ATTRACTIVE GOWN FOR SUMMER

Y ERE Is an attractive idea for a
~ simple gown which every sum
mer wardrobe needs. A frock
which may be packed easily and
above all one that may be put on with
out too much trouble is more than a
mere convenience, IT is a necessity, and
fancy one would look a long while
before coming upon more appropriate
model than the one presented.
Printed fabrics nowadays are as
beautiful in tone and texture as though
they cost dollars instead of pennies.
Soft silks, softly finished piques, cham
bray, or lawn, as the fancy dictates,
may be successfully used in its elabora-
ton. And trimmings Of contrasting ma
terials enhance the modish effect

Only one out Of every ten puts the

that. However, If there CHANGED TO be

In the Public Schools

That the public schools should
give vocation or industrial training
for all students along practical lines
| including domestic science and re-
lated subjects, was strongly urged
| by Miss Abby L. Marlatt, professor
of home economics in the College
of Agriculture of Wisconsin in an
address before the Woman's Club of
Madison recently.
That this training should be given
in the grades rather than in the high
school alone was emphasized by
| Miss Marlatt, who pointed out that
not more than three per cent of
! girls ever enter the high schools
and of those who do only one per
cent go on to college. She believes
that training in right living is not
vocational only, but cultural in the
broadcast sense. Training for home
making and the care of the young
is not determined by local industry
but is a national question.
"The girl who has learned to cor
relate her studies of science, art,
literature and language to the issues
in her own life," said Miss Marlatt,
through the study of the applied
knowledge in household economics
will have not only basis on which
to build for any work-good health
and a clear brain-but will have
laid the foundation for the profess
sion of home-making, which in the
end is woman's highest calling"

To-day's snowfall gives promise
of Christmas sleighing.

There is a habit common amo ng
the young men much more danger
Gus than it appears and which may
lead to results extremely disastrous
the habit of borrowing money. 1t
is a habit contracted with great
ease and once started there is no
knowing where it will end. A few
dollars are borrowed to please some
passing fancy with every intention
of returning the loan in a short
time. But the thoughtlessness
which caused the purchase of an ar
ticle beyond ones means likewise
allows the interval to elapse with
out any provision having been made
to meet the obligation. Perhaps
half the debt is ready, but more
money is borrowed from another
friend to complete the amount, and
so it continues indefinitely. Soon a
number of debts are contracted and
however small they tend to burden
life and make it unpleasant and al
most invariably leads to dishonesty.
Young men with small salaries
should by all means avoid the habit.
To do so will necessitate perhaps
many sacrifices, but no dangers are
run in living within ones income.
And, beside, the habits of economy
and frugality learned when the in
come is small, will bear fruit in
abundance when it is larger. 1t is
a safe rule in youth at least to Dor
row not"

How To Get On In The World

Most of our successful men be-
gan life without a dollar. They
have won success by hard work and
strict honesty. You do the same.
Here are rules for getting on in the
world:
Be honest. Dishonesty seldom
makes one rich, and when it does,
riches are curse. There is no such
thing as dishonest success.
Work. The world is not going to
pay for nothing. Ninety per cent
of what men call genius is only a
talent for hard work.
Enter into that business or trade
you like best, and for which nature
seems to have fitted you, providing
it is honorable.
Be independent. Do not lean on
others to do your thinking or to con-
quer difficulties.
Be conscientious in the discharge
of every duty. Do your work
thoroughly. No one can rise who
Sights his work.
Don't try 70 begin on top. Begin
at the bottom and you will be sure
of reaching the top, some time.
Trust to nothing but God and
hard work. Inscribe on your ban
ner: Luck is a fool; pluck is a
hero"

In order to maintain domestic
tranquility and tickle the honest
soul of your little wife, the husband
must endeavor to appreciate her
daily household efforts and show it.
When she has the house clean and
cosey, don't scatter cigar ashes
over the library table, Morris chair
and carpet, don't fill up the spit
toon with tobacco SLAYER and cigar
butts for her to carry out and clean.
She does not appreciate such evil
dences of thou ghtlessness and
might rebel against such conduct.
When she stands all day in the
kitchen and over the hot stove bak-
ing and boiling to please you, do
not criticise her if the mullins are a
little extra heavy and the beefsteak
not fried as you like. Don't tell
her every day about the good pies
your mother made or what lovely
meals you had down town. 1t isn't
polite nor right. This reminds us
Of a tramp who came to a certain
door for a handout. The lady of
the house watching how the hungry
tramp relished the cake and pie
said, You seem to enjoy my bak-
ing and it never suits my hus-
band" The tramp replied, well,
why don't you get divorce, and
marry me-" The constant grum-
bling of some husbands is enough
to drive the wife to the bughouse
or divorce court.
