Blessing the Beasts.

A quaint ceremony is that still OBJ
tanning in some parts of Normandy
the benediction des bestiaux.
The oxen. the asses, and the draught
horses are assembled in front Of a
church. There may also be bullock
or two and perhaps. some COWS. The
procession of peasants, clad in their
very best, issues from the church TO
the sound of a chant that is droned
by the priest. The venerable cure
sprinkles a few drops of water on
the heads of the beasts. and when all
the animals have received the bene-
diction the next feature of the cere-
mony is to place at the pedestal Of
the cross facing the church certain
bundles tied in coarse linen, These
bundles contain bread and salt, which
are to be given to those beasts not
able to attend the ceremony.-Harp-

women who follow the modes Is the
week following when the first of the
spring fabrics are placed on view.
Next week we shall see the new mule
and muslins. new silks. new ribbons
and laces. new linens. and new hats.
Then will come a short period of
entirely new things In hats. wraps and
frocks. They will be copies OF the ad.

be compelled to adopt because 1t will
be too late for another period Of try

the individual taste dictates.
In spite OF all that has been said
and written against the present styles
no person with love for the rich and
beautiful can see gathering OF truly
fashionable women this winter and
not be struck with their extreme
Gracefulness. Since the fad for skirts
OF historical scantness passed, skirts
have been growing more and more
graceful. Skirts are still narrow and
q woman might not wish to take a
step that is over long in her best gown
but they are far from being an outrage
against good taste.
There are still to be found the lead.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, Dec. %
An armed ship believed to be the fill
buster Hornet, which sailed with arms
and ammunition for the Honduran
revolutionists, has been sighted off

The Hornet is far better manned

This city is in state of terror as
an attack is expected momentarily

SUGGESTED
MOTHERS SCHOOLS
Noted Educator Says Such
Institutions Should Be
Established Soon.

ST Louis. Mo-. Dec 2a.-Agricultur-
al colleges teach the care OF pigs and
calves. Why shouldn't schools of do
nestle science and home economics
teach the care of babies?
Aren't the babies as important as
pigs and calves?
DR.. Edna d. Day, of the uni ersity
of Kansas, wants TO know. She is
working to establish a school for
prospective mothers at the university.
She is delegate to the convention of
the American Home Economics asso-
citation. and she is the originator of
the idea of school for mothers. She
thinks young women should be taught
before marriage:
What to do when baby is teething.
How to cure collie.
How to avert forced marches at
night.
What to reply when baby says "da-
da" the first time.
| How to come through the second
summer without suffering nervous
prostration.
Orphans for Laboratory Work.
| MY plan is to have supply of in
fants from orphan asylums for labora-
tory work. said DR.. Day. The stu
dents could care for these, learn the
principles of food selection and how
to meet the domestic crises baby duly
presents.
- ri
the added advantage that wives of the
faculty could leave their children a.
the laboratory when they wanted to
go calling in the afternoon. Every
mother should be free of the care Of
her child for a few hours daily any
how
ITO leave the baby out of a domes
tic science course is like leaving Ham
let out of the play. We teach young
lect to teach them to care for the lit
tie life which should be the center oil
every home. 1t strikes me as absurd
"Of course, there is this difficulty:
Few girls would care to take up such
a study with the candid admission
that they were fitting themselves fol
the responsibilities of motherhood
But they could pretend that they were
studying to become nurses in the
homes of the rich folks at large sal
aries-and they could do that work
of course, if they chose.
Training for Motherhood.
ut is not my idea to train children'i
nurses, but to train young women fol
motherhood. There are now three Of
four places in the United States where
young women are taught the care O.
babies, but they are recruited for the
most part from the servant classes
and they do not take up the stud,
with the thought of becoming wive,
and mothers. The university-bred wo
man is the one we need to reach.
Until recently it has been assumed
that woman knows instinctively how
to care for her offspring.
I'VE now know that this is not true
If girls could be taught in advance i
would save much unhappiness and sui
fering certainly and perhaps SOM
lives"

NEW YEAR EVE IN
HAPPY OLD GOTHAM
(American News Service)

New York. Dec 29.-All the big no.
tells and restaurants in the metropolis
are making extra arrangements for
the entertainment Of their guests and
patrons on New Years Eve. At all the

BILE reservations is reported to be
greater than ever before, from which
II would appear that the action of the

the festivities. Music will enter large

Plaza. the Waldorf-Astoria. the Hotel
Astor. the st. Regis. the Knickerbock-
or and other big hotels. Many novel
ties for the night are being prepared

only recently been opened to the pub
