Little Things That Often Give Touch
Of individuality in MiIady's
Costume.

Interesting indeed are the jet Cir
ules this season which are made In
fat effects as well as in the popular
rope form. If you should choose one
of these girdles you can also have
bracelets and chains to match.
If you wish to wear the former in
the latest manner you win select q
long chain. wind it once about your
neck, and then allow the pendant TO
bangle down your back OF course,
if your taste Is more conservative,
there is no law to forbid your wear
ing the pendant in front as you nat
urally would.
Should you prefer to wear sash
instead Of a girdle, and there are some

One always feels with the approach
of each new spring and summer season
that the smart Parisienne this time
may place the stamp of her approval
on the truly summer dress of lingerie
material or novelty cotton. A well
dressed French woman, notes fashion
writer, can only consider her frocks
made of these light and summary fab
RIGS as suitable to be worn at the
races at Deauville in August on the
tennis court, or around the tea table
on the lively lawns surrounding her
chateau, where she spends few weeks
and slightly larger number OF week
ends that can Re spared from pressing
social duties elsewhere.
Despite the limited number of wom-
en- who wear such dresses on these
hardly frequent occasions every
spring, in all the big collections a de-
cided number of this type Of dress is
shown. The Frenchwoman seems to
consider any summer event and all
sports from a peculiarly social angle,
so she has not great use for this SIM
pie summer frock so beloved by her
American sisters.
Costumes Vie With Simple Dresses.
When she does find real summer
dress, which she considers fitting for
one of her complicated midsummer
afternoons, one can rest assured that
it is very beautiful with distinct
cachet and truly French charm; a
charm perhaps in intricacy of cut or
detail or in a daring and successful
~ mannish simplicity.
Dresses of this type made by the
greatest French dressmakers have met
with the complete approval of their

average inferred by means of record

OBJECT OF EDUCATION

Education is more than the mastery
OF number of mental tricks. Edu-
cation may teach a person how TO
earn a living, but many pupils, often
the best, cannot be persuaded that
earning a living makes living itself
worth while; they viii turn from it
to any irrelevance, good or bad; while
those who can be persuaded are by
that very persuasion made stupid.

evolution brought about by the crude
Misunderstanding methods of the Indians
and extending through untold cen
turtles. Luther Burbank, in order to
prove the truth of this theory, car
ried the plant through evolutions and
produced perfect ears of corn in the
miraculOusly short period of Is years.
Public announcement of the expert
ment, which has been proceeding
quietly at Mr.. Burbank's experimental
farm in California since 1903, and
which constitutes one of the most no.
table achievements of the plant wiz
ards life, has just been made.
1t was the savage Indian, says Mr..
Burbank, who gave us, here in Amer
lea, the most important crop we have.
1t was the Indian who found the wild
grass, teOsinte, covering the plains
and developed it into corn. Or, TO
turn it the other way around, it was
the desire of the Indian for food
plant like this that led the teosinte
grass, by gradual adaptation. to pro-
duce maize. On Mr. Burbank's farm
there grows, today, this same teosinte
which the Indian found. 1t bears
tiny ears with two rows Of corn-like
kernels, on a cob the thickness Of
a lead pencil, and from two to four
inches long-slightly less in length
than an average head Of wheat.
From its earlier stage of pod"
corn, in which each kernel was en-
cased in a separate sheath or husk like
wheat, teosinte represented, no doubt,
a hard-fought survival and adaptation
like that of the Towering violet. And
when the Indians came into its en-
vironmeht it responded TO their infiu-
ence as the pansy responded to care
and cultivation in its new dooryard
home.
Where teosinte had formerly relied
upon the frosts to loosen up the
ground for the seed, it found in the
Indian a friend who crudely but effec-
lively scratched the soil and doubled
the chance for its baby plant to grow.
Where it had been choked by plant
enemies, and starved for air and sun
light by weeds, it found in the Indian
a friend who cut down and kept off
its competitors. Where it had been
destroyed by the animals before its
maturity, it found the selfish protec.
ton of the savages as grateful as
though it had been inspired by al
truism.
Planted in patches, instead of strug.
Cling here and there as best it could
before, the teosinte grass found its
multiplication problem made easier
through the multitude of pollen grains
now floating through the air. And so,
by slow degrees, it responded in its
new environment by bearing more
and bigger seed. As the seed kernels
increased in numbers and in size, the
cob that bore them grew in length.
From two, the rows of kernels in
creased to four, to six. TO eight, to
fourteen. Here again the selfish mo-
tives of the savages served to heIp
the plant in its adaptation-for only
the largest ears and those with the
best kernels were saved for seed. So.
under cultivation, the wild grass al
most disappeared, and in it's place
there came, through adaptation. the
transformed Indian corn.
This, in brief, summarizes Mr.. Bur-
banks theory of the original evoIu-
ton of teosinte into corn. How many
centuries were required to bring about
