Don't Talk About 1t.

When we have a grievance it Is so
tempting to go and talk it over with
friend or relation.
Tempting. yes: wise. no
For, as rule, we are so keen in the
irritation Of the moment for sympathy
that the temptation to paint with a
big brush is almost irresistible.
And later-well, later probably we
find that there were extenuating cir
cumstances; the culprit was not so
black as we had fancied, and in our
penitence we would give great deal
to be able to recall the unjust things
that we said. For, rest assured. we will
always be reminded of them by the
person in whom we confided

The chief end of doctors is to teach
people to keep well with the minimum
of dOctoring. The chief end OF
authority is to qualify people for SELF
government The chief end of parents
and schools is to train children In
wisdom and knowledge. that they may
be able to take care Of themselves.
That has long been understood in its
relation to boys. The idea OF educa-
ton for boys is to train them up
through obedience to liberty. We want
to make them free, and wise enough to
thrive on freedom. As fast as they
can bear it we put upon them in
creased responsibility for their own
conduct, and their own use of time
and of money. What we want of them
finally is not merely to respond with
docility to the care that Is taken Tor
them, but gradually to become qualified
to take care of somebody else. And
steadily and rapidly our civilization
has been coming to have like attitude
toward girls. They are not boys IN
skirts, but very different creatures:
their needs are different, their ideal
work in life is different, the processes
of education which seem most profit
able for them are different; but in
them, too, we grow more and more
solicitous to develop the capacity to
take care Of themselves and eventually
of others; to develop, indeed, all
possible capacities that are not in
compatible with one another, and with
the highest and best and most i'm
portant destiny that life holds for
girls.-Success Magazine.

The Rampant Monogram.

Monogramania is it's technical name.
Everybody has it, and initials are
broadcast.
Sometimes they are small and some
times bold as bulletin boards.
The background may be silk, satin,

But purses and belts are deficient

Script letters are perhaps the most
popular letters for this purpose.

On purses the letters are detached

Travelling bags are always equipped

On these the letters are perfectly

THIS Is THE TRUE
STORY OF CORA"
From the st. Louis Times.

From the st. Louis Times.
Cora is play of Partisan life. of tho
studio and theatrical side Of that life. In
Europe it would be called a comedy, for
it's ending is not unhappy but it has tense
moments-moments peculiarly fitted to the
extraordinary personality of Nine ka-
Itch. Heredity plays a strong part In
Cora" but not in the morbid or tragic
strength in which it has been used by
the modern realists.
In the first act we are introduced to
George GARNER. hard at work in his stu
dio upon a painting of Midenette. a typ
ical Partisan milliners girl, posed for by
Chocotte, an equally typical Latin Quar-
ter model.
What a queer thing love is, eh?' said
Chocotte. 1T comes-it goes; do you
know what keeps me straight? The fact
that 'twixt the cup and the lip l al
ways lose the taste of the wine.'
But Chocotte is not the model for tho
work on which Carriers hopes are placed.
1t is Cora, a girl of good family, who is
struggling against fate and hunger as an
artists model. She has been the inspira-
ton for Georges masterpiece, with which
he hopes to win the medal at the salon.
So absorbed is he in his work that he
has forgotten even the young girl whom
his wise parents have selected for his
bride. He loves his beautiful model as no
does his art-purely and tenderly. Her
heart, too, has been touched for the first
time, and she tells him her simple story.
Cora has been an orphan from an early
age, and upon leaving the convent had to
endure the bitterness of her life in mar
row bourgeois family, where she is an
unwelcome guest. At Is she had taken
her future in her own hands and fed to
Paris, where she taught music and finally
had been induced by Choootte to become
a model The scene, which has almost
developed into a mutual confession of
love, is interrupted by the arrival of
Georges mother and his f1ancee.

that George is engaged to be married,

one man she trusted has deceived her.
leaves the money he has just paid her
on the table and leaves the studio never
to return.
The second act takes place behind the
scenes of the Theatre des Varieties in
the dressing room and ante-chamber of
q prima donna that has all Paris at her
feet. 1t Is Cora. 1t seems that her
mother had been a great singer, who
had married and suddenly left the stage.
Cora had been accidentally discovered by
her mothers former manager, and is at
the height of her triumph. The green
room is thronged by characteristic lot

WARD MAY BECOME
BOARDS PRESIDENT

The Board Of Education meets tomor-

ing.
The first matter demanding the atten-
ton of the board is the induction into
office of John L. Parker, who, at the
last meeting of the city council, was
elected to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of B. A. Thompson
George B. Ward, who in addition to be-
ing a member of the board, ex-officio, in
virtue of his position as mayor of the
city, is regular member, having sue
ceeded James ]. Smith, resigned, and who
is now vice president of the board, will
probably be elected to the presidency.
Mr.. Thompsons resignation, in addi-
ton to creating a vacancy in the men,
bership of the board, caused the vacancy,
too of the presidents chair.
In addition to the induction into office
of the new members and the election of
president, there are many other matters
of a routine nature to meet the con-
sideration of the members.
