give to a room, a conservatory or a
veranda the Old-fashioned, picturesque
decoration of a bird cage? And the
article will appear to have been in

ster enclosed therein is remarkably
lifeike. Some of the cages are in en-
amelled white wood, suspended by
brass or nickel chains, and trimmed
with wide ribbons. Others are in bam-
boo, enlivened with lacquer edgings.
Prettiest of all cages are those in
wicker, decorated with ribbon tied flow

unravelled and rewoven into a collec-

Second mourning handkerchiefs are

The vogue for scallops are also seen

Heavy gros grain silks are being

TWO ANTI HEADS
JOIN NAVY LEAGUE
Mrs. Dodge and Miss Chitten-
den Ask Followers TO Work
for Preparedness.

The membership of the Navy League
has had two important accessions this
week and will soon have more. Mrs.
Arthur NJ. Dodge, president of the Ma
tional Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage, and Miss Alice Hill Chitten-
den, president Of the New York State
Association Opposed to Woman Suf-
frage, joined the organization. They
intend to be active in the women's sec
ton and Mrs. Dodge is strongly urging
all ants to follow the example they
have set.
1--WE feel" Miss Chittenden said yes
terday. that we should be prepared
TO uphold our faith in our institutions
and in the government of this country
against the possible invasion of any
foreign power"
This shows a distinct change of
heart on the part of the anti leaders,
who d year ago declared that war is
mems business and women had best
not interfere"
But the ants are not so intent upon
the defence of the country as TO neg
lect the peaceful arts. They are cul-
tivating poetry and have produced the
following song, which is to be used
as a photograph record, and is eX-
pected to make many converts at county
fairs:

SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY
AWord for the Private SchooIt Makes Use of Its Free
dom of Rigid Curriculum to Build Firmly on
Individual Emotional Interests

! building on his emotions and his devel
opment is rapid and delightful.
"My girls are encouraged to bring
all sorts of personal problems to their
teachers. who are simply older and
wiser friends, able to guide.
THE girl who loves gardening was TO
plant garden at home. Her problem
of what TO buy and how to arrange
varieties stimulated her 10 an intense
study Of botany, color. and arithmetic.
In three months she had learned more
than she would have learned in a year
without a dominant interest.
"Th, 81! who is going abroad studies
history and geography with vivid in
terest. The girl who is to stay at home
and has been promised that she may
have her room redecorated, takes up
manual training and design with en-
thusiasm.
81 consider it the teachers first re-
sponsibility to know intimately the
tendencies of her pupils. OF course,
the tendency TO emotional expression
is the strongest, and l believe that our
old-fashioned school curriculum which
ignores emotion is very bad for chill
dren, indeed.
Dancing in the Curriculum.
Tnterpretive dancing is the best me-
dunn for emotional expression and de-
velopment that have found. 1t leads
TO concentration, accuracy and perfect
coordination; it gives strength and the
fine poise which accompanies free
rhvthmic movements and muscular con-
troll.
"But most essential is the outlet
which interpretive dancing affords the
emotions by the expression of the dra-
matte instinct latent in every child
The emotions are coming into their
own. They are no longer regarded as
disreputable factors of human tenn
perament-to be repressed and ignored
except in the safe seclusion Of the
home or the novels of Robert Cham
bers.
Emotions are TO be recognized and
included in systems of education. Think
of it! Play with the idea. Make an
emotional scale. Put the anti-social
emotions below zero, envy, hatred,
malice and all uncharitableness, with
race hatred lowest of all, the absolute
zero of human decency. At zero, is
self-love. which is neither social nor
anti-social. Above zero are the social
emotions romantic love, domestic love,
friendship, citizenship, patriotism, and
highest Of all, love of humanity.
Find your own emotional develop
ment on the scale and you will have
some guide to determining your So
/ cial value. Time was when citizenship
was the highest excellence Of the most
civilized. But Athens and Sparta de-
/ stroying one another taught the need
of a larger emotion, and patriotism
held together the Roman Empire for
thousand years. Out of tho European
war will grow a love OF humanity more
inclusive than patriotism. or humanity
will be destroyed.
