SCHOOL TEACHES

A school in Denton, Texas. attended

makes a speciality of teaching what
might be called the art OF marriage.
One department is q preparation OF
girls for wifehood. Girls enter at the
age Of 1s to IS and are instructed IN
physiology, housekeeping and how to
choose a husband. They are taught
that the prospective husband Is to be
considered as a mate, but also as an
ancestor Of generations to be.

train young women to q knowledge Of

The cunning little fox has, in one color

various are the qualities Of these skins!
Some are really beautiful, though many
do not admire the tawny shade; some
are quite Objectionable because Of their
pretensions; some are frankly impossible.
