1--WE come in to hear the class read,
Miss Maria. You would like to
read to me, wouldn't you, children?"
Eyes, Miss Anne"
Miss Maria signaled for the readers
to be distributed, selected the story
and handed book to Miss Anne. Now
Miss Anne was the new inspector.
young and pretty and excited about
her new position. Her dress was a
pale blue thing that shimmered and
floated and shone. About her neck
hung slender gold chain. holding
glittering blue pendant that swung
and swayed as she moved. She moved
a lot. nodding her head, waving her
hands, bending toward each little
performer with winning grace.
Lothario. just past 6, was the most
attractive little boy that ever won a
teachers heart. His head was poised
like a flower on a slender stalk. His
hair stood in golden brown ringlets,
in which sunlight played hide and
seek His eyes had the color of golden
sand, played on by sun and ripping
water. He was one of the best readers
in the class.
Miss Anne called the children by
selecting name card from the pile
Miss Maria handed her. One after an
other rose as his name was calledsand
did his best. Lothario was enthralled
with the lovely lady in blue. His eyes
followed her every movement. He
swayed as she swayed, his hands
moved under his desk as hers moved
above it. He leaned so far to the left
one time to get the full effect of a
| movement that he almost fell out of
his bench. That attracted Miss Anne's
eye and she said, You, little boy"
"Lothario," put in Miss Maria.
Eyes, Lothario, you read now"
Poor Lotharioi Reading was the
last thing that had occupied his
thoughts. His book was closed
Frantically he clutched it, only to
have it slide from him. At last he
caught it up, opened it and searched
for the place. The class sat in petri-
fed amazement. Lothario, the head
Of the class, losing his place!
I'm afraid you are not a good
scholar. A good scholar sits UP tall
and holds his book and pays atten-

nounced that all present were good
! scholars. Lothario, crimson to the
ears. hung his head and said never a
word.
Miss Maria edged close to Miss
Anne. Under cover of handing her a
card. she whispered, Hes the best
reader in the room. He lost himself
in admiration. You know he never
saw you before"
Let this be warning to all teachers
and inspectors and mother-guardians
who, In pursuit of their duties, test
their children's accomplishments. Let
the test be undramatic. Make 1t mat
ter of fact. Let the work in hand take
the center Of interest. Keep yourself.

The Old Gardener Says:

The particular advantage to
be found in making a rock gar
den at this season lies in the
fact that the soil and rocks be-
come settled by Spring, at which
time planting can be done. It
may be, however, that the garden
maker will wish to do some Of
his planting in the Autumn, espe-
cially If he wants the early flow-
ers provided by bulbs. There are
certain bulbs, like the tulip spe-
cies, that may be planted this
Fall, which will make beauti-
full display in the Spring. They
are very dwarf, but are well col
ored and the flowers themselves
are reasonably large. The grape
hyacinths are also dwarf and
snowy dubious plants to be put
into the rock garden this >Au-
tumn, but earlier than the tulips.
They should be planted in groups
to get the best effect and in
crease year by year. Few bulb
Gus plants are more satisfactory
for rock-garden planting.

Five Factors
Give Beauty
Distinction
Personality Seen as
One of Strongest
Contributors.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

JUST az you think of clothes en-
semble as coat, hat, shoes, gloves.
dress, accessories-so with the beauty
ensemble. There are four definite
divisions - skin, hair, hands, figure.
Each has its own branches, but there
1t is, a complete unit in itself. The
fifth is not so easily defined. It's
that Elusive quality We call per-
sonality, or charm. That's made up
Of million little things, but those
little things make you more truly than
the shape of your nose or the color
of your eyes. But we could talk about
that for a month, there's so much
to that. So we won't dwell on it
too much here.
Each of the five factors plays a
very important part in the finished
product. Therefore. each deserves at
tention. And this is the time of the
year when every woman owes 1t to
herself to give her face and her figure.
her hands and her hair all the COM
pensating care they need. A hard
Summer is behind you-a season when
(if you're at all human) you probably
abused or neglected your beauty. A
hard Winter is ahead. Between sea-
sons there's the Fall-new, sparkling
clothes, gay parties. And the clash
is pitiful when a new Fall hat tops
a Summer coiffure or scorched hair.
Or when a splotchy complexion ac-
companies smart, colorful costume.
And, talking about clothes, need one
even make mention of the figure?
1t isn't amiss to take inventory.
Yes, actually make Hst-two lists
good and not so good. Under figure.
for instance: If you are about your
normal weight and well-proportioned,
rate yourself as good under that head
ing. It won't take more than sensi-
bic diet and few daily Gmbering
exercises to keep that asset. Other
wise, rate yourself as underweight,
overweight, or list the parts that
need reducing or developing.
Under "face" consider your features
and, more especially, your skin; is it
dry, oily, marred by blackheads, white
heads, coarse pores, lines, blemishes?
Then there's expression to consider,
and that's worth much more than
passing thought. Hair should get
quite the consideration that the face
does. You can readily recognize
whether it is dry, oily, ends brittle,
scalp itchy, covered with dandruff,
whether it needs rewaving, recondi-
tioning, color -toning. Under hands,
the condition of the skin and nails,
then whether they are too plump or
too thin. It's easier setting about
doing it when you know Just what's
to be done.

