CONTEST TO PROVE BEAUTY
OF DISTRICT CHILDREN
BEGINS IN EARNEST TODAY

its vicinity may be entered, and 1t makes
no differ ence whether It is a Borden-fed
baby or not.
In fact, there is just one condition Of
the contest, and that is that the child
shall be not more than three years OF
age.
Elsewhere in The Washington Herald
this morning you will find full particulars
of the contest, a description Of the go
prizes to be given away, and instruc-
tions in what to do to have baoy's PIC
ture taken.
Give your child a chance to win one
of the handsome prizes.
This is every mothers duty.
In talking of the contest yesterday.
the mother of little girl Of two sum
mers was hesitating about entering her
picture.
"She is beautiful to me-" she told me,
but see her through the eyes of moth
er-love."
Children Dear to Everybody.
I reminded this dear little modest
mother that all the babies entered in the
contest were seen through the eyes of
motherhood, which, after ALL are not such
far different eyes from those of the rest
of the world, for, somehow or other, the
heart of the people mothers little chill
dren.
And think we shall all end the month
that we are to spend studying their win
some faces with the knowledge Of new
codes, for we may learn much from a
little child-an Of frankness, all Of trust,
and all of God.
Sidney Lanier said that we may find
God at the height Of a wood violet.
I would rather he had said that we
can find Him in the heart of a little
child.
For this is the thing that makes our
children so beautiful, this divinity that
shines in their dear frank eyes.
Nowhere does one feel this more than
in Washington, for nowhere else are
there so many pretty, bright-eyed chill
dren.

times already.
Now it is up to you to prove it.

seen of her she was hurrying through
the rain toting the child in her arms
Mr.. Crenshaw took up the narrative.
When morning came she was gone,
but the child done stayed behind. I've
heard Aunt AlSidia tell US how the old
general said that morning, pale and shak-
ing like, 'YoTH find a boy asleep in the
red room; he's to be fed and cared TO,
but keep him out of my sight. His
name is Hannibal Wayne Hazard That
is all the general ever said on the mat
ter
The old general was borne across what
had once been the west lawn to his rest
ing place in the neglected acre where the
dead and gone of his race lay, and the
record of the family was complete, as far
as any man knew. Then Crenshaw, as
sisted by Bob Yancy, proceeded to secure
tie great house against intrusion.
They passed from room to room, Sc
curing doors and windows, and at last
stepped out upon the back porch.
''Hullo'!I said Yancy, pointing.
There on a bench by the kitchen door
was Hannibal Wayne Hazard asleep.

something of the nature of his friend S

"A woman ought to be boss in her own
house, said Crenshaw.
'''Feelin' the truth of that, I've never
married, Mr.. John. But 1 was going to
say, what's to hinder me from toting
that boy to my home?"
If you'll take the boy, Bob, you shan't
lose by it,
Yancy rested a big knotted hand on
the boys shoulder.
Come, wake up. sonny The child
reused with a start and stared into the
strange bearded face that was bent to-
ward aim. It's yo" Uncle Bob con-

Yancy balanced the rifle on his great
palm and his eyes assumed speculative
cast.

gun, and hearing this old gun go-bang!

You come along. then" and Mr.. Yancy
moved of in the direction of his mule
the child following.
Thereafter beguiling speech flowed
steadily from Mr.. Yancy's bearded lips,
in the midst of which relations were es-
tablshed between the mule and cart, and
the boy quilted the Barony for new
world.
The afternoon sun waned as they went
deeper and deeper into the pine woods,
but at last they came to their journeys

Coming down on the car Saturday
morningI saw a frolcksome baby pok-
ing a small puppy between the eyes with
his mischievous finger, gurgling over
with the gIee of his harmless occupation,
and I wished nightly that could have
just the picture I saw for the Borden
baby contest. which begins to-day.
And this reminds me to say to you that
the home picture made at some moment
when the little tot was quite unconscious
of the fact will be just as acceptable
in the contest as the more pretentious
photograph taken in a studio
Just so the picture is clear, so that it
will reproduce well in the paper, it makes
no difference where nor how it was
taken.
Some of the most attractive pictures of
children that nave ever seen are those
that were stolen of them at play, for
when they were all unconscious of the
photographer some fieeting, rogueish ex-
preston was caught that would have
been quite frightened away in the picture

CHAPTER II.
Can't. Murren Asks auestions.

