Home of Lucy Stone, PiO-
neer, Tomorrow.

Lucy Stone, that gentle. sweet-voiced
exponent Of women's rights in a day

pleasant than it il to-day, would not
believe her ears, Dr. Anna Shaw says
if she could be at he unwilling OF the
tablet in her honor at Orange, n. j., to-
morrow, and her what is said of the
progress of woman suffrage since her
time.
Think of it," DR.. Shaw said yester-
day. To-day, women are voting as
men are in most of our Western states
At the ceremony women will gather
from four great states, Massachusetts
Pennsylvania, New York and New
Jersey. in which women's enfranchise-
ment Will be submitted to the voters
this fall, with every prospect OF
success"

and outher leaders will tell of the cour-
age of Lucy Stone their speeches al
the dinner tonight at the Essex
County Country Club. The dinner will
be preceded by an all-day conference al
the Pilgrimage headquarters at 4S3

SO great an enthusiasm has been
aroused by Professor Elscm's work
that the members of both classes have
united in forming a Scoutcraft Club,
with Professor Elsom as honorary
president. This club has two pur-
poses: One, to keep the members OF
the first Scoutcraft course at Column

work together has ceased; the other,
to keep alive the interest and knowl-
edge Of scouting at the university

Now another joins him and new
group is formed.
"a moment ago he was a part of the
quilt group in the arbor; now he is
one of a ~roup racing across the field.
In both groups there is harmony -har-
mony of lihe and harmony Of spirit -
YOU see one; YOU feel the other.

pageants with the rest of the neighbor
hood. But my pupils are not dancers,
you understand. A dancer is an artist.
as poet is. Not every one can write
poetry, certainly, but every one can
learn to express himself in words clear
ly and sincerely.
80 every one can learn to express
himself in movement. Not every one
can be a dancer, but every one can ex
press his spirit in his movements and
have great delight. People always ask
me: why are your children so happy?
| answer: Because they are always
creating something
you and are creating something a
we talk ideas born in us we form
with words and send out. SO we are
happy because our spirits are flowing
freely now through the medium of
words. II | should stop talking and
walk across the field l should still be
happy. for my spirit would be flowing
out in movement We are sad only
when we are repressed,
IF we could all sing and dance and
talk and work we should all be happy.
Here are photographs of my pupils
taken for ten years back. See this
first group of children when they came
to US. You can see how shy and awk-
ward they were and little sad. Now
turn the pages. None of these pictures
were posed; they were taken by one Of
the girls. my niece, Temple.
"See the difference in one year and
in three. Always they are more grace
full. more social and more gay. That is
all"
That's all just a way in which peo-
pie may become happier, more beauti-
full and more social. And, incidentally,
in the Elizabeth Duncan School, at
Croton- ont Hudson, you can learn
three RS and three foreign languages
and how TO sing and make your own
clothes.

the sign language of the Chippewas,
perhaps, or the Zuns. And the class
is saying: Eve are hungry" If they
are raising two fingers and wigwaggins
you are hearing them mention God, o.
if you catch them sweeping the air just
as high as their hearts, know that the
word is good"
And don't waste your sympathy il
you see the whole group tied up in
bandages or the very earnest young
Chinese being borne away on a stretch
er. This only means that Tuesday is
the day for first aid as the scout mas
tiers are going to have to teach it. And
don't imagine yourself in the presence
of collection of demented young sea-
faring men if you find the class all in
a row with hemp in the hands tying
knots That, too, is part of the game.
No need to dodge a possible motion
picture man if you see the whole ff-
teen wildly waving the arms of float
ing flags. 1t isn't a Charlie Chaplin
plot, but a lesson in signalling.
SO it goes practical things, jolly
ones, these are the things our colleges
have come around to teaching 20 fit
men for the task of dealing with the
regular boy, the kind that to save his
soul can't help from being deliciously
what he is. a young barbarian with the
need for something to do, for some
where TO go, for tests and games and a
cargo of facts about trees and water
and air. but for all that, the kind of a
person that, like his English brothers,
in time of family or national disaster
can be mustered thousands strong TO be
the swift young errand-running feet Of
great events.
Professor Elsom's other course, on
the educational principles underlying
the Scout programme, is quite as in
spring. Indeed, one of the biggest
values of either course is in simply
knowing Professor Elsom; in realiz-
ing that this is the kind of man that

blouse, crossing the shoulders IN r.
regular folds, drops over the sleeve

give the effect of a separate sleeveless

is becoming and we'll accords with a
half-rolled tall collar, finishing nat
lying fchu guimpe in cream lace, partly
filling the V opening of the blouse.
The ancient idea of drawing one
fabric through Sits made in different
material is followed in an exquisite
model composed of Alice blue MORE

ated depth trimming the skirt. Sash
broad ribbon is used for the soft glrdle
drawn rather high above the waist line
and at either side of front-centre, horl-
zontally slit, buttonhole manner.
Through these long Sits are drawn a
pair of loose-hanging short ends con-
tinued from a bodice in piece MORE,
running at either side into square tur-
refs. ending half way under the arm
nits and at front and back into plas-
irons ending at the collarbone, and
connected by narrow straps which en-
circle the throat's base. The under
blouse in gray chiffon is full-gathered
beneath the tops of the plastrons, has

Green and White.
Green and white, always an adorable
combination for a summer costume,
was the tone scheme of an exquisite
dance frock worn recently by girl Of
the Lenox colony. Its skirt in green
tulle carried four founces. The foot
aounce. set on at the knees, was Dor
dered with white satin sash ribbon,
headed by a fine design in white silk
embroidery. The next two founces car
ried three-inch satin borderings, also
embroidery headed. and between the
uaistband and the hips fell wave
odoed .Aounce bordered with inch rib
hon and carrying a long white tassel
between each scallop. Four-inch broad
ribbon shoulder-strapped the sleeveless
bodice. outlined its square decolletage
and swathed its waist line, while just
in front Of either armpit fell a long
white tassel. To employ tassel trim
mi.gs is an art which few designers
seem to possess. Sparingly used, as on
his ribbon and tulle frock, they are
charming.
