'ATHEK|AN OATH

Many of the pupils learned this
Oath of Good Citizenship but
the reports have come in from ma

we cannot tell whether pupils were

the Oath As we are dealing
with hundreds it is necessary for
us to have the work uniform and
systemized in order to file reports.
We have decided that the best way
is to have it written ON uniform

to have this done. Those who are

business is chiefly occasioned by
an increase in mail order business

Where One Woman Teaches
Practical Housekeeping

"A four-room fiat in a tenement
building at s13 Ewing street, Chicago,
is Miss Mary McClevey's school in
which children and working girls are
taught general housework under ap-
proximately the conditions that exist
in their own homes.
"There are five afternoon classes for
children of from six to fifteen. ami
five evening classes for working girls
of from twelve to twenty-five years
of age, says the Woman's Home
Companion. The pupils. not less than
six nor more than ten In each class,
are shown how TO make their homes
as attractive and healthful as possi-
BILE; how to clean and scrub, wash
and iron; how to cook, how to econo-
mize fuel, how to select foods that
are at once cheap and nourishipg,
and how to furnish a home to the
best advantage in regard to expense.
taste. and sanitation. This school,
the first Practical housekeeping
Centre. established by the Associa-
ton of Practical housekeeping Cen
tres OF Chicago. was opened In Feb
ruary. 1909. with an, equipment cost
ing about two hundred dollars. A
second centre was started December,

Although many of our fashions are
conceived with never thought of the
practical, for adornment alone, the
sports coat, which is becoming more
popular every day, is an exception.
This garment, | believe, originated
with the mackinaw-rough, heavy
coat of plaid patterned after the gar
ment of the same name worn by the
Canadian woodsmen. 1t is now being
made of all suitable coating materials,
plain or plaid, and fills very impor-
tant place in the modern girls and
womans wardrobe. A reversible coat

is a. soft, woolly fabric in dark blue; q
narrow stripe of red runs through the
reverse side and is turned back TO
form collar and cuffs. A stitched
strip of the material forms the belt.
The raglan shoulder, which shares
honors with the yoke this season is
a feature, and the huge patch pockets
are q convenience.

CORRECTING CARELESS
CHILDREN'S HABITS

| Most children have the bad habit
of throwing down anywhere their
gloves, which are seldom to be found
| together when again wanted.
Rubber shoes are kicked off hurried
ly and left wherever they happen to
| fall.
The suburban mother protests, and
perhaps she scolds about having SO
much mud brought into the house,
and possibly good effects result from
both: but in all probability. in a hurry
to play indoors, the same carelessness
will soon be shown again, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger
Gloves are hard to take care of, for
which reason the children have some
excuses for carelessness.
One way to aid them to form a good
habit is to fasten small brass rings
in the gloves; these will not show
when the gloves are being worn and
may easily be put over a small hook,
If the latter is placed in convenient
place.
AS for the rubber shoes, spring
clothespins will hold them together.
But what is necessary and seldom at
hand when putting on rubber shoes
is a shoe-horn.
By the use of it difficult task may
easily be accomplished and the moth
er's temper and fingers saved.

CUSTOM OF CALLING
NEGLECTED IN CITIES

In the cities calling has gone or ap-
pears to be going, out of fashion, but
in the suburbs we still keep it up.
Somehow, out of town, as far as my
observation goes, people are a little
more social in their habits than their
city friends.
There are certain calls that really
ought to be considered as obligatory
whether or not fashion says other
wise
A call is certainly due after one
has been entertained at dinner
luncheon or an evening party.
In time of illness and sorrow calls
should be made, and after a mar.
riage or birth, says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. fs
| Then when new corners arrive IT
the neighborhood it is regarded at
only kind and neighborlys5in the sub
urbs, to call upon them after they
are settled.
If the people do not appear con
genial no further calls need be made
But it is pleasant to have a bowins
acquaintance with people in your Owl
town. First calls should be returned
promptly, and If one really want;
to keep up with her visiting list sht
will try to call on each person at Least

IF YOU WANT A DRESS TO WASH.
SELECT THE MATERIAL CAREFULLY

Why not say also THE easy to-wash
dress?' but. alas! that does not al
ways follow in these days of draper
les and of goods cut on the bias.
Moreover, l cannot help wondering
why it is that we say "Will ii wash?"
How will 1t look after it is washed"
And SO it seems there are several
things to consider in making wash
dresses. First. what does the term
wash dress" imply? 1t means, first,
a dress of washable material. al
though by no means all dresses of
washable material can be called
wash dresses" 1t means, second. a
dress made of washable material in a
quality firm enough to withstand the
ravages of the laundry. 1t means,
third, a dress cut and made in such
way that it will hold its shape after
it has been wet-that is, will not
stretch out of shape and hang In
forty-seven different ways. Among
the materials suitable for these
dresses we can run the whole gamut
of ginghams, linens, real and near .
piques. percales. eponges, seersuckers
and fabrics with a crepe weave or
finish. says the Ladies' Home journal.

Dust Your Windows Often

The glass of windows would need
cleaning far less often II 1t were dust
ed regularly, inside and out, if easily
reached
A folded pad of newspaper is the
best thing to use, and If this Is
sprinkled with a few drops of am
monia or paraffin it will serve for
window cleaning also.
When the windows are to be washed
they should be busted first with the
newspaper pad if very dusty, and the
cleaning and polishing will be more
easily done.
