WOMAN SHOULD EXTEND HER MOTHER
LOVE OVER FAMILY OF THE NATION

sphere, for advocates OF greater femi-
nine freedom among nations where wom-
en- are even the most backward In prog
ress are joining the West In the mod
ern idea OF her cooperation
It Is just as absurd for the skeptio
to argue that the activity In te sphere
Of the state will mean neglect OF her
homo as II would be for one to say that
the woman who is interested in the
welfare Of every little child in the
world negiects her own immediate
family.
It has been proven BY actual facts
that tho best mothers 10 their own are
those women who not only love all chill
dren. but who actually work for the
welfare Of the little tots who come into
the world without the ghost OF q chance
in their own homes unless some out
slider helps.
One and the Same.
Show me the mother who feels spite
ful toward other children because her
own have either physical or mental de-
fects and I'll show you the woman
who ts incapable Of being = real mother
to any child. They are one and the
same
Capacity for love grows with love. Ca
pacity for service guows with service
The woman who centers all her affec-
ton on her own family soon loses the
capacity to love others. The woman who
serves only her own household loses the
for a broader service.
The more q woman gives OF her ma
ternity. OF her protective tenderness. OF
her service to her neighbors, to her
friends to the little children of other
women, and to the family of the ma
ton the broader grows her capacity for
giving.
It Is because we know the truth Of
this that We answer those who claim
that woman will neglect her home when
she takes an active interest IN the af-
fairs of state that what they say Is |
all born OF narrow prejudice. the tradi- |
tons Of days that are dead. |

The most quietly distinguished parasol
Of the season Is the model Of dark satin.
lined with a contrasting color. These
parasols are much fancied by French
mondaines who avoid tho sensational ef-
fects exploited at the races and wear
lovely colors and dress IN exquisite
taste.
Black satin parasols with Innings Of
cerise or royal blue or emerald green are
carried with chic black frocks bearing a

parasols lined with violet. and purple

SERVING MEALS OUT

The fashion of eating out Of doors is
becoming more popular. This demands
that the modern hostess should rise to

The meal eaten .out OF doors should
be partaken of in comfort. There is
no excuse for tepid coffee or lukewarm

FLOUNCES OF LOVELY
OLD LACE AND TULLE

The very latest feature is the founced
skirt, preferably OF old lace or embroid-
cred tulle. To meet the demand for these
filmy founced gowns, those who deal in
''dentelles" are advancing every con-
ceivable form OF embroidered net. There
is one with a vandyked edge that makes
up delightfully."-, and another is closely
covered with a scroll design.
Those who are happily possessed OF a
store Of lace are adjured to dive quickly
into their resources. for there has been
nothing like the demand that now pre-
walls for years. Modistes are obsessed
by the decorative attractions of lace.
no piece Is too small nor yet too long
to be turned TO account by them. and
they bring forth every Establishment to
induce the possessors of rare treasures
to let them have the handling Of these
heirlooms.

| She will fulill this natural supposition
that she will extend her wonderful ma
ternity over the nations of the world a.
soon as she is given voice in affairs
of state, for It is woman's nature to
mother everything, beginning in the
cradle with dolls and ending at the
grave with her children's children.
The Real Mother.
The woman who fails to mother her
husband does not make a success Of mar
riage. It is this protective tenderness
(flled with an intuition that is some
times almost uncanny) brooding over her
home, caring for the creature comforts
OF her husband. and every tiniest want
Of her children that has lifted woman
to fame in all these centuries.
The real mother is interested not alone
in the happiness and success Of her own
children, but in the welfare OF all chill
dren. because childhood is the begin
ming of life and life is universal
And when she takes the nation be-
meath her protective care. ''mothering
the great public family" skept!cs who
have opposed her entrance into politics
Will wonder why she was relegated to
the narrow circle Of the fireside through
50 many centuries, when cooperation
with man in the management of the great
family polite would have been a tre-
mendous help to him in solving the ma
tons problems, and righting political
injustice.
In clinging so tenaciously to tradi-
tons OF long gone yesteryears concern
ing woman's sphere, and believing In her
limited purpose in life, 1t would seem
to one who thinks the matter over with
candor that the masculine element Of
the human race has stood in his own
light.
God made woman to be his helpmeet
and failed to designate that she should
help him In but one limited sphere. Re
fusing her aid where her instincts and
natural gifts and graces would serve
that increasing purpose which surely
runs through Gods whole creation"
would seem even to the most dsnter-
ested onlooker, the most foolhardy
course that man could choose to run.
Idea Grows More AppealinE.
The idea OF the extension of woman's
and homeloving attributes Of
character to q complete cooperation
with man in the building Of the house
Of state appeals more and more daily to
the thinking public for the very rea-
sons cited by the Maharani OF Baroda

