Overdressed School Children.
the San Francisco Newsletter

From the San Francisco News-I etter
A special investigation has been made
OF the manner in which the school chill
dren OF New York are dressed This re-
search work was conducted by q branch
or the Child Welfare League. Statistics
were gathered regarding the average age
at which young girls are allowed to use
rats In their hair, corset themselves like
grown-ups and employ the aid of cos
metics to mar their fresh beauty 1t was
discovered that the percentage Of chill
dren attending private schools who were
permitted to resort to these articles was
much lower than in public schools. The
investigators reported that the parents OF
the children in the private schools were
somewhat responsible for the saner APP
parel OF their young whenever they chose
schools without certain restrictions in
dress; and in schools without restrictions
the girls in private schools under sixteen
years of age averaged better in the mat
ter OF common-senSe dress than in the
public schools.
This is not surprising when one con-
siders conditions in New York and the
children who inherit the cheap finery OF
their sisters who have already begun to
work. and scrimp and save and hunger to
buy new gewgaws. 1t would be very in
teresttng to make the same comparative
study here. and discover whether hobbled
and rated hair and tight skirts and Cos
samer hosiery is the common or garden
variety Of school girl or the carefully
cultivated one. The other day I heard a
woman who Is model mother and a
member of the smart set complain that
she had had an argument royal with her
f1fteen-year-old daughter, who insisted
that the tailor make her new skirt a
scant two yards around. like the other
girls" and when the mother interfered
daughter sulked for three days.

Theatrical Situation.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
The announcement that a New York
firm of vaudeville magnates is to build a
theater, costing, with the land on which
1t will stand, approximately SO. 800. 900.
shows in a striking form the vastness of
the money investment in the American
theatrical business. The announcement
comes at time. however, when the ma
jority of managers are beginning to recog-
nize the folly of extravaganza. and. as 1t
also happens at a time when the theatre

ager OF musical play to spend $4,000 or
$50 600 ON scenery costumes and mise-en-
scene and many Of the great Spectacular
dramas cost as much or more. The need
of the hour is for modesty OF expenditure
on the part Of managers quite as much
as is the need for more valuable enter
tainments, from the point of view of
thoughtful playgoers. II less money were
involved, managers could afford to be
holder in experimenting with what was
new and artistically promising, and there
is warrant for the view that some man.
ayers would be only glad enough to do SO.
But when half a fortune is to be risked
everything must be centered on the re-
turns An unhealthy competition has
forced the producers into the desperate
game of outdoing one another in lavish
ness-no-, unfortunately, in excellence, but
in what will make the readiest appeal to
the eye of an amusement-craving public.

The Greatest Women.
rom the Providence Journal.


Mischief, thou art afootr' Mr.. Car
negie might have exclaimed when he
gave to the world his list of the twenty
greatest men. The futility of such at
tempts to appraise greatness is equaled
only by the eagerness with which 50
many persons engage in them. The hall
of fame, the hundred best books, the
five-foot shelf-for what follies of dis
cussion have they not been responsible?
The twenty greatest men obviously sug-
gest the twenty greatest women. Two
ladies of eminence the wife of the Presi-
dent and the wife of the senator who
would be President, have recently been
drawn into the futile game of selection,
and the results are sufficiently curious.
These ladies, of course, are no better
qualified than thousands OF others to
pronounce upon so delicate. question
their lists, indeed, suggest that they are
hardly qualified at all. Twenty Is

greatness is adopted. and the utmost dis

THEIR WINTER GARDEN.
How an Old Porch Was Turned Into
a Thing of Beauty,

From Country Life in America
II We were to do it over again, we could
do it better, but even as it is our winter
garden is a joy and delight. When we
built it we did not think of all the things
we wanted, and a good many Of the
things we did think Of we could not afford,
but If We could have afforded it and If
we had thought of it we would have
planned our winter garden better and,
above all. larger.
However. this is just what we did: The
floor of useless porch was torn I'D and
good top soil put in to the depth of about
two feet. The porch was inclosed with
glass sash, and heavy canvas shades on
spring rollers covered the inside, to be
pulled down at night for protection from
the cold. These canvas shades are a
great conservatOr of heat and are strong
ly recommended.
The French doors opened into the din
ing room originally, so no change had to
be made in that respect. and the work
was done by local carpenter
rms is really winter garden not q
greenhouse or a conservatory. There is
no artlhclai neat except on very bitter
snaps, when we place an oil stove or two
to take the edge off the cold; the tenn
perature runs from 30 to 6J all winter.
Mainly the winter garden is full of
eVergreens. We plant daffodils and GRO

