Old-Time Training.

Agnes Repplier. ill tho atlantic.
The education o. my childhood was en-
bryonc The education of today is eX-
haustive. The fact that the school child
of today does not seem to know any
more than we knew in the dark ages is i
side issue with which / have no concern.
But as l look back, I can now see plainly
that the few things little girls learned
were admirably adapted for one purpose,
to make us parts Of whole, which whole
was the family. I do not mean that
there was any expression to this effect.
Training for maternity" was an unused
phrase, and the short views of life. more
common then than now. would have rob-
bed it of its SAVIOR. Training for citizen
ship had, SO far as we were concerned.
no meaning whatsoever. A little girl
was little girl, not the future mother
of the race. nor the future savior of the
republic. One thing at a time There
fore, no deep significance was attached
to our possession of doll, no concern
was evinced over our future handling OF
a vote. If we were taught to read aloud
with correctness and expression to write
notes with propriety and grace, and tC
play backgammon and whist as well as
our intelligence permitted, it was in order
that we should practice these admirable
accomplishments for the benefit of the
occasionally ornamental features.

centage on his investment than most any
other man who seeks return for his
capital There is a tendency on the part
of the renter to view the matter solely
from his viewpoint. and to overlook a
number of vital matters that cause re-
duction in the supposed revenue received
from rentals.
I'm most cities the average and the best
that is realized on apartment building
over and above expenses is from to
per cent. Let us say that the average
is about per cent If we glance at this
amount it looks large, and the induce
ments to construct an apartment are
very alluring. On the other hand, we
are apt to overlook the many objection
able features in connection with the
same, and to forget all the trials and
losses and troubles that become part
of every landlord.
While this is natural in a large num-
| Der of investments, it is more decided
and frequently more peace narrowing in
this industry than in many others. Still.
there is no reason why the industry
should fail to continue inspiring in
the future as it has in the past. and even
more marked From the investors point
of view the erection of apartments is a
profitable one. The promise of future re-
turns in this way is alluring, and the
outlook is better each month. The per-
centage of profits will not decrease, and
the demand for apartments will steadily

In an article on the subject Are Apart

writes in recent issue of the National
Real Estate Journal
Are rents too high in apartments +?
The question is one that brings with it a
number of considerations and opens up
an avenue for discussion. To the aver

matter that comes in for fair share of
his daily thoughts. 70 the agent it is d
source of work at times. because of the
complaints that are coming to him. To
the owner. the man who is most con-
cerned, it is consideration that demands
his attention at frequent intervals.

assert that there are large number of
apartment jewellers who are always of
the opinion that the rent is higher than
it should be, and who do not feel that

SPECIMEN SUITE POPULAR.
Great Aid in Renting Apartments
Magazine Declares.

A recent development Of the apart
ment situation in New York city Is
the complete decorating and furnish
ing of specimen suite in order that
prospective tenants may obtain an ap-
proNimate idea of the quantity and
style of furnishings required and the
appearance of their possible home. ac-
cordins to the National Real Estate
Journal.
This phase of apartment renting is a
result of the cooperation practiced be-
tween department stores, furniture
dealers and owners and agents and
decorators, who frequently benefit from
their part in the transaction by their
receipt of an order for furnishings for
which reason they are willing to aid
the agent In his efforts.
There is vast difference between an
apartment unfinished and one that
has been made into an attractive,
tastefully arranged home "all ready to
move into. and many a young married
couple have been won over by the
sight of a coy home when bare floors
and walls afforded but poor support for
the arguments of some earnest agent.

TWO NEW WRINKLES.
Lator-Saying Devices for Use in
Apartments.

How to live in an apartment house
with the least amount of labor and with
the greatest convenience and luxury is a
problem that many Americans devote
their time TO solving; SO new devices for
simplifying life in the apartment house
are appearing constantly. according to a
writer i'll the Saturday Evening Post
Two recent ones are self watering flow
er boxes for the windows and self-light-
Jig lamps for the closets. The flower
boxes have a reservoir that feeds water
to the plants, and the reservoir does not
require filling often; so daily watering of
''ie plants is unnecessary The self
lighting closet lamps are electric lights
connected with switch operated by the
closet door, SO that when the door is
opened the lamp In the closet lights up,
and when the door is closed the current
is shut off.

In connection with the fines of half d

seventeenth century servants we should
not forget that such sums meant more

WILSON SUPPORTS NOMINEES
[By Associated Press. |

Washington, d. c., July S.-De-
claring ii would be unfair to regard
the Democratic party as enemy of
big business or little business Pres
ident Wilson today gave out
statement in support of Paul War

The Presidents statement said:
1T would be unfair to the Demo-
cratic party or to the senate itself to
regard it as the enemy of business,
either big or little. am very sure
we do not regard n man as an
object of suspicion merely because he
has been connected with business,
and it follows that business in this
country has been chiefly promoted
in recent years by enterprise organ
lied on a great scale and that the
majority OF the men connected with
what We call big business are honest,
incorruptible and patriotic. You may
be certain that it is as clear to the
members of the senate as it is to
thoughtful men that those who have
tried to make big business what 1t
ought to be are the men to be en-
lcouraged and honored whenever they
respond to the call of public service.
81 predict with confidence that
nothing done by the Democratic ma
jority of the senate win be OF the
sort to throw suspicion on such men
as Jones and Warburg in manifest
ing a willingness to make personal
sacrifices and put their great expert
ence and ability at the service of the
country. Without thought of per-
sonal advantage in organization of
the great reform which promises to
be so serviceable to the nation they
are setting an example of patriotism
and public spirit which the whole
country admires."
