Any one familiar with the growth of ildren knows that they, too, dwell on their course at times. In learning a new lesson, taking a course in one study or another, they start off well. They surge ahead smartly for a period of time and then, imperceptibly at first, they begin to “dwell.” This is the way children learn. Those dwelling places are to be looked for— in the individual children and in the class as a whole. The experienced teacher watches for them and adjusts the instruction to the conditions. Some children travel far before the dwelling place is reached. Some travel only a short distance. Some stay a| long time at the resting place; some make only a brief pause. Some reach th= permanent dwelling place early in ! their careers; some reach it only when | life's span here is ended. To the teacher and the parent this character- | istic of growth is highly important. | The child may need rest; he max need a review; he may need a new | value to us but the: | the wardrobe, | combin: | of economy was diverted by the beauty | emulate, method of presentation; he may be bored with the old way and start off | smartly when offered another point of | view. “One must study the child and | de ine what is the best method to | for each ene. 1 the work or the tra ing and alive to th: mi 1d 25 you can.

But do not be discouraged because a child dwells. It is reasonable for a child to tire of | hearing the same old mctter in the same old way. It will help to h=ar it from another person occasionally, so it is a good practice for teachers to ex- change classes in the same subject now and then. It is reasonable too, for children to want a change of environment. A visit that takes them away from home, that separates them from the old associa- tions for a time, is often an inspira- to fresh growth. They will come ack to their homes thankful for the o'd femiliar things, but with a some- thing within them thet makes the old familiar things take on a new giow. Sometimes there is no chance of changing teachers, or of going off on a visit, for the dwelling children. Try some easy way. ©hange the dweller'’s seat; give him a ngw text book: change the order of the program; do something to break the old rhythm and establish a new one. And sometimes do nothing at all but let the child rest. He may simply be resting. He may be digesting his knowl- edge. Watch and sce. ut be ever mindful of the dwelling place.

November 28, 1860.—Government offi- 1s and residents of this city, especial these desirous of secing the Union pre- ved, are disturbed by the jatest news reaching here from the slave-holding States in the South.

Tt is situated on the Polomac r and surrounded by two slave Stat, Maryland and Virginia. Its situation would be particularly alarm- ing if hostilities should break out be- tween the slave and the free States Senator Jeferson Davis of Mississippi is in Washington today, having arrived here yesterday from his home. His health seems to have much improved since he was last hore. He told friends continuance of the existing Union lies in prompt action on the part of the ron-slave-holding States, whos2 people hold views regarded by the South as against their fundamental interests, to guarantee that hereafter the South “shall have no just cause for complaint on such account:” On the other hand the anti-slavery men are entirely unimpressed by such statements. With a few exceptions, there is no indication of any change in the majority opinion of the North against slavery. Meantime every kind of effort to reach a compromise once more will be made. but it is feared that the hot heads on hoth sides may be able to prevent & compromise. In every Southern State excent South Carolina, whose govern- ment and people are strong for seces- sion, there are evidences of conservatism. This is especially true of Virginia. It is hoped that such sentiments will prevail and that the Union will not break up. When Congress convenes five days from now there is sure to be lively dis~ cussion—perhaps a bitter controversy— over the slavery question and secession.

