the Delaware College Summer
School on the subject of "Eoual
Suffrage" The address was force
fui and interesting. Mrs. Hilles
sad, IN part, that it is unjust that
thirty million women should have
no part in making the laws under
which they live. Women are edu-
Gated now,-they are able to take
their place side by side with men in
the world Of affairs; and they are
therefore capable of casting the
ballot. The barrier against women
continued the speaker, is due to
prejudice, which in turn is due to
ignorance. Suffrage is great edu-
catlonal movement, and therefore
must triumph. In closing, the
speaker urged the students of the
Summer School to do their best to
secure the ballot for the women of
our state.
In the course of her talk Mrs.
Hilles did not refer to or discuss

chiefly from the South. The pur-
pose of the convention was to dis
cuss and formulate plans for max
inc more effective and extensive

country. DR.. Mitchell was one OF
the principal speakers of the ses-
sion. He discussed "Social Con-
ditions in the South. - Secretary
of State William J. Bryan address

vention. He spoke on the benefits

York. who for forty years has been
engaged in the work, traced It's de-
velopment in the United States,
and outlined some plans which ne
considers advisable to adopt III or
der that the most efficient work
may be accomplished.
One of the most interesting and
helpful of the talks given at the
chapel exercises of the DelaWre
College Summer School was dellv-
erd Jeuly II, by the instructor IN
drawing, Mr.. Ronald Davis OF Will
mington. His subject was Pic
lures in the School Room. " In
urging the study Of pictures In the
schools, Mr.. Davis pointed out that
such study should have for It's OBJ
ject three things: (D to acqualnt
children with good pictures; (2) to
assist in developing their power OF
observation beyond the mere recog-
milton Of name and artist; and (3)
to cultivate in them strong love
for the beautiful and to help them
to acquire the power of appreclat-
ing what is really worth while IN
pictures. Rural schools, as well as
city schools, may study pictures,
because modern processes OF re-
production have made good cop
les obtainable at extremely low
prices. Pictures" said Mr..
Davis, care, in the sense in which
we are considering them, primarily
wall decorations and should aid IN
beautifying our surroundings and
making us happier Continuing,
the speaker said that pictures for
the school room should consist not
of fine detail, but Of large simpi
masses, and should contain life and
action. In closing Mr.. Davis spoke
of methods of teaching an apprec.
lation of pictures, and also OF
methods and materials used IN
framing pictures artistically.

DEATH-DEALING KISSES

The most famous example of kisses
that have caused death Is furnished by
the story of the sprightly young Duchess
Of Gordon. who raised so many recruits
for the famous Gordon Highandcrs. In
the early days of the regiment recruiting
was very slow, but the Duchess attired
herself in the regimental colors, and made
a tour of the various markets and fairs,
offering to each recruit a guinea and a
kiss.
Most Of the recipients paid for the kiss
with their lives. No sooner was the regi-
mcnt raised than it was sent to fight the
French, and in the first engagement in
which the Duchesss recruits participated
there was loss of 800 killed and wound
cd, All the right Ranking company was
hit save one, and he, curiously enough,
did not happen to be a recipient of the
young Duchess's kiss. lie was a cannis
Aberdeenshire man. and for an extra
guinea he sold his right to another per-
son to a kiss from the Duchess's ruby
lips.
The Gordon Hghlanders are fighting in
the present war with the same magnii-
cent courage and bravery that have ever
distinguished that most gallant regiment

MY LApY,s CoIFFuRE

The trade in human hair is big in
dustry. Italians easily take the lead
in this traffic. the main source of their
supply being obtained from the peasant
women of Italy. Dalmatia and Switzer-
land. Several times a year these human
hair merchants send their agents around
to collect supplies, which are usually
immense, for hair-growing is cultivated
on a very large scale by these women,
and yields a good remuneration to the
producer. Two crops of hair year, and
looking none the worse for the loss, is
not extraordinary among these peasant
women. Half the hair at the back of the
head is shorn off, the remaining half being
drawn over the exposed part and dressed
in such manner as only to be de-
tected on very close scrutiny and by
those experienced in the trade.

