of the most advanced and ardent fem
tnists, the most militant of suffra--
gettes
The shops are showing the most al
Turing little frocks Of white. or pastel
tinted organdies. One sweet model in
flesh tint has full short skirt of two
ties gathered on a rather high baby
waist and .girdled simply with a black
pink roses finishing the front. The full
waist is sleeveless and cut low and
round in the neck; over 1t is worn a
bolero effect Of lace with tiny little
the elbow. This is evidently forerun-
ner and perhaps we should say a fore
armer of the threatened absolutely
sleeveless frock for summer afternoon
wear.
Pale yellow organdie dresses with
two-tiered skirts in two tones of yell
low look like inverted daffodils and a
pink one ruffed from waist to ankle
has all the beauty Of full-blown rose.
Chaplet of Green.
Since hats are absolutely taboo for
evening wear at London restaurants
and theaters, many and divers are the
modes for adorning the coiffures.
A chaplet of green leaves on a Titan
haired beauty at the Ritz the other
night was a stunning addition to her
classic Pysche knot and the Grecian
tendency Of her white and silver gown.
Yet another red gold head fairly
bristled with q fan-like arrangement of
black aigrettes thrust unfurled In her
high French twist.
Bobbed heads are but rarely glimpsed,
but the jeweled band worn low on the
brow a la Irene Castle and Pavlowa
is favorite and artistic form Of hir-
suite adornment.
And yet another war fashion Is on
the face of things! They have even
taken the veil, and military wells now
offer allegiance to Mars by sporting
regimental insignia, flags, and badges,
In their airy mesh. Even the cross Is
represented. but with the motif woven
in black threads.
In place of last seasons omnipresent
simple artificial flower or nosegay.
many women are now wearing tiny
silken flag at throat or girdle.

:Honnes for Rural Teachers
Bureau of Education Finds Need of
Emphasizing Permanency of Tenure.

school is less than two school years
Of 140 days each. This average"
says the bulletin. "is very much less
for a majority of the teachers. the
few permanent professional teachers
alone bringing it up close to the two
year level"
AS the average age when teaching
Is begun Is nineteen wears, and the
average number Of years taught Is
only six and one-half, the bulletins
statistics show that the rural public
schools Of the country are taught
largely by young unmarried peoplo
who have no idea of following teach
ing as a profession.
The conclusions of Mr.. Foght are:
so long as teachers continue to be
peripatetics. the best results in
community leadership cannot be ex-
pected. A change from amateur to
professional teaching in the rural
schools would be hastened by giving
the teacher a salary that would en-
able him to provide comfortably for
his family. and bv compelling the
community. through legal enactment
to erect teachers cottage in close
proximity to every school plant"

Striking Combinations of

Brushes at Daring Angles,
Feature MarsanS Model.

A FTER a brief period Of popu-

n has returned enthusiastic
cally to her perennial favo-
lite, the toque. Cora Carsan. who
has been responsible for several
striking modes this spring. recently
presented a skull cap" as her con-
ception Of the small hat.
This toque Is about as small as 1t
Is possible to make q hat, and allows
space for only the platnest arrange
ment Of the hair. The crown Is
Of black hemp straw, with a heavy
rib. The brim is wide and much like
the "Tipperary" hats of last winter,
with shadow-checked taffeta laced
through vertical bands of the straw.
The trimming follows the standard
Of usual ornaments set earlier In the
year. In this hat two ornate cups
Of straw hold bristling black horse
hair brushes posed at daring angles.
Such a hat is only suitable for
wear with a severe trotteur costume.
1t would be possible to use many
striking combinations Of color IN
copying the model, and other materi-
al than the taffeta could be used
for the lacing about the brim. How
ever, the checks would be striking

the checked tailored suits 80 much

The hat, to be effective. must be
worn at a rakish angle, tipped over
the right ear. and a medici collar
or A ruff should be worn to counter
act the severity Of effect.
The hair should be arranged as nat
as possible. Locks may be drawn
in front Of the ears IN little 'aos'
but the ears themselves are un-
covered.

In living conditions is a stimulant.

quainted with two nice young fell
lows. They are both about seven

you advise us to speak to them or
them to speak to us first?

Goodness, gracious, my two dear
little worried girls, when I started
your letter l thought you knew the
two boys. You write in your first
sentence that you are acquainted
with them, and then you beg me to
tell you whether they should speak
to you first or You should speak to
them first. Under no circumstances
should you speak to them or permit
them 10 speak to you without an in

All frocks and costumes, as they call
