The Higher Education of Women-2
Next. I should teach girls tact. 1
would instin in them the gentle art
of being diplomatic. Most young peo-
pie despise this, and go after what
they want with a sledge hammer and
a bludgeon, which explains why so
many of them have a hard time in
achieving their desires. For it is as
trne now, as it ever has been, that
vinegar never catches flies, and that
the strong arm method awakens the
fighting instinct in others, whereas
we are as jelly in the hands of the
jollier.
Whether girl marries, and under
takes the most difficult of all human
occupations, which is keeping a hus-
bands fur smoothed the right way,
or whether she goes into business, the
amount of her success is measured
by her ability to walk on eggs without
breaking them, and to dodge the
angles Of those with whom she comes
in contact. She will find that doing
her full conscientious duty towards
her husband will not hold his affec-
tions, while just being pleasant will,
and that ability and hard work avail
nothing in the comm ercial world if
allied with Yprickly personality, the
habit of correcting people, and telling
them of their faults.
The chief thing that distinguish s
a lady from mere female is the fact
things that would hurt, or grieve, or
embarrass others, and that she never
forgets to say the little, kindly, pleas
ant things that make people feel good.
I would also have my chair of lady
hoodness lay great emphasis on the
human voice. As women do most of
the talking in the world, it is of pc
culiar importance that they should be
taught to speak beautifully. and musi-
cally. A loud, Strident voice issuing
from a woman's mouth is as much a
deformity as a club foot, or a hump on
her back, and it is more unforgivable
because it is a malformation of which
she can rid herself If she so desires.
No human woman has right to go
thru the world rasping the nerves of
her fellow creatures The least she
can do is to have her voice manicured,
and so I would have every girl take
vocal LESSONS, not with a view to sing
ing, but simply to cultivate that low,
sweet, speaking voice that is one of
womans greatest and most enduring
charms.
should have every girl taught how
to write a graceful note, and an inter
esting letter. No other accomplish
ment is SO useful to a woman as this.
for we are all pathetically grateful to
those who send us a line of congratu1a-
ton when good fortune knocks at our
door, or of sympathy when we are
walking thru the valley of sorrow, yet
the average women is so awkward
when it comes to handling a pen that
she will risk losing a friend rather
than go thru the ordeal of writing q
note.
We teach girls many things nova
days and lay great emphasis upon
the higher education of women. but we
do not attach enough Importance to
teaching them to- be ladies' Yet that
is the highest education of all.

her hand on his arm, that warm sense
of friendship and intimacy swept over

here was a girl who affected him as
no other girl ever had. If she wanted

moment. Then, oddly enough, one
of the men in the ring began quickly
clamping handouts on the gang.
There was noise at the window be-
hind Gerry. He heard Simpkins talk
ing to the girl. Then heard Simpkins
tearing down the walk ana the sound
of his machine starting up.
Then the girl entered the cellar and
stood behind him. Her veil was up
now and her face gloriously pretty
her eyes shining wonderfully.
We've won! We've won! In spite
of Simpkins's treachery," she cried.
You did splendidly. Jennings she
added, turning to the man who had
slipped the handouts on the gang.
You're some fine, dandy detective, ,

High tariff advocates quote Abra-
ham Lincoln as having made the OBJ
servation that if we bought goods
abroad we had the goods and the for
eigner had our money; but if we
bought goods at home we had both
the goods and the money. In view of
Bincoln's reputation for being q man
of good sense, it is probable that he
never said it. But if he were living
today he could not fail to see that
under the operation of the Fordney
bill it would be the manufacturers
who would have the money. At this
time we already have most OF the
money in the world and more goods
than we can dispose of profitably and
we can never hope to dispose of our
surplus to any country from which we
do not buy. Neither can we hope to
collect what is due us If the Fordney
bill become a law.

JUST FOLKS
THE YOUNG ON woKLD.
By EDGAR A. GUEST.

THE YOUNG OLD WORLD.
Seems the good old earth reioices
At the sound OF children's voices.
And IL never seems to weary
OF the brave hearts and the CHEEKY.
Men grow old and tired and fretful,
Worn and feeble and forgetful.
But the good old earth still sprightly
Wears her centuries but lightly.
Strife and stress thruout the ages
Are recorded in her pages.
But each year the birds come winginR
To the orchards with their singing,
And the month OF June discloses
All the beauty of her roses.
Fresh and fragrant. graceful, slender,
With the old-time youthful splendor.
She comes smiling to her duty,
Never tired Of weaving beauty,
Never weary OF repeating
LONELINESS however fleeing;
In the far untrOdden spaces
Still she paints a thousand graces.
Always youthful in endeaTor,
Yielding fruit and bloom forever.
Seems the good old earth rejoices
AT the sound OF children's voices
And grows never tired OF giving
To the charm and JOY Of living
Ages old have come and vanished.
Men have flourished and been hauished
Buildings rise and fall and naOulder,
But the earth seems never older.