learn that business mon are generally
divided into two classes, one tho detail
man. the other the large plan man or
executive. Sometimes a man combines
the qualities u: both groups, but generally
he belongs distinctly to one or the other
type.
Now the detail man is tho one who
carries out orders. lie Is responsible for
the thousand and one details which make
up the day Of that particular business.
He does not plan for next week or next
month or next year He does what he is
instructed for a very small period in ad-
vance without question, without lnitia-
tive, and without using any creative abil-
ity.
The large plan" on the other hand is
tho one in whose brain originates the
general policy of the business, the plans
and ideals toward which the business
shall work and the larger results not only
for next week, but for years ahead. lie
appreciates the value of detail and knows
all details thoroughly but the bigger ihca
in his mind is his business in all its de-
partments and as a whole Without his
creative sense and his imagination there
would be no business. and on him the
burden of responsibility falls.
Now I have often compared home-mak-
ing to business If this is true. what type
of woman shall direct the business OF
home-makng? Shall it be the detail or
the large plan woman? ! think YOU will
agree with mo when ] say that the bulk
of women home-maksrs fall now into
the detail class. They perform schedules,
they do a great deal of heavy work, they
spend unlimited time doing infinitesimal
small tasks in housework, but do they
ever approach the breath and viewpoint
of the large plan executive in business?

ropes Professional Women.

Invariably characterizes her, the Duchess
of Marlborough (Consuelo Vanderbilp,
Immediately following her return to Eng
land, set in motion society to be known
as the women's Emergency Corps. The
object will be to aid middle-class profess

or too proud to reveal their present dcs-
titution resulting from the outbreak OF
war.
In furtherance of her object the Duchess
sends to New York letter appealing to
the professional women in America to
ioin hands with their British sisters by
subscribing funds.
The letter continues:
They are organized as a community.
The only method of reaching them
is through such an institution as the
womens Emergency Corps. AS the
Executive Committee contains the
names of many of the most brilliant
women writer's in England who are
accustomed to work in cooperation
with these professional business
women they are the most fit persons
to organize FUNDS.
The circular promises in return to
American women schemes for work to
give the destitute women fresh chance
and continuous employment through the
war. Among the sgners of the appeal
are the Duchess of Marlborough, honorary
treasurer; Beatrice Iarraden, May Sin
clair Elizabeth Robins, Elinor Glyn,
Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler, Flora Annie
steele, Richard Dehan, Alice Meynell and
Dora Sigorson.
AS result of exchange of cablegrams
between the Duchess of Marlborough and
J. p. Morgan & Co. the latter mas con- con-

The cutting of the finger nails is one
of those little tasks from which We are
relieved only by the grave. 1t is COM
puted that their average growth. in sick
ness and In health, is one-thirty-second
OF an inch a week. a little more than an
inch and half year.
This rate of growth. however is not
the same for all the fingers, the thumb
and tho little finger being the ones whose
nails grow more slowly than the others,
while the middle finger Is the fastest of
the lot. In summer II has been OBJ
served that they grow quicker than in
winter. and some authorities hold that
the nails on the right hand lengthen
more rapidly than those on the left In
either case they grow four times as fast
as the nails on our toes.

A SCHOOL FOR LOVERS

For some time Munich has had its
school for lovers''-they call it the
"Hochschule der NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
but it is not nearly so formidable as its
name. At this sentimental seminary the
student is taught all the secrets of love
and wooing; the desirable qualities OF a
life-partner; how to create the best im-
pression and how to outwit rivals; the
proper time and method Of proposing, the
mysteries Of the wedding day; how 70
make the most OF the honeymoon. and
so on. The school, we understand, is a
great success, and justihes itself by a
brilliant array Of results.
