has passed over many people huddled
together, or many chimneys. No Won

Ell?
And the ozone! Yes, it makes you
Jingle all over-that natural tonic of
the air which chemists can't find in the
crowded cities But they find more in
the inland country, and most Of all in

The Dowager Queen OF Italy is quot
ed as saying in a recent interview that
FReligious instructions should be the
basis of culture, particularly for VIC
men. Their character will grow with
it, A religiously trained girl is always
better able to take care of herself than
strong-minded unbeliever. This is
true of all circumstances of life. The
unbelieving girl is called strong
minded; she is really not strong-soul-
ed. Furthermore, she loses the grace
of imagination. Her heart is hardened
by prosaic experiment such as cannot
give her the strength needed in difficult
ties and sorrows. When the world
fails her, as it is sure to do some time,
such as she will not be able to trust
in a heavenly power A woman with
out religion is a flower without per-
fume, She is an object to be pitied.
From infancy religion should be in
stilled into children, more especially
girls. This should be followed by gen.
eral culture, keeping in view a prac-
teal aim for girls, particularly for
those who have to make their own
way in life.
IF we except the United States, il
is not so long since there were few,
callings open to women. Now they can
enter the institutes of fine arts and the
universities, and almost all walks of
life suited to their sex are open to
them. AS a result men, even in Euro
pean countries, are beginning to con-
slider and to respect women after the
fashion of America, and those who are
called the weaker sex are commencing
to exercise a stronger influence on So
ciety.
I'm Italy a quarter of a century ago
women had only needlewoiK and teach
ing between which to choose. so that
they could scarcely earn a modest liv-

The lingerie parasol is, if anything,
more popular than >.st summer. 1t is
seen in linen of all grades, from the
finest batiste to the heaviest product
of the Irish looms, and it is varously
embroidered in shadow work, Hedebo
gut work, English eyelel work en-
broidery and the always handsome sa-
tin stitch.
Sometimes the only characterization is
the owners monogram in satin stitch
on the section. And again. as often,
the parasol is covered with a success
sion of embroidered ruffles Women
who have a taste for ornamental nee
dlework embroider their own parasols
and have them mounted after their
own ideas.
Occasionally they carry the fad still
further and embroider fans to match
the parasols, having both mounted in
mother-of-pearl, ivory or white ena.,
meled wood The lingerie ian is indeed
the most exclusive of summer novel;
ties, because one must either embroider
it herself or have it embroidered to
order.

The late Paul Laurence Dunbar used
to like joke about the higher educa-
ton of women. In one of his lectures,
delivered late in June, Mr.. Dunbar
said; "A lady on a sultry summer af-
ternoon called on some friends. The
talk buzzed along briskly, fans waved
and the daughter Of the house kept
twitching uncomfortably, frowninG
and making little smothered exclama-
tions of annoyance. Finally, with an
impatient sigh she rose and left the
room,
Your daughter said the visitor

No said the hostess. She is just
back home from college and she is suf-
