Her Mothers Quarrel.

Dear Miss o
Kindly give me our opinion on the
following as soon as possible: II a girl
OF IS be forbidden by her mother to
visit a very near and dear relative on
account of a family quarrel, which had
nothing to do with her whatever, would
1t be right for this girl to see her rela-
tive secretly, and dlsobey her mother?
DOUBTFUL
mother, and ask her IL she considers IL
quite fair to forbid you to see the rela-
tive to whom you refer. because OF a
quarrel in which you had no part. If
she remains obdurate the wisest course
asking her not to blame you for not
communicating with her for a time.

Cases of Marvellous Business
Sagacity Of Which Sex
Should Be Proud.

TO say that women are making
tremendous successes as lawyers,
doctors, painters, designers and in
hundreds Of other callings, is only to
repeat what all the world knows; but
women have not stopped here, nd all
the world does not know that among the
ranks OF feminine workers are num-
bered those who can we'll take their
places beside the great organizers aud
financiers and not suffer by the COM
parison.
There are several of these, and 50
notable have their successes been that
1t would be impossible to classify them
according to merit, but certainly none
can take precedence over Mrs. Clark
Fisher. They say that the times make
the man, but in Mrs. Fishers case the
emergency made the m 1t was
during a severe illness Of her husbands,
who was then cad of the Eagle
Works, OF Trenton, New Jersey, that
Mrs. Fisher first felt the imperative
call to go herself to s~uperintend the
management of the factory. Previous
~ she had taken no more interest in
the business of making anvils n vises
for those are the products Of the
Eagle Works-than to plant ivy under
the factory window, but When the re-
sponsibility rested on her shoulders.
she set out to learn every DOT and
branch of the work.
Even more notable, in view Of the
financial interest involved in her enter
prise, is the achievement of Mrs. Rosa
Herman. Here is a typical German
American woman who conducts an in
dustry which employs 5000 men. pays
out 81. 0o0, 900 yearly in wages, and nets
her a profit of $1,000, 900 a year. She
is the president Of the H. Herman
Lumber and Furniture Companies,
which, besides seven offices in this
country. have branch Offices in London,
Hamburg, Durham and Natal.
Mrs. Herman also keeps up her So
ciety interests. She maintains a hand
some, old-fashioned house on Stuy-
vesant Square, the old aristocratic Sec
ton of New York, where her tall,
handsome figure, set off by a striking
ly beautiful face, leads at meny func-
lions. So much in demand Is she for
social events, and so well is her ability
along these lines recognized, that she
was the sole female representative APP
pointed by the German societies on the
committee to receive Prince Henry
when he visited this country. Mrs.

Sheridan outbid others who asplred to

How London Gives Practical
Lessons in Cookery and
Domestic Work.

Nature study is another thing which
mas or late years sprung up as a gen
erai subject of education. Enthusiastic
enc will tell you how they take
children out to study animal and plant
HE, when whole patches of children are
carried off to some country place for a
week or a fortnight to have their in
terests stimulated and their minds en-
larged.
But all these things are taught right
here in America, and most of ms. in
our pride OF birth n progress. think
mat we are the most advanced nation
on the earth. If we only knew it. we
could take a few lessons from our
mother country with much profit to
ourselves and the coming generation.
In h county council schools of Lon
don the girls learn cookery and do
nestle work. And they learn 1t also
from a practical point of view.
III London the girls are given no elab-
crate utensils, nor are they taught how
to cook a dinner that would cost as
10 siSif idtHeTS cou1Q earn in a
week; but they are shown how to pre-
pare, with the simplest of pots and
pans, the sort of meals they will have
to cook when they have homes of their
own.
The London County Council has taken
a hat where small classes of girls are
taught, by practical experience. how 20
cook. sweep, dust, shop-in fact. the
whole art of housekeeping, in a home
of that kind.
They are instructed how to prepare
meals to a tabulated income, the lowest
being twenty-eight shillings (about
seven dollars) a week. The girls are
first taught how to buy what they re-
quire, n are then shown how to cook
and prepare their purchases.
How to wait at table Is another
branch of h%ousewifely lore that is
taught the girls Of these County Coun-
Gil schools. The correct setting Of the
table. the proper side upon which plates
are passed and served, and the serving
up of meals in a neat and appetizing
fashion are carefully impaired.

America Second to No Country

TT is remarkable what a change has
taken place in children's education
in the last few years-comparatively
speaking. The child of today learns a
variety of. things that no ono ever
thought of teaching his father and
mother.

three RS were considered the only
really necessary item of education, with
history, geography and a language OF

But now, all over the country, all

jects. is taught a number Of different
things.

PLATTS OF SEPARATE SKIRTS.

Separate skirts of soft cloth are very
wide, In fact they could scarcely be
much wider for actual comfort, and
they are plated. The sheer ones are
over taffeta foundations; those for
street wear are not stitched on the
plaits, but they are pressed into shape.
This is more. stylish than practical, for
pressed plaits 0 lose shape, but that
is the style at any rate. Skirts made
of serge are smart and hold their

patterns with panels at the front and
back. though many new models are

Peel and slice five potatoes, ado them
