Schoolgirls Their Own Dressmakers

A novel proposal made by lady in
spector has come under the considera-
ton of the Romford school managers. It
is that schoolgirls shall become their
own dressmakers. Needlework in ele-
mentary schools Is at present confined to
odd pieces of miscellaneous cloth OBJ
tanned at trifling cost. The inspectress
proposes that the girls should be taught
to mend clothes and to make complete
garments suitable for their own wear.
The idea is regarded as excellent: but
the provision Of material to make COM
plete dresses would involve considerable
expenditure The view of the managers
is that it would amount to giving the
children free clothes, and this principle
they are not prepared to adopt. 1t Is
probable a way out of the difficulty
would be found II the parents provided
the material.

which street car she should take to reach

number she wanted to go she had re-
piled: "Oh. it isn't Dubois street want
to go to, but couple of blocks from
there, giving the impression that she was
going to meet some one whose address
or identity she did not want to disclose.

Millmans back comb, handsome article

was shown to Miss Hening In the cor

directed to the finding on Tuesday last,
in the Toepel building at ia Gatiot ave-

clothing. The garments were piled on the
floor in an upper hall. In addition to
white dress. shoes and underwear of
good quality, there was a lavender au-
tomobile veil. On top of the pile rested
book entitled 1.-The Red Horse HILL"
The Toepel building is not far from the

being erected new Office building at
which would have been easy to secure a
sack like those in which the girls body
was found, and bricks such as were
used to weight the sacks.
