DRESSING YOUNG GIRL
HER CLOTHES ALWAYS y SOME
THING OF APRosLEM.
Wise Mother, at This Stage Of Her
Daughters Life, VIII Provide
= Pretty Things and Teach Her
as.. to Take Care Of Them.

There is no period in girls life
when it is so difficult to dress her,
successfully as between the ages OF
fourteen and seventeen, and though
the problem of finding suitable clothes
Is one that faces all mothers of grow
Ing daughters, one seldom finds any
very wide selection of ready-made gar
ments suited to this purpose.
In choosing frocks, a great deal de-
ponds on the girl herself, for 1t is no
good buying dainty attire for the
young person who considers the care
Of gowns and hats a perfectly unneces-i
sary waste Of time. Miss Sixteen, with
opinions Of this kind, needs a certain:
amount of training before any respect
for her garments can be instilled eff
fectively, and though the majority, of
girls today are as anxious to be as
well turned out as their grown-up sis
tiers, the tomboy maiden still remains,
and the difficulties OF clothing her ac-
cordingly. * s..8i
II have often heard" said mother
recently, that rough and serviceable
materials, serge and holland in dark
colors. and such like, are all that
should be used In q schoolgirls outfit,
but this Is, I think, q great mistake.
No girl will ever learn to value her
things and take a pride in her appear
anco II only supplied with garments
of a Workmanlike but ugly type. An
occasional pretty gown. a becoming
hat. soft solors. and light materials
will, by their very charm, teach her
better than a hundred wordy sermons
the necessity for care where her pos.
sessions are concerned"
This being the case, 1t is wisest to
exercise great care in choosing a girls
clothes, and what is more. she should
be allowed to make her own ,sugges-
tions and have her individual ideas
carried out as far as they are COM
Hpatible with good taste and common
sense. Mothers who do this are lay
ing the foundations of a practical
knowledge in the details of dress and
expenditure that will prove invaluable
in after years. "A S45l j.

perky little manner which is difficult

WOMEN AS PUBLIC SPEAKERS
Of Experiences Maryels

Address Public Gatherings.

that, after many years experience, he

Women. who are comparatively
fresh to the platform" do not seem
to be overtaken by the nervousness
,or to display the false modesty Of
linen. Nowadays women have many
opportunities Of public speaking. Peo-
pile regard it as a matter of course
when woman rises to speak at any
kind Of gathering. and it is very rare
indeed that one who does speaks
daltingly or makes any preliminary
excuse for herself ~

of themselves do speak, but 1t is quite
remarkable that one rarely hears

Authenticity Of Paintings Now Can Be

one DR.. Laurie, a London professor Of

states.
Every true art lover knows the
grinding apprehension he is constant
ly in lest by some sad chance he
imagine merit in a picture that only
pretends to have been painted by a
great artist. Hardly one critic of any
eminence or authority has failed to
make this cruelty humiliating mistake
at least once, and one Of them is
quite enough to embitter lifetime.
Given a single unquestionable anthem

that he can decide infallibly that an

Automatic Professor.

The automatic professor is a me-
chanical means of teaching language
which has just been introduced and
which promises to become a favorite
because of the ease and convenience
with which 1t enables one to acquire
a language. The device consists OF
combination of the photograph with
a piece Of mechanism which operates
a reel on which are printed words
and sentences so that the student ID
enabled to see the word at the same
time that he hears it. The phono-
graph alone has already been utilized
for the teaching of language with
some success, but the efficacy of the
new combination is much greater and
the student acquires greater famil-
iarity with the language, both written
and spoken. in less time. It is also
applicable to elementary instruction
In music. y

Although waists are things OF the
past, let no one imagine that the cor.
set is no longer necessity or is in
any way negligible quantity. Far
from it. It is a modern paradox that
in order to attain the natural figure
greater attention than ever must be
paid to the corset. These wonderful
nearly straight lines from the arm to
the hips. or rather to the knees, for
the new corsets reach to just above
the knees, are due more to the art OF
the corsetiere than to any dietary or
exercise. The latest thing in corsets
is. very lightly boned, and has no
bones at all over the hips. It is made
in most instances Of tricot, either In q
cotton or silk mesh, and Is extremely
supple and comfortable to wear. fitting
without wrinkle. Their variety is In
finite. There are special models for
athletic wear, for riding and dancing,
very thin graceful ones for evening
wear under draperfes. and a more
sturdy kind. for general wear under