The greatest conquest we make in life
is the conquest OF. the commonplace.
Do not have commonplace curtains in
your new house, and II you have a cozy
little bungalow in the country, dress the
windows with the daintiest sash curtains
you can possibly make.
By sash curtains mean the little half
curtains that cover the lower sash of
your windows and are suspended by a
brass rod or a wooden lath.
Fresh looking little curtains are made
of white book muslin. At the top is a
broad hem having a casing at its base
through which the rod passes, and d.
rectly under this is sewed a strip Of
wide lace insertion. This is also used
Just above the hem at the bottom
Almost unlimited are the designs you
can produce II you are fond Of crochet
ing.
A simple but delightfully."- dainty set
Of curtains may be made of plain or
narrow barred swiss with a wide hem
run in the bottom and coarse crocheted
lace at the top. Choose a lace pattern
that has points on one side, and at the
end OF each sew a little brass ring that
will slip easily over the rod.
Wash SILK Splendid.
Wash silk is splendid for sash cur
tains. Choose only plain light colors and
white. and trim them with either points
OF crocheted lace or lace insertions.
These can be made rather elaborate, IL
you wish, by satting In medallions of
lace along the lower border or wide
hem.
Crocheted medallions having the Irish
lace patterns, but done with rather
coarse thread. are most effective. Apply
them to the silk with small stitches,
cutting away the silk under the lace,
and turn back the raw edges, hsmming
lt neatly on the wrong side.

Although very few per cent of the dogs

A dog actually suffering from rabies

New York, Nov. 20.-Dr. Alexis
Carrel, the winner of the Noble prize
of $4,000 for discoveries in medi-
cine and surgery, has been busy the
past week at the meeting of physi-
clans and surgeons from all e. the
world. He is connected with the
Rockefeller institute, is Of French
birth and is thirty-nine years old.
He was graduated from the Univer-
sity Of Lyons and Immediately took
up original research work involving
laboratory experimentation similar to
that for which he was awarded the
Nobel prize. His work as an original
Investigator became widely known in
scientific circles by the announcement
that he had interchanged the main
artery and jugular vein OF a man
with no deleterious results. AS a
climax, he told of having grated the
leg of a dead fox terrier on to the
body of a living animal of the same
variety. In June of this year a warm
controversy was started among lead
ing scientists in Paris by DR.. Carrel's
assertion that he had kept portions
Of animols' hearts alive for months
while immersed in a special antisep-
tic solution and hat these portions
after a short time surrounded them
selves with new cells and grew to
more than sixty times their original
size.

SCHOOLS FOR
USE OF PUBLIC
Assistant State Commission
er Gives His Opinion.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

t"N ~ ~
Trenton, Nov. 21-Assistant State
Commissioner of Education j. Brog-
nard Belts has handed down his
written opinion on which was based
his decision in the case of Fred
Klein, and another, against the
Board of Education of Jersey City,
in which he held hat public school
buildings should be used for other
purposes than for the school SEES
sions. The compliments charge that
the Jersey City School Board acted
illegally when it permitted the high
school auditorium to be used for
other than school purposes. The eff
feet of the decision of Mr.. Belts is to
dismiss the appeal of the complain
ants.
Assistant Commissioner Belts
shows hat the school law gives to a
Board of Education power to permit
O schoolhouse to be used for other
than school purposes, but he says a
Board of Education must use reason
able discretion in the exercise of this
power. Much interest has been
manifested in the East because of the
agitation in favor of social center
work in the school buildings and be-
cause the Democratic State platform
declares in favor of the use of school
houses and public buildings for poll
teal and other neighborhood and
public meetings, as well as for cleo
tons, under proper local regulations.
