GROWING CHILD NEEDS REST
According to Eminent Authority, Hours
of Study Should Be Restricted
With Much Care.

AS soon as the child begins to grow
rapidly all intellectual eXertion should
be checked Such is the theory which
DIR. C. Mercier, the famous English au-
thority on children, expresses in an
article in the London Lancet. Espe-
cially when there is any family tend
ency to nervous or mental disorder,
rapidly growing children should be
Withdrawn from school altogether un-
til the period Of rapid growth is over.
Mercier does not think that intellec-
tual work at high pressure is harmful
to either boys or girls as long as food,
sleep and bodily exercise are suf1-
cient; but he is sure that pressure of
intellectual work in those who are
growing rapidly should never be per-
mitted and if growth be proceeding
very rapidly all intellectual work
should be put aside.
Doctor Mercier insists that it is
scarcely possible to give growing chill
dren too much to eat, and it should

Pembroke took the card, looked at
it. and was really affected, AS far as
he was capable of showing real uneasi
ness he showed it then.
"You mean the Empire Advertising
company is behind this business?"
The Empire Advertising company. 1t
must be remembered, was the largest
in the world.
Wallace had not thought of that. He
had not meant to say the Empire was
actually behind Jones Pepsin gum
But now that Pembroke had suggested
it, it seemed to him to be a good idea.
and, without taking into consideration
the important fact that his father, not
himself, was president of the Empire
Advertising company, he took the
plunge.
That's just what l mean, and we're
going to do five times as much adver
tising as you ever did, and at one
tenth the cost"
''Then my people do no more busf
ness with the Empire"
"All right" Wallace positively
sneered, then let's see how much out

the Rocky mountains"
Pembroke rose. He was not happy,
but he did his level best to hide his
worry.

7 TITLE girls are privileged to wear
l. their hair in ringlets or ripples or
bobbed of short. And they may have
it braided in neat and shining strands
and still be fashionably dressed as to
their heads. And at the front the hair
may be trimmed across the forehead
in a bang or parted in the middle or
at enc side. No one style has been
adopted as better than another, but
there is a growing fondness for old
fashioned curls such as the little
daughters of colonial danes wore with
such demure pride.
But however the mother may de-
termine to dispose of the matter of
dressing her darlings head, one thing
is certain, ribbons of some sort will be
introduced in the scheme to the joy
of the wearer and every one within
sight of her. Plain wide taffeta holds
first place in popular favor for hair
bows and is not likely to be displaced.
It is crisp, with crispness that re-
mains, and made in every color of the
rainbow and many more.
Two arrangements of ribbon bows
are shown in the picture. The bow at
the left Is made of ribbon, six or more
inches in width, tied in pair of loops
and two ends; that is in the simplest

almost plain about the hips, and all
the lines made by frills and joinings
extend straight around the figure, less
ening it's height. No natural curves OF
the body are followed, and in fact the
body is encased in the skirt instead Of
being draped with it. The design Is
suited to slender figure of medium
height. 1t would be grotesque on
short, plump figure and awkward on
tall, slim figure.
The yoke with side plated skirt at
tached has been worked up quite sue
cessfully by making it an overskirt
finished with a frill at the bottom,
falling over a plain skirt. The over
skirt Is weighted a little and slopes
downward toward the back. The un-
derskirt is full enough to admit OF
freedom in walking.
One of those hats with fiat, f1aring
brim mounted over the side of crown
is faced with chiffon which extends be-
yond the edge Of the brim in frill.
The bandeau is covered with rib
bon finished with a small bow at the
right side. The plateau is of straw
braid and trimmed with wreath OF
small flowers in vivid colorings. 1t Is
a smart and attractive model.
Plaid and figured taffeta ribbon play
a very important part in the con-
struction of gowns and wraps. They
are formed into fiounces, edging wraps
shaped like short capes and other
suggestions of the dolman Of days
gone by.

hunter, nevertheless he had killed sew

found that she had fallen in kneel-

under her knee by a leg that was drir-

examination of the route over which

Were just waiting for Pembroke, :"
said Wallace
Pembroke! Oh. yes; some Of the
men told me that he is in town.
What's he coming here for?'
ITO try to give US whole lot Of
money" Wallace answered. But we're
not going to take it." He grinned up
at Broadway I'VE don't need it, do
WEI"
Jackson looked at him with mourn
ful eyes, recollecting all the bills he
had left behind in New York city.
Don't make me laugh. l didn't sleep
we'll"
The judge saw his young friends
increasing discomfort. you've made
the people of this town very happy to-
day, my boy. You ought to sleep we'll
after this. They owe you great
debt
Jackson passed the compliment. but
WINGED. please don't talk about debts!
Let's get on cheerful subject" With
a sickly effort to relieve his mind he
turned to Wallace. "How's the bar
ber?"
The judge seized this opportunity
to extol local genius. "Ain't he a
nice fellow. thought"
Yes" said Wallace dryly, "he cut
Taft's hair once
Il shouldn't be surprise" the Judge
assented heartily. He's from Hart
ford"
His remarkable appreciation of the
dignity and glories of the little cities
was a continual Joy to the two friends,
who smiled across his nodding head at
one another.
Wallace looked around appreciative-
ly. The old gentleman had pretty
nice offices here
YES" the judge agreed. He nod
dad toward the desk at which Broad
way had carelessly taken his position.
Seems strange not to see him sit
ting at that desk" He sighed First,
old Oscar Jones sat there, and he
died; then John sat there, and he died ;
then Andrew sat there, and he died !;

Broadway, who had listened to the
brief but tragical recital with expand
ing orbs, got up, and, as he edged
away from the too fatal piece of Office
furniture, eyed it with suspicion and
distaste. That's the last time I'll sit

But Judge Spotswood had not seen

resolve. He was launched on reminis-
cence. Every man in the plant loved
the old gentleman. They all feel
mighty bad. Just think-he was alive

towns in mourning"
1t was at this juncture that Higgins,
a new and happy Higgins, entered,

smiling genially. Excuse me, Mr..
Jones, the men want to know if you
have any objection to their celebrat-

He bowed respectfully to Josie, who
entered at that moment.

he to be outdone by this emissary of

of suspicion? Not If he, Broadway

She nodded.

reason for so unusual an arrange

wondering at his own great brilliance.

he doesn't wait on the customers,
does he?"

the other hearers, saving only the two
secretaries, who were bent above their
tasks with nervous diligence.

How was that?' he asked Wallace
in a whisper.
You're immense, on the square, y
said Wallace, with intense apprecia-
tion
Pembroke was not thus impressed.
He was offended. He was evidently
ready for offence from any quarter.
You are fippant, sir" he said with a
grave scorn. You gave me your word
that tho deal would be consummated
at two o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The price was settled and agreed upon
by both of u.s.
Jackson sat in silence, regarding
him with an innocent unwavering at
tention which very greatly disconcert-
ed him.
'I returned by appointment to your
New York apartment, with my law
yers and papers ready to sign. and
upon inquiring from an insolent butler
as to your whereabouts I received the
information that you were on your

raise his buffers wages once more.
HE said the only word that you had
left for me was profance request
that 1 go to-er-well, we'll not re-

Broadway looked at him with an
intensity of gaze which required three
stretchings of the neck to bring about.
