DO NOT MAKE THE
TRAINING TOO RIGID.

in training there is another real
danger besides those of complacency
and self consciousness. This is the
danger of rightly, of making laws too
binding. too inevitable. I have always
felt that my children must find me
plastic open to conviction, hospitable
to new ideas. says writer in cur
rent magazine.
People in whose eyes the ethical side
Of things is of supreme Importance
are always In danger of becoming ty
rants both to themselves and to
others. The natural man in us has his
rights. 1t Is a great mistake to be al

should have a right to vote on the
management and direction of the
schools. The fathers of families don't
often give much attention to the edu-
cation of the children. There are some
exceptions to this rule, but the ma
jority of paternals are too busy earn
ing money to support their households
to bestow a great deal of thought on
the way the schools are equipped and
run. The mothers are permitted to
look after the children, in school and
out; and 1t stands to reason thar
when they have any judgment at all
they are in position to know some
thing of the needs of their boys and
girls Of school age. So I would give
the vote to the women in this, because
it is something they ought to compre-

tional opinion about anything,

REPAIRING SICK
FURNITURE AT HOME.

In almost every house there are
pieces of furniture in need of bit of
repairing. Sick furniture, 1T might be
called, but not dangerously so, for as
1t is with human beings so 1t is with
furniture-while there is life there Is
hope. Chairs have been brought back
to a long and useful existence even
when they have had four feet in the
grave. So it behooves us all to think
twice before throwing away apparent
wrecks, says an exchange.
First of all, the frame must be
looked at carefully and strengthened
where necessary. A little strong glue
will often be enough, but the parts
must be held firmly in a wise until
dry. Sometimes it is necessary to put
in a few nails or screws, or little
braces of wood or steel, and sometimes
carpenter has to be called IN to
help. A leg may be missing from a
chair or table which he can supply, or
the back of sofa may be in such
shaky condition that home talent is
not SUFFICIENT to make it strong again
When this work is done, then look to
the finish. All the old shellac can be
carefully scraped off with a scraper,
first softening it with alcohol; or a

MISS WALES AND
HER CLEVER WORK

From time to time poems have ap-
peared in magazines and newspapers
of Pensacola over the signature of
John Anton Wade; poems singularly
full of charm and possessing much
originality.
In the PensacoIian for September
two of these poems appear, and 1t may
add to their interest when II is known
that they are written by Miss Marie
Wales of this city. Miss Wales is a
niece of Mrs. John White and for sew
eral years has made her home with
relatives here. She has spent a great
part of her life in the northwest, and
IT was here that she learned much of
the customs of the Indians, of whom
she quantity writes.
Readers of this department will en-
joy Mary Tamma and On Southern
Veranda, the one with its picture of
the old Indian squaw: the other with
its southern appeal:
Mary Tamma.

An you don't know she's comm until

An you squeal. an p'tend at you

And she wrinkles up her OF brown face
When you ask her, What you want"
And shakes her plaits, with the funny

And she says I'm a little goose.
But Mary Tamna', she laughs and

Patter of hoofs in quiet street,
Velvet darkness of southern night,
Stained glass windows across the way
Kiss Of breeze that is fairly light.
Lifting of leaves in the light sweet
sway
Fit of a beetle across the dusk;
Odors of Araby, blent in one
Achingly sweet as the heavy-sweet
musk.
Liquidly soft -cadenced voices, that
! float
Out of the jasmine-hung shadows
about,
Into the senses, to seem but thought
Silence, and dusk, and a waiting de-
| vout.
A low, soft whistle, a twitter, and then
| The outpoured sweetness of a song
| Eternal as the night, and high,
And holy, and entranced and long.
| Patter of hoofs in a quiet street
Velvet darkness of southern night,
| Stained glass windows across the way
Kiss of breeze that Is fairy light.

WHAT ONE
WOMAN DID.


A woman living in one of the states
on the Pacific coast found herself
obliged to do something to help out On
the family income. Having young
children and housekeeping duties re-
curing attention at home. she was at
loss what to do that would be worth
her while. Then a happy thought
struck her. She fitted up front room
in her house as a showroom where
dolls Of all kinds. artistically dressed
are seen In realistic positions. Some
are in complete street attire of the
latest fashion, some in exquisite even
ing gowns and opera cloaks apparent

and negligee gowns lounging about
the room. Everything is complete to
the smallest detail, every button and
button hole in place. All doll gar
ments are made to be put on and
taken OF, for what child does not love
to button the wee buttons! The dolls
themselves are sold just as they are.
but the really big part of the business
comes in the making and selling of
complete wardrobes, the selling of the
various parts of dolls and in the max
ing over and repairing Of dolls. So
extensive, in fact, is the business that
the woman in question has built up Il
valuable trade-people coming from all
sections of the city to purchase from

Miss Mary Nash, who plays the part
of Wanda Kelly in The Woman" is
scoring a great success In that pro-
duction this season because of her ex-
traordinary realistic acting of a most
difficult role-that of a telephone OPP
orator who throughout the first act
never removes the receiver from her
ear. This fact may appear simple to
the man and woman in the audience,
but those who have had stage ex-
perience know that it is very difficult
to listen intelligently, long and atten-
lively, particularly when the actor has
little or nothing else to do. However,
Miss Nash does it perfectly, thus prov
ing that it isn't impossible for q wom-
an to be a good listener, after all.

A good polish can be made by mixing
