National Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty TO Children. One of her first
duties during her husbands year Of office
will be TO enlist still further the support
and sympathy of the public on behalf OF
this charity Furthermore, the various
local charities over which Lady Truscott
presides at Chislehurst VIII have their
claims 10 support represented at Mansion
House meetings. The new lady mayoress
takes a very keen interest in all benevo-

Grafton Of the lot of poor children or the
protection of infant life.
For many years Lady Truscott has en-
ioyed the reputation of being one OF the
hardest workers for charity in London.
Perhaps her most successful scheme. and
the one Of which she is proudest. has
been to revive lace making as a cottage
industry, and thereby give congeniai en-
ployment TO a number OF women and girls
who are already able to compete favor
ably with foreign lace workers.

girls, have been brought up at home IN

girl is just eighteen, and 1t is likely that
she will be presented during her mothers

With practical politics. Lady Truscott
does not concern herself. On this head
she has already expressed herself quite
definitely in the following words: There

incongruous in such gowns
Perfect fitting corsets are the first
requisite toward the success a woman
should seek II she wishes 10 acquire a
graceful and correct figure, according TO
the present dictum Of fashion. She should
put them on while in a reclining posi-
ton. To do so. she must, OF course. be
fitted for them in the same position. the
reason for this being that when the body
is lying fat it is naturally narrower
and the weight is not thrown on the
hips
After being fitted in this position, the
wearer. when she stands up, retains the
same figure as when lying down.

HEART AND HOME TALKS
Queen Anne Fronts and Mary Anne Backs

It is. you see, a deeper question than
mere untidIness or laziness. The woman
who permits this sort of thing to go on
In her home Is really trying 20 impose on
the world. She is endeavoring to make
her neighbors and her visitors think her
home is finer than it is, that she dresses
better than is the actual case; that she is,
in fact, something which she really is
not
Such a life is not so sweet or whole
some as the one that is true and sincere
through and through. 1t has bad effect
on the morals OF the family. II IS ex-
ceedingly hurtful 10 children. But II
there was no one to be affected by it but
ones self, this attitude toward life does
not make for the greatest happiness or
the finest character growth.
Sham, the effort TO be something one
isn't. brings anxiety. worry, discomfort
These in themselves mar life. But they
are of small moment in comparison to
the effect Of deceit on character. True
living, be il ever so simple: sincerity
and genuineness bring a peace and tran
quality that put Joy into life. Happiness
abides with truth
Better a little, one-roOmed cottage that
is, from the front door to back gate, the
expression Of the truth OF ones life. than
a pretentious house that is half sham
Life will be happier In it, character will
grow finer One viii stand for truth and
sincerity; ones life will gradually gain
an influence that makes life worth while
For. after all. the woman of the Queen
Anne front and Mary Anne back deceives
nobody in the long run but herself. In
the course OF time sham wears thin and
the truth shows through. One has moth
ing for such life but the struggle it has
been and the discomfort it has brought,
while the life that Is sincere and true
grows sweeter and more full of JOY with
every passing year. BARBARA BOYD.

Double Skirts.

From tbs Philadelphia North American.
As natural outcome OF the tunic idea
there comes the double skirt, pleated, and
Of soft material. 1t must under no con-
dition be attempted In any rough. heavy
weaves unless the tub be your ideal for
a silhouette
Much can be said in favor of the double
skirt. The many bordure materials can
be pleated and quickly fashioned into
rough lengths. Embroidery. if you are
able 10 use two founees as q double skirt
is not so forbidding in its cost
In some advance models that come as
heralds of the new styles the double
skirt is pleated quite full on the lower
tier. with a scantier pleating OF the
overskirt.
Then, just as a daring attempt. one
French maker sends q delightful black
and white checked model with three cir
cular skirts The idea is not overdone
by the clever modiste. but a word Of
warning must be sounded 10 the woman
who possesses width at the hips For
her the line Of the double skirt must be
lowered
Yes. one very clever practical mother
observed; think how many skirt pos
sibilities for the growing girls are con-
tanned in one double skirt Of pleated wolfe

way of looking at the new fashion

Rough Straws.

