tails. and then he is lost. As a matter
of fact. he seldom notices the ''points"
of a woman's clothes at all. If her
costume pleases, he looks his approval,
and If it doesn't he finds fault about
the whole outfit. not knowing just
where the blame lies.
just now he is having a great deal
to say about hats. He has fixed upon
them because they are so big they
could hardly escape his notice.
Have you noticed that the majority
of men use almost the same words in
describing the way they think a
woman should look? Yet, if their wives
should forego their pretty, fluffy POM
padours becoming hats and frilly bits
of neckwear, for meat, trim and plain
things, their husbands would be the
very first ones to voice their disap-
proval. Men use those adjectives only
because they sound well.
Anyway, If they did know what they
were talking about, it would do them
no good. We know what is stylish and
what isn't don't we? MOLLIE.

"Well." replied a man in trolley
car the other day to a question con-
cerning his opinions of the present
styles of headgear for women, ''of
course l don't know, but they strike
me as looking as if they were made
out of the accumulated odds and ends
of ribbon and velvet and feathers of
The last FIVE years. Besides, they are
entirely too big" and he gazed re-
fectively at girl opposite, whose hat
was in danger of putting out the eyes
of the women on either side of her
every time she turned her head
"All women do not look well in small
hats" Indignantly said the young
woman who had asked the question
tWould you like us to appear in little
turbans, with no style at all" she
added scornfully. cor would you like
us to wear small caps, year in and
year out?'
"There you go said the man with
a grin, Il knew you would not like

me to dwell on their beauty whether
meant it or not, didn't you?

bans or caps" he went on; 1--WE would

B. SELIGMAN TALKS ON
"PARENTS' INFLUENCE"

BENJAMIN Seligman was the speaker at
the meeting of the Parents Association
of the Warren and Wickliffe Street Schools
held in the Warren street building last
night.
His topic was 1.-THE Inhuenceo of the Parent
Over the Child" and he declared that the
environment of the home and parental
guidance had much to do with child's
success in life. Mr.. Seligman said that
many parents had not fun realization of
just how much their children's futures de-
pended on their home training; parents
ought to be well acquainted with their
interests, both in school and out, and that
both mothers and fathers should take m
terest enough to visit the schools, noting
what work is being done and its manner
of accomplishment and to attend the Pa
rents Association meetings. where they
would always be sure to hear many things
which would help them solve their per-
plexities in regard to the children.
MIR. Seligman dwelt for few moments
ON the evil effect Of smoking, and the
danger of giving beer to children. He said
that many parents made the mistake of
doing this: they gave beer to their chill
dren at noon for their dinner, and as
consequence the latter were so sleepy and
'.dopey' during the afternoon session thar
their lessons could not be properly learned.
The speaker also said that parents should
do all In their power to help the children
with their studies at home
The miscellaneous program, consisting
of songs, choruses. Instrumental music and
a gymuastic drill, was given by the pupils
Of the third grade May Rooney a pupil,
gave vocal solo, lullaby, which was
grently appreciated.

Poor Eleanor, she has an affair of
the heart. She was quite broken up
when I called today" said the tall
brunette as she Joined the girls at the
tea table. "She is denying herself to
everyone, but when l sent up my card
she sent word for me to come to her
room, and there she wept out her woes
on my shoulder"
What" Another AFFAIR." lisped
Bess. why, it's no time since she
had love affair with that chap over
on the West End, with the love all
on her side"
Yes that seems to- be a falling of
Eleanor's Her love affairs are be-
coming quite a commonplace thing.
She has knack of losing her heart
to nearly every eligible man she
meets" replied the first girl as she
slipped her tea and munched a biscuit.
Il have no patience with such senti-
mentalism as she treats us to-" the
little housekeeper said as she gathered
up the tea things II suppose she
can't help liking a person, but 1 do
think she can help making herself so
ridiculous and making such a show
Of her feelings for everybody to laugh
at"
It's pity that there are girls with
so little spunk as to leave themselves
in a position to be laughed at, and
yet this girl has no one but herself to
blame If her friends criticise her ac-
tions and are lacking in sympathy.
Because certain young man showed
her such little attentions as acting as
her escort to the theatre a few times
and sending her flowers she lost her
head and took 1t for granted he was
in love with her and straightway fell
| In love with him The man understood
and made his position clear to her, foI
he was too honorable to lead her to
believe his attentions were at all
serious. He has left the city because
ne told mutual friend, he knew she
felt the humiliation, and he did moi
want to add to her annoyance.
Very often when a man is kind to 9
girl In the matter of such small cour-
tesies as candy, flowers, books and the
like he is often misunderstood, and
milady is apt to attach too much inn
portance to these little attentions
A girl / know wept because a Ger.
tain young man did not act as hel
escort at a social function a shori
while ago and the only reason she hae
to expect he would was because he
danced with her a few times on &
former occasion.
Il girls would only accept the atten.
tions that come their way as they art
meant they might receive greai
many more and. in the bargain, thes
would be a whole lot happier.
Because a man sends girl books
and music and spends some or his
leisure time IN her company she ha.
no guarantee that he is In love witt
her and intends to marry her. shs
should at least have the delicacy tt
permit him to make the first advances
