DOROTHY DIX TALKS-The Higher Education of Women

rF I were a millionaire I should endow
chair for teaching the art of being
- lady in every girls school throughout
the land.
OF course, know this is terrible Mid
Victorian sentiment that will cause all flap
pers, and the female what-you-may-call-' ems,
who are strutting around in pants, to turn
up their marshmallow noses at me in disgust,
for the modern girl looks upon being lady
with scorn and contempt. She isn't lady.
She hasn't the looks, nor the dress, nor the
manners of lady. And she doesn't want to
be lady, or have anybody to mistake her
for one.
Yet, nevertheless and Notwithstanding,
there is no other career to which a woman
can aspire that is so fine as that of being a
lady. There is no other charm so COMPEL
ing. There is no other magic so potent with
which she can conjure. There Is no other
graft equal to it.
The whole world gives way before lady,
and makes the path smooth before her feet.
The toughest man pays her Differences; the
Whether she marries, or whether she goes
into business, just to be a lady is an invalu-
able asset to any woman.
Therefore, I should try to revive this lost
art and the very first thing that I should
teach girls, as a foundation stone of lady
hoodness so to speak, would be how to dress,
and how to carry themselves, and make the
most of whatever physical attractions nature
has endowed them with, for I nold it to be
a woman's Christian duty to be as good look
ing as possible.
would impress upon the youthful fem
mime mind that fine feathers make fine birds,
and that even homely bird is better for a
little borrowed plumage. Then I would
ground my students in the charm of contrast
so that they would know that what attracts
man to woman is her difference from him,
not her aping of him, and that no man is
particularly drawn to a woman in knicker-
bockers who looks like a caricature of his
little brother.
Then I should teach my girls good manners.
If, as has been truly said manners make the
man, still more do they make the woman,
for woman without graciousness, without
tact, without suavity, is an anathema, no mat
ter if she possesses all of the cardinal virtues.
If could teach girl only one thing, should
teach her gracious manners, for, with that as
an asset she could come pretty near to getting
all the balance for herself.
Next, should teach girls tact. I would in
still in them the gentle art of being diplomat
ic. Most young people despise this, and go
after what they want with sledge hammer
and b1udgeon, which explains why so many
of them have hard time in achieving their
desires. For it is as true now, as 1t ever has

T.oo Gents a Day for Fun
American people were going, if not the


American people were going, if not the
primrose way to the Everlasting Bon
fire. at least the path to penury and woe
through over-indulgence in amusements,
should be comforted to learn from report
by the Treasury department. that actual ex-
penditures on this account come to only flfty-
eight cents month per capita, or something
less than two cents day. Is that so bad Tor
these giddy times?
The total. however, bulks to approximately
sixty-three million dollars month, showing
once again that we all would wax wealthy II
we could but save enough pennies. Sixty
three millions a month, more than three
quarters of billion year. for amusement
does appear rather free-handed budget for
that item until we think of the mult1tudes OF
flappers and drones, not to speak of toddlers
and tired business men, whom it provides
with diversion. The rightful criticism would
seem to be that not every American is spend
ing his statistical two cents day. (Some are
consuming it upon such prosaic necessities as
bread and butter, without which they have
not vet learned to do.) This imposes upon
some others burning sense of duty to make
up for the. closeness of their brethren, and
the result is what sobersides call extrava-
gance, or even profligacy.
All in all, however, America may be said to
keep on the windy side of gladiatorial Rome
and Bourbon France, so long as her people
plunge no deeper than fifty-eight cents a
month per capita into the levities OF life II
they would but heighten and enrich the quail
ity of their amusement, they could well afford
to go further.

Queens of Long Ago

George A. Risner, of Harvard who recently
has been digging in the tombs of those long

It is not many years since this news would

MRS. SOLOMON SAYS
By Helen Rowland

Now, my Daughter, 1t came to pass that
a Woman-tanaer of Sodom, turned from his
wild bachelor ways. and let 1t be known that
he was about to take unto himself wife.
And those who knew him rejoiced in his
defeat, and clapped their hands, crying.
'Ha ha! See how the mighty hath fallen!
For they ALL fall, when their time cometh!"
And the bachelors shivered--but the mar
ried men grinned.
But when they sought to discover his rea-
sons why his heart had softened, he an-
swered them, saying:
"Alas, am weary Of MUCH women, and

