Just what will happen next to sports
clothes is a fascinating subject for
speculation. The new weaves in silk
have intrigued them into beautiful ex-
travagances, and other unusual fabrics
have lent them originality. All sorts
Of materials, from leather to cricket
flannel, with a company Of sturdy
woolens forming their main depend

pendent. Cleverness Is at premium,
nothing Is considered erratic and there
are sports clothes and sports clothes (;
some Of them for actual sports wear
and some of them merely versions Of
sport styles.
For actual sports wear, coats and
skirts of wool, or heavy cotton, are
plain and cut on boyish lines. Skirts
wide enough and patch pockets big
enough are their sensible outstanding
features. The sweater and sweater

appear, entitled to more service

ChiIdren'S Minds Should Be
Stored With Pictures They
Can Describe in Own Words

Memorizing is worthy mental exer-
else; but one can hardly help protest
ing against the practice, now happily
less common than in years within
memory, of compelling young children
to commit to memory tasks actually
painful either from their impossible
length or from their uninteresting and
unintelligible matter. The good prac-
tice of a pleasurable habit of learning
by heart suitable quantity Of suitable
matter has suffered from natural re-
action; but we are now returning to
better things, and we are convinced
that there are few efforts more pleas
ant to children than the consciousness
Of having committed to memory a
suitable task, that is, Of having formed
clear and complete picture of some
interesting subject.
Do not let the time pass for storing
your scholars minds with an abun-
dance of distinct pictures, which they
can represent to their own minds and
describe in their own. words.-A
Teacher.

How Light Changes Shape
of Pupil of Eye of Both
Animal and the Human

Nothing is more deceptive than the
appearance of cats eye. The pupil
ordinarily appears as long, narrow
oval or a vertical black line, yet its
natural shape is circular. It is matter
Of the effect Of light. In bright light
our pupils become very small circles,
while those of cat turn into ovals or
narrow Sits. The general effect is the
same in either case-namely, to di-
minish the quantity Of light passing
into the eye. Curiously enough, in the
larger animals of the cat tribe, such
as tigers, the pupil sometimes behaves
exactly like human pupil, and when
brightly Illuminated contracts into a
minute circle instead Of becoming
linear. In the case of domestic cats,
the older the animal the more fire.
quently does the pupil of the eye as
sumo circular form.

It takes considerable discrimination
to choose suits for girls who are not
quite grown up or for those who are
grown, but still in their teens. 1t Is
not half so simple a matter as it
seems, to express youth by varying the
cut and finish of garments just
enough to take them out of the young
woman class and place them in the
young girl company. Generally, in
suits, this is accomplished by making
coats vague as to fit and simple as to
line and by following current fashions,
as becomes youth, at distance. The
two suits presented in the picture are
examples of good designing to meet
the needs of the miss from fourteen
to nineteen, and they are recommends
ed for young women who affect youth
full styles, providing their figures are
girlish enough to suit these models.
Jersey cloth, serge, duvetyn or any
Of the standard suitings Will make the
smart suit shown at the left OF the
picture successfully, but the firmer
weaves appear to be the best choice
for misses suits. This one is OF beige
co:ored serge trimmed with rows Of
narrow silk braid to match and insets
Of navy blue taffeta. The skirt is no
ticeably wider than those in vogue for
older women and is gathered in at the
waistline. Five short bands OF braid
in rows at each side simulate pockets.
The coat in this suit hangs from
the shoulders in lines that are straight

in many gay and brilliant cClors.
At the left of the picture very
handsome suit reveals plated skirt
Of silk In which plain satin stripe
and crepe stripe alternate, the satin
stripe in white and the other in light
green. The jacket, Of white taffeta,
has quilted pattern on the collar and
cuffs, and forming border at the bot
tom, having the stitching done in green
silk thread. Stitching covers the mar
row belt and defines the pocket, prov
ing very original and beautiful en-
bellishment.
Roshanara crepe makes the unusual
dress at the right Of the picture. It
has a straight panel at the back but
achieves the effect of loose cut-away
coat at the front, with flaring sleeves
that are split up the back. Crepe
georgette is used III facings that ex-
tend beyond the edges Of the sleeves
and coat drapery. 1t took audacity
to add sash Of the same material as
the dress, to this design, bat it Is here
and vindicates It's presence by finish
ing perfectly smart and comfortable

Indian Talk Was Too Much

of it:

Yank, who was in charge Of com

at the front and little faring at the
sides and back. In this particular
suit a deep cape collar replaces the
small turnover that is so youthful,
worn with tie Of silk, for the young
er girls. But smaller collar would
not admit an inlay of taffeta such as
finishes this one. The braid on the
sleeves is put on in rows but not in
straight lines and curved inset of
taffeta is placed above it. The sleeves
are especially good.
Dark blue serge makes the chic
suit with bloused coat, at the right
Of the picture. Narrow braid in two
rows finishes the collar, the sleeves,
and the skirt of the blouse. Silk cord
and round buttons account for the fas-
tening in the best way and form fin
fish for the close-fitting sleeves. The
collar in this suit Is the style best
liked for girls.

Reader Finds Comfort in
Old Books Written Without
War in the Authors Mind

If during the war it almost seemed
to some people that nothing written be-
fore 1914 had kept it's old value, they
may, on the contrary, soon find them
selves blinking suspiciously at books
written since then. Mathematicians
distinguished carefully between "sys-
tematic" error, which is cumulative,
and the casual errors which are as
likely to lie in one direction as the
other and in the long run tend to off
set each other. To the reader who is
beginning to recover deranged criti.
cal faculty the trouble with most of
which has been written since 1914 is
that it contains systematic error due
to the perturbations set up by the
great war. The comfort Of old books,
On the contrary, lies in the fact that
they were not written with the great
war lurking In some corners of the au-
thoS's mind. Whatever their errors
and prejudices, they are not bent all
one way by single force, and even
their prejudices neutralize each other.

KEEPING CHICKENS
IN TOWN

In many towns and cities there are
ordinances restricting the keeping of
fowls under certain conditions, namely,
that the neighbors shall not be an
noyed by the growing of the male birds
and that the poultry house must be To-
Gated a specified distance from any
dwelling. Under such conditions, says
the United States department of agri-
culture, permit should be easy to OBJ
tain and the conditions set forth COM
piled with.
The male bird in the flock is not
necessary for the production Of eggs
and usually the house can be so To-
Gated and kept clean that it will not
annoy the neighbors.
