FIND CHILDREN A PROBLEM
Education of Youngsters of the Mo-
hammedan Moros Engaging Earn
est Attention of Americans.

The industrial training of the chill
dren Of the Mohammedan Moros IN
the Philippines is a matter OF vital I'M
portance as regards their prospects for
the future. The ignorance of the peo-
pie is so dense, their customs SO
uncouth and their ideas of life so untu-
tored that a child has but a poor
chance at best. Up to the present the
government has done little to educate
the Moro, but what has been accom-
plished among the savage mountain
tribes elsewhere in the Philippines en-
courages the belief that equal effort
will meet with equal success among
the Moros. Bishop Brent writes: "A
wave of hpoelessness sweeps over one
when confronted by mass Of Moro or
pagan adults. But it is not so with
their children. They are as impress
sionable, as appealing, as lovable as
any children of any color in the whole
world. You can see the latent intelli-
genec in their eyes; the skill resident
in their slender, sensitive fingers; the
power in their comely, half-clad or
wholly naked bodies. Only oppor-
tunity is lacking, and that we must
supply or be guilty in the sight of
heaven"

FASHION HINTS

The schoolgirls dress should have
pockets because they are both practi.
cal and fashionable.
Little girls dresses show plain-col.
ored belted blouses worn over plaid
killed skirts.
Day gowns are relieved from dull.
ness by chiffon sleeves and pretty
neckties.
One of the few military influences
in feminine attire that seems likely
to be accorded any sound recognition
is the tartan skirt.
Chiffon sleeves seem to be as much
as ever in favor for fall dresses.
Odd velvet coats will be worn with
cloth or rep serge skirts.
Slashed cloth skirts over velvet or
silk are a charming fsshion.
White organdie has been and still
is in great favor.
Short pulled and long full sleeves
are a feature of afternoon and eve
ming toilets.
Hat trimmings are often fatty ap-
piled. sometimes almost appliqued, un-
less in the use of wings, perky bows
and coque pompons.
Among the new tweeds, suhdued
plaids and checks are most in favor.

CERTAIN REWARD OF VANITY
Sturdy Farmer of Jeffersonian SIM

He was one of those stubborn young
men who carry out their own ideas
of consequences, and when
he left the farm to engage in the liv-
cry business in a nearby town, con-
trary to the wishes Of his father, the
first thing he did was to have a
many-colored sign painted, represent
ing himself holding mule by the
bride.
One day his father, sturdy old
farmer of the Jeffersonian simplicity
type, came to town, and the son in
showing him about the stable, proud
ly pointed to the sign:

SMITH HAD THE WRONG IDEA
Easy to Imagine Large Volume of Mu-
sic Was Made by Hands and Feet,
but Not by Ear Alone.

One evening Smith jitneyed to the
suburbs to call on his friend Jones,
and while they were sitting on the
veranda enjoying their after-dinner
ragweed large volumes Of music
broke loose in the adjacent bunga-
low.
Some music" commented Smith,
glancing through the firefiies to the
scenery beyond. who might the
performer be?"
1T is my neighbor Green" an
swered Jones. And would you believe
that he plays by ear alone?"
81 would not" was the prompt re-
5oinder of Smith. ct can easily
imagine that he might make that
much noise by using both hands and
feet and an ak, but you can't make me
believe that he does it by banging the
side of his head on the keys. "-Phila-

DRESSES FOR EVENING
DEcoLLETE GOWNS MUCH WORN
IN FRANCE.
Best Partisan Designers Have Been
Giving Their Attention to This Glass
of Costume-Feather Trimming
on Evening Nantes.

All the great dreSSmakerS of Paris
say that for France and England they
are making, just now, very few regu-
lar evening dresses. On this side of
the water demi-evening toilets are the
only thing demanded. But these demi-
evening dresses are real works of art,
writes Idalia de Villiers, Paris CORE
spondent of the Boston Globe.
They are, in fact, very much the
same style Of dress that the lovely
women Of past centuries wore at great
dinner parties and even balls. 1t is
only of late years, comparatively, that
decollete gowns, with no sleeves, have
been worn at dinner parties.
Our grandmothers would have said
that such gowns were only suitable
for court balls. we have had a great
many sartoriaf changes in the last fifty
years. Nowadays decollete gowns are
worn even at ordinary theaters. The
pictures are being copied by leading
dressmakers.
These gowns nearly always show a
tunic or pannier, and many of them
have sets of narrow, gathered f1ounces
at the hem of the full skirt. These
f1ounces are headed by set rosettes
made of silver ribbon, or by little gar
lands of chiffon or satin roses.
On some of Doucet's new models l
have seen borders of fine feather trim
ming. This is revival of an old and
worry popular fashion. The feathers
are only slightly curled and the trim
ming is about three inches wide. One
model which specially pleased me was
made Of pale shell-pink crepe de chine
and the overdress, in fourreau FORM
was bordered with pearl gray feather
trimming.
There were pearl gray silk embroid-
cries on the border of the overdress
and also on the corsage and at the
hem of the skirt there was a deep
fringe of gray crystal beads. Another
model of the same order was made of
f1ame-red Grape, with a border of fine
black feathers and delicate embroid-
cries in jet and dull gold on the front
of the skirt.
l have also seen feather trimming

PAY ATTENTION TO DIET
Arrange Her Daily Meals With
the Utmost Care.

The girl who is inclined by nature
toward stoutness must diet vigorously
in order to keep her weight down and
must beware and take care if she does
not wish to be overtaken by the dread
ed flesh.
If a girl belongs to family OF
heavyweights, but is herself sufficient
ly slim for her size, she need not con-
graduate herself too soon on her sylph-
like shape but should keep on the
sharp lookout for any increase in size.
Once she begins to grow stouter she
will be amazed to see how rapidly her
weight increases.
At the first signs of hateful fat the
girl should begin vigorous CAM align
against the enemy, before she is abb
solutely conquered by it.
The first and most powerful weapon
to use in this warfare against flesh are
diet and exercise. The diet should
eliminate all sweets tcakes, candies,
desserts. sodas, sugar in tea or coffee,
etc.,; all starchy foods (rice, white
bread, potatoes, beans, peas, etc.. and
all fatty foods (cream, milk, choco-
late, etc.. However. it is great mis-
take to cut down too much on the
amount of food, for it only produces
weakness.
Another point about the diet is
this: 1t is better to take three slim
meals. consisting of mountaineering
foods. than to eat only one meal day.
In which enough is eaten to make up
for four other meals. A great many
women follow this form of dieting,
