Perfect Self Reliance.
Mrs. Clark is noted for her original
ideas and those of rearing children
may be placed apart as unique She
believes in teaching a child seIf-re-
lance and self-control and instilling
liest years. Miss Genevieve and her
brother. Bennett. have had absolute
control of their affairs since they were
mere babies. Each member of the
family has a separate circle of friends
and no one encroaches on the rights
of the others. Miss Genevieve buys
her own clothes, sometimes after con-
sulting with her mother. but usually
on her own responsibility.
She conducts her affairs at school, un-
aided, and plans her holidays only
asking sanction of her plans. which is
readily given.
Since Mr.. Clark became such a pro-
minent political figure, the question of
Miss Genevieve's future has been ear
lestly discussed. Those maidens who
are to make their bow next winter
would like her company. But accord |

The Clarks live modestly in an
partment house just off Dupont cir
lie, Washington, and Miss Genevieve
olds court in her own way during the
ew leisure hours that she can spare
rom her classes.
