she represents, and for what she is
best suited.
MISS HILLS is intensely inter-
ested In the tie-up Of clothes and
character, for she states that Is a
girl she had "all the right books and
all the. wrong clothes" A couple of
generations before, she says, it was
even worse, and quotes the amusing
story OF the girls college which was
to have new dormitory. Some one
thought, at the time, that 1t would
be an excellent idea to have closets
something the old dormitory didn't
have-but the president vetoed the
idea, reminding this bold person that
the girls had ample space-three
hooks, one for the best dress, one for
the school dress and one for the
nightie. Imagine one of our modern
co-eds equipped with such . ward
robe!
Correct clothes are the tools Of
success, Miss Hills believes, and both
IN college and the world beyond,
your clothes create q frst impression
which is so often lasting. Good taste
is hand in hand with an expression
of knowledge. 1t is nothing vague,
she says, but is a definite thing based
on what you know and what you have
learned.
Interesting indeed is this authority's
classification of the different types
OF girls, and she sums them up in a
very few words. About go per cent
OF the girls between Is and 20 fall
into the class known to Miss Hills
as the perfect wife type" This girl
is blend Of ingredients-she looks
smart. but not extravagant; capable.
but helpless. healthy and yet dainty;
she is never 'ultra-anything," and in
spite Of the fact that she Is going
to college she is still the home type
personified
TYPE 2 is the o-too-tweedy girl
the type that overdoes casual
clothes and overlooks the fact that
there are feminine sport clothes
soft tveeds that don't have that
bulgy look, and dainty. fluffy sweaters.
Much has been said about the
sophisticate-whose clothes are usually
appropriate for the business world,
but out OF place in a college setting.
She is the woman Of the world type.
who doesn't always have her interests
strictly on college. and consequently,
doesn't reap its complete dement's.
The notwithstanding girl is
q good mixer, dresses we'll and simply,
and ultimately makes an excellent
promotion manager or saleswoman.
She wants the best possible quality in
clothes.
OF two different varieties, says Miss
Hills, is {, the 1'm-going-to-get-there
girl. She Is either trim and tailored,
frankly efncient, or too, too feminine.
The latter method, which includes the
use Of velvets. hand-wrought jewelry
and flowers in her hair sometimes
helps her attain whatever ideal upon
which she has set her determined
little heart.
Last, but not least, is the unfor-
tunate poor-little-me girl. She is the
most pitiful Of the lot. for she never
tries anything new in the way Of
fashion. for she knows it wouldn't
suit her. Her college life and career
Is apt to be just as dull as her clothes
All in all, We would say that Mar
jorie Hills knows and understands
the problems of the college girl While
she advises the coed not to initiate
exactly any of the above types. she
stresses the importance OF know
ing yourself" and the kind Of person
you really are
She certainly Knows her types and
teens"

Nothing that VOL can buy In the

Il market places of the outside
world has the sweetness. the flavor, the
heartening and strengthening qualities
of that which we brew on our own
hearthstones.
To each of us the most important
thing in our lives is our family rela-

have none OF our own to rejoice iii it.
Riches are counterfeit money that

Such being the case, and all of us
knowing that our happiness and we'll
being depend more upon our family
relationship than upon anything else,
it is strange and stupid thing that
We do in trusting this all-important
matter to luck instead Of using all he

No woman can be happy If she has a

band Nor can there be any happiness
in household where the husband and
wife are in a perpetual tight.
But. knowing that the price of their
quarrels is an unhappy home and
probably q divorce, do the average
married couple take the trouble to
make their relationship to each other
pleasant and agreeable? Not at all!
The husband often doesn't treat his
wife with even common politeness.
He never pays her a compliment,
or gives her any indication that he
regards her as anything but burden
and an expense.

