Smattering Ambitions
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

- ORTUNATELY for the child start
IT ing to school, there is only one
way for the beginning of all
knowledge.
After it has mastered the founda-
ton, and reached, alas, the precocious
age when it has also mastered its par
ents, there are many branches on the
path to learning, and the studies are
as numerous and varied as the de-
slres of the most capricious student,
If the child is a boy he has no desire
for any of the superficial trimmings.
1t is hard enough, he argues, to learn
what one really needs and get
through Why add lot of foolish eX-
tras a fellow never needs in earning
his living?
With the girl it is different, and it
is the girl we are interested in in this
article. We will call her Angelica, that
being the sort Of a name she would
have given herself at this stage of her
life had she been in position to do her
own christening
Angelica knows little spelling. She
does not murder the Kings English in
the shameless manner of a law defying
highwayman, though she frequently
and unwittingly stabs him to death in
some unfrequented alley of speech She
knows the capitals of most of the
states, and at one time knew how to
order paper for a room with the wall
thrown in.
She has begun to wear her hair high
err and her skirts lower at this period
of her brain development, and with the
knowledge that she is no longer a child
comes the desire to add a few foolish
mental trimmings. Her parents, blind
ly proud, give her the reins. and the
result is a smattering of what they
proudly call Accomplishment" that
drain the fathers purse and strain the
friendship of all who know the family.
She takes just enough lessons in in
strumental music to become nuisance.
She studies singing just long enough
to confirm her opinion that she has a
voice. She paints just enough to per-
petrate results that are most hideous,
and she Carves, pounds brass, burns
wood and embroiders, and attempts the
thousand and one kinds of foolishness
that at their best are usually only
mediocre, and daughters work"

the dining room cabinet and overfows

And all at a cost of one single line

acquired working knowledge whereby
she might have earned her living.

Edison Thought First of Kineto-
phone.

When Edison returned to his lab
arotory recently after several weeks
of illness, his first question of Mr..
Meadowcroft, his personal assistant,
was concerning the progress Of the
Talking Pictures. When told of the
excellent new records and films that
had been made during his illness,
he was delighted.
Like all inventors he Is most ear
nestly interested in his latest ach-
ievcment He has spent eighteen
and twenty hours day working at
the minor details of the kineto-
phone, slowly and painstakingly
perfecting the delicate contriyances
which make possible the union of
pictures and voices
The success of the Talking Pic
lures in the leading cities of the
country have been little short of
phenomenal Everywhere they are
PLAYED to crowded houses and the
interest which they have aroused
more than justifies the predictions
of the inventor.
