Every fashionable garment must give
some ripple effect and here is a Jacket
that shows that feature and also a most
becoming collar. 1t is designed for young
girls and for small women and it can be
made either with three-quarter or with
long sleeves. In the picture, it is made
from dotted challis with frills of India
silk and lace banding as trimming but this
is the time of lovely cotton fabrics and
there are beautiful crepes, voiles and the
like that would make up most attractively
after the design while the heated houses
make them warm enough at any season.
Cotton crepe or cotton voile with frills OF
Valenciennes lace would be charn ng and
the crepe can be found in pretty colors
as we'll as in white. Practically the gar
ment is blouse with peplum Joined to
the lower edge so that it is very simple
and easy to make.
For the I6 year size, the jacket will
require 3 yds. of material 27 or SO, a1s
yds. a. in. wide, with Il yd. 27 for the
rufles, Az yds. of edging, yd. of beading,
The pattern 8485 is cut in sizes for I6
and IS years. 1t will be mailed to any
address by the Fashion Department Of

stranger asked the girl L escorted for
the first waltz. With my permission
she accepted. At the end of that
waltz she made another engagement
with the same young man. At the
end of that dance 1 firmly told her
If she would rather dance with this
young man than with me or the
friends in our party she might stay
with him for the evening. Her ex-
cuse for dancing with a stranger was
that he danced so well. Who was
justified?

The first blunder was yours. You
should had never have given your
permission to any girl for whom you
felt real respect to dance with a
stranger. OF course, she should not
have gone on dancing with him, but
you can hardly blame her after your
own lack of proper dignity. A man
ought to protect the girl he escorts
to dances from any advances, strang-
ers are impudent enough to make.

NROMen tss!2. ss2 lnreR@;S Us
American Children and Slang

language pass from the lips of Amerf-
can children unrebulSed by parents
who know better. Not only unre-
buked, but the slang frequently
evokes a laugh, which Is encourage
ment for its repetition.
Even in the shops and streets of
England one hears much better lam
guage used, with much more agree
ably modulated voices, than one hears
in our own country. 1t is an older
land, and the value of good langu-
age and the appreciation of 1T as one
of the virtues have been backed by
many more centuries than America
has known. But it seems that we
might awaken in our schools and in
our homes to the very large and inn
portant part which good language
plays in the world.
Children Should Realize the Value
of Good Lam
guage.
We ought to insist upon having
teachers who will devote a few mo-
ments each day to the discussion of
this subject with the children, so that
it may impress their minds, and that
the mere grammar lesson will not be
regarded as the whole of grammatical
education. A card ought to be print
ed and placed in every school and
every home giving a correct version
of few of the sentences misused in
daily conversation.
Attention to this card should be
called whenever double negatives are
employed or other mistakes made.
And by every possible means our
children should be made to realize
the value of good language as an ac-
complishment.
You may choose your word like a
connoisseur
And polish 1t up with art;
But the word that sways and stirs
and stays
Is the word that comes from the
heart.
You may work on your word a
thousand weeks,
But it will not glow like one
That, all unsought, leaps forth white
hot
When the fountains of feeling run.
Yau may hammer away on the anvil
of thought
And fashion your mind with care;
But unless you are stirred to the
depths that word
Shall die on the empty air.
For the word that comes from the
brain alone
Alone to the brain will speed;
But the word that Sways, and stirs,
and stays
Oh. that is the word men heed.

sections of drains. including the great
Spring creek sewer were included in
what was completed in the year Just

A FAMILY QUARREL.

you advise me how we can become

to me all evening and since we were
strangers we were both wall flowers
Worst of all, he made no attempt to
take us home, and after IL o'clock
we had to go home alone. My mother
was so incensed that she made me
give him the money for the tickets.
He became insulted and since then
he does not talk to me. For the sake
of having cheerfulness and amiabil-
ity in our home L have made sew
eral overtures to him but without
success. He claims that he was
right in not taking us home, because
he did not take us up and says he is
entitled to an apology. What shall
do? MONA
Your brother treated you with a
great lack of consideration and cour-

