erected. Fifteen hundred dollars is the
largest amount allowed toward q

The school thus aided must teach
agriculture, manual training and home

the teachers employed, and have the
approval Of the state superintendent of

TAKING CARE OF

Every woman possessing handsome

1t is not good plan to wear rings set
with expensive stones while dong any
sort of houSework, the settings are likely
to be knocked and the tiny clasps opened
then the stones slip out and woeful
time follows their loss Gloves also are
very hard on rings; they pull the jewel
out of its setting quite Unexpectedly: a
remedy is to turn the setting to the in
side of the finger, but, better suil, to
carry handsome rings in chanois

and put them on when needed.

GROWN-UP STYLES
FOR LITTLE GIRLS

Unfortunately in many instances the
quaint and distinctly girlish styles are
being abandoned. for girls and young la
dies of four and five, as we'll as their
somewhat bigger sisters of fifteen and
sixteen, are often to be found decked in
clothing that is a copy of the prevailing
modes intended for their mothers. Even
the very exclusive 9TH avenue shops are
beginning to cater to this vogue. and in
consequence. except for the size of the
garments. many of those that are eX-
hibited in the childrens departments
might be thought to have been designed
for older women.
One thing which the young girls are
keeping from the days of their distinc-
tive styles is the straight one-piece frock,
usually buttoning down the front. This
sensible dress is ideal for school wear.

Latest Velvet Shoes.

In house and evening shoes there are
the most exquisite things.
Louis XIV and Louis XIV models lead
the way, with heels SO high that it is
dangerous to make a brusque movement.
They must be in exactly the same ma
terial as the dress with which tfey are
worn, and they must have exquisite
buckles or buttons in fine silver, paste or
enamel. with ones monogram on them,

incomes cannot do this sort of thing to
any extent, but they can follow mod

give some attention to the detail OF hav-

HEALTH REPORT.

DR.. Hoyt, superintendent of the
State Board of Health, shows in his
report for December that the cases of
contagious diseases reported for the
month were: Scarlet fever, 80; diph-
iberia, GA; measles, SO; smallpox, 81;
.infantile paralysis, 5. The deaths
from these cases were four from diph-
liberia, one each from smallpox and
measles. The deaths are about 2 per
cent of the cases, as against s per
cent in the November report. Dr..
Hoyt holds that the cases Of such
diseases a be materially reduced in
the state, and that at least two-thirds
entirely prevented by early reports of
such diseases and proper quarantine
carried nj whenever a case makes its
appearance.

ANNUAL PRAISE MEETING.

As announced, the twenty-Second an
nual praise meeting of the Womans
Missionary Society of the First Pres
byterian church, was held at the home
Of Mrs. Fishback Friday, January 81.
About - ladies' were present. First
in order on the program was music
and responsive reading, Mrs. Robin
son presiding, and Mrs. Powers accom-
PIANIST for the singing, after which
Mrs. Brigham entertained the ladies
by giving a talk on Japan. Mrs. Brig
ham, having served five years in
Japan, was fully ~conversant with her
subject and she presented it in a way
that was pleasing and instructive from
first to last, including the ocean voy-
age in winter across the Pacific TO
Yokohama, and from there TO Hako-
date along the coast in a Japanese
boat. She described the scenery
and climate in winter and what it is
in summer. and touched upon every
phase of life in Japan or of Japa-
n5se life, religious, domestic, educa-
tional and others, of the self-sacrifc.
ing lives Of missionary workers, both
men and women. And surely there is
need of it. Every American woman
ought to be thankful in her innermost
heart that she lives in a country like
ours, although she may sometimes feel
that she is dOwntrodden and a slave.
If so ponder on the life of a patient
and submissive little Japanese woman.
Mrs. Brigham had a table Of Japa-
nose articles both useful and orna-
mental that she exhibited, as we'll as
a lady's complete costume that she ex-
hibited TO good advantage by putting
it on Mrs. Erwin, making her the
image OF a tiny Japanese woman.
Miss Muriel Sherwin sang a Japa-
nese song, and while we did not under
stand a word, We thought the music
very sweet. Miss Sherwin and Van
Fishback rendered several instru-
mental pieces that were much anpre-
ciated. Dainty and appropriate re-
freshments were served by three
maids in Japanese costume, Miss
Eaton from Rochester, Mimi, Miss
Krete Kendall and Miss Helen Robin
son. And as if in accord with all
other of the afternoon, the
collection taken was $3.50. Verify.
this twenty-second praise meeting was
a very pleasant and profitable func-
ton. & =
