More Women Dentists,

Dentistry as a profession may have
few attractions generally. especially
for women. Nevertheless, it does af-
ford steady and, in many cases, highly
remunerative work, candidates for
which cannot but be reduced in num-
ber by the exigencies Of the war. A
certain branch Of dental work known
as dental mechanics offers a field
which seems peculiarly suited to wom-
en-. or, at any rate, to those who have
the natural dexterity and fineness of
touch usually possessed by them.
Dental mechanics do not. Of course,
extend their training to the surgical
side Of their undertaking, though
those qualifying as dental surgeons
have to be adequately expert me-
chanics-the greater includes the less.
here as elsewhere-but the work is
fairly lucrative and distinctly regular,
SO that 1t seems certain that more and
more Of 1t will fall into the hands Of
competent women in the future.

Nature Study.

In the study Of nature do not try to
teach too much in one lesson. Notice
first the characteristic features and
qualities Of whatever Is under discus
sion; let the child examine the object
II possible; remember that children
are more interested In what things do
than In their form.
Let the child examine little plant,
seed and all. Lead him to observe
that 1t does something. It pushes Its
roots and its stem up; 1t eats and
drinks, breathes, sleeps and wakes. It
makes things: Leaves and flowers.
seed and fruits. Incidentally, notice
the form and color that these activi-
ties give to each individual plant.
Nature study need not be dull or diff
ficult; 1t provides plenty Of life and ac-
tion. 1t Is mostly our own interest
that is dead. or our senses that need
quickening.
Grasp few fundamental principles
and nature study In the home, in the
kindergarten and in the school. will be-
come the children's delight. the teach
er's friend, and occupation for the
nursery to help start the youngsters
In busy work, daily delight when

ORIGIN OF COUNTRY FAIR
lts Establishment o Can Be Clearly
Traced to m Ancient Religious
Custom.

The country fair owes its origin to
an ancient religious custom. In early
days. when Englismen observed saints
days, q crowd Of worshipers and pill
grims would assemble within the pre-.
cincts Of the church or abbey during
the festival Of a popular saint. To
supply the wants Of the throng, tents
were pitched, and stalls for provisions
set up In the churchyard. Peddlers
and traders found many customers
among the worshipers. and in course
Of time these pious assemblies became
marts Of trade. and were known as
''fairs."
Many odd customs associated with
fairs illustrate the social life of other
days. The opening Of fairs in many
towns was announced by hoisting a
large glove In a conspicuous place. In
the event Of a law forbidding the hold
ing of fair without royal permission.
the king would send his glove to the
town as q token Of his consent.
In Liverpool, hand was exhibited
in front of the town hall ten days be-
fore and after each fair day. to signify
that no person coming to or going
from the fair might be arrested for
debt within the towns precincts.
At Paignton fair, Exeter, an i'm
mense plum pudding was drawn
through the town by four yoke Of oxen
and afterward distributed for the
crowd. Its Ingredients were: 400
pounds of flour. 40 pounds Of beef
suet, 40 pounds Of raisins and 240
eggs. 1t was boiled in brewers cop
per for three days and nights.

NARROW DRESS TO DOMINATE
Advance Note From Paris Is That
There Will Be Enough Variation
to Afford Choice for All Types.

| Word comes from the French cap
ital that while the narrow dress styles
will dominate the spring season, there
will be enough variation to afford
choice for all types Of women. For
one thing, the inclination will be to
keep the sides straight and to mass the
fullness-if such 1t can be called
down the front and the back.

fed Always the 'period" dress at
tracts the designer, because 1t usually
has some romantic or historical sig
nificance which helps to feed the i'm
agination and to make Che replica
more beautiful even in its application
to the modern woman.
In model which has a skirt made Of
cream-colored lace flOunces. There Is
sort Of tunic arrangement looped up
at the sides which serve to impart an
old-time effect
With this skirt is shown fitted
basque Of two-tone blue grosgrain
taffetas. The material Is extended be-
low the waistlina for about four inches
and is slightly rippled. The tiny waist
coat effect Of the lace Is decorated with
miniature bows OF blue velvet ribbon,
and this ornamentation appears like
wise on the elbow sleeves. The neck
is suuare-cut In accordance with the
modes Of the time of Marie Antoin-
cite.
To be perfectly consistent, dress
OF this type must be accompanied by
a hat Of the same period. Such a hat
Is made of lace on wire frame which
has the enthusiastically up-turned
brim at the back and which Is trimmed
with tiny wreaths Of pink flowers and
green foliage.
Lone streamers Of very narrow black
velvet ribbon fall down the back. or
may be carried forward over one shout

lines are susceptible Of development
in other materials besides lace and
silk, although one finds their best me-
