IL they were only taught how to
write letters. No girl should be
given a diploma unless she can sat
isfactorily prove that she has ac-
quired the gentle art of writing the
various notes demanded by the
exigencies of civilized society.
Fourth - How to talk. The idea
of teaching a girl how to talk may
sound like carrying Goals to New
castle, but If / could only teach d
girl one thing on earth l would
have her acquire q conversational
repertoire that would be sufficient
to meet all of the ordinary emer-
gencies of life.
Every Woman Should Learn to Speak
And Behave With Natural Grace
A girl should be just as much
ashamed of making blunder In
what she says to people as she
would be of making Il grammatical
blunder in the way she says 1T. Yet
the majority of girls were aptiy de-
scrfbed by the Irishman who said
of a woman that she never opened
her mouth without putting her foot
in it.
A girl should be taught the art of
gracious speech-how to be fiatter-
ingly deferential to old people, and
sweet and gentle to children, how to
pay compliment delicately without
wholesale laying on of fiattery, and
above all, how to receive a compli-
ment with modest appreciation.
have heard girls who. when any

herself and the most of the money
she has to spend. And the poorer
the girl is the more she needs this
branch of education.
The Eleventh Commandment For
Women Is To BE AS Pretty as
They Can
1t is a womans religious duty. to
be as good looking as she can.
When God made her a thing of
gracious curves. when he gave her
the glory of long hair. and painted
the roses on her cheeks, He in
tended her to adorn life, and 1T is
just as much her mission to do this
as 1t is to do anything else.
Now 1t is true that not every
woman can be beautiful but no
one need be hideousiy ugly if she
will take the trouble to dress prop
erly. The simplest frock may be
chosen of q pretty color and made
on lovely lines, the cheapest shirt
waist may be put on properly in
stead of hit-or-misS.
For the woman wLo is frowsy
and untidy, for the woman whose
skirts hike up In front and down In
the back. whose belt and skirt miss
connection. and the various colors
of whose raiment swear at each
other, no excuse can be made. She
is an eyesore to man. a blot on the
landscape, and she has frustrated
the plan for which she was made,
The remedy for this is education.
and 1t is far more important that a
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-12-21

one made a nice speech to them,
How much do you want for that?"
a remark that should have sent
them back to the kindergarten class
in feeble minded institute, or else
relegated them to the Home for
Incurable Doors.
Fifth - How to be graceful in their
department. For q man to clump
into a room like a bull in a china
shop is bad enough, but for q wo-
man 1t is unforgivable. A woman
who cannot walk without knocking
things down, who cannot touch your
bTic-a-brac without smashing 1t, who
does not handle old china as If it
were newborn babe, or touch fine
books as IL she loved them, is q
monstrosity
A woman should be able to
walk without making noise to
move without Earring things, to sit
without sprawiing or wriggiing, to
be. In short, q joy to the senses
instead of an irritation to the
nerves, and IL she isn't taught this.
no matter what else she knows,
her education is incomplete.
Sixth - How to dress. This
doesn't mean to make her a fash
ion plate, one of the poor crea-
lures whose brains are cut on the
bias and shirred in the middle, but
to teach her how to dress in ordi-
nary, everyday sort of things so
that she shall make the best of

- Is not TO be borne with patience.
n Well Written Letter, With Words
Spelled Correctly, Is A Mark of
AhtIftx


Most of us are aware that neitL er
we nor our friends know how TO
read, and so we would no more
think of asking casual acouaint-
ances to read aloud to us than we
would ask for an air from grand
opera: Yet there is no other ac-
complishment in the world more
to be desired than the ability. to
read aloud.
Second - Where she would be
taught to spell. There may be no
credit, as has been said, in spelling
weli but 1t is certainly disgraceful for
Z lady to spell badly.
Third - TO write. The hallmark
or cultivated lady - the supreme
test of savoir faire - is Knowing
low to write a charming letter and
graceful note. Half of the time
when we send little gift to a girl.
or when some sorrow or Joy comes
TO us. we are treated by her with
unpardonabte rudeness. No line
OF thanks, no word of conEratuIa-
uon or sympathy reaches us from
her. and the reason of 1t is not
that she is lacking in poIiteness or
good feeling, but simply that sh
doesn't know how to write a letter.
The time that girls spend in
school composing laborious essays
could be so much better employed

TEACH GIRLS MORE

BY DOROTHY DIX

While they are talking about voca-

somebody would start school where
they would teach girl:
First-To read. Not to eiocute
Not to recite LITTLE M-a-a-bie with
Her F-a-ace Against the Window
P-a-a-ane or "Curfew Shall Not
Ring Tonight" but to read intelli-
gently, sympathetically, delightfully."-.
in the refined. cultivated speaking
voice that is the most beautiful
music in the world,
The art of reading aloud has be-
come a lost art. and not one person
In thousand can read even a para
grapn from the daily paper without
1t being an affiietion so great that
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-12-21

girl should be taught to have some
sense of color and value of lines,
and given some knowledge of how
to dress herself properly than it is
that she should be given a smatter-
ing of the ologies and isms.
In short. don't you wish you
knew of some school to which you
could send your daughter where
she could be taught the accomplish
ment of being a lady? And isn't that
about the highest education that you
can give to any girl?

JAMES |. BARGER

James Barger is known by every voter in Missouri township, and and what we say here about him will not add to his running ahili- ty. for it is a we'll known fact that Jim Barger made one of the best officers this township ever had. He has served in this ca pacity before and he has served as deputy sheriff and the word fear is not in his vocabulary.
 He has the reputation of being kind and just to prisoners and at the same time commanding their respect. He never had a jail de- livery while he had charge of that business. If you elect Jim Barger to this office, you will have a sure enough constable. One that will appreciate it and attend to the duties of the office.
 Remember Jim Barger when you go to vote for constable.

You will find in the regular column for announcements the name of A. M. Denman for the office of County and probate Judge subject to the democratic primary.
 MT. Denman served the people of this county as county judge several years ago and made a good, safe and business judge. He was economical in his admin istration and gave his entire time to the duties of that important office. Mir Denman built our new court house which is a credit to any county of much greater pop ulation. While Mir. Denman was county Judge scrip was worth dollar for dollar.
 We are sure that MT Denman has the ability to make you a good and safe Judge and one that will look after the interest of the County. He is quite a good roads enthusiast and will do every thing in his power and with the funds that will be at his disposal to i'm. prove the conditions of the roads of this county.
 Mr. Denman will appreciate your vote in this contest anC will see you if possible before the primary.
