VARIETY RESPONSIBLE FOR
AMERICAN GIRLS FAVOR

Foreigners are impressed by the pc
culiar attractiveness of American wom-
en-" writes Grace NJ. Gould in the Wom-
ans Home Companion. They say that,
next to their own women, it is the Ameri-
can woman who charms the most.
Now, why is this so?
1T is because OF the infinite variety OF
the American woman, which pleases the
eye and holds the Imagination. When any
large number of women are under OBJ
servation, attractiveness must imply con-
stant change, for human nature soon
wearies of what is monotonous. If the
first, last and every woman that the for
eigner saw all looked and dressed alike,
the first might we'll be the last for any
interest he might feel in them.
His experience is this: He meets the
tall and stately wife Of his club friend,
whose poise and elegance archer con-
In to dinner fluffy, conflding young
creature without any poise at all. Later,
perhaps, he meets a 'blue-stocking' girl,
who looks at him critically through her
lorenette, and from her he turns to de-
mure, mouse-like maiden whose tnfre-
quent gaze is soulful and who says little,
but who says It so intensely. The flirta-
tious girl and the athletic girl come In
their turn, and he finds 1t all exhausting
and bewildering.
yet, he remembers distinctly each one
OF those American types, because each
one, by her dress and her manner, has
emphasized her own identity"

SELF-HELP PRINCIPLES ARE
BEST IN TRAINING CHILDREN

A mother who has had great success
in bringing up her little girls on self-help
principles says that she has always found
that playing at being grown up encour-
ages her children to be lesoUrceful and
Independent.
To help them she gives her little girls
in their bedrooms miniature furniture.
The chest of drawers is not too high for
the child to reach to the topmost one,
and the little one is taught to put her
clothes away neatly in them and to
play" over the process.
The washstandd is low enough to be
practical, instead of uninteresting and
alarmingly high, inviting accidents and
causing nervous children not to use it
for fear of spilling the water, and the
hanging wardrobe has hooks that even
the shortest of siX-year-oI poSsessors can
reach. Miniature furniture of this kind
gives the child a sense of responsibility
in the most delightful manner possible.
Upon the little low bed and other pieces
of furniture ii Is customary to inscribe
notices that will be good for the child S
morals, connected with the virtues of get
ting up early and quickly, being cheerful,
pail upon a child rather quickly but to
some little ones they would undoubtedly
add 20 the charm Of the furniture.
1t is essential that a child's bedroom
should be as light and airy as possible,
and if white enameled suit of furniture
be given to the little girl of faStidious
tastes she will take a pleasure i'll keeping
it clean, and should be taught to dust her
own little belongings and thus to save
others trouble and to lay the foundation
IF future clever housewifery.

CHILDREN SHOULD BE
TAUGHT PARTY MANNERS

The afternoon children's party has its
duties, self-sacriflces, pretty courtesies,
and demands on Juvenile tact no less
than the more splendid affairs Of grown
ups.
Even in the playground the little host
and hostesses should be taught the, OBJ
legation resting on them to sacrifice
their own pleasure for that Of any guest
and play the games the visitor pue-
is not good form for the entertainers
to be the most elegantly dressed Of the
merry-makers.
There Is no more perfect time for plan
ming a children's party thaW in the late
summer or the early autumn, for then
the entertainment can be arranged out
doors. In the freedom Of an outdoor
party in the society of many play
fellows children acquire such bright
spirits and are usually in such merry
mood as to make It comparatively easy
matter to entertain them.
Carefully think out a programme of
games which will be interesting and
amusing and adapted to the number
and ages of the young guests, and pro-
vide prizes and favors which will have
meaning and are appropriate as well as
give real Joy to those who receive them.
Let Children Help.
The children should be encouraged to
write their own invitations under the
mothers guidance, on small, prettily
decorated note sheets or cards which
come for the purpose. Engraved invita-
tions are seldom used for children's
entertainments, though in circles where
great wealth is enjoyed invitations to
Juvenile parties are often issued in this
ceremonious, though incongruous, form;
the wording is nearly that used on the
cards issued by their elders.
