Parent-Teachcrs Meeting.


A very good representative gather
| ing of parents and teachers we've pre-
sent at the meeting OF the Parent
Teachers Association held Tuesday
evening at the High school. Rev. DR..
Davidson of Escanaba, Mich, gave a
VERY interesting talk on the Boy Scout
movement, aud plans were made to
favor the movement in Wauwatosa.
under the direction of Mr.. Ioar. This
address was followed by quite gem
eral discussion.
Mr.. IIoar invited everybody inter-
ested to attend camp fire meeting to
be held in the woods this Friday even
ing.
There was an interesting discussion
on the subject, SHOULD military train
ing be introduced into the Wauwatosa
High School" The points of military
training or preparedness were not
Etouched upon in this discussion, the
thoughts being centered along the line
Of the moral side of military training,
and the concensus of opinion was that
it could be made very helpful in oar
! school, from the moral standpoint
alone and was worthy of further de-
velopment. The spirit OF helpfulness
aud thoughtfuiBess for others would
be strongly impressed on the mind of
the student by such training, to say
nothing of the moral strength received
personally by the student, No recon-
mendations were made to the board of
leducation as to this training being
adopted in the school, but three MEM
bers of the board were present and
took partin the discussion.
An interesting report was given by
the visiting committee, who recom-
mended that the fire protection of
both the grades and the high school
be given attention, as the protection
of both buildings was found to be in
adequate
The next meeting of the association
will be held on May 2, when there will
be an exhibition of what progress
moral training has made in the Wan
watosa schools, the same to be in
charge of Prof Kolb.

THE girl who prepares for an early
 vacation must plan clothes for weather quite different, from those she would need were she going away dur ing August. For this reason cotton and the lighter dresses should be re- placed by sports clothes V sweater. skirt and shirt waists. Her evening dress should be of silk instead of net or any of the thinner fabrics. as they might be later in the season.
 Sweaters may be purchased ready made at small prices if one has time to shop and look for the broken lines. for the regular priced sweater is 8 very expensive affair and one must do quite a little shopping to get the right sweat CT at the right price. The best looking and the most serviceable garments are those knit of Shetland wool, with. per- haps. a border of white, with a belt across the back to match the border. These are very good looking with a skirt made of ratine or gaberdine. Gab- erdine comes in awning stripes. in green and white, blue and white or. in fact, any color combination desired, and any one of these are effective and styl- ish. The material should be shrunk before it is made to insure it's future behavior, and three widths would be sufficient to make any of the skirts. It is pretty to use the material straight and to plait it at the top so that the stripes form solid color at the belt line, letting the skirt fly below. One may. also stitch the plaits six or eight inches below the waist line or hold in the folds,, if desired, over the hips by patch pockets in any of the many fash ionable shapes.

 It must be borne in mind that in buying bathing suit material only the imported satin can be relied upon to withstand the wear and tear of salt
 water and the sun, and it will be nec-
 essary to buy a good quality. The
 heavier the satin the better it will
 withstand the water. and the invest ment will be, in the end. a profitable one There is material called silk
 serge, loo sey woven silk very much like serge, which is thick and wears well under all conditions. This is not
 so stifr as satin and will fray in ham, ding. It would be well to French all the seams in any bathing suit for they will fray out, and even binding will not hold them in place.
 Of the two bathing suits illustrated
 one is black and blue satin combined, a
 pointed tunic over drop skirt. Mar
 row, lacing over the V front is a new
 detail. The four cornered hat is made
 of the same materials as the suit. The other model takes black taffeta as a fabric and is cut princess fashion. The saucy hem is piped with white in points like the V neck, and a gay ban
 danna kerchief, affords the cap. Speaking of caps, the one pictured is a waterproof satin in vivid green with white buttons, piped crown and wings as trimming.

60 IN FOR PADS

FADS have been drowned upon and
 laughed at, but fad has often caused woman to forget mental and physical ills.
 The strongest hearted of us at times become discouraged and weary. Life for very many of us is made up of very many commonplace things-the same work from day to day. the same associates. the same surroundings. and the woman who has lost her first youth yet must keep her place in the vast commercial arena should have. indeed must have. some interests outside of her work.
 Do not feel embarrassed if your friends should hear you have gone in for a fad" Go right ahead. regardless of their criticism. The woman who belittles another tired woman who takes up fad is generally very much in need of adopting one herself.
 Anything that serves any kind of le- gitimate purpose is most commendable. and any little fad that will help to make woman stronger. either men, tally or physically, is far more than it's name infers-it is in all truth a bless ing in disguise. s

How to Launder Tub Brooks

broidery is smoothed into shape and pressed in with the iron. Work in small sections for best results. Sleeves are ironed after frills. Collars are next iroped. Begin tho waist at one hem and work around to the opposite hem. If there are gathers work the point of the iron well into them. Always iron on mark thread when it is possible. Never iron on the diagonal.
 The skirt trimmings are ironed be- fore the skirt Is placed over the board, when they are narrow, trimmings. Deep fiounces are ironed like separate skirts. The main part of the skirt may be ironed first when the hounces cover it entirely.
 When ironing with an electric or gas iron with a cord attached arrange the cord to fall to the back of the board land let the work progress from the front of the board toward the back. Turn the ironed portion to the front of the board to avoid mussing. Every part of the gown must be ironed per fectly dry as you work. When the garment dries too much to iron well dampen with a soft white cloth dipped in cold water and squeeze we'll. If wrinkles are made dampen them and iron them. out. A good ironer does not make wrinkles because she smooths each part on the board. using both hands. before she sets the iron on the cloth. It is then easy to push the iron oyer that portion. Care must be used in regulating the heat of the iron.
 When the gown is finished it must be taken from the board tarefully and placed on g coat hanger. It should be hung in draft of fresh dry air to make it sweet, and then inclosed in a closet free from dust and damp. This will keep it crisp. Gowns laundered in this way will never need to be bleached They will retain the quality of white of new ma terfal
