For a girls father a plain silver frame,
band more or less wide, may be good.
Leather of any kind commends itself for
masculine faces. and nothing is better
than a surrounding of plain ivory. Hand
painted affairs are sweet and charming
for the pictures of children. Silk and
satin frames are good for them, too,
always provided that the setting does not
overweight the infantile face it surrounds.
If each frame has been chosen with re-
gard for the picture on which ii is put
the matter of hanging becomes greatly
simplified, for there is less danger of bad
grouping. Etchings and engravings with
mahogany or brownish mountings obvi-
Ously are in harmony with foreign pho
tographs whose frames blend with the
tones of the subject. There will be no
difficulty in making water colors and
gay French prints with white or narrow
gilt frames be in perfect unison, while
should there be oil paintings of any size
they will Of necessity hang alone. with
possibly a small frame Of like character

with another that is small.

was the fact that so many young girls
are apparently ignorant that arms have
much to do with balancing the figure.
There is no habit that viii make n girl
50 awkward and so emphasize every bad
point Of her figure as that of holding her
arms closely to her sides or of keeping
the elbows at a sharp angle from the
waist line Unfortunately, these manner
isms are apt to be permanent. An awk-
Wari girl becomes an ungainly matrOn
and a positively uncanny looking elderly
lady. simply because she continues TO al
low her arms To- appear crooked and sharp
and ugly when they might 50 easily look
shapely and round and graceful.
an many instances awkward looking
arms may be traced 10 unsuitable cOrsets,
which may be ton high or too tight or

eles full play. for Unless tie shoulders can
move easily she arms are certain to be
held stifay and appear to be buricned
with superAu9us elbows. and the con
seiousness of baking awkward will cause
the most se.f-T-lssessed persons to feel 81.

alas! where are they?
They have receded into the dim, faint
shadows of old time drawing rooms, along
with the ghosts of the mock knocking
birds who trilled so complacently from the
charming threats of the charming maidens
of other days. Concert giving and opera
going foreign travel and consequent So
phistication in musical matters have
driven them quite away. The amateur
may no longer expect a tolerant attitude
toward mild, ladylike efforts. Especially
in the great cities, where musical ap-
probation has been fostered by the OPP
portunities so frequent in the social world
of hearing the worlds greatest artists in
the worlds greatest music, is there little
tolerance for the amateur who does not
possess both native gift and sound train
ing.
Nevertheless every girl who is prepar-
ing for a social career studies music. If
she have voice worth training she trains
1t almost as rduously-indeed quite as
arduously, although possibly not for so
long time-as a person who intends be-
coming professional singer. If her voice
is not found to be promising and she still
possesses decided talent or even taste
for music, then she must devote herself
with even greater determination to the
study of instrumental music-the piano,
the violin, the organ, the cello. All of
these instruments are considered desir-
able for the girl who intends to use her
art as social accomplishment.

No instruction is considered too expen-
sive for her. She has the same masters
as the professional singer or player, and
is held to as strict an account in her use
of the instruction as if it were so much
expenditure for a money making future
instead of being merely social invest
ment. She is expected TO improve her
time and not to dawdle or to take her
musical training lightly.
1t is serious business indeed, and unless
she devotes herself to it with all due ear
nestness she is apt to find her musical
efforts in little demand after she has en-
tered the ranks of young ladyhood.
That is the standard set for the girl
who has voice and musical ability and
who is expected to put her talents out at
usury until they shall bring her back a
bountiful increase in the form of a social
accomplishment more desirable than any
other. But what of the girl who hasn't
voice-that is, not real serious sing
ing voice, or voice of sufficient promise
to render its serious training at all worth
while?
And what of the girl who has no par
ticular musical talent in any direction?
Does she, too, study music?
If she is a fashionable girl she does. In
the first place, it is considered necessary
that she should appreciate music as much
as possible. Hardly day goes by in the
existence of social butterfly when there
is not at least one musical performance on
the programme 1t may be a private
musical, a subscription concert or a
series of musical mornings, and then there
are always the opera and the other public
musical events on which society has set
its stamp of approval. The girl into whose
life all these things enter largely must
understand them, and appreciate the diff
ference between good and bad perform
anees sufficiently to reap some pleasure
for herself from the events and to con-
verse intelligently on them. And the best
way to understand the accomplishments
of the greatly gifted in all the arts is
to go as far along these lines as one may.
But the girl who is not particularly gifted
studies music in a different spirit from
that Of her sister who has a voice or an
ear or some one or all of the many gifts
which go to make up musical artist. The
other girl studies nowadays, in a humble.
spirit, not with the expectation of airing

nationality should ever be kept in
mind. avoiding too much fiction.
To arouse interest in reading the
teacher should be able to read aloud
and well to the pupils; should be the
center of culture she represents. with
her mind stocked with ability to diff
fuse to others.
George b. Utley. librarian of the
Free Public Library, Jacksonville. said
teachers should be interested in any
measure that would assist the Libraries
which were needed for supplementary
reading. The only municipality sup
ported library iff Florida is in Jack
sonville. The public library takes up
the work where he school leaves OFF.
The public library is the University of
the people, and is a place Of general
information to everybody. Legisla-
lures should make appropriations for
free local and for travelling libraries.
Public opinion should be aroused on
this subject.
The next subject before the meeting
was THE Public Library a Modern
Necessity" led by Hon. G. d. Rine-
hart, of Jacksonville.
This gentlemen treated his subject
in an able and careful manner show
ing study and consideration Of his pro-
positions along this line which would
inspire to greater effort and ultimate
success.
The Students Help Fair was ex-
planned by Major Russell. of Brooks
vile. This fair is under the super
vision of the State Teachers AssOcia-
ton. and is connected with the State
Fair Association. 1t consists of ex-
hibits of work from every department
in the schools, done by the pupils, for
which prizes are offered. 1t includes
not only workmanship, but essays, etc
and each teacher should secure list
of the prizes to be given, and en-
courage the pupils to compete for
prizes, as it arOuses greater interest.
Prizes are also offered for the best
rural system of education.
