KIMONO NECESSARY
FOR THE SCHOOLGIRL

Among the garments considered neces-
sary to the boarding school wardrobe,
the kimono seems to play a very minor
part indeed. yet for a girl 10 leave home
for several months unprovided with this
sort of negligee is sheerest folly. Neither
the heavy wooden bath robe nor the
fancy thin matinee will precisely take
the place of the simple kimono in plain
or flowered ,challie. striped wash silk or
fine cashmere.
Prettiest among the new models. is the
kimoro having set-in three-quarter
sleeve and a widely turned over collar
that extends TO the tops of the should
ers. A narrow band OF buttonhoIe mus
lin embroidery insertion borders this
collar, outlines the srm-eyes and simu-
lates an empire yoke at the back and
front. The narrow ribbons through this
bUttonholing run to blind ends on the
collar and the arm-eyes, but on the yoke
tie with ends and loops directly across
the bust.
Bordered foulards, which at this sea-
son are reduced far below cost price,
make pretty kimonos of the regulation
sort, having cut-in-one sleeves. v necks
and band collars that merge into finish
ings for the entire front edges. A kimono
Cf this sort always looks better and
hangs better II its seem is at the, center
Of the back and almost any Of the bor-
dered fabrics are wide enough to be
treated in that way.

the great diflculties-we expect too much.

Generally speaking. the time to fnd
out is in the days OF childhood while
training is going on. As our schols run
at present. that is almost impossible,
for there are too many little folk around
for one teacher to study their natural
inclinations. But perhaps in the home.
And II II is possible to find out where a
childs interest really lays, where his
best capabilities tend and then to help
carry him along the most natural and
the pleasantest way. 1t is a pretty rne
start toward the serious activities Of life.
For when work and natural leanings
go hand in hand, monotony, grind and
drudgery lose all their dreary signifi-

MANY USES FOR
JAPANESE TOWELNG
Strips Fagotted Together Make Most
Attractive Couch
Covers,

japanese toweling can be put to many
interesting uses; 1t is cheap. artistic in
design and easy to launder, so II ought
to be popular.
The most usual way to make use OF
II Is to make IL into runners for the
breakfast and luncheon table. These
are strips long enough to go through
the center OF the table, from end to end.
and across 1t at intervals, so that each
end of each runner is hemstitched, hem
med or featherstitched.
Instead of runners, doilies can be made
of this toweling. Make them square. and
hemstitch them on two sides. Napkins
for use with runners can be made in
the same way. They are attractive and
easy to launder. and save wear and tear
or more expensive damask.
Runners for sideboard and serving
table of this toweling are attractive for
use in the summer cottage or in the
simple diningroom furnished in blue.
They can be finished like the table rum
ners.
Toweling can also be made into very
decorative curtains. These can be hem
stitched and the end which hangs free,
and hemmed to go over brass rods. II a
valance is desired II can be made of a
strip of toweling running lengthwise
across the top of the window. This sort
of valance will not need hemstitching
and scanning. as one made of sections of
the toweling up and down would.
Attractive couch covers are made of
several lengthwise strips of the toweling
fagotted together with dark blue, IL the
design is blue, as 1t usually is. For
use on a couch covered in this way.
cushions can also be covered with the
toweIing. Two strips of the toweling.
fagotted together. are used for a cushion
slip cover.

They were clever, cultivated, and kindly
women, simply aglow with patriotism;
and to read what they did and how they

many ways vastly superior. In resource

Staff Gen. Leonard Wood, complete plans
for the series of war maneuvers to be
held here next week by the 5000 cavalry
men on their way here from Winchester,

turn of the absent officers and the arrival
of the troopers here.
According to the tentative plan of the
War Department. the troopers will arrive
here Friday morning and immediately
will proceed to Fort Myer, where they
will go into camp. II has been definitely
settled. however, that they will remain
here about a week, and that the Presi-

view them either next Monday or Tues
day.
Tonight the troopers will camp near
Leesburg. Va. and tomorrow night they
will camp at a place not yet selected, but
within easy marching distance of the
National Capital. There has been no dis
position on the part OF the War Depart
ment TO hurry the march. and the only
positive orders that have been issued is
that the commanding officers should time
the march so as to arrive Friday regard

NAVY ASKED TO PAY.
Denartmenr ought TO Make Good
Damage Done by Sailors.

