HER KINGDOM FOR A DRESS.

HER KINGDOM FOR A DRESS.
Margaret North, pretty nineteen
year-old school girl of Chicago, repre-
Sented herself as another person and
secured a gown in which she could
outshine her girl companions at a
party.
The girl was afterward arrested and
acknowledged in court that her long
ing for fancy clothes led her to COM
init the Illegal act.
The judge fined her $50, which was
paid by her father.
According to the fathers statement,
the girls humiliation might have been
averted but for the desire to excel in
dress. She wanted to emulate the ex-
ample Of girls whose parents were
rich.
my daughter has frequently told
me-" he said. that unless she could
be dressed as well as her chums they
would not want to associate with her.
my daughters sad case should be
warning to other girls of middle cir
cumstances who try to emulate girls
whose parents are wealthy"
Mr.. North says his daughter asked
him with tears in her eyes for a new
gown for the select party. He felt he
could not afford to crafty her. On
the impulse Of the moment she secured
the gown by false pretenses and made
the misstep which brought her bitter
disgrace and her family deep chagrin.
The lesson is not merely for girls.
1t is for schoolteachers and parents.
The public school is or ought to be
pure democracy. Any considerable
distinction of the pupils by way of
dress defeats the equality and frater-
nifty Of the school and should be
frowned upon Every child should be
made to feel entirely at home in the
schoolroom.
/ Parents should keep the desire for
expensive school clothes out of the
heads of their girls.
1t matters not If the parents are
financially able to buy fancy clothes.
They are out of place in the school
room.
Besides
Such dressing fosters a trait in girls
that needs no encouragement. In
stinctively they desire to wear pretty
clothes, but these need not necessarily
be expensive clothes There is plenty
of time further on In their lives for
elaborate and costly toilets.
Poor Margaret North.
Desire for dress, that craving for
beautiful things which has ruined the
lives Of so many women, has made Of
her an early victim. She has paid her
penalty.
