Dresses That Cost Students From S275 SO Are Shon
4dInirerS Fashion Display

This exhibition was the elimination
of the course since September. The
girls spend eighty minutes Il week at
sewing and it is only by regular work
that they were able to finish their
dresses in one semester.
The girls pay for all materials, even
to the sewing cotton. The more ad-
vanced pupils are taken on shopping
tours early in the year and are told
what TO ask for and how to buy. Some
Of them are taught pattern cutting, but
the dresses today on exhibition are made
from commercial patterns. A chnnge
in styles is sometimes recommended by
the instructor, who explains how Ger
tain styles suit certain materials and
figures.
Virtually all the dresses have been
made at a cost less than So \ few are
more expensive, made from silk mate
rails, but at least one of the dresses
was made for $3.50 and several for
S2.75. The girls have learned now to
knock the cost of dressing.
Miss Sarah Mcbride and Miss Emma
| DeHaven are the instructresses in charge
of sewing. Added to the dressmaking
program there were piano solos by
Joseph Carpenter and Rebecca Kohlerr
and a song by Elizabeth Hid.

MINISTER URGES OPEN MIND
ON SUBJECT OF SPRITTSM
Arod Hostile Prejudice and Unreasonng Crcduly, 4duise
the Req Frederick r. Griffin at First Unitarian Church

\ plea for an open mind and fair
consideration of spiritualism and psychic
research was made in the First Uni
tartan Church yesterday by the Rev.
Frederick r. Griffin
The public. he said. is much inter
csted in the subject of psychic phe-
nomcna at present, and pending study
and investigation no decided verdict
should be given or adhered to.
Hostile prejudice and unreasonug
credulity should both be avoided, he
pointed ont.
"Now we are asking. is there any
thing to it'?' he said. is It fraud :
tlIput or genuine? Does it come from
without the mind, or from within?
Lit is the CONSENSUS Of opinion OF
scientists that the general public should
be warned against having to do with
psychic phenomena. II is their opinion
that frequent participation in such
phenomena often causes complete up
heayal of the nervous system.
Extensive creduity offers direct
encouragement to fraud. which is OF
great extent. If the spirtualistic wave.
through the credulity of the people. rises
to a great height, there is danger that
we shall be visited with reign of
terror, such as was seen in the Middle
Ages.

LABORATORY NEEDED

Dr.. HysIop Says Scientific Re.

New York. Jan. 2G.-An opportunity

definitely the facts of the "other"
world, according to DR. James H.
Hyslop, secretary Of the American So
ciety for PSychical Research, who was
described by Sir Oliver Lodge as "the
chief representative Of this subject in
America"
The ablest minds will have TO work
on the problem under perfect condi

mist wrapped around the subject by
the appearance Of charlatanism which

diums" and by the exaggerated and
fantastic ideas which obtain currency
from the present efforts of tens of thou :
sands of people TO investigate psychic
phenomena for themselves.
Doctor HysIop thinks that scientific
investigation will in time produce vaiu
able practical results. first by establish .
ing beyond question the future life, and,
second, by making it possible to treat
and cure persons now caSSed as in
sane, who are in reality suffering from
the invasion of their consciousness by
the spirits of persons who have died.
The first thing that we have to in
vestigate," he said, 'is the discoorinp