In the deep peace that rested like a
benediction on the pIne-clad slopes OF
Scratch Hill the boy Hannibal followed
at Yancy's heels as that gentleman pur-
sued the not aTduous rounds Of tenn
perate industry which made up his daily
life, for II Yancy were not completely

The accusation of being extravagant
should not be laid at every woman's feet
because only a small percentage OF Wom-
en- are really extravagant. These few
women are nearly all born with an in
stinct for luxurious things-and 1t must
be satisfied, no matter what the cost
may be.
The thing at fault is the price scale
of women's apparel, because 1t Is so
much higher than that for men. Be
sides, fashion demands that women
should have more extensive wardrobes
than men, So IL is easy to understand
that it costs women more to clothe them
selves-and incidentally earn the reputa-
ton of being extravagant
Very often this unjust scale of prices
causes friction in the home-the hus-
band cannot understand why his wife
spends so much money for clothes. But
he would if he realized that he follows
one conventional style of dress and that
the price of mems apparel seldom varies.
Hats Cost Less.
As an illustration-his summer hat Of
straw generally costs 50, and rarely does
he require more than two Of these hats
during the season. And il he also de-
sires the luxury of a Panama hat, he
may crafty his wish for an expenditure
of s. or so. So. you see, for very
small amount he can be well crowned
for the season. In the winter his derby
costs Sand that is for a good quality.
His tall hat may cost SO or S15-but
not this amount each winter, as most
men are content with having their silk
hats steamed and refinished, as styles
do each
She must have:
A smart tailored hat-which is extreme
ly moderate at a cost of so, but more
satisfactory at SIS or SO
An afternoon hat-at about the same
cost, or q little more than the tailored
hat.
An evening hat-This may cost any
where from SIS to $50, 800 or more, &C
cording to the quality and quantity of
plumes, aigrets or rich laces with which
1t is adorned.
The tailored suit is about the only
thing in the wardrobe of a man and
woman that balances. In this progress
sive generation a man or woman may
pay SO or 800 for a suit. And the woman
who is really extravagant may pay 500
or more.
women's blouses and mems shirts do
not balance at all While a woman should
and house wear-a man only requires an
English cutaway coat suit for afternoon.
The Prince Albert coat is becoming
passe.
Needs Many Gowns.
The we'll dressed woman needs dinner
gowns and evening gowns each season.
while a man may wear the same Tuxedo
suit to dinner for at least two seasons.
And his evening suit will remain in style
for that period, or longer. In fact, nei-
ther of these suits change very materially
in style.
The cost of hosiery is about even-eX-
cept that It is possible for woman to
pay more for fine silk stockings than do
men for the best silk socks.
However, 1t is only the woman who is
married that ever enters controversy
about being extravagant-her husband
simply cannot comprehend the bills. But
he should.
The business woman bears the injustice

OF all people in the world, I feel most
sympathy for school-teachers.
Their position is so important; their
influence so vast; their intentions SO phi
lanthropic; their usefulness so handicap
ped by the parents and by the school
boards.
Not long ago I read the cry sent forth
from a man teachers heart about the
difficulties he encountered in trying to
instruct his children in manual training
lessons. The pupils were so badly
brought up at home, so wilful, so un-
gracious, SO inattentive, that he had to
give large portion Of his time to train
ing them in the small matters which
should have been learned at home, and
the manual methods had to wait in con-
sequence.
Such a teacher is situated like a chef
who is asked to prepare a good dinner
in a short time, and who receives from
market, not the expected chickens and
vegetables all ready for the grill or
kettle, but unplucked fowls and vege-
tables right from the soil, unwashed and
untrimmed.

Surely not the chef.
Children Unframed at Home.
Most children are sent to school raw
and mentally and morally ''unwashed, -
unframed in the common courtesies of
daily life, ofttimes impertinent and i'm
polite, and lacking all ideas Of obedI-
ence.
To train these children into attentive
and interested students requires much
more patience and time and effort than
to take them through two school years
after they are trained.
There are too many young children
sent into the schoolrooms Of America. A
physician in Boston has stated that more
than 1000 children under ten years Of
age wear eyeglasses in that city. He
thinks it due to being taught too young
TO study books. The eyes of children
were not intended for such work at that
age. Now comes a new idea in schools,
and 1t is to be hoped 1t will grow into
generally accepted method Of teaching

Nursery Notes,

Baby should not be set on his legs too
soon. When he feels like 1t he will start
walking as naturally as any other little
animal does.
Peace at any price is the motto Of the
mother who resorts to the baby com
forter." None the less, to suck one Of
these ugly teats is a bad habit, difficult
to break. and 1t is as unhygienic as 1t is
Objectionable.
Baby IS much happier left in peace to
kick and crow in his cot than If he is
continually being handled, and the con-
slant nursing some mothers give is
merely gratifying to their own sense
Of possession and not comforting to the
child.
Oatmeal does not agree with every
child. and when it causes heat spots its
use should at once be discontinued.