Bruce Rogers, of Seattle, WHO is anil
ated with the Socialists. called on Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels yesterday in
connection with the damage done by
mobs in Seattle last summer, in whieh
enlisted men of the navy took part. The
damage to property amounts to S.50O, and
the City Council has refused to pay the
bill.
Mr.. Rogers indicated a belief that the
Navy Department ought to reimburse the
property owners, inasmuch as it was
known that men of the navy were men,
bers of the mobs that did the damage.
From this viewpoint Secretary Daniels
vigorously dissented and refused to con-
slider such a suggestion. Senator Poin-
dexter has introduced bill in Congress
to the same purpose.

A Sorry Misht.

Calling to mind some of the sorry mis-
fits known. thoughts always go drifting
back to a great, listless Apollo, who by
some fateful mishap-quite likely the
fault of his parents who dreamed great
dreams for him-blundered into the min
istry. For two weary years he tried TO
utter impassioned words, tried to in
spire his parishioners when he had not
a trace of enthusiasm himself. and knew
no more Of the spirit of the work than
sturdy. untaught blacksmith. The
weeks Just dragged along. with never
a hint of useful work, never a word that
merited a cordial response. and with all
his church folk praying for release. he
perhaps the most earnestly of all.
At last, when the grind became too
strong for endurance and when he really
acknowledged himself a failure and a
discredit to the ministry, he quietly pack
ed his belongings and as quietly stole
away. And the secret Of his where
abouts went with him. for he left not
a word: but those who had known him
fondly hoped that he came into his own
in some field OF physical activity.
But that tragedy never would have
come about If there had been discern
ing someone standing guard over his
childhood, watching and noting the way
he was inclined and trying to bring out
his best possibilities.

Necessity Too often Crowds.

Many times young men and women
and. alas! boys and girls-are driv-
en- into accepting the first opening that
comes, because of the immediate need
of money; and, at the time, when ne
cessity is crowding upon them, they
shoulder the unwelcome task, grit their
teeth and plod along the best that they
can. Perhaps the time never comes
when the way is opened to a pursuit
more to their liking or more to their
native bent and they worry along to
the end of their days, counted just fail
ures when they are nothing worse than
misfits.
And that is not all, for many times
more young folk who are more or less
free TO make a choice follow the lure
of the Professions or other so-called dig
nified pursuits, when they have nothing
in the world upon which to base their
longing but the feeble skeleton of pride.
And. Of course, they fail. for when they
go against whisperings of nature, with
out any real enthusiasm for their work.
they cannot expect many laurels. For
unless interest is the keynote to work
interest born of fitness. it cannot pass
the narrow bounds of drudgery, and
commonplace drudgery at that. Yet

by FRANCES sHAFFER.

When we see, as too often we do. men
and women chained to work that for
them is no more than drudgery, work
that inspires not a particle of enthusi-
asm and for which they betray no ves-
tige of fitness, We always wonder why
and why they drifted that way.
Because there are not many so badly
defrauded by nature that minds OF
hands have no peculiar bent toward
something that If worked upon and de-
veloped might call forth a slumbering
song. Generally there is natural ability
to perform some particular service easier
and more tunefully than all else, and II
lis not far from a tragedy when that
ability lies neglected, almost unguessed
while the weary worker is forced along
a pathway that nature never meant MIN
to follow.
And the worst pity is that when the
mind and the heart have no real. in
terested. loving part in the task, with
just the hands and the body to con-
tinue their wearisome rounds, the result
is more or less of a failure.
