London.-"No man. however good

This pearl of wisdom fell from the
lips of Miss Cox Of Birmingham at
the conference OF Head Teachers of
Stoke. She moved resolution assert
ing that mixed schools and combined
departments under the charge of a
headmaster are not conducive to the
best training Of girls.
"The decreasing proportion Of wom-
en- teachers who can become mistress
ca of girls schools is," she said, "very
discouraging to the large body OF wom-
en-, who, by sex, ability. training and
qualifications, are best fitted to take
charge Of girls. Something should be
done whereby women teachers should
have Justice. think the time has
come when the women should stand

that men should have the training Of

that would have crushed most rulers.
Yet he performed 1t with a skill that
stamped him as the subtlest and ablest

ers grown jealous. They interfered;

nearly all the fruits of her victory. Al
ready the sultan was beginning to
show his rare statesmanlike quail
ties. 8.i ak
In the peace treaty Abdul made
many fine promises. He kept none OF
them, and he so fooled the European
powers that he Stffered no penalty
from his breach OF faith. He choked
the voice Of liberty, silenced the
Young Turks: by force and made
himself sole master of his empire. By
playing one patton against another and
by owing some of them huge debts

kept. the world at large from interfer-'

European nation lifted a finger to

But tyranny has always wrought its
own destruction. While Europe. bound
hand and foot by the web Of Abdul
Hamid's willy diplomacy. took no step
to check his crimes, his own people at
length rose against him. The Young
Turks" grew too strong to be put
down. There was an almost bloodless
revolution in 1908. Abdul was de-
posed in April. 1909, and was sent to
salonica as state prisoner. His
younger brother, Mehmed, or Moham-
ed, was taken from q prison palace
where Abdul had confined him, and
was placed upon the Turkish throne.

IS THIS SECRET oFYOUTH?
The Odd Theory of Lady de Bath, Who Says Surrounding Yourself With Bright, Sympathetic
 Colors VIII Keep You PerpetuaLy Young.

Old age after all, is your own fault. Of course you cannot help the added years, bat you can help thinking that you are old. Such thoughts are bound to have their effect on the body, as well as the mind and if you keep thinking how old age leaves its telltale marks it won't be long before those marks which before existed only in the thoughts, will have a real existence in lines and wrinkles in the face. Then, as do most women who have actually thought" themselves into old age, you will place the blame on nature. instead of taking it to yourself, where it rightfully be- longs.
 Now, if American women will only obey this rule of living and thinking in color, and give up their most pernicious habit of worry, and at the same time keep in the open air as much as possible I am sure that old age will be put off for so long thcre will really be no need to think about it.
 But if the women of America have already

discovered part of my secret of youth, the men-O dear .--how can you men wear such drab colors?
 In England the men are fast discarding the somber garb that is certain to find it's reflex il the nature of the wearer. The Englishman ;s ceasng to look like an undertaken, and is going in for colors- bright scarves fancy waistcoats, and the like Bright houghts, bright colors, bright looks-that's the way to keep young.
 If the men of today would go in bit more for the clothes of the time of Louis the Grand mot necessarily so extreme as silk brooches, but the colors mean-and would learn that worry is thing to avoid as old age itself, then there would soon pc an age of youth in which we all might rejoice.
 If were to formulate in a paragraph my advice to men, I would say: .
 Stick feather in your hat, wear gay coats and plum colorcd trousers, live in color, think in color-and, above all, don't worry.

 The women of America are the proof of the color portion of my formula. They have found the secret of youth, if they would but cease 10 worry. Even gay colors will not keep away the marks of old age if you worry. You have to take all the " medicine" you see, if you would expect complete "cure"

Because Debutantes Now Insist Their "Beauty Sleep'Bu They Won't Get te Habit Chicago

introduced the powdered coifure at these dances, but this custom has not become sen- eral, because tie powdered hair, while attract i've, has many disadvantages.
 According to Chicago society women, tho afternoon dance is not liable to become pop ular in local society circles. Most of the de- sirable Chicago men, contrary to the foreign men, are engaged with business duties during the day, and there are not enough idle rich men to make an afternoon dance an enjoyable function. American men have numerous re- responsibilities and have various other things that must be done that prove more important than afternoon dances
 But afternoon teas and receptions have gained favor in Chicago, and they are attended by the masculine members of the social set, too so perhaps, after all, the afternoon dance will be among the numerous functions for the seasons debutantes.

 Until the afternoon dance was introduced, the average dancing party never began until 10 or II o'clock.
