The First Day.

The first day at school Is of high inn
portance. After the mother has set the
child in the right mood for school the
teacher must receive him in the proper
setting, in the right mood, all set for the
successful day.
The teacher ought to be well rested,
so that morning finds her feeling ut. A
healthy, happy body Is the very nrst
requisite in our profession. Children
take the essence Of life from the teach
er's being, so the reservoir must be full
to the brim this first morning.
A pretty gown Is essential. or course,
no teacher will go to class in the garb
of mourning. That isn't done. The
gayer. the prettier, the younger, the
better. A bright flower, gay ribbon, a.
bright smile will bring the light to
child's eyes every time.
The teacher must be truly glad to
meet the children. 1t is not possible to
hide ones spirit from the children who
live in the room under its influence all
day long. They will find out the in
wardness Of the teacher before the first
recess. So be happy and glad and cheer
full.
Have the program prepared. Know
exactly what you are going to DO and
how you are going to do 1t. It Is neces-
sary that the teacher go to school a day
or so before Tie opening VA SCAAOOA nAAN
set everything in order for the great
day.
All books need fresh, clean covers.
All pencils must be new and properly
sharpened-not too fine point, or there
will be tears at the very start. We must
avoid all cause of tears.
That means that mothers must hand
the teacher a card with the child's
name, telephone number, address writ
ten plainly upon it, and 60 their way.
1t Is essential that mothers leave the
classroom promptly and cheerfully. No
backward glances, no fearful good-Dys,
no kiss mother good-by." A mother
who leaves a fearful child behind her
has done a very poor job.
Children like a business attitude In
the classroom. They like to follow or
ders, to accept formal routine. Take
seat No. 2, second row; hang your things
on hook two, second row: you will find
your picture book In your desk. Thank
you" sets the stage for business and
eliminates the emotional mood.
The teacher must strive against emo
ton In the classroom attitude. ANY
tears, any undue petting, promising,
kissing, will set the stage for trouble.
Avoid It, Speak In a Arm, courteous,
@salsaT tone. Know what you mean and

my characters to speak aloud to me
from the pages OF my novel, and con-
Sequently was panied and disguised to
near the voices $50 called coming from
the screen.
Disgust as Favorite Weakens.
"For instance, last week attended a
picture called Drag as my favorite
artist, Barthelmess, had the lead. I'M
agine my disgust when his voice regis
tered in two different infections. In
other words, 1t sounded to me as II he
spoke from revolving barrel hid under
the stage, and when the revolution
brought the bunghole to the front the
voice was clear; otherwise muff1ed. Miss
Lakes voice came like the whining Of
small puppy. and litter could be
plainly heard in the audience.
What Q contrast to the picture en-
joyed today-Greta Carlo In The Sim
gle Standard! It was a rare treat. I
do not say that the 'squawkies' will not
improve. but do say Improve them first
before infiicting these freaks of speech
upon a Well-meaning audience.
Our leading manager and owner of
chain Of Buffalo theaters showed us
sample Of talkie made 90 years ago
hunting scene, I believe. The dogs
barked, etc. And, honest they (the
talkies) have not improved much since
that time.
Wants a Few Retained.
"Please don't classify me as crank,
Miss Merrick, but assure you I have
given my honest opinion. I trust we
shall retain a few silent theaters, as
the present-day talkies are unnatural
and ludicrous.
JOHN r. ZAHM."
Neither of these letters prohibited me
from printing. II I have in any way
violated q confidence, ] trust ! shall
be forgiven. This Is a problem so close
to the mass of American people that ]
feel their sentiments should have OPP
portunity of expression.

even blue enamel, as well as rose. So,
no matter what the bedroom color
scheme may be, the bathroom may be
decorated to match.
In the illustration Is shown what
modern design has done to the glass In
the bathroom. The rectangular piece
in the center Is the door to the medi-
cine cabinet, severely modern, but really
more practical than that with the
wooden frame, for it is easier to keep
clean.
Each side of the medicine cabinet are
long, narrow mirrors Cor pieces Of plate
glass, if you prefer to which rectangu-
lar shelves are attached and held in
position with a plated rod. On these
boxes, bottles, jars, etc, necessary to
the making Of the toilet, and their gay
colors add tone to the decorative scheme.

