Bernard Shaw has stated more than
once that he is INSPIRED Il am
pushed" he says. "by natural need
to set to work to write down CONVEX
sations that come into my head unac-
countably. At first hardly know the
speakers and cannot find names for

more familiar, and learn their names.

Other writers and painters, too. have
described their processes In a similar
way. william Blake was positive and
emphatic in describing himself as a
mere amanuensis. writing down the
words that were audibly spoken to
him, and he painted In the same way
from a model set before his eyes and
visible to him alone. Rodin, the
French sculptor, gave his assent to the
same idea of models visible to the eye
Of the artist Dickens said that his
characters were actually visible and
audible to him. and 1t will be remem-

The Perfect Woman

New York Tribune: Paint your
cheeks from the inside.
Learn to do some one thing as well
as it can be done.
Learn to make good cup of coffee.
Be truly hOSpitable.
Do not wait until John is rich.
Be unselfish with your servants.
Take an interest in civic matters.
These are the seven rules for the
perfect upbringing Of a girl, as laid
down by DR.. Angenette Perry recently
at the meeting of the New York City
Mothers Club at the Hotel Astor.
"rhe first thing young girl should
he taught is common sense in dress y
Or. Perry said. "MOdern fashions are
unhygienic. Think of the way girls
20 about in cold weather like this.
with their chests absolutely barrel
once heard nice young man CRITICS.
ing this, and the girl said Why
shouldn't wear it so? It's the fash
ion Well said the young man, its
a very silly fashion,
Girls" continued Dr. Perry, "must
no excuse. They must value Their
health above the most fascinating fash
ions. Internal hygiene is more impOr-
tant than external. Paint your cheeks
as red as you wish. girls-but paint
them from the inside.
"The second lesson in educating a
@irl is to teach her some occupation
that has money value. Then if she
marries and is left a widow with little
children To support. she earns their
respect. as well as her own, by being
Independent Of the charity Of relatives.
~ girl must have certain knOWl-
edge of domestic science, too. | have
heard girls boast they couldn't make
even a decent cup Of coffee. That is
nothing to be proud of. A trained
capable mind is able to cope with the
coffee pot problems. even if it hasn't
had any wide experience in the kitchen.
a girl will study her mothers ways,
with the idea Of adopting all Of them,
only to learn better ones through ex-
perienceS of her own.
THE next thing to teach girl is the
real meaning Of hOSpitality-that it is
not a parade of fine linen and silver.
These are very nice to have. We all
want them, but they are merely the
husks Of true hospitality. Never feel
that you can't have company unless you
make elaborate arrangements. Friend
ships value is in the interchange of
thought, not in the variety of fancy
dishes your friend feeds you. You can
entertain as graci0uSly at tea as the
millionaire at banquet.
THE fifth lesson for girls is that a
large income IS not necessary for we'd
ded bliss. A group Of school girls
were asked recently to make an eSti-
mate Of the cost Of living. Most OF
them Mortified their teacher by putting
down $4,000 as the income needed to
support a family comfortably. If our
girls are going to put off the beautiful
fellowship Of man and woman until
the man has attained that terrible in
come the outlook is indeed pitiful
"A girl must understand her reIa-
ton to- her servants, and to all work
ing classes. If this were done much
blOOdShed would be avoided in these
strikes and class conflicts. Let the
girl get acquainted with the lives and
problems Of the poor by teaching a
class in a settlement, but let her re-
alize her obligation to that class. She
can't go to a dance on the night those
little girls are expecting to have their
lesson.
1.-The last Of the seven lessons is the

Separate Goats Of SILK

Separate Goals of silk and satin,
trimmed with reverS of Dresden silk
or cretonne, are to be among the very
smart Independent fashions of spring
and summer. Usually the satin is
black or a very dark blue. The rev
ers are very long, narrowing away to
nothing below the waistlne, and cuffs
are deep, pointing elbowward at the
back.
A great deal is heard about The
Russian blouse. and indeed many WO-
men have been attempting it, but its
status is not settled.
The dreSSy Russian blouse is in
satin. velvet or brocade. and is finished
about the neck with some kind Of fur.
which for spring and summer will be
replaced with ruchings of chiffon, ma
lines or tulle, or. perhaps neck piece
the Russian blouse are those of a
different material from that of the skirt
Big buttons, generally Of metal, are
used and the latest models show a
slit in the back and at the side.
When they are not gathered in with
a belt these new blOuSeS look not
unlike the little coats with straight
fronts and backs that were familiar
last season. This is particularly true
Wnen tney are made OF macralne DralQ
or any of the heavy laces of fashion.
So much white is seen in the shops
that one would think that it was the
middle of August instead of the mid
die of January. Although this is not
a new vogue, il is enjoying all the
prestige of first season mode. In
corduroy, which looks like heavy whip
cord and cote de cheval the white
suits are beautiful. There are SPLEEN
did examples of white benSaline bro
cade, a material that is benSalme in
foundation, yet covered in light vel
vet figures. The manufacturers are
promising a br0cade of corded silk or
raised satin for later in the season.
With white, all light materials are
fashionable. There seems to be no
green between black and intensely dark
shades. Black is still worn to great
extent. heavily touched in white, and
navy blue is popular Yet for ef-
fective afternoon functions or for
weddings-the modish we'd
ding takes place at noon-nothing
seems 50 pretty as the soft light tones
now in vogue. All tones Of cream, vel
lows and the dyes at one time con

as putty. beeswaX and chalk, are now
the things most to be desired

A New Potato

A new potato known as Norton Beau
ty is being introduced in this valley that
has many things to commend it. Its
strongest point is its earliness. Being
a week to ten days earlier than Early
Rose and growing deep in the ground
it is not affected by the hot sun as
quickly as other sorts, such as White
Rose. 1t is also a splendid cooker and
will keep and ship better than most
sorts. The farmers should try it, as
they should at least grow early pota-
toes enough for family use.
