shoulders almost to the waist Skirts

transparent gauze
We may return to the gowns of that
period, which we're without waists,
having simply a girdle to the bust,
with skirts caught up rather short in
front and slightly trained at the back.

about two inches wide, Some gowns
were caught up to the knee with large

REPRESENTATIVE HELM
KISSED BY SUFFRAG|STS
Argument Against Granting Votes
to Women Brings About Noisy
Demonstration.

Representative Helm Of Alabama, who
appeared before the House judiciary
committee in an argument opposed to
woman's suffrage yesterday afternoon.
was Kissed by women who are In favor
Of suffrage. Previous to Mr.. Hefiin's
remarks several women and Representa-
tive Mondell of Wyoming had spoken In
favor of suffrage without any sign of
opposition or kissing from the women
present who are organized against suf-
frage.
The outburst of kissing was but part
of the noisy ending to what started out
to be n perfectly well conducted meeting
The first break from the ordinary pro-
cedurc came when the National Woman
Suffrage Association disc.aimed partici-
patton in the political threat which had
been made by two members of the Con-
gressional Union. Mrs. Crystal Eastman
Benedict and Mrs. Mary Beard of New
York, who told the judiciary committee
that the democratic party would lose the
votes Of 100000 women in the suffrage
states unless this administration takes an
active step toward bringing about nation
wide suffrage.
For several minutes after the National
Association representatives disclaimed
any such po itical sentiment the room
was full of confusion. Mrs. Arthur
Dodge, president of the National Associa-
ton Opposed to Woman Suffrage, threw
a sugar-pointed dart into the body Of the

PUPILS TAUGHT TO WORK.
Blriey House School in England Has
Practical Methods.

Education by means of teaching the
pupils how to carry on productive occu-
pations on small scale-such as mining
ana farming-is practiced at the Birley
House School IN England. according to a
bulletin just issued by the United States
bureau OF education. Academic work
Is taught through the carrying on of
these industries. Carpentry. woodwork.
masonry and other manual work are also
taught.
Mining and the marketing Of products
may be taken as an illustration of how
the work is conducted at the house
school. Various minerals including coal
and gold quartz. are buried in different
parts OF the garden and the children go
out prospecting for them. The finders
become captains of industry. The cap
tains engage laborers at labor ex-
change, which is managed by one Of the
pupils. Shafts are sunk. winding appa-
ratus Is constructed and the mineral Is
brought to the surface. A system of
transportation in the form of a miniature
railway Is organized. furnaces are set
up. factories are planned. the possible
markets for the product are considered
and the Importance of a merchant ma
rtne recognized.
