.SHYNESS NOW FOUND
AMONG TUE OLD
Young Person Not sTimid Nor
Is She Unacquainted With
Her Own Mind

Few of us realize how many people
are handicapped by shyneSS. II is not
always found among children-indeed
these days one seldom sees a shy child
but often grown men and women are
af1icted by it and never can shake IL off.
1t is more common in persons worth
knowing than in those who are COM
monplace; indeed there is a sort of re-
firing modesty in real worth which
often makes those possessing ii appear
to be awkward. On the other hand,
there is bold self-possession which
has nothing but vacuum back of il.
These things are Unborn and many a
gray haired man or woman of long ex-
perience suffers from shynesS to an as
toniShing degree.
Women notice these things in their
club work. The girl of this period. ac-
customed to public speaking by reason
of belonging TO clubs, has a GOODNESS
and self possession lacked by her
mother. That is not saying that she
knows more, or is more capable
woman than her mother, but simply
that the latter was not brought up to
speak in public and is much shyer than
her daughter. Perhaps we lean little
too much toward self-pos session these
days. although it is a most comforting
commodity. A shy child is such a rarity
that she should be put up for exhibit
ton In museum. That is, a child at
all well placed in life. Children from
the Sums who have not been spoiled,
are shy and very attractive That is
one reason why women like to teach in
industrial schools among the poorer
classes; the children do not appear to
know ii all, and a simple pleasure gives
them great joy. Other children are not
cnndren at all; the girls scorn to play
with dolls. and the boys are blase at IA
ANY woman of so might envy the
SELF possession of a Is year old modern
girl She has read books which her
mother would not have read at 20, and
one will find that she has theories and
opinions upon every subject At times
a grown woman who is wise is a little
chary about expressing her opinion
upon certain subjects, but she will find
that her Is year old daughter has dis
cusSed them with her friends and come
TO definite conclusion which she will
1mpart with no embarrassment Some
times mother will be completely
dominated by her young daughter and
VIII quote her opinions to other wom-
en- as If they We're of value. Now the
truth is that the opinion of a Is year
OLD girl on any subject is of no value
at all. 1t is life and experience which
bring wisdom. and a mother should
tell her daughter that she may be lis
tened TO with awe by those Of her own
age. but that for her to express her
opinions to women or men older than
herself about things she naturally
knows nothing of is wretchedly poor
taste, to say the least. Fifteen year
ola girls should be seen and not heard
when they are with older persons.
But this is far from the practice of
today. A girl of 16 can tell you lust
what kind of man she is going to

CHICAGO, April 19.-Although in

that an amicable adjustment of the
diff1culty existing between the team

are that the strike of the teamsters

Nlolets cut from cloth of a lighter shade

petals, and every one was fastened to
the gown by embroidery silk to imi-

every violet was fastened only by one

Excellent War Record Of General BTugere,
Chief Of the French Army,
Whose Remarkable Treatment dt the
Hands Of the Ministry Has Amazed Both
Army and Public X " X

When the scandals about spying
on private political and religious
convictions of army officers began
under General Andre as minister of
war, it was found that Andres right
hand man at the ministry, General
Percin, was responsible for the ac-
tive part of the work ordered by
the minister. When Andre fell.
Percin was wisely removed from the
ministry, although retained at the
head of an army division No love
was lost between him and his bro
ther officers, however. and numerous
snubs have been lavished upon him
ever since. Finally, ten days ago,
he got tired of this attitude, and,
unfortunately, he selected the COM
mander-in-chief of the army from
whom to demand cordial recogni-
tion.
General Brugere had carefully alb
stained from any comment on the
Andre-Percin incidents, and had OBJ
served the regulation relations with
his subordinate, General Percin; but
he made no secret of the fact that
the more completely he could avoid
Percin when off duty, the more
agreeable it would be TO him. Sus-