She's q nervy kid. all right. A kid;
yes, although she's married woman OF
twenty years with baby getting ready
for his birthday cake with one candle

house sick man. They have a home,
but it's now on the market so that the
proceeds can go into the car which
will take the little trio westward to
the mountains Of hope and health:
She writes in to ask advice-shau

There's a thrill In the very idea OF

Kid of a bride feels 1t even more Keenly
When abe asks advice about her chances
In the big game.
Most of us take life for granted and
then wonder how we can have the most
fun or do the slickest stunt. we are
out for q long Joy ride or we may DC
thinking about starring on the screen:
We don't see that just to live ana
make a living is a slick trick IN itself.
IT'S when we're up against 1t that we
forget ping pong and warm up Tor the
big match of life.
The reason why we imagine we have
some grand part to play in life instead
of playing the life game is found IN
our natural vanity. We think that
life and work are not enough for our
talents. Let others live and labor-we
want to perform in the big\ tent. Let
others swing the merry d1shrag-we
want to fan ourselves with ostrichs
plumes.
Now, IL we can get it into our young
heads that the life game is the real
show in the big tent and that all these
things are only side shows, we'll be
better OF and happier. It's good
thing to feel that we're up against 1t
even when we are fairly well of.
I'm not praising the drudging Dora
who has to work for her living. I'm
only pointing out that the girl who
gets up and gets out early in the am
to be on the job for the day is making
80 xryffa which

That sort Of girl is playing real drama
the way Sarah Bernhardt used to do
She may not get applause. flowers and
all that, but she has q reward of her
own. A pay envelope, Of course, but
more than that-the knowledge that
she's starring in amateur theatricals.

Boudoir pillows have gon through the
range of such variety that 1t Is hardly
believable that any innovations could
be made. However, here is new and
Attractive change.
Since pillows themselves appear to
have had all the developments Of shape
and size possible, the departure In this
instance is in the grouping of several.
II one is familiar with the bundles
of tiny sachets, made like diminutive
square pillows and tied together with
baby ribbon, then this form Of tying
together of boudoir pillows Is easy to
picture.
Modern decoration for the boudoir is
In excellent taste when o variety Of
pastel of neutral colors Is employed in
its appointments. These may be sug-
gested in the small square shaped bou-
doir pillows. each of different hue.
The pillows themselves may be from
0 to II inches on side. They are
given enough filling to make them soft
without being plump" Since 1t is as
Q group they are used, the combined
bulk of them Is what furnishes size

BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

simplest, and the most Of it is innocent
enough. That q pretty girl should be
ignorant Of the fact or ignore 1t, Is
asking too much Of human nature;
pride in appearance leads to neatness
and self-respect. Pride In ability or
achievement has the same psychology:
overdone, it goes by the name OF con-
Of it out Of young man, and other
young men, as well rs the hard blows
Of experience, may be counted on 3or
the service.
You reach true egotism and the OBJ
noxious kind when 1t affects conduct in
either of two ways-the first Is the more
obvious, in that it leads to O superiority
feeling and interferes With q proper
attitude toward your fellow beings.
Pride of birth, station, wealth, reputa-
ton, may bring it about, and 1t Is as
often to be pitied IS blamed.
Egotism plays an enormous part In
every complex society Millions and
millions Of dollars are spent In satisfy
ir : 1t. But the second effect Is the cen.
trail one. for 1t makes the individual
self-centered, and that Is the deadly
egotism. It begins in the easily under
stood SeldshnesS OF children, OF which
greediness Is the simplest form. It isn't
the moral fault Of selfishness that wor-
ries modern psychology so much as the
| impaired kind Of personality that re-
suits from having self too constantly on
the mind. Join that to O certain sense
OF superiority, and you have the full
blown egotist.
In our type of society the readiest
surrounding the man Of great wealth.
There are so many ready to do his bid
ding. so many eager TO flatter and gain
his favor. He is SO naturally the center
Of things that it takes q strong char
acter not to yield to all this and become
| self-centered. That type Of egotism
runs deeper than the mere sense Of
superiority that may make man dis
tant and formal In manner.
This psychological egotist may be In
manner modest and easily approach
able, but he regards his affairs as more
important than yours, and whether he
wills 1t or not, he judges everything as
q means Of feeding that appetite for
Self-appraiSal.
| He comes to value his own opinions
highly and becomes dictatorial;- he Is
unhappy unless some one Is bringing
him tribute; he rarely gets self out Of
his mind. Yet he may be generous and
sympathetic and large-minded other
wise. He Is not Shut-in personally,
like the miSer. On the contrary, he
needs and is dependent upon the con-
tact and good will of his fellow men.
He makes good friends. despite this fail
ing, and Is an estimable citizen. But
essentially he is an egotist, and egotism
in any form makes against mental 1T
ness. He Is by no means the worst ex-
ample Of his breed, only the most read
lily detected, and in our type Of society
Is naturally prominent. Yet he would
get far more out Of life If he could lay
aside this tendency, sometimes mild
and innocent one, as though 1t were
cloak worn to conceal defects, some
times running deep and part Of the
innermost nature of the man.

