Art of Spelling.

Fort Worth Record.
That's Il splendid idea i~naugurated by
the principal and superintendent of the
Temple High School To weed out those
of the graduates of the grammar grades
who are deficient in spelling and put
them through u course in the old blue
back spcller. The news account has it
that many of these graduates are miser-
abe spoilers. woefully deficient IN spell
ling and we have no doubt the account is
IL far from exaggeration.
Spelling of English words il rapidly
coming one of the lost arts through the
method of teaching "o~rthography.'' No
human being can learn To spell the Eng
llsh language by writing the words as
they appear on the written or the print
ed page. This is owing To the composite
character Of the languages and TO the
fact that the vowels have so many lif-
ferent sounds. thirteen to four symbols.
The ear. not the eve. is the organ Of
sense through which spelling Of English
can he taught satisfactorily. and unless
q speedy return to the old plan Of stand
up and spell down is made. the rising
generation of American youth will lack
the proper conception Of the beauties Of
their native tongue.
Besides. how can literature survive
after we have lost the art of spelling?

 To Denmark fashion is indebted for one of the most beautiful and beloved of colors-Copenhagen blue. a shade as world-renowned as Rembrandt brown, that wonderful deep-toned brown one finds only in Holland in- teriors, or as English pink-a com posite hue from the country of roses.
 Norway has contributed Hardanger embroidery which has taken it's place on high plane in the home of dis tinction, ranking with filet and cluny designs for dining room linens. The original Hardanger embroidery was done by the peasants of the Hardanger Valley, visited by every tourist in Nor way because of the noble Skjaegged- alsfos, one of Norways countless wa- terfalls.
 Norwegian embroidery and Danish pottery are in high favor for veranda use at smart country houses this year. The strong colors of this pottery are most effective against an out-of- door background, whether 1t be green heeges and lawns, or the blue sea glimpsed across white concrete ter race wall. At a luxurious country house on Long Island Sound tea Is served on the terrace every afternoon at four and the observance of tea hour is as, rigid as in an English home. The \tea service of blue and green Danish ware. set out on a wheeled tea wagon Is rolled out on the brick flags of the terrace. overlooking the soa, promptly 1t four.

file colors; and they are matched by pink satin slippers and white silk stockings.
 Sweater For The Athletic Girl.
 The Jaunty sweater and cap of blue angora cloth with plaid trimming in rose, white, black and deep blue, Is just the thing for rough and ready campus wear. The cap is made smart and becoming by flat bow of the coat material held against the front by buckle. The girl who anticipates skating this winter will need just such a sweater and cap.
 A Youthful Tailored Mode For
 Travelling.
 If the college girl has a tailored suit for Sundays and special occasions such as travelling home for week end visits-it should be a youthful suit. with plenty of dash and swing, like the suit pictured. This model is of dark green whipcord with a very little fiat braid trimming around the pocket and at the edge of the sleeve. The skirt is short and has its fullness massed at the sides as is now the mode, and the coat buttons at one side from shoulder to waistline, belt trimmed with small ball buttons pass ing across the back. from pocket to pocket. Obviously only a youthful and slender -hipped figure could stand this style of coat. The collar buttons high about the throat and there is a velvet bow at the back-also a youth

cream Jug, sugar-bowl, cup and saucer, covered cereal dish, cereal bowl and plate and a small receptacle for marmalade. or a soft boiled egg. There are other pieces of similar pat tern in this effective Danish ware and such breakfast set, arranged on a white cloth embroidered with a col ored monogram to match the china Is most attractive.
 jar for serving honey is typical of the Danish keramic art. Bold in color yet pleasing in its simple, sturdy shape is the decorated jar on its rather heavy plate, edged with narrow band of color. The cover of the jar fits closely over the top and the dividing line between top cover is indistinguish- able because of the ridges in the hive" or honey jar. Such a honey receptacle would be ideal for the nursery tea. and the busy bees on the jar should delight little folk almost as much as the sweet substance within.
 More dignifed in line Is the desk set of Danish faience. Here again one notes the simple. sturdy shapes and the all-over decoration in bold, ale most crude color. The candlesticks seem to suggest an aim at lighter grace in the festooned chain design on the uprights but the general shape of the stick. spreading broadly at the base, indicates sturdiness rather than delicacy. The ink and pen rack has the same sturdy character and the design is suggestive of the square tow CTS capped by squat. rounded domes

