FOUNDER OF SUNDAY SCHOOL
Robert Raikes, to Whom Honor Is Gen.

Borrowed the Idea.

Robert Raikes of Gloucester Is often
set down as the founder of the Sunday
school, writes an English correspond
ent, but nothing is heard of Emmanuel
Twynning, the shepherd of Maggie
Bottom, Sheepscombe, Gloucestershire,
from whom Raikes got his idea. Mag
pie Bottom is a beautiful crinkle at
the edge of the Sheepscombe, where
the lane departs dowE the valley, at last
reaching Worcestershire. The young

so favorable. He was told that on
wet days some handy cottage shell

During the walk back to Gloucester
the thought took root and, without

The outfit of the college girl will In

more conventional-of poiret twill,

somewhat decorated as to its coat.
Skirts are still plain, coats longer with
much attention given to collars and
sleeves. This kind of suit is equal to
almost any emergency In the expert

choose a plain model of jersey cloth,

A LII WARDROBES are more or less

of sports clothes, and in that of the
college girl it is decidedly more. They
suit her and she suits them, therefore
the quiet paths Of learning are destined
to be frightened up this fall with snap
py suits and hats bit rakish. The
style of clothes of this character, at
once casual and spirited, strikes the
right note for American young women,
their endless variation keeps up q
lively interest in them and makes them
more and more successful.
One of the suits that is sure to
please the college girl Is among the
earliest arrivals for fall and is pic
tured here. The neat, crossbar skirt,
in two colors, makes all sorts of OppOr-
tunity for color combinations and the
coat of Jersey cloth is selected to
match either of the colors in the skirt,
usually the darker and less vivid one.
1t is worth while to note the small de-
tails that distinguish this suit, the
patch pockets bordered with pointed
straps made of the material of the
skirt, the cuffs and notched revers of
the same. The vest of net and lace
may take the place of blouse when
the coat is worn indoors-it is i'm

One of the essential things to re-
member is the different groups OF
fOods:s
1. Foods which provide protein
which builds muscle; these are milk.
eggs, cheese, meat, poultry. dried
peas, beans and lentils, as well as
fish. Eln
2. Foods which furnish us starch
and sugar; these are cereals, meals,
fiours, bread, macaroni, potatoes and
such starchy foods; sugar In various
forms such a. honey, molasses, can
dies and sweet fruits, preserves, sweet
cakes and desse IT'S.
8. Foods which furnish fat. Sun
piled by butter, cream, olive oil. corn
OIL, bacon, salt pork, suet and other
cooking fats.
4. Foods which supply mineral
salts, vegetable acids and body-regu-
lating substances. This Is q most i'm
portant group and has been sighted
In the planning of the ration far too
often. We find these substances In
apples, pears, berries, melons. oranges.
lemons and other fruits; in salads of
green vegetables, such as lettuce and
cress; in green's. like spinach. green
peas, tomatoes and squash.
II these four divisions are included
in the diet there will be no lack Of
the necessaries for growth and health.
When purchasing supplies for the
family table think In terms Of these
groups. Some housemother will say:
my family will not eat such and such
foods. or certain members Of my fam
fly will not eat the kinds of food
necessary for them to keep in perfect
health" With rare exceptions this Is
admitting your own lack Of properly
training the children to eat the things
that they should eat.
