Tells Unique chiIdren's Tales.

One of the busiest young women in
| America, particularly about Christmas
time, is Miss Ethel Wood, school
teacher of Brookline, Mass. Miss
Wood is becoming widely noted and
deservediy popular because she has
hit upon new way of telling stories
to entertain children. She ignores the
old Mother Goose brand Of children's
tales. Her method is strikingly orig
inal. 1t was by accident that Miss
Wood became such an original story
teller. One morning she overheard
little boy say, Jack Frost bit my
nose" A little girl said, "He blew my
curls too" The boy declared that
wasn't Jack Frost, and the girl asked
who it was, then. The boy was at a
loss for reply, but on the inspiration
of the moment Miss Wood spoke up
and said it was Tommy Tingle who
blew the girls curls. Of course every
body in school wanted to know who
Tommy Tingle was, and the teacher
told them Tommy was the wind.
Then she had to improyise a story
about Tommy Tingle and his doings,
how he roams about tossing curls and
carrying leaves and papers and all
that sort of thing. After one such
story Miss Wood found herself be-
sieged for others. She was invited
and then impIored to tell stories before
Sunday school children and at other
gatherings. She has acquired large
stock of unique tales for children,
many of them having to do with the
Christmas holiday myths. Miss Wood
is a native Of Michigan. Her ability
to discern the sense of humor in chill
dren and feed it properly accounts
largely for her success.

To illustrate the enormous proper

it is interesting to take the most aris-

six are occupied at different periods of

six are Mrs. Potter Palmer. Mrs. James

VAGARTES OF THE MODE.
Ear Burial In Hair One instance of
Absurdity In Today's Styles.


The wise woman avoids the extreme
in fashion. If she be a person of re-
fined tastes anything that is inclined
to famboyancy in effect does not ap-
peal to her, and she chooses something
less pronounced. 1t matters not how
firmly the fashion makers deliver their
dicta-if the products of their inven-
tive genius are not consistent with the
refined woman's own ideas she refuses
to accept them.
1t is for this reason that one never
sees the fearfully and wonderfully con-
structed headgear which is displayed
long in advance of the season in the
windows of ambitious shOpkeepers on
the heads of those who are endowed
with good taste. The woman Of taste
does not agitate herself over novelties
Of any description. The most care
fully and even fashionably attired wo-
man is the one who makes a study of
her own especial style and does not
permit another to dictate to her in
matters Of dress. Of course this does
not mean that she ignores the estab-
lished features of the current mode.
It means rather that she declines to
adopt those which she considers IN
suited to her particular case,
There Is cause for regret that fem
mime good taste i'll the matter of per-
sonal adornment is comparatively so
rare. 1t would be work of the most
herculean effort to convince woman
kind that such is the case, but it is
time that an active propaganda to that
end were established. A good place
to begin would be with hairdressing
Every now and then those who man
age such matters succeed in effecting
an entire revolution in the method of
arranging the hair. From time i'm
memorial woman has yielded a slav-
iSh obedience to this senseless custom
With most women it is not so much a
question of what is becoming as Of
style.
Here, again, the woman of correct
taste refuses to follow the lead of
4hose who are willing to sacrifice ev-
erything to the vagaries of the mode
Without adopting a style which is
conspicuous for it's divergence from
