MAKES HANDY WRITING PAD
Useful Little Gift, Suitable for Man
or Woman, Can Easily Be Made
by Amateur

Here is. handy suggestion for
birthday gift which should be highly
appreciated, for the gift will do for
either a man or woman. A portable
writing pad will prove quite useful to
the person who has no writing desk in
her room, and will be more than valu-
able to the transient person. The
beauty about this particular writing
pad is that it can be easily made by
the amateur.
First Of all cut 15-fnch circle from
stiff cardboard. Cut the circle in half,
laying the halves about an inch apart,
the straight or diameter edges facing
each other. Now cover each half with
two circular pieces of cretonne or
denim. You see, the space between
the cut edges will make it possible to
fold the pad. The cretonne or denim
can be pasted to the pasteboard semi
circles or their edges can be whipped
together. 1t will be necessary to stitch
the material along the straight edges
of the half circles so that the paste
board will not slip. On the inside OF
each semicircle stitch material to form
pockets for envelopes, writing paper,

TRIMMINGS.

Trimming, always of paramount im~
portance, is very interesting this au-
tumn and is as varied as the winds.
Here are some of its striking phases:
Worth uses ostrich for trimming
evening gowns and, of course, many
American dressmakers have followed
suit.
Brocade is much used for trimming
afternoon and evening frocks.
Embroidery in Chinese and Japanese
style is much employed, especially for
blouses and evening wraps.
Real lace is used again for trim-
ming and will probably grow in favor.
We may see a return of Irish lace to
the place it held half a dozen years
ago.
Wool embroidery is much used on
frocks of serge, and silk and bead en-
broideries are also used.
A good deal of fur is used for TRIM
ming. 1t takes the form of hens and
wide bands on the skirt and of buttons
and cuffs on the bodice.

In many cases it is desirable to have elections
much more frequently.
Several schoolroom governments may be
joined in school state and several states in
school national government to look after matters
which pertain to the whole school. 1t is possible
and practicable to go still further, and join these
school national governments in federation AS
has been said previously, let us reiterate The
teacher helps the pupils to become Independent
in solving their social and civic problems as he
does the problems of mathematics Each pupil
is continually exercised in independent thinking,
judicial conclusion and immediate action. To take
the initiative soon becomes habitual. Co=opera-
ton for every good purpose is developed and
team work becomes the ordinary practice. The
teachers authority is not weakened but strength
ened by the cooperation of the pupils in their
democratic republic.
Teachers Should Cooperate.
eff we were to look upon this matter as if 1t
were mill, the mill would serve purpose I'M
less it should have grist to grind and in this case
the grist is the government of the childrens con-
duct to suggest useful and constructive activi-
ties for the good of each child and the communi-
ty of pupils and Of the entire community of which
the children are part. The pupils time, minds
and energies being fully occupied doing right con-
structive things, the amount Of wrongdoing drops
to an almost negligible quantity. What there is
of this is dealt with by the children in their own
courts much more effectually than is possible by
any other means in the reach of the teachers,
even if corporal punishment is permitted, which
is prohibited by law in some places.
SIT is not to be supposed that the children can
handle these social and civic problems without
the same kind Of interest and assistance by the
teachers that is necessary for success In any
other school work that the teachers can
make the best use of this laboratory method of
moral and civic training without the co-opera.
ton of the children's parents and until the
teachers have become well accustomed to the
new method, they need the suggestions Of one
who has had large experience in its use. Y
co-ordinates With Other Studies.
"Does this not add another burden to the
teachers already too heavy load? No. It en-
cages the cooperation Of the pupils to help the
teachers bear their burdens. Does it take the
time of a recitation each day or once week :?
No. but it co-ordinates with other studies such as
English civics and history and is that good spirit
which proves to be a lubricant for all Rotations
for all the machinery of the school, and releases
the teachers from police duty, enabling them to
give their whole time, strength and nervous force
to teaching uninterrupted by misconduct and in
attention Relieved of the ordinary pull on the
nerves and drain of ones vital strength, helping
the children to develop their own character and
to use the tools and processes of education for
their own salvation, the teachers work becomes
exhilarating and JOY.

coIFFUREs ARE PLAIN, THOUGH
or REAL ELEGANCE.
Bandeau of Cut Jet Is a Particularly
Handsome Ornament for One Form
Pretty Arrangement of
Girls Hair.

It is now the fashion to dress the
hair, in the evening, very simply and
very close to the head at the sides.
Artificial waves are not considered
at all correct, nevertheless the hair is
waved slightly, and very skillfully.
The idea is that these large loose
waves should be perfect imitation
of natures best work, writes Idalia de
Villiers, Paris correspondent of the
Boston Globe.
A couture with cut jet bandeau
was copied from a portrait belonging
to the directoire period. At the sides
the hair clings to the head, but at the
back it is raised high over an invis-
ible frame. Then the handsome ban
deau of cut jet is passed right round
the head and pressed well down on the
forehead in front.
TO add to the early Josephine effect
there is a little string of cut jet
passed under the chin.
I have seen a similar headdress
made of seed pearls, transparency set,
with real diamond barettes at the sides
and string az valuable pearls to form
the chin strap. 1t was a very beautiful
ornament
My skom.h shows a pretty couture
for a yoang girl. Here the hair is
made to look as though it had been
cut short and curled. This effect was
obtained by clever manipulation Of
the long hair at the back and sides, the
twisted in ends being held in place BY
curved hairpins.
The side parting is more fashionable
than ever, and some of our Partisan
beauties are having their hair dressed
in the picturesque style which was as
ISOLATED with the beautiful actress,
Mrs. Brown Potter, % years ago, that
is to say, the side parting, with the
hair-perfectly smooth-allowed to
fall in a careless flop" on the fore

cardboard; mark out a shape slightly
larger than the scissors with a pencil.
Cut this out, then cut three pieces of
silk or sateen; line the cardboard with
two of them, the third piece will need
little cutting off In the front at the
top, as shown; neatly buttonhole the
edges. Sew the pocket to the back
shape neatly ;. if liked, thin cord the
same shade as the silk can be put
round.
On the pocket two or three little
flowers can be embroidered or painted.
A bow of ribbon is put on the back
so that the case will hang. up. This
case will prove most useful, for not
only can the scissors always be found,
but it protects the steel, which is so
easily affected by any change in the
atmosphere and often becomes rusty
if left without cover.