teach them the doors to be used, the

Teach something new the first day.

may be large enough to use separately.
II desired.
The more exquisite of these sets Of
boudoir pillows are made of several
shades Of soft taffeta. In room where
blue Of pale gray cast, lavender, rose
and pale yellow may be employed, these
are excellent tones to combine.
A totally different treatment Is to use
figured glazed chintZ in their making.
The effect of such material thus en-
ployed Is emphatically quaint. A set
of these pillows In . springlike pat
tern Is attractive. When made in plain
glazed goods the pillows may even be
used on q day bed In room which is
combination bedroom and living room.
A bizarre effect is possible with the
pillow sets when such colors as black,
gold, red and green Of vivid hues are
selected. Indeed. the most interesting
feature of this vogue for grouped pill
lows of uniform size and shape is the
great variety of color combinations pos
sible.

away two years before, but now she
seemed to return exactly as she would
have appeared had she been alive and
able to play hostess.
Her whole manner was joyous and
ebullient. She at once addressed
series of questions to Mr.. Box. He an
swered and himself made queries.
She told him that her state was one
Of wonderful happiness.
Now all this took place with the
! semblance of reality. It was so real
that Mr.. Box completely lost touch with
the actual situation. He was suddenly
recalled to It when he felt q hand on
his shoulder and heard o voice ask,
well. how about it?"
He was conscious that the editor and
publisher were both looking at him.
But for moment he could not readjust
himself.
How about it9" he said. "How
about what?"
It was only then that he recalled that
he had been expected to listen to
statement of facts In connection with
an argument between his friends. He
! was dazed by what he afterward de-
scribed as "the sudden transmigration
Of self that had occurred"
He apologized, explaining that he had
been temporarily distracted. To which
the editor remarked, "You didn't seem
| to be here"
Where had he been? He learned
afterward that the publishers explana-
ton had lasted five minutes. He could

this. Apparently he was wide awake.
Two facts may be considered OF in7
terest In connection with the happen
ing. His mother-in-law had always
! had deep interest in publication work.
Moreover, the gathering ut the luncheon
was, as Mr.. Box said, one she would
have thoroughly enjoyed.

Sewall than family pride at that time.
The father forgave the rebellious son,
and 1t Is said he privately applauded
his spunk.
MRS. Edge has inherited the family
love Of politics. Before her marriage
she delighted In travelling up and down
her native State Of Maine with her
father when he was Republican national
committeeman.
She speaks French perfectly. Much
of her education was gained abroad.
After her fathers retirement from the
field Of diplomacy the family lived a
great deal on the Continent. She
studied in a convent at Brussels while
abroad, and upon her return to this
country completed her education at st.
Timothy's School at Gainesville, Md.
Mrs. Edge has the reputation in
Washington OF being one Of the most
accomplished hostesses In the senatorial
group.
She made her debut first In Boston.
Then she was introduced to Washing
ton society. It was during her first
season In the Capital that she met SEN
ator Edge. .
She is tall, rather dark In complexion
and very attractive. She dresses rather
plainly, but always smartly. Her taste
In evening gowns inclines to bright
colors instead of the more conventional
black and white.
Her children are her life. Every
Summer she gathers them up and to-
gether they go to the Edge Summer
home In Maine.