We were to do 1t over again we should
either put in a hot water heater or in
some way connect it with the heating
system of the house, so that we could
really have flowers all winter.
One delightful feature is a fountain
which tinkles along night and day, sum
mer ana winter, and is a pleasant sound
to hear through the open doors of the
dining room. In summer the sash comes
down, and the winter garden then be-
comes u charming little summer garden.
We are glad to be able to say we don't

That the public has come to demand this
lavishness is a condition for which the
managers have themselves primarily Ia
blame. 1t is bad business and bad art.
Is il not reasonable to expect that the
public will accept far greater simplicity
In what appeals to the eye SO long as the
other elements of the entertainment, the

Abby.
Recently Lady Abby. the widow of the
late eccentric Sir William Abby, figured,
and not for the first time, in a police
court, where she gave evidence against a
young man whom she had met in train
and whom she asked to supper. with the
result that the young man went off with
diamond ornament of hers, which 1t
has been proved was presented to him
by his hostess. Now just about the time
of the police court incident the very re-
spectacle and proud Lady Abby. wife Of
Sir Anthony Abby, sent out invitations
for ball at her house in LOwnden
Square. one Of the most fashionable dis
tricts in London.
Like most of the London hostesses, this
Lady Abby was compelled to ask her
friends to invite some dancing men. Sew
eral of these young men jumped to the con-
clusion that the other Lady Abby was
giving the dance and declined the invi-
tation. At the last moment announce
ments appeared in the press that Lady
Abby of Lownden Square was the wife
of Sir Anthony. etc, and SO the situa-
ton was partly saved. The ball, how
ever. which was given for Lady Abdy's
youngest daughter, was not the success
it might have been, as many people did
not read the notices so carefully dis
tributed.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LONDON, December 3O.-Lord Francis
Archibald kelmead Douglass of Har-
wick, a lad of sixteen years, who is
now attending a fashionable English
boys school at Harrow, expects shortly
to go to America, where he will enter
an ordinary high school and lead the
| turbulent life of Americas democratic
youth. Lord Douglass is facing the de-
parture with considerable trepidati ton,
and has been spending the Yuletide
holidays gathering voluminous informa-
ton as to what he will be up against"
but his friends here anticipate he will
enjoy the experience.
The Douglass family is one of the
oldest and most famous i'm Scotland
Lord Douglass father is the premier
peer Of that realm, being the ninth
Marquis of Queensberry. His grand
father wrote the rules of pugilism, and
his grandson is proud Of it. The Mar
quis of Queensberry, who is now re-
turning to America to take a permanent
residence there. has persuaded the boy
to JOIN him in Chicago next spring.
The marquis said:
Il didn't urge him, but let him decide
am glad, however, he is coming, as 1t
will keep him from becoming a snob
People mere are ttTeduy beginning u
make him understand who he is, and a
couple of more years might spoil him.
I hope he will eventually decide to do
what l. intend to do, renounce the title
and become an American citizen. but
shall not urge, for when l die he be-
comes a marquis anyway. But titles
are all buncombe, and America has given
me a sQuarer deal than l ever got here.
so 1 want to get the entire family there
as soon as possible.
Lord Douglass Turns Interviewer.
1 met Lord Douglass few days ago
with his father, just after he made the
decision to go to America He Is
large, pink-complexioned youth, with
some assurance Of characteristic young
America. He Immediately interviewed
me, all his questions indicating that he
hopes to go into business and make
money. rather than follow profession.
They play rough foot ball at Harrow
he began, land l understand it is rough
game in America. That's what / like;
the rougher the better. Do you think
American boys will like me? Do You
think could learn base ball? Cricket is
too slow. Do you think 1 might acquire
an American accent like fathers? (Only
a son could trace his father's.) Could get
work my way up, or Is America like Eng
land, without any chances unless you
have got money? It's money I'm after;
that's why I'm going"
The marquis says that the marchioness
agrees to his plans and will probably take
the remainder of the family to America
next summer.

Prices High in Austria.

Some instructing articles in the Vienna
Tageblatt on the prices of foodstuffs i'm
Austria show that the prices of meat and
many other necessaries are much higher
than in any other European country;
that the wages of workmen and officials
are no longer in harmony with the in
creased cost of living. and that without
a revision of the commercial treaties
that is, without an abolition or consider
able reduction in protective duties-the
dearness of provisions cannot be stopped
The Vienna schoolmasters are now de-
claring that they and their families can
not be supported on their present pay
and demand a p per cent increase.
A further proof of the pernicious con-
sequences of the prevailing DEAFNESS of
necessities is furnished by the figures
published by the municipality that the
birth rate of Vienna is steadily decreas-
ing. 1t dropped from $1,000 in 1900 to
1900 in 1910. while at a recent meeting
of the Association of Nurses here the
statement was made that the death rate
among infants is increasing tremendous
ly, as the eXorbitant prices of provisions
make it impossible for many mothers
to feed their children properly.
