A Topeka girl who sings. and who is
immensely popular, especially with the
male portion of the community, has
choral position in one of the large
churches. Recently she gave a solo,
and as she sang there was feeling in
her voice. and her soul was in her
eyes. The pathway is dark and
am alone, alone-No one to guide me-"
etc, up and down the scale, porta-
mento. pianissimo. and andante. until

really her situation. Meanwhile, look

\ good dea! is being said lately
about the dress of girls in the public
schools, and an effort is being made
to encourage simplicity in the frockS
and coiffures of the students max
ing less glazing the difference between
the habiliments of the poor and those
of the welI-to-do. Lectures have been
made at teachers meetings and to
nearly every class of persons except
the girls themselves who pretty gener-
ally manage to control their own afE
fairs in matters OF appearance. So the
girls so to their grade school com
mencements' with rib%ons and roses
in their artificial puffs, with their
clinging, diaphanous dress-up clothes,
looking like Harrison Fisher frontis-
pieces or as though Nell Brinkley had
dressed them. On the chair next to
one of these candidates for promo
ton to a higher public school, sits the
girls from Mechanicsburg wearing
dress which she holds in fee simple,
since she is the only heir to the
clothes of her older sister. Her dress
looks nome made and cheap, but If
she is sensible. she knows she appears
less a jay than her overdressed school
mate. In some of the schools in the
east, the vanities are being discarded
by a ruling of the superintendent,
and a simple uniform being insisted
upon.