4 probhet;c Month

.T HAT is a peculiarly cheering report
from the United States Department of
Commerce on the current economic
trend April" it concludes, has been a
month Of assimilation and Of the adjustment
of conditions for progress in later months
It is very encouraging that business for the
most part is advancing in this less spectacu-
lar, but more substantial manner"
Recent developments, heartening as they
are within themselves, are much more so be-
cause of what they betoken. Basic produc-
ton is increasing, trade is brisken1ng, prices
are markedly more stable-all Of which de-
notes improvement that is fundamental.
Steel mills operated at above seventy-five per
cent of their capacity in April compared with
sixty-eight per cent in March. The output
of automotive industries increased during
the same period approximately thirty per
cent-passenger cars from 162,467 in num-
Der to 1862, and trucks from 19,449 to
21,944. Still more notable is the continued
advance in building Throughout the coun-
try construction of dwellings and OF mercan-
tile quarters, particularly the former, goes
forward apace; and this assuredly is evil
dence of more than superficial business
strength and faith. Atlanta's building rec
ord of more than one million, seven hundred
and seyenty-seven thousand dollars for the
month lust now ended marks a substantial
gain over April, and is especially gratifying
for its large amount of home construction.
Facts like these bear witness to a quicken
ing life, a resurging prosperity. Times are
by no means as yet all that could be wished,
but the blossoming of today is prophetic Of
tomorrow's harvest. A season of 'assimila-
ton and of the adjustment of conditions for
progress in later months" as the Department
of Commerce describes April, is in truth
season for thankfulness and high-hearted ell
fort. That the clouds which hung low and
chill have lifted into blue skies means much;
but the growing months, the ripentng months,
The best months are ahead.

Booth Harrington is said to be an admirer
of the gentler qualities of the colored people.

eyes. Turning to the minister, he said, You's
ruined me TO life, rev-und, yo shoa' has!'"
Every speaker at the dinner had advertised
the town, which was inland some eight hun
dred miles from the coast. The speakers all
said that had the city been on the coast it
would have been the worlds first city.
The visiting speaker was called on next.

Editorial Echoes

And now a speaker before the sixteenth
annual convention of the California Phar-
maceutical association stands on the plat
form and delivers himself of the following
sentiment: every man who lays claim to
any class at all has his pet shade OF face
powder, his particular fragrance OF toilet
water. his favorite shaving soap and MS DIS
tinctive preference in nail polish. The up
to-date man seeks to make himself just as
attractive to women as they are supposed to
strive to make themselves to men. Drug
gists must recognize the fact that men now
constitute a great and rapidly growing per-
centage Of the patrons of the toilet articles
and they must make greater efforts to &C
commodate that class Of patronage"
Time was when the life of a druggist
might have been considered a happy one.
That was in the balmy and benef1cent days or
a simpler era. In those days druggist SIM
ply had to compound prescriptions and sell
some uncomplicated drugs of common house
hold usage. But those sweetly idyllic days
are DER.
It is long since drugs made druggist.
Nowadays it is note-paper, children's puzzles
and safety raZors. He watches the once ten
tative soda fountain grow into busy quick
lunch counter and the erstwhile speculative
pile of Robnson's Family almanack meta
morphosze itself into magazine and book
stand, with a case OF fountain pens as an
appendix; and as he watches he must regret
the days he spent getting his degree of doc
tor of pharmacy that might have been spent
more profitably in business college. And now
there is this latest burden. TEo gentleman
from California informs him that hereafter
he must help bear the burden of every mai
who lays claim to any class at all" And
there are so many men who lay claim to
class With his other cares the druggist
must now assume that of chaperoning their
development of class consciousness. He
must guide them in the proper adjustments
of their "eactions to the fragrance of various
toilet waters. He must help them to Guilt

To Make Nursing Survey
The foundation initiated and has paid the
expense of survey of the exact function
of the health nurse report is expected
this summer. The foundation supports a
nurses training school in connection with
the Picking Union Medical College. A sur
vey of training in Great Britain and on the
continent, to be begun this year, has been
authorized.
The initial deficit Of the Cornell clinic
demonstration was underwritten by a spe-
cial committee of the United Hospital Fund,
supported by the Rockefeller Foundation.
The clinic is an experiment in meeting the
demand for pay clinic for persons with
small incomes. On the day the clinic
opened 700 persons presented themselves
and there has been a steadily growing
patronage ever since.
Picking College Growing
Student registration in the Picking Union
Medical College, which the foundation built,
stated and equipped, is increasing, the num-
Der of students this year approximating 140.
Twenty-Five per cent. of the teaching corps
and practically all the service group in this
college are Chinese. The faculty took part
in famine relief and in many ways entered
into the life Of the country, says the report.
Representatives of the foundation made
surveys of medical schools in Japan, China,
the Philippines, Siam, Indo-China, Straits
Settlements, Java, Egypt, Syria and Constan-
tinople, and of several schools in India.
