SQUARE WITH WORLD AT s5.


In address on "Hygienic Living"
given in the Gilbert School recently.

turer at Yale Medical School, said
that curvature of the spine frequently
resulted from sitting in certain posi-
ton in school,
Eight girls are thus afflicted to
one boy" he said, and he attributed
this to "the boyish spirit of deviltry," :"
which keeps lads constantly shifting
about, while the girl, ever anxious to
please the teacher, assumes position
and keeps it. "She suffers from hav-
ing been good" said DR.. Arnold. The
average child of parents in ordinary
circumstances, he went on, represent
ed an investment at one year Of $50
to 800, and at fifteen or sixteen
years of $4,000. These estimates are
not in r,gard to the value to the pa
rents in affection, nor is the actual ex-
pense to the community in schools
considered.
"At eighteen" DR.. Arnold said,
''the average child begins to keep
himself, and at thirty-five, the results
of his labors considered, he is prac-
tically square with the world Thus,
q person dying under that age goes
out of the world indebted to the COM
munity. Consequently the commun-
ity should leave nothing undone in
protection for its children, for II the
results are not what they should be

RESTAURANT ETIQUETTE.

"A girl who has been invited for the
first time to dine in a restaurant
writes to ask what she shall wear
and how to conduct herself. To the
FIRST query I say she may wear either
her dressy cloth gown or pretty SILK,
and favor cloth suit with dainty
separate waist. Her dress hat should
be worn, for she must look attractive
without being conspicuous.
Her escort should call at her home,
and when they enter the restaurant
he should precede her. When her
escort notifies the head waiter that a
table for two is required, according
to the custom in this country, the
girl follows the waiter, preceding her
host:- but If she wishes to follow the
European custom, and allow her
escort to go first, he will be directly
behind the waiter. Then, If the To-
cation does not suit, the man can OBJ
3ect before the girl has seated her.

lows her escort into the restaurant is
optional. II