Knitting S,ueaters the Summer postin1e

n NE woman d, the summer hotel
 brings out her supply of bright " colored worsted and her long needles and sets to work, knitting a sweater for herself or some lucky friend, and presto In a week half dozen other women are busily knit ting similar sweaters. No one can have too many gay sport coats this year and these hand-knitted sweaters of bright worsted are just warm enough and not too warm for mid summer wear over thin frocks. They are so light and soft too. that they will not crush a dainty bodice and they are much much less expensive than a machine-knit silk sweater! Less than a dollars worth of split zephyr worsted and a pair of amber needles will make one of these sweat CTS and it is the easiest sort of knit ting. One casts on enough stitches for the back, knits enough rows to reach to the arm; then casts on more stitches for kimono sleeves. The sleeve portion knitted, some of the stitches are dropped off and one front is finished. Then the other front is

The Laundry Problem
 Ina Summer Hotel
HE most discouraging item

S4 HE most discouraging item on
 ones bill at the summer hotel
 V or boarding house is apt to be ] the item of laundry. One must have fresh, dainty apparel. yet it does cost such an appalling sum to have a few blouses and bits of neckwear done up, and the laundry price on frocks and sport skirts is almost enough to make one pack up and return home. Frocks and skirts of course must go to an outside laundress, but small pieces like silk blouses, neckwear and handker- chiefs may be done up very satisfac- torily in ones room, if there is sun for bleaching and drying and electric light to furnish heat for the iron Invest in a set of the dolls laundry implements which any toystore will furnish. The tiny clothespins and clothesline will be just what you need in the hotel room. Be sure to have bit of blueing tied in a. scrap of muslin, and a good washing powder will soften the water and help take out stains and soil marks. An electric f1atiron is an inestimable convenience, but be careful not to do your ironing on the polished top of waahstand or dresser without first laying several thicknesses of newspaper or d blanket : between wooden surface and the strip of muslin which forms your ironing sheet. Never plunge the iron in water to cool it off, but plan your ironing . so that the iron will have time to cool off thoroughly before being put away

donned for breakfast and the easier it is to adjust, the better, as the little freshman will speedily discover. Be- tween rising and breakfast gongs there is little time to pin belts and tie neckbows-if the least bit of an extra cat-nap has been indulged in and the frock of frocks is a one- piece affair that may be donned in a jiffy
 Such a frock. admirable in every de- tail, is the one pictured; of dark blue serge-that standby for school days. The model is in two pieces, a loose middy sort of waist that slips over the head and a skirt that buttons up the front. Collar and tie are of black silk with white braid trimming and the short skirt displays sensible laced shoes with low heels and not too pointed toes.
 Shocked blouses are fashionable now and make excellent college blouses over skirts of serge or checked worsted. The tall, slim girl looks well in a smock belted low with a wide leather belt and such a smock should fall about to tile knee, above a gored skirt of contrasting material; for ex- ample blue serge smock above a blue and black checked or striped skirt; a brown smock above a black and brown checked skirt, or a green smock above a green and blue checked skirt, and so on. A wide collar of white linen will give good style to the smock and may be made adjust. able for weekly launderings. AS a rule, the less the college girl has to bother with dainty neckwear, the bet ter. Unless such things are fresh and immaculate the costume looks a good deal better without them.
 The dinner frocks should be simple and girlish and of some soft fabric like challis, poplin, taffeta or a thin worsted stuff. Cashmere is again fashionable and frock of this sort in a soft shade of plum. blue or rose, with white organdie collar and cuffs and low grdle or sash of silk will make most attractive house gown. The evening gown pictured Is not too elaborate for college girl since it's style Is youthful. The sash is a new note and is very graceful, sloping down to the left hip where it finishes with a soft bow. This dress is of white net over pale blue messaline. The sash and the silk roses on the skirt are in pale pink and the little frills of satin ribbon below the roses are pale blue. White. pink and blue, the jeune
