She was just fifteen. Her mothers friend, who
was shopping with the mother and daughter, stared
at the girl in amazement.

vellous secret in your training" she asked in an
undertone when Mcent had gone on ahead to
look at some shirtwaists 81 don't think my Cora
ever said can't afford in all her little life and
she's sixteen To want thing is, for her, to tease
to buy it, irrespective of price"
Il think the secret is that Mlicent has dress al
lowance and must clothe herself within that sum-"
said the other mother.

she likes ?" asked the friend with wide open eyes.

"She seems to be learning" observed the friend.
'When did you begin the allowance plan?"
Ever since she tiny thing she has had
small allowance for certain things. When she
reached her twelfth birthday | began putting into
her hands monthly the her father and l felt
could afford to spend her dress and candy
and the other things girl must have. She pays
everything of it except her school expenses. Of
course, she doesn't her own judgment entirely;
she talks things with me, naturally. Oh she's
committed some wild extravagances, but she very
learned that extravaganza in direction
meant pinching in another for she could ex-

n New German Decree.

German homes and German newspapers have been
far more occupied with the Prussian governments
decree granting higher education to than by
discussions on German and British naval ornaments
or the meeting of the two sovereigns The granting
of educational opportunities for girls and women
equal to those of men is regarded marking great
change in German life where than in western
states, women have been considered the keepers
of the home and workers in minor industries.
The Introductory paragraphs of the decree of the
ministry of education, which has been approved by
the emperor give the reasons for the change in the
system Modern life, says the decree, develops
increasing Discrimination the part of of the
upper classes marry, and girls in the upper
and middle classes are prevented from becoming
wives and mothers 1t is desirable, therefore, that
the surplus of young women should have chance of
preparing themselves for professional callings
According to the scheme, girls to be educated
in all studies embraced in a specially arranged
riculum beginning at minimum age of six years.
At the end of the seventh school year the pupils will
begin to derentiate in their studies those preparing
for advanced instruction having special courses laid
out for them. After two years they will again be
arranged in divisions, classical modern higher
study respectively Then after four years work they
will, under normal conditions, be admitted to
aminations for matriculation to the universities.
Up to this time their education will have been
carried on in separate schools, but in the university
co-education will begin. Those who at the end of
the seventh year do not elect to take university
course may continue the ordinary courses until they
reach the age of SIXTEEN after which they may leave
school or take two years in modern languages music
and domestic accomplishments, they may take four
years special training as teachers.
This scheme has been under discussion and pre-
paration for year There has been agitation for
equal privileges for the since the early $685. and
most of the other German states have already grant
ed them
Frau Helene LANCE has been leading advocate
of this intellectual emancipation. Professor Adolf
Harnack of the university of Berlin said today that
women now had equal rights with men to enter
all the technical Schools with the exception of the
art academies, and that this prohibition probably
would be removed soon.

Elsewhere in this paper will
be found the announcement of
Philip Stoll for solicitor of this
circuit. There are those who
might think that for personal
reasons this newspaper and its
editor would exert all the inhu-
ence that could be brought to
bear against Mr. Stoll. This is
not the case. When it comes
to local county affairs, we may
differ and in the heat of differ
ence personalities often creep
in, but when the whole county
is concerned and there is need
for unity, we forget everything
else and shoulder arms. We
assure MIR Stoll that in this in
stance, there is no desire on the
part of any North County voters
to chastise him for his oppo-
sition to the new county move
ment.

Kingstree is wonderfully favored
by Nature. Approaching the town
from any direction, one is simply
amazed at the natural beauty of
the elevated location and the high
and dry appearance of the place
in contrast with the low fiat
lands of the surrounding country.
With good fall to Black river
on the west and to the canal on
the east the natural conditions for
drainage are perfect. The giant
oaks and other magnificent shade
trees add their touch of charm
and enchantment, while the up
springing of new stores, residences
and $4,000 school building
are the sterner signs that the
day of small things is passing.
With just little more care and
skill (there's plenty of money!
we could have "city beautiful D

of the wheels of vehicles from

inlaid and outlaid with heavy
plank on a level with the top of
