room of the central school beautiful

to mothers is always discussed. At the
meeting last Tuesday Mrs. Henry Win
ter, an earnest member, spoke on the
subject that is commanding the atten-
ton not only of individuals and organi-
cations, but of sthe Nation, the awful
white slave traffic. On this subject and

When earth's last picture is painted

When the oldest co1ors have faded and

We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need
it-fe down for an con or two,
Till the Master Of all good worknen
shall set us to work anew.
And those who were. good shall be hap
Ply, they shall sit in golden
chair;
They shall splash at a ten league can
vas with brushes of comets hair ];
They shall find real saints to draw from,
Magdalene, Peter and Paul;
They shall paint for an age at a sitting,
and never be tired at all!
And only the Master shall praise us,
and only the Master shall blame,
And no one shall work for money, and
no one shall work for fame;
But each for the Joy of the working,
and each in his separate star,
Shall paint the thing as he sees it for
the God of things as they are

A good deal has been told about the
late David Graham Phillips habits anc
methods of work, but chiefly on the
physical side 1t has, for instance, beer
stated repeatedly that he seldom went
to his desk until aften 10 o'clock in thu
evening, and that when the mood wa:
on him he was interchangeable, writing
from eight to ten hours at stretch. Ar
erroneous idea that has been held by
many is that he had a rapid, fluent pen
Nothing could be further from the
truth. Mr.. Phillips admitted that from
first to last he always found literary
composition a labOr-a labor of love
that he could not have escaped, if he
wished Every one of my books was
written at least three times, said Mr..
Phillips, and when | say three times,
really mean nine times, on account OF
my system of copying and revision
One curious anomaly in the working OF
Mr.. Phillips mind was the manner in
which he usually acquired his germ idea
of a story. His instinct was to write
purpose novels. He always started
from an episode or a character, some
times merely from a fall glimpSed for
a moment in a crowd. 1t was charac-
teristic of Mr.. Phillips also to start
from some person or incident having no
real bearing on his story. In THE
Hungry Heart which came near to be-
ing the authors favorite among all his
books, it was recently pointed out in
friendly criticism that a woman such as
the heroine was portrayed to be
the first half of the story
would neither have remained with her
lover nor gone back to her husband,
but would have lived alone, unless some
third man had come into her life Mr..
Phillips explained that when he reached
the midway point the characters took
The matter quite out of his hands. He
suddenly awoke to a realization that his
leroine was quite a different woman
from what he had all along supposed
Ter to be; she made it clear to him that
he was not the kind either to keep the
Did lover or to take new one; she was
he type of woman who would have the
ourage to go back
One of the most important chapters
Il the life of Mr. Phillips was that
which relates to the Treason of the
senate" articles written by him for the
Magazine. The Senate
cries marked a great turning point in
is career, as they brought him into
wider publicity than anything he had
yer written These articles were his
most daring, most trenchant, and as
1any critics hold his most successful
ttacks upon such constituted authority

over in this country. Many of the
est telling facts were secured from
enators themselves, men who were
urning to throw off the yoke OF the in

ed from chest complaints or because
the idea of appearing in public with
their bosoms partially uncovered
was repugnant to them. An ex-
tremely we'll known peeress-one of
that small band that may with truth
claim to lead society-put the case
against the low-necked dress rather
tersely the other evening: ''Why
should it be looked upon as indeli-
cate" she asked, for a woman to
expose her legs, about which there
is at least nothing sexual, when at
the same time she may wear a dress
cut so low that it ought to bring a
blush of shame to every modest wo-
mans cheeks?"
This, there is excellent reason to
believe, is the view that Queen Mary
now takes Of the low-neck dress,
and in her crusade against it she has
the support Of King George, who
differs very considerably from his
late father in his dislikes of the
present full dress of the ladies of

She LIKES EN- WORN HIGH
QUEEN MARY FROWNS ON THE
DECOLETTE FROCK.
Reeress Makes a Striking Compare
son, and Society Women Are
Cutting 1t Out,


LONDON.-Queen Mary is no ad-
mirer of extreme decolette. AS a
consequence the very low-necked
dress will rarely be seen at court
functions under the present range,
and will be little in vogue in Eng
lish society generally for a time, for
when the queen undertakes to act
as arbiter in the matter of dress
her word carries far.
Already she has made it clear to
the ladies of her household that if a
dress is cut away at the neck at all
it should be as little as possible. At
the present time the edicts of the
court make it compulsory for low
necked dresses to be worn on all
"full-dress occasions but this will
be greatly modified during the next
few years.
Her majesty always prefers to in
trOduce innovations gradually, but
she has already made it clear that
elderly ladies and others who desire
to wear high-necked dresses at next
season S courts may do so without
infringing any detail of court ETH
quette. The fashion of wearing the
frocks high at the neck has been
coming into vogue for sometime
past, and has always had a power
full supporter in the Princess Royal,
who has been responsible in some
measure for the change in view of
the present queen.
Her royal highness communicated
this decision to the late queen, who
at first protested strongly against
the idea, but the princess stuck to
her point, with the result that event
ually her grandmother gave way.
This was the edge Of the wedge, and
since that time it has become the in
evitable custom of the Princess Roy
al to appear at all evening functions,
with but very rare exceptions, in
high-necked dress. Since then many
society leaders have been glad to
follow her example, either because,
like her royal highness, they suffer

FEMININE TENACTTY OF LIFE.
Differences of Mortality Rates Be
tween Men and Women.

tween Men and Women.
1t is a well known scientific fact
that the term of life Of women is
slightly longer than that of men. The
difference of the mortality rates dur
ing the first few years of life, how
ever, is striking. During the first
year the mortality among males is
decidedly greater than among fe-
males.
Although more boys are born than
girls the proportions are reduced to
almost even ,erms at the end of the
first year by the excessive male NOR
tally. Even during the first four
years the mortality among males ex-
ceeds that among females, notwith-
standing the fact that there are
practically no distinctions made in
the management of the two sexes.
Both are subject to the same condi-
tiOns, are dressed virtually the same
and receive the same food
At the age of about five years the
comparative death rate among girls
begins to increase. This has been
attributed to the fact that boys of
Ihlo dSS dAS AIOl Z III Lie open oil D..
The mortality in both sexes dimin-
ishes from this time until the
twelfth year, when it attains the low
est point. 1t then steadily rises, be-
ing larger in each successive year
Between the twelfth and sixteenth
years the death rate among girls in
creases more rapidly than among
boys, but after the sixteenth year,
for several years, the rate of increase
is more rapid on the male side.
