Considering BIouses for Spring

If you have considered blOuses for
the coming spring you already know
that feminine allegiance Is divided be-
tween the skirted blouse and our older
friend that merely reaches to the waist
line. The skirted blouse, appearing
first with a short peplum, has met
with an enthusiastic welcome, and
now we have the Russian blouse, in
many developments, the chemise blouse,
and many overblOuses, all covering
half the length Of the figure. But the
practical blOuse-the shirtwaist OF 9TH
er days (modified for the hOuse)-
goes serenely on its way, which leads
it into every wardrobe.
Blouses of today, If well made. are
higher priced than they were. Inex-
pensive ones are attractively designed
but poorly made, and the woman OF
refined taste must either reconcile her.
self to paying higher prices or make
her blouses at home; she cannot
reconcile herself to the poor work on
the cheaper ready-made articles.
Two new models are shown In the
picture. One is of yellow Organdie,
finished at the edges with black In
machine-made buttOnhole stitching. AS
in the majority Of new models, the
hack and front are set on to straight

pockets to relieve the plainness Of the

either establish the rule that the child

the child with the models that we
should not fear to have copied. We

elders but forbidden to children, and
that which is permitted to all, or the
cultivation of a wholesome atmosphere

give expression to their feelings, re-
strained only by what they learn OF
genuine respect and courtesy.
In many cases what appears as dis
respect or worse is merely an indica-
ton of ignorance or crudeness. This
was illustrated by little boy of four,
whose violent jumping on rickety
stair was interrupted by his cautious
grandmother. When the old lady's back
was turned the child whispered to his
brother, Don't you wish she was
dead?" This was a scandalous thing
to hear, and under other circum-
stances a child saying anything like
that would have been mercilessly
chastised But in this case, as in
many others, there was neither malice
in the child's feelings nor understand
ing his mind. In all good faith he
wished the disturbing grandmother be-
yond good and evil. A child needs In
a case of this kind not reprOOf or pun
ishment, but enlightenment. He must
learn the remOter meanings and i'm
plications of the words he uses. and
he must learn to speak Discriminatory.
Whether the undesirable modes of
expression that We commonly call I'M
pudence are the results Of initiating
bad models, or the results OF unre-
strained freedom Of expression. our
remedies are not to be sought in en-
forced silence. 1t Is we'll for us to
know first of all what the sources OF
the impudence are. and then deal with
these. We cannot always regulate In
advance the language and manners OF
the associates of our children, but we
can do a great deal to make the home
impressions what they ought to be.
And 1t is better for us to know just
what the children think and feel and
improve their thoughts and feelings
than to foster hatred and hypocrisy
under the cloak Of decOrum.

Is Of great value in the medical world
so much so that the chief countries
are producing it at government expense

Now comes the announcement of an
other valuable discovery i'm the scien-

that has marvellous curative proper
ties, one that may revolutionize GER
tain phases of the healing art. 1t Is
called the Simpson ray, and may be
considered one of the war monsters
gifts to humanity In compensation for
millions Of lives destroyed.
Sometime ago, William Simpson, a
Scotch physics engineer, was expert

Civilization has harnessed this in

some extent, but electricity is con-

pass that while Simpson was expert
menting one of those puzzling things
happened, and the Simpson ray was
discovered, to be named after its dis
cOverer.

newspaper woman. was in London not

Simpson at his laboratory. Here il
