But of course they aren't precisely smocks at all, though they will probably continue to be called by that name. The fact that the smock silhouette that seemed perfectly satisfactory two or three years ago when the smock fashion for office hours first began, now seems so loose and baggy is a very good proof that gradually but surely a more closely molded silhouette is coming into fashion. It has come so gradually that we are not aware of it until reminded in some such way as this, In many offices the smock has been more than a fad. Most rmplof'em liked it because it gave a fairly uniform, - personal aspect to woman workers. And the girls liked it because it saved their frocks. If you ever imagined that the girls you saw teipping off to their work in the morning in all their chiffon and georgette finery were doing so for the benefit of their office-hour assoclates— vamping their employers or anything of that sort—you would only have to see with what willingness they hid the light of this finery under the bushel of an office smock to change your mind. And to begin with, of course, smocks were & fad—and that helped to spread the fashion. There is no reason why in one form should not remain with us. Thrifty | French workers have al!

CRAIG. August 7, 1880.—The first stone in the work of completing the shaft of the ‘Washington Monument was laid about 11 o'clock this morning in the pres- ence of President Hayes. It was placed on the northeast corner of the shaft. The work, which ceased in 1854 when the funds ran out, will now be rapidly pushed forward. After the foundation had been strengthened by the underpinning it was found that, during the 26 years that the present uncompleted shaft has stood, about three courses of stone on top of the shaft had, by the action of the elements, scaled somewhat and the mortar had _ disintegrated. ‘These courses were, therefore, ordered by Col. Casey to be removed. The stones were lowered to the ground and will be used hereafter in the backing. This reduced the height of the marble plle, as it stands, to 150 feet. Yester- day several stones were hoisted by the elevator to the top of the shaft and Col. Casey, in charge, invited President nd Mrs. Hayes to be present at the lnylnf‘ of the first stone. This invitation was accepted by President Hayes, and about 10:30 o'clock this morning, accompanied by Col. Casey, Capt. Davis, Dr. J. M. Toner, Dr. J. B. Blake and several other persons, the president entered the elevator and in a short time was on the top of the unfinished monument. There mag- nificent view was enjoyed for a few minutes and the machinery for moving the stone was examined.

Everyday Law Cases Will Poverty of Parent Afect Court’s Award of Child’s Custody? BY THE COUNSELLOR. Pending the divorce proceedings of Mrs. Campbell against her husband, the court awarded the custody of their only child, Elizabeth, to Mr. Campbell's mother. Without waiting for a final order of the court, Mr. Campbell's mother filed & petition askin; that she be given permanent custody of the child, setting forth in her petition that she was financially able to give the child much better attention and care than the child’s mother could afford, and that, therefore, it was for the best interests of the child that she remain perma- nently in the custody of her present Mrs. Campbell contested the petition, demanding the possession of her child in spite of her poverty. court, awarding the child to her mother, stated: “The courts will not deprive a parent of the custody of a child merely because of financial grounds.

Reply I print this letter as a sample of the many that raise the uestion whether psychology can- contribute to the adjust= ment of domestic relations, and what, and how. maid as husband and wife, and deter- asunder if they fail to live happily thereafter. But so much of this adjustment of one personality to another is so in- timately personal that no one aspect of regulation of human affairs can of- principles for their adjustment. Psychology, it Is true, has wisely taken into its realm the important play of conflict not only in the breeding of nervous troubles, but in shaping the impediments and obstacles to successful living. Onc cannot live in a state of conflict and live happily and adequate- ly; and conflict includes the large range of antagonistic situations from slavery and abject fear, to protest and rebel- lion, and shades off into disagreement and incompatibility and just drifting apart and the thinning away of the strands that once held two souls to- gether. There is no science that can set up rules and recipes for making a mar- riage, whether companionate or “until death do us part,” companionable at all sufes of the journey. The psychologi: will do well to avold the suggestion that he is in a position to give advice to the lovelorn or the love worn; or that he has any formula for regenerating wan- ing emotions, or avoiding the hazards in _the course of domestic relations. While the reasons for this caution are adequate and obvious without specification, it is worth adding that the decisive reason in most cases, as in the one cited, is that only those in- timately acquainted with all the cir- cumstances are in a position to give advice, if any. Should one venture it, he may find himself in the position of & politician who made what he believed was a fine speech on A great occasion; he asked a shrewd Quaker what he thought of the effort. “Well, friend, it was & good 'h, but & wiser man would have made a better speech, and a still wiser man would have made no speech at all.” Most of all is this true of the many cases, like the one cited, in which the clash or friction or disagreement is limited in scope, however unfortunate, in consequence.

Sometimes they are so bad that the glands in my neck feel sore, “K.” Canker sores are little eroded spots in the mouth. They may accompany dizeases with high fever, or they may appear where there is no fever. For instance, they may be brought on by fet producing what we know as acld- , or by one which brings on scurvy. In any case, however, there is some toxemia which probably affects the ends of the nerves in the mucous membrane. (Overhot and overspiced foods, suck- ing candy, and artificial acids will cause them also.) You had better have a thorough physical examination to be sure of the diagnosis, K. Canker sores are your diagnosis; that may not be right. If they are ordinary canker sores, then attention to the diet and mouth hygiene should cause them to disappear. Naturally, the other health habits must | be_normal, too. For the local treatmet of canker sores, rinse the mouth thoroughly very often with boracic acid solution, one tea- spoonful to the pint of water. Milk of | magnesia is also a good mouth wash.

The semi-liquid diet may have to be used during the soreness—gruels, with egg yolks in them, beaten banana pulp, pureed vege- tables, ete. Hyperthyroidism. J—The prefix hyper means above or over; so hyperthyroidism means an oversecretion of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is that gland in the neck which, when enlarged, is known as a goiter. In the type of goiter known as exophthalmic goiter, there is an in- creased secretion, so this brings on hyperthyroidism. It is accompanied by systemic effects, dependent upon the degree of the hypersecretion: Palpita- tion of the heart, tremor of the hands, loss of weight and other symptoms. This is a disease which must be closely supervised by a competent physician, We have an_article on thyroid dis- turbances which you may have. This also tells you about simple goiters, which are due to.a lessened secretion of the thyroid gland. This condition is called hypothyroidism (hypo meaning under).
