NEW YORK. June s.-Katherine
Clay. II years old, may now get
down to her own exams in teh public
school, relieved of her daily duty of
getting her mother away on time to
classes at Barnard college. Column
bia university. Katherine's mother,
Mrs. Katherine Bouton Clay, of
Newark, N. j., has just received her
A. B. degree from Barnard to the no
little maternal pride of the daughter
whose duty it was to gee-up the en-
tire family team all in addition to
her own studies at the public school
Mothers of school age are quite a
trial, says Katherine. You have to
see that they're prettied up as nicely
as the neighbours children's mothers
and you have to sit them right down
to their home work and make 'em do
it when the neighbor mothers are
yoo-hooing over the phone to come
and play bridge.
There's Satisfaction.
And on mornings when It's nicer to
lie abed you have to get EN- up and
cuddle them out of the notion of GO
ing absent from class for a day. But
there's fine satisfaction when at the
end of the semester, mother brings
home good report card and an-E-
a glorious sense of having done an
important duty in life and done
it well when mother at last comes
romping in with her books and d.
ploma and all of bubble with the
joyous news: Schools out! And
passed."
Little Katherine Clay's mother
gives her much of the credit. She
studied at Vassar until 1909 when
she left college. still lacking two
years of her course, tC become the
bride of Katherine's pop, Clifford
Clay, writer. If Katherine had
been present then she probably would
have kept her mother right on at her
studies for Mrs. Clay's education be-
came the central idea of the little
girls thoughts as soon as she was
old enough to think about 1t. There
were other childreT after Katherine
John, now eight, and Richard, who is
six.
Studies On subway.
1t was quite a scheme of co-opera-
tfon that Katherine. mother and
daughter, evolved for the unanimous
education of the family. Mother
helped Katherine, who helped mother,
both took a hand in getting John I'M
der way in school and all took part
in the gradual preparation of little
Richards mind for the beginning of
his book learning next fall.
Mrs. Clay did some of her study
ing at home and much in the tube and
subway, for it is quite a ride from
Newark to Barnard college. When
her own examinations are out of the
way, little Katherine Will get after
her Nom again. She thinks 1t would
be a fine idea for mother to study
Italian this summer and Katherine
may send her back to Barnard to
get her masters degree.
Pop Clay naturally doesn't figure
in all this. Being a little girls pop,
it goes without saying that he knows
everything. Ask him anything-why
does the wind blow and where to?
Why is the cats meow? He can tell
you.

Yarn Quotations Reduced.

Certain cotton yardn quotations
were reduced substantially this week.
chiefly involving numbers which have
for some weeks been cut of line with
the general list. Twenty-sixe and
EOS, single and ply, southern carded
skeins and warps, and the same
counts of frame spun carded cones,
figure in the fastest reimbursement Of
quotations, being cut to their lowest
levels since the middle of last Octo-
Der. The reductions are the most
general since May Is, but involve
fewer than a score Of the regularly
quoted numbers
There was no improvement over
the last weekend in the volume of
orders and inquiries received In
Philadelphia, according to most Of
the dealers interviewed. A few yarn
houses said the number of small-lot
orders received was somewhat larger
than a week ago. but 1t was indicated
that opinion has not changed as to
the lack of prospects for any sub
stantial buying Of yarns until next
month.
Thirties, single and ply warps, and
sos ply skeins are all selling now at
the same price, SO cents a pound, al
though the single warps are also
quoted as low as 81 cents and the
ply skeins and warps up to 81. Phila-
delphia dealers are offering 3Os sin
gle carded skeins at as low as 81
cents. These quotations are said to
be about cent below anything the
majority of the southern spinners
will accept for these yarns. 1t is also
asserted that many of the spinners
are now meeting the prevailing mar
ket quotations.. for about rs per cent
of the yarn list without much ques-
ton Indicating that these counts Will
likely be the next to reflect any fur