Passing a group of grammar school
graduates soon to enter high school,
the following phrases were overheard:
There amt no ball here" Eyes,
there is; / seen it," "I never done
no such thing" "Git out o. here
These expressions and others may
be heard in any schoolyard every day
in the year. More than three-fourths
of the boys and girls attending high
school converse in language which
is the expression of ignorance and
lack of culture.
system that so little value seems to
be placed on the important matter of
conversation?
The assistant dean of Harvard,
William Castle, Jr., complains that
the language of the average Harvard
student is very poor.
Certainly the same may be said of
Yale men. and of Princeton men, and
of students of all American colleges
and schools.
The Rochester Herald, commenting
on this, claims that good language
is a matter of feeling, and says:
"SIovenly writing is the result
of slovcnly thinking. No boy will
ever write an essay on the tariff
question I'm good English unless he
is interested in the tariff question.
No Harvard man will ever write an
essay on Hegel that will be well
written unless Hegcf has inspired
him either with love or with hate.
If English boys write better than
American boys, as ii is asserted
that they do, the reason will be
found i'm the fact that English boys
are more thoughtful than American
BOYS, for there is far less teach e
ing of English I'm English schools
than i'm American schools"
English Children Receive MoTc In

ton.
But English children receive more
intimate education in their homes
than our children receive.
At one of the English hotels a
father was heard day after day at
the meal hour drawing his little
daughter out to talk of her school,
her studies and her recreations, and
his gentle corrections were listened
to by the child with respectful in
terest.
In one English home typical of
thousands of others) the mother ar
ranged all her domestic and social
duties with the central idea of being
at the table when her children came
from school, and the conversation and
topics all served the purpose of educa-
tional uplifts.

REPAIRING ROAD

Preparations Being Made For
Burial Of Many Victims
Of Disaster

Ravensdale, Wash, Nov. 18--A rough

town Of Ravensdale to little cemetery
on the hill, nalf mile away. At this
time of year IL Is almost impossible
Today a big gang Of mine workers are
repairing It, They are toiling silently
and gloomily.
Two days ago they were working at
the Northwest Improvement company Z
coal mine here, OF in other mines near
by. But when the explosion came on
Tuesday afternoon wrecking the mine
and buryng more than thirty men, the
Rayensdale miners were thrown out OF
work, and the others, as is the custom
Of miners, quit their jobs and adjourned
to the scene Of the tragedy.
Part Of them donned helmets and
tried to rescue the entrapped miners
1900 feet down in the earth. The 9th
ers, having nothing to do, went to work
on the road to the cemetery. The road
will experience unusually neayy travel
the next few days.
With twenty-five miners still buried
on the third level Of the mine, and with
nine bodies recovered it is believed
today, after careful checking up, that
the total dead will be thirty-one. All
hope Of finding life in any of the
twenty-five still entombed has been
abandoned. IL NAV be q week before
the debris still wedged into the level
between the rescuers and the bodies

Condition Is Desperate.

Amsterdam, Nov. 1S.1Tne situation
of beleaguered Serbia is desperate to-
day. Both her northern and southern
armies are in danger of capture. The
best she can hope for is chance to
abandon the nation to its invaders.
There is possibility that the north
ern army can give the Austro. Germans
the slip and flee into Montenegro where
they would be welcomed.
In the south, however, the outlet is
at Ochrida in the southwestern corner
of Serbia. From there, perhaps, the
Serbs will make their way into Albania,
but even so, they are likely to receive
a hostile reception, while If they fled
into Greece, they probably would be
interned.
Everywhere the Austrians, Germans
and Bulgars are rapidly completing
their work Of clearing the nation Of Its
defenders.
In the south two great events are
developing. A big battle is brewing
about Strumnitza near the Serb. .Bul
gar boundary, while Monastir apparent
ly can hold out only u few hours more
The Bulgar armies in force have
joined at Prilep and are sweeping to-
ward Monastir, u comparatively short
march. Most OF Monastir s population
has fled. British troops are hurrying
to the relief of t1e city, but it Is doubt
ful whether they will arrive in time to
prevent the place from falling into the
Bulgar trap.
