TAKE COLLEGE TO PEOPLE
Normal Schools Of Wisconsin Offers
Two Years Course at Low Cost

Madison, Wis, March 2.-That the
normal schools of this State have by
offering two years of college work in
their courses brought college educa-
ton much nearer to the homes of the
people is the contention of the Board
of Normal Regents in a report just
issued which details their plans. II
will also make higher education less
costly through smaller travelling ex-
penses and lower cost of living at the
schools.
Living expenses in normal school
towns are relatively low" the report
says. The expenses incident to
school life are low. The normal
schools cultivate a democratic social
atmosphere and do not countenance
forms Of social pleasure which are
expensive and from which on that &C
count many students would be bar
red. BY reducing the cost OF the first
two years of a college course the nor.
NAL schools make IL possible for many
aspiring young people to crafty their
ambition for a college preparation for
life's work.
Summer sessions are maintained al
each of the eight normal schools and
also at Eau Claire and Oconto.

The Saturday Evening Post has az

This feature started few years ago

Ryraro-s buoyancy had returned in

Suddenly the melody ceased, and a
young Bretonne girl appeared in the
doorway, courtesying to me and saying
in perfect English: How do you do

The girl was Mademoiselle Sylvia

WELCOME COMING OF LOCUST
Sudanese Consider Insects, Elsewhere
Regarded as Pests, as Most
Palatable Food.

The latest advices from Khartum,
in the Sudan. state that the usual
bitches have been dug in all direc-
tons In anticipation of the summer
rains, which, however, have as yet
not put in an appearance. In the
meantime these bitches are having
their uses, for a plague of locusts
has set in. Immense swarms have
for days been passing over the city.
Locusts of course do a vast amount
of damage to the fields. They null
tiply most rapidly and wherever they
settle they devour every vestige Of
green and leave the land bare. Tho
Sudanese are waging a vigorous cam
paign against them and their zeal is
whetted by the fact that locusts con-
stitute for them very palatable dish.
These insects are usually caught by
the Cyprus system" which consists
in digging trenches and erecting on
their farther side tin screens against
which they dash and kill themselves.

TT seems that designers who en-
deavor to prepare styles which they
hope will become fashions, have
worked along the most Independent
lines. There is no apparent uniform
fly of ideas in the construction of cos
tunes, except the general approval
given to narrow skirts and big waists.
Accept these two features, look to the
Orient for inspiration, and you may
evolve styles to suit yourself. There
is no hint to variety and eccentricity.
The Turkish pantaloon skirt Of
heavy and supple black satin which is
shown here is an approved model 1t
is a picturesque but not graceful
garment, made to hang about a slim
figure. And it takes slimness to the
point of attenuation to wear drapery
on these lines, with any success But
the idea of the pantaloon as suggest
ed here brought in variety of skirts
with drapery arranged at the sides in
this fashion.
In the majority of similar skirts
less material is used, and in a simpler
arrangement. The front is plain and
there is no need of the lace under
f1ounce at the bottom. Wide fabrics
are cut in such a way that the skirt
is narrow at the bottom, draped in
hanging folds about the hips, and
finished with a plain panel at the
back. This Interpretation of the
pantaloon skirt is more pleasing, more
simple and far more popular than the
original development, which came
from the Cabot salon and which is
pictured in the illustration.
The little Turkish jacket worn with
the skirt is IN blue velvet. 1t is a

Novel Tunics. @

The salient feature of the new
modes is the extending tunic between
hips and knee, which accentuates the
modern slimness of figure. This tunic
is not of distinct color from the rest
of the dress. Some of the tunics dip
down at the back, and sometimes form
two box plaits in front which natural
ly add to the size Of the waist line.
Flowers and butterfly bows Oh even
ing dresses tend to extend this size.
Cross-cut folds are brought upward
from back to front, ending in a bow
at the back of the waist.
