ONE DOLLAR A DRESS.

Recently Boston woman came out
with the statement that one dollar and
one day are sufficient to spend on
any dress. More time. and more
money than this are, according to
this exponent of sartorial simplicity
just so much time and money
wasted.
Any woman who has attempted
home dressmaking can picture the
result of the one-dollar-one-day frock.
You could hardly hope to spend more
than IS cents yard for the fabric
and at that price cotton would be the
only possible choice. And the frock
that took but eight or nine hours to
make would necessarily be innocent
of any embellishing stitchery. No,
the good woman from the Hub was
apparently dreaming of the impossi-
bic when she planned her economical
frock
But why so much talk about the
wasteful expense of clothes?
Why shouldn't women wear pref
ty clothes and clothes that are ex-
pensive if they can do so without in
juring any one thereby? Why
shouldn't we encourage the work of
the great dress designers, who are
just as able masters of the fine arts
in their way as are the painters and
sculptors? For no one can deny
that Poiret, the master of MANY
colors, is just as much of genius as
Sergeant or Chase or Abbey. And
truly the Callot sisters are as in

that you believe you cannot begin too
early with that part of their educa-
ton. And then. when you have your
husbands interest and cooperation,
begin with some definite plan with
the children.
One mother with whom / am In
constant correspondence and who often
furnishes me with excellent ideas for
our talks. writes that she has begun
TO train her boy Of six In the use of
money. She says that she herself
never had any teaching in economy
and after her marriage. when she be-
gun TO provide for her family. she had
to learn by the hardest how to make
a little 20 a long way. So when her
boy was four years of age she gave
him a definite duty to perform each
day for which he was to be paid a
Fixed and specifed sum. The first lob"
the boy had was to bring in the supply
OF kindling each day from the pile in
the woodshed to a box in the kitchen.
Each morning there had to be enough
kindling In the box to start the fires
In the kitchen and sitting room, and
for this duty. well performed, he re-
ceived the weekly stipend OF S cents
In another year he was given the task
OF sweeping the back veranda every
morning and his wages were increased
to 10 cents a week. And so this wise
mother Is planning her boys duties,
each year a little greater responsible
lty. with corresponding increase IN
wages. and a longer list of the triffes
he must provide for himself In time
he will be taught to use his money
to the best advantage in buying GER
tain articles of clothing and thus
gradually arrive at the purchase or
his entire wardrobe.
Already the boy has developed
sense Of economy and OF the value of
money which is going to stand him in
good stead when he becomes a busi-
ness man. 1t is valuable teaching and
an example worthy of emulation by
every mother in the training. both OF
her boys and her girls.

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
BY MARY MARSHALL
November 10-Amy Levy.

Like so many women OF her race
who have achieved distinction. Amy
Levy. the poet and novelist. was of an
exceedingly melancholy temperament.
Not only was she sensitive to q degree
but In her mental makeup there seemed
to be an absence OF the ability of en-
joyment, a characteristic which in
creased as she grew older and finally
was the cause Of her death at her own
hands.
Amy Levy was born Of Jewish par
rnts in England. November 10 1861.
She was educated at Brighton and
NEWMAN College. Cambridge. but she
began to write poetry when she was
only 10 years old When she was 20
she published a pamphlet Of verse
called "Xantippe. and Other Poems"
which was of great merit and was
criticised only in so far as II appeared
to be initiative of the style of the
Brownings. In the first poem CT this
collection the clever young writer es-
sayed a defense Of the much-mahgned
wife OF Socrates.
Her greatest work was a novel.
Reuben Sachs" which attracted world
wide attention. This novel. like almost
all OF her works. was deficient only
in that It lacked the appreciation Of
pleasure The only pretty or pleasant
work that she ever produced was Miss
Meredith" written the year OF her
death.
there was no immediate cause for
he. suicide. Although she had suS-
tanned some family losses she was not
especially depressed on that account
The only reason for her strange self
Northumberland one that was con-
sidered sufficient by those who knew
her best-was her increasing inability
to ind any Joy in existence.

And yet many mothers who want to
