Now is the day Of all sorts of service
suits-overettes. war overalls. coat and
breeches, mountain suits and others
that mark the departures of women in

kinds Of convenient clothes for outdoor
and even for indoor wear. Meantime

house dress Is a service suit that shows
no sign Of losing Its popularity.

The advantage of leaving the design

in that line Of work is apparent.
They are less apt to make mistakes

the workrooms Of manufacturers Of

BUILDS CHARACTER OF CHILD
kindergarten One Of the Most Valuable
Features In the Scheme Of
Education.

Kindergarten methods. whether be-
gun by the mother In her own home or
by the trained teacher In school, are
Of inestimable value to the child, for
character building Is always made their
principal aim and object.
Perhaps mothers may not have been
trained In kindergarten methods, but
at least they can learn how to tell .
story. Anyone can read story. but
telling one Is much more effective and
much more enjoyable to the child. Ev-
cry mother should learn how to tell
story. Use your own words and
choose simple and forceful ones. A
bare plot is Interesting to the tiny
child, but many details should be sup
piled for the older boy and girl; they
love them. Use direct discourse when
possible. Be enthusiastic. Be dra-
matte. After the story Is finished. talk
1t over freely with the children. Choose
some stories which teach kindness to
animals and some which give training
In morals or good habits, but never
point the moral.
A taste for best literature can often
Dc Aotueu la carly SAIiuhOOu tuIOuSh
a wise choice Of stories. This Is also
true of music. The songs and music
used In the kindergarten are always
carefully selected by the Kindergarten
and should be Just as carefully selected
for the home by mothers. Allow your
children to hear only the best.
Besides story telling and music. there
We also pictures. Those which inter-
est the child most show action and
movement. Pictures are helpful be-
cause they develop the imagination and
arouse the creative faculties.
Games also aid In the great work of
character building. They help to de-
velop self-expression and originality
and can also be used to teach self-help-
fulness toward others. Through games
children may be made to discover the
evil effects of self-will and the good
resulting from self-cOntrol.
Play story with your child. See
how attentive he will be and what
powers Of self-expression he possesses.

blocks on Union boulevard the other
night with an AngGra cat as its only
occupant, the kitten apparently having
started the machine while Ii was

The coupe travelled south. ran into

unit, Clark got out of his own car and
climbed into the coupe, turning off the
power In the latter. When he got in
the kitten got out.
Rice told the police that the kitten
was not his and must have crawled
into the machine after he had left 1t.
1t is possible for cat to start an cleo
trio If the switch is not thrown out.
The only movement necessary is the
pushing of lever at the side of the
drivers seat. A cat playing on the seat