From the Philadelphia North American.
For morning or afternoon there is a
decided tendency toward the rough
straws. There is something youthful in
the appearance, and with this pleasing
element goes a sufficiently ornamental
character that needs little trimming.

selection for the spring.
Then. again. the large fat shape Of
rough straw is an excellent background
for wreath Of field flowers or a bunch
of roses.
The rough straws are more durable and
retain their shape more successfully than
the finer weaves. They appear in all Of
the spring shades and shapes, and are
willing TO meet any reasonable demand.

The home with the Queen Anne front and
the Mary Anne back is about us shame
lessly everywhere Many a housekeeper,
so she presents a respectable front to the
world. doesn't care what she presents to
the family. She takes care that what the
world sees is spotless; but as to what
those who know her intimately see, she
Is different
She rarely thinks what this attitude
means, Of what it really stands for, or
of its effects upon her own character or
on the children OF the home. If there are
any. She probably does not consider 1t
in any way seriously. She thinks she
must keep things fairly respectable where
people will see them. because she wants
their good opinion and doesn't want to
be talked about But that any grave
question can be involved doesn't enter
her head.
Neither do those who look upon Queen
Anne fronts and Mary Anne backs con-
slider that more IS involved than untidi-
ness or laziness. But it is a matter that
goes deeper than these.
If you enter the home with the Queen
Anne front and the Mary Anne back. you
viii find the parlor properly furnished
and neatly kept. often extensively and
fashionably furnished But you will find
the kitchen and bedrooms. all those parts
of the house from which the world is
barred, shabby and untidy.
If you know the mistress OF one OF
these homes intimately. you will find she
always dresses fer company, but for the
home folks. or when she is alone, goes
about in a most slatternly fashion.
It's an attitude of mind that causes
Queen Anne fronts and Mary Anne backs.
a desirs TO appear to be something one is
not. It really is a form of hypocrisy. The
one with this sort OF home is really a
sham. She is leading a life that is partly
sham. She is a constant object lesson Of
deceit to those about her.

ular young men behaved like pigs. II re-

Significant proceeding. TO say the least
The public reports Of the feast were dis
gushing enough. yet they were said 20
fall short OF the reality. Champagne may
have been responsible for some OF the
boortshness, but drinks had not been
served when the throwing OF food began.
It is worth while to ponder on the fact
that the young men who disgraced their
college came from families where one
would naturally look for the n!eetes OF
life.
Perhaps we have been getting back to
nature more rapidly than We guessed.
Possibly we are near the point whers
tables and dishes are unnecessary, where
hands are everything In the feeding proc
ess. II so, we have found the answer TO
the problem OF expensive living We can
sit upon our launches and eat whatever
happens to be at hand. and amuse our
selves while doing il, and we do not need
colleges and other luxuries. More than
ever am inclined TO the belief that time
spent in the search for higher education
is wasted in very many cases. The boy
who is willing to study and be a credit TO
himself and the family which may he

the only one who is benefited by being
spared the task Of earning a living
There IS nothing like hard work TO take
the nonsense out Of a youth; there is moth
ing like idleness to foster It. A proper
punishment Aot every one ol muse stu
dents would be a prompt transfer from
college to work any kind of work that
will keep brain and hands busy till the
body is tired. heard one man say that
the quality Of brain owned by those
young men was open 10 suspicion. and
that was the mildest thing said in my
hearing. Truly there was little sympathy
for the offenders and harsh criticism for
parents and guardians, even though the
college Is a favorite, and excuse for Il is
usually to be found when there is trouble
brewing. The end of the affair is not
even in sight. reckon, for nobody can
tell what precautions will be taken
against a repetition OF the affair

Keening Shoes.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Shoes should be kept well oiled in damn
weather, and il wet should be dried slow
" lest they warp or shrink. The method
of occasionally rubbing over kid shoes
with castor oil Is adopted by some people.
One of the best methods of rendering
new boots impervious to damp is that
OF vanishing the soles. Three or four
ooatinss should be applied in succession.
while the whole surface of the leather
composing the uppers should be rubbed
over with cut lemon, the latter precau-
ton insuring a good polish at the outset.

One of the plainest and most easily ac-

They reach from the band to almost
the hem, and are slightly gathered at
the girdle line. Their finish is a strip Of

Blue and white checked linen frocks are

The breastplate on euriously cut model