~ VERY woman likes to own at
least one coat dress. There
are days when topcoat is a
IL burden, and then she goes
about the town attired IN a simple,
beautifully cut, one-piece dress. Often
she wears a bit of fur at the neck.
or two bits, if she is opulent. Some
times she likes a knitted scarf, very
wide, made on very large needles, 50
that the stitch is big and loose, or
a velveteen scarf with belt to match.
The coat dress is style very becom-
ing to the mature figure, for long
lines, and the absence of elaboration,
both essential to this type Of frock,
have a slenderizing effect.
Today's design is the coat dress Of
clasic simplicity. 1t buttons far to
the left side, an idea much liked in
the seasons collections of new and
wearable clothes. 1t is essentially
dress of the present; not a single in
f1uence can be detected in its trim
straightness, except that most i'm
portant of all influences-the desire
of the modern women to be perfectly
dressed. The neckline is high, the
sleeves long, set into very deep arm
holes, and the only ornamentation
used consists of the two buttons at
the top of the side closing, and the
buckle on the belt.
This is a model developed in light
weight tweeds and homespuns. Nice
to wear without a coat, or, when
Winter winds are chilly, to wear be-
meath a topcoat Of tweed or fur.
Short fur capes are exceedingly
smart, and would look well over so
simple a frock. Lightweight wools
are good for the coat dress, and are

Attendants
And Others
At Weddings
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST: We are ask
~ ing many friends to church but
having a very simple wedding, and
would prefer, If possible, that my at
tendant and I just walk in from a
door at the front of the church. How
ever, since we ought to have ushers to
seat our guests, I wonder If they
could be omitted from a procession" ="
Answer-Yes, if you prefer. They
might, perhaps, stand on either side
Of the door through which you enter.
Dear Mrs. Post: I have been ill
and now 1t Is too late to give party
in honor Of a friend of mine who is
to be married soon. May I give a
party for her after she returns from
her wedding trip. or might this give
the impression that my idea Is an af-
terthought?"
Answer.-Even under ordinary cir
cumstances a friend may wait until
after the wedding to give party for
the bride-especially If many parties
are being given for her beforehand.
In your case certainly the bride and
every one else would understand why
you have waited.
Dear Mrs. Post: I'm to be maid
Of honor to a friend who is going to
wear a wedding veil that hangs down
in front. I've never been an attend
ant before and I've never been a guest
at a wedding where the brides veil
hung over her face, so I'm not at all
sure how I can Cor whether am sup
posed to) lift the veil from her face,
and when, and Just how to go about
my duties so that shall not add awk-
wardness to the picture. I'm very un-
nerved about it."
Answer.-After the service, when
the bride is ready to turn away from
the altar. you hand her bouquet back
to her first and then lift back her
veil. She then takes the arm of the
bridegroom and as they start the re-
cessional you stoop and straighten out
her veil and her train. This all
sounds very complicated, but If you
try your best to keep calm by remem-
bering that it Is the bride on whom
the spotlight is turned, there should
not be any difficulty. Only ask her to.
pause moment until you have spread
her train. When the bride starts OF
at once, It Is almost impossible not
to get either train or veil twisted.

Psychology
By DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLs.
Psychic Boundaries.

p ECENTLY read a story to this
~ effect: The skin that covers your
body is the dividing line between you
and the not you.
That's hard to believe. Most OF the
things you possess or think about
pets, automobiles, friends, enemies,
goods in shop windows-such things
exist without and beyond the so-called
boundary. Yet they are part Of that
so-called you, which resides within
the boundary.
The truth is there is no such thing
as q psychic boundary. Any attempt
to establish one is good deal like
trying to imagine when time began
and when time shall be no more. Or
the idea that If you look straight up
into a clear sky you will see SO far that
your line of vision will turn into q
circle which will have for its terminal
q spot just beneath your feet.
When you try to establish psychic
distance you undertake the impos-
sible. It's the one great riddle Of the
universe-always has been. always
will be.

drink of which I had never drunk be-
fore" that this Oriental infusion
would become the traditional English
beverage and that his countrymen
would become inveterate tea bibbers-

a GOOD cup of tea is such a COM

disappointment! But it is true that
taste for tea is as varied as the teas
Themselves blend one individual
may consider delicious another might
not care for at all. Seeking and find
ing a type to please ones own palate
is q fascinating adventure-the local
stores have a well-rounded selection
capable of catering to the most dis
eliminating taste.
IF YOU like mild and mellow tea
l. try smoky Chinese-it is unusually
fine but little known away from the
Chinese restaurant. Basket fire, a
japanese green tea, sometimes called
"spider leg" because of the long, thin
leaves which resemble the spider leg,
is another mellow tea. In order to
obtain the best results from these deli
cate teas they must be properly brewed.
They take longer to brew than the
common black tea-many people do
not realize this and cannot under
stand why they fail to get the flavor
they expect. The smoky Chinese and
basket fire should be allowed to brew
from IL to IS minutes and should be
served very. very hot.

change from the ordinary blends.
