Of Maine. II has, therefore, been
deemed advisable in order to prevent
the spending Of time. effort and
money on such q losing proposition,
to deny such individuaIs admission.
This has been done during the past
year. 1t has also been found advisa-
bic because Of known records and fig
ures to admit on trial these individu.

to ten per cent above tho passing
mark Of their school. This is one ac-
tEal performance test of graduates
of the secondary schools Of the sys-
tenn of which DR.. Thomas seems so
proud. Others can be and are being
collected.
There is a possible scheme involv-
ing new principles for the training of
secondary school teachers for the es-
Establishment Of which very much
hope we may be given adequate sup
port. at the University of Maine. If af-
ter fair test this plan does not
prove superior to that now in opera
ton. we shall have at least known
that we have exhausted another pos
s:ble method of improvement I do
not believe that any system Of train
ing is perfect, and I do not see that
the system now in vogue is any ex-
ception to the rule. I am sure that
when those in charge realize that
there will be no criticism on my part
OF any system, without a construc-
tive suggestion to accompany it, all
these interested will progress togeth-
er toward a satisfactory solution Of a
matter so vital to the State of Maine.

A friend in Paris has been sending
me long letters full of the most fas-
cinating suggestions for pretty things
that any girl can make for herself.
Alas, the best suggestion of all comes
too late to be useful as a Christmas
gift idea-so you must be selfish and
utilize it as a post-holiday gift for
yourself
The letter is all about hand bags
and vanity purses. The new vanity
purse is just large enough to hold
powder and puff mirror, with n
place for change, and perhaps a bill
o rso. One could get in a lipstick and
the finest of nail files, but nothing
more. Pouch bags are not gone, but
going. The new bag is flat and is
shaped somewhat like an envelope.
Do You want to make a beauty, such
as my friend described?. 1t is simple
enough. Take a length of black moire
ribbon-the newest thing for bags.
The length depends upon the ribbons
width. Fold it on itself three times
and use enough to make the hesult-
ing shape pretty-about three-quarters
of yard does it. Cut a bid of mod
crate stiff cancas a little shorter and
narrower than the ribbon and lay it
on as an inner lining, and lay on the
same length of white moiTe ribbon as
you have black. Whipstitch or ma
chine stitch the edges closely 20

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am eigh-
teen years old A short time ago /
was invited to party at a girl
friends house The boy | had been
going with came to our front door to
call for me but he did not want to
come in. He said he would wait out
side and l should get on my hat and
coat and come along. He had always
come in before, but | did not insist
and l did as he said.
He acted funny while we were
walking over to the girls house and
when we got inside | realized he had
been drinking He was not drunk,
but he talked and laughed lot and it
was easy to smell the wine or what
ever it was he had had | was ter
ribly ashamed to be there with him
When it was time to go home my girl
friends father said he would drive me
home and it would not be necessary
for me to go with the boy who took
me. He didn't like this a bit and
since then he hasn't asked to take me
anywhere. My girl friends mother
told my mother about him and now
mother says l cannot go with him
again even if he asks me- Do you
think it is fair to turn down a boy
just because he has been drinking?
TRYING TO FORGET.
The boy was anything but a gen
tleman. In the first place he knew
he was going to the party with you
and therefore it was objectionable
for him to appear as he did Besides
he owes you an apology and is de-
cidedly ungentlemanly to resent the