In many of them there are "X-ray"

physical set-up she may overlook
something vital until its correction
consumes the maximum of time and
money.
For instance, there is the matter
of eyes. Remember that after a
healthy summer out of doors, with
little reading or close indoor work,
your youngsters eyes are apt to look
rested, strong and healthy 1t is well
TO think back to the end of school
last June, and try to remember
whether at any time then you
thought his eyes were looking tired
or strained. If he is going to school
for the first time it is doubly important
to test his vision. In minor way
this may be done at home, by making
him read simple letters or diagrams at
distances; by getting him to read a
page or two, and noticing where he
has to hold the book to see; noting
any symptoms Of eye strain while at
play, or after working. remember
that no one in my family-in the
dear dark ages-knew that I was
practically blind as bat until I
couldn't make out the great electric
advertising signs at night. And any
one who has read the story of Kipings
BLACK Sheep" will never forget the
trials of poor abandoned Punch, who
was called clumsy and stupid, and
roughly treated because Of it-all due
to the fact that the little chaps vision
was dirlmed No child can do good
work. at school or anywhere else, if
his eyesight is defective. A thorough
and competent check-up early in life
Is the best insurance for his success.
HEARING is another thing that
often is inadequate and yet goes
undetected for years. A child who
must strain to hear, who does not
seem on the alert to obey a command
or to accept an invitation to play,
who misunderstands spoken assign
ments and does not seem to follow
oral questions intelligently may be
hard of hearing. Such a possibility
should be looked into and the doc
tors advice followed. Sometimes the
cause can be removed and the situa-
ton cleared up. In the event that it
cannot, at least the teachers and
classmates will not classify the young
ster as SLOW" and dumb" but will
rather help him on his way.
Protective inoculations and vacci-
nations as advised by the authorities
should be permitted and assisted by
parents. Serious illness, terrible epi-
denies, unnecessary deaths may be
avoided by this simple precaution.
The discomfort to the child is soon
over, and both he and his mother and
father will have the comforting re-
assurance that certain diseases will
hold no terDrs for him. No person
with an open mind and a heart full
OF love for the child could deny him
this safeguard against possible trgedy.
Feet are of great Importance.
Proper shoes are. of course, essential.
They should be big enough and wide
enough, but not several sizes too
large so that they may "be grown
into" That is just as bad as the
cramped shoe. They should not be
too heavy, as this trends to tire the
child, but should give plenty of sup
port to the arch and the ankle. Most

The Old Gardener Soys:

1t is hardly necessary to say
that peonies should be divided
and planted in the next few
weeks. The yellowing of the TO-
liage indicates as much. The
work ought to be finished before
the end of September 1t is not
to be understood, however, that
dividing the plants is necessary.
Peonies may be left undisturoed
for six, eight or ten years if they
are blooming well. 1t is a we'll
known fact that clumps have
stood in one spot for 40 years
without losing their capacity to
flower freely. If the blossoms on
any plants have been decreasing
in numbers and size, dividing is
indicated, and if young plants
have failed to flower for two years
or more, tho chances are that
they were planted too deeply.
They should be dug up and reset,
with the crowns only inches
under the ground, or a little more
if the soil is likely to settle.

give them. But how seldom do you
see fathers and mothers trying to sell
themselves to their sons and daugh-
ters? They depend on what they
call natural affection, which doesn't
exist after q child can stand alone.
After that parents must win their
children's friendship by tenderness
and understanding and justice; not
ALLEVIATE them, as so many fathers
and mothers do, by their petty tyran-
nies and continual fault finding.
Then there is the in-law relation
ship, which can be turned into a
blessing instead Of the curse it usually
is by the use Of q little tact and
common sense and upon the ability
Of = daughter-in-law and mother in
law to see that their happiness is
going to depend upon the way they
treat each other.
One of the most beautiful and sus-
tanning relationships in life is that
of brothers and sisters who love each
other with devotion that goes back
to the cradle and that is interviewer
with all the precious memories of
childhood It is love that does
not criticize. that knows all your
faults and loves you still, love that
you can call upon in time of trouble,
secure Of help. And yet how many
men and women throw away this
treasure because they are too lazy
to preserve it. They drift apart with
out even a letter or a visit to keep
them in touch with each other.
Queer, Isn't it, that We go abroad
seeking happiness when it is buried
right under our own doorsteps?

This week the industrial commit

A report from Raleigh shows that
during the first months of 1888
IS new industrie were established
in the state. This expansion repre-
sents an investment of nearly $10,-
100000.
The report indicateds that hosiery
mills continue the most active
growth in the State. Of the IS new
plants, Is of them are hosiery mills,
and of the additions, %, or more
than half, were undertaken by hosi-
cry manufacturers. Food and kin
dred products account for II new

found it necessary to expand during
the period.
The industrial committee is also
thinking of getting out special
pamphlet on West Jefferson and

point of-view in the near future.
