Ry MYRTLE MILES

There are many silly people in this
silly world remarked thoughtful pa
tron, "but I think the silliest Of all is
the overdressed woman. Tt Is the increase
in wealth, maybe. that has so filled the
world with overdressed women, but one
meets them everywhere. AS a rule they
are not beautiful or clever, or even young.
They are a tribe by themselves, and
they are sometimes hardly human. They
think Of nothing but clothes They talk
of nothing but clothes; they live for
nothing but clothes. They have no per-
sonality apart from their clothes. They
expect you to worship them for the sake
of their clothes. They believe in their
own glory so thoroughly that they cannot
imagine the possibility of your being bored
by it. They are so firmly convinced that
their sarb is superbly superior that it
is useless to approach them unless you are
humble. They exist only TO be admired,
and if you do not admire them they
wither you with contempt"
/ wonder who had been boring her with
an excess of clothes talk. Birmingham
women are singularly free from the habit
of overdressing which she describes as
almost vice. [ can think of only a few
who might be possessed with the delusion
that charm can be bought in shop, and
that the latest folly in feathers is the
last word of fascination. think that with
these, envy is four-fifths of femininity
in the atmosphere inhabitated by over
dressed women. Tt is doubtful whether
the oyerdressed woman cares straw for
the opinion of men. As a rule, men are
not interested in the vagaries of miliners
and dressmakers. They are more for the
women in the clothes than for the clothes
on the woman. So the overdressed woman
does not overdress in order to please men.
She overdresses in order to displease
women.
Perhaps one reason they are so few
here is that much effort Is required in the
task, and Birmingham women are too
busy with more serious matters than
clothes. The bright brains of Paris and
of London and of New York are ever
busy inventing some folly for tomorrow
10 kill the folly of today. No woman, un-
less she is watching every moment, can
ever be quite sure that her frock is the
right color or that her bag is the right
shape. / sometimes wonder who carries
all the old bags. Vt is an absolute mys-
terry like the destiny of the dead donkey
the bent hairpin and the blunt razor
blade.
| told the lady who complains of the
Stiffness of the overdressed woman that
it must be Christening to her to remem-

THAT wasn't difficult for me-" said
she, because l had made up my mind
to study with Theodore Hoeck. He was
a pupil of II, and one of the finest
teachers 1 have ever seen. He isn't
known as spectacularly as many 9TH
ers, because he is very modest and dis
likes advertising more than anybody
ever saw, but his pupils stand for his
wonderful ability and his perfection
as piano teacher. He has several rep

Didn't you find it very charming at
tending all the symphonies, and concerts
and lectures, and the many things of that
sort in New York, which every student
longs for?" I asked.
"Oh, yes," said Miss Palmer, | went
to great many of the fine concerts and
Mr.. Hoeck insisted upon my attendance

he laid more stress IN these concerts
than he did on the opera. Stranksy as
you know, was the leader of the Philhar-
monte last year. and I was very much

Aside from the great artists heard, one
of the pleasantest features of my two

lectures l heard by great scientists, phi

free lectures at the Museum of Natural
History, at Columbia university, and
other places makes it possible for stu

little or no expenditure of money. Then,
too, the churches are almost an education