This NOW the trouble with mest girls is that they are copy cats. They haven't the courage to be originel. They haven't the intclligence to roalize that, as long as they dress like every other girl, and have the same sort of hair-cut. and say the same kind of thin ey are as indistinuishable as peas in a pod. It only when they have the courage and sense to do something different that they are distinctive. The excuse that every girl gives for what she docs is that all the girls are doing it. That is the bcst reason in the world for not doing it. In any grouo of 50 girls you would not nctize the 45 who had shaved necks, and boat hooks of hair on their checks, and skiris above their knees, and who were smoking | cigarcttes in the intervals of applying lipstick to their mouths. The five who | would stand out in the picture would be the girls who had long hair, and finfly | skirts W their knees, who were not smoking or making up their faces, and who looked soft and feminine instead of hard-boiled. Tnasmuch as clothes go such a long way toward making a woman, a girl can | do a lot in developing her personality by her dress. I knew one very common- place weman about whom a romantic aura grew mercly because she always dressed in lavender or purple. She came to b2 known as the “violet lady.” be- cavs> she always wore violets, and left a whiff of violet perfume in her wake, and used violet stationery, and Winter or Summer was never seen in anything but a viclet frock. If her war sted of the jumble of blues and blacks and greens and grays and pk: ] es. in which most of us women clothe oursclves, | nebody ever would have noticed her a second time, but her never wearing any thing but one color gave her distinction. Another aid in developing personality is dressing your part. On the stage, when an actress wants to get acre to the audience just what sort of character a woman 15, she puts on the clothes that emphasize the points she wishes to bring out. Simple whit2 for the innocent young girl. Sport clothes for the yden. Slinky gowns and long jade earrings and ermine wraps for the vamp. Spangies for the adventuress. Alpaca with a skirt eight inches too long and neat white collar and cuffs for the ‘wor.thy widow who has been defrauded. ‘ 'HY should a girl not take a tip from the stage and underscore her person- A elity by wearing the clothes that would bring out her type? Believe me, it is even more important for a woman to match the color of her soul than it is her eyes when she goes to buy a frock, and she should consider even more prayerfully the angles of her disposition than she does that of her nose when she selects a hat. If she wants to be thought a good sport, let her clothe herself in tailor- mades. If she believes herself subtle, let her invest her money in iliusive chiffons of futuristic designs. If appeal is the eternal feminine and she yearns to suggest to some man what a wonderful wife she would make, let her adorn her- self in simplicity and dig out of the hair chest a ruffled white apron. Furthermore, the girl who desires to achieve personality must play up her own line instead of understudying another girl's. Many girls make thisymxgtako. They see that Lulu, who is always doing and saying outrageous things, is the life of the party, so they think that they must be vivacious, too, and they giggle and Jjump around and are as tiresume and ridiculous as monkeys on a stick. Or they see that Mamie, who is a tiny little fairy, looks cute when she curls up on a sota, and they also try to curl up and look like bogged-down elephants, Or they see that S=lly has the boys going when she rolls her eyes at them and Fslfs them fool questions, and they also try the trick, with the result that they give a lifelike imitation of a dying calf afflicted with softening of the brain. Yet these very girls might have had the glad hand from all who knew g’gtgle’)‘re:m:nrga&;tt:}; xano:t of txkfilr ;mnur‘:ersonulltles—lf they had been q‘:ne:);;‘g B s nd sensible, for these qualitie: far more restful than giggling and cutie smr?r.s.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., November 28 — When Gloria Swanson took over Eric von Stroheim to make her next picture all Hollywood said “Pcor Gloria” and In the meantime Hollywood's gen..s has been put on a 10-week working schedule, ! received a definite amount of money to play with. Gloria Swan- son, who retrieved a slipping career her work as Sadie Thompson, isn king any artistic risks, and Joseph nedy isn't taking any financial one: Eric von St-cheim, who has made seme of the finest pictures that ever Joseph Kennedy orpozakion which pays the bills, and Eric von Stroheim is the bad boy genius of Cinemaland. Regarded by all as perhaps the most able director movies have ever had, the bullet-headed actor-director found him- self without bidders when his last epic was complete. He had directed for a Jarge and powerful organization, and he had made a picture to fit. The time consumed in making was large, the bills were powerful, the footage of film was both. Workers in this corporation strugzled with the story more than a year. Fay Wray, wiose fiist appearance in a major role was in the part of Mitzi, made two other pictures and appeared in them, yet her first part had never been re- leased to the publie. Spe-ialists gave their weighty opinions resarding what could be done with this tremendous amount of footage. It scemed the Von Stroheim story could not be compressed into anything shorter than a tale to fit the needs of the Chi- nese theater. Hellywood has done L give a show of this , they are a little bit “= accused of copying And Hollywood must ing first. cat the great Eric's film down to regulation length.

Ellen Louise Axson had responsibility | thrust upon her early in life. She was| the oldest of four children of Rev. S. Edward Axson, a prominent Presby- terian minister. Her mother died just as she reached young womanhood. and Ellen Axson filled her place until she married Mr. Wilson. She regarded life seriously. She was | always thoughtful of others, and her love and wholesome ambition for Wood: row Wilson made her the most impor tant influence in his life. It is doubt- ful if he would have risen to the presi- dency without her. They met romzntically in her home town, Rome, Ga., where Mr. Axson was | pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. ‘Young Woodrow Wilson had been prac- ticing law in Atlanta, and had run down to Rome on a matter of business connected with the estate of his cousin, Jessie Woodrow Bones. Miss Axson saw him first as he passed the home of a friend where she was paying a call. He attracted her, him when he saw her at church next day. He -was so interested that he sought an Introduction. He was hence- forth deeply in love with her. Their first meeting was in June, and by September they were engaged. But it was the merest chance that this hap- ened. e ‘Young Wilson was in Asheville, N. C., when he accidentally encountered her. She was on her way home from New York, where she was cultivating a genu- ine talent for painting by studying in the Art Students’ League. She had been called home by the illness of her father. He determinedly pressed his suit_in the short time allowed him before her departure, He won her consent. But she said later that if she had not o he got home she found her father desperately ill. It was not long before he died. p How much of Wocdrow Wilson's hicvements thereafcer can be cred- i to Ellen Wilson will never be nown. At the time of their engagement he was preparing to fit himself for a pro- fezsorship by two years' study of history and political economy at Johns Hop- kins University. Yet he would have tossed his plans aside in order to mar:y at once, although he had no money and no income, had she not insisted that he continue. She had in their youth a wider vision of art and literature than he, and she opened his mind to greater prospects than he had imagined. Indeed, in all ac | the literary labors of his life she was an assistant without whom ke scarcely could have proceeded. He was a man of vast enthusiasm. and Hence a man who required a full meed+of sympathy. She properly tem- | pered his likes and dislikes, and gave him the needed sympathy. She well understood that she could best help him by understanding him. Waen he was preparing his great work on “The State” she was doing her own housework, making her own dresses and looking after her baby. But she found time to study German, so as to help him in his examination of difficult German treatises. . She was patient, and she understood the practical, worldly worid as he could not understand it. Yet it was she who urged him to “seek the highest things he felt in his soul.” So idealistic was she, she insisted on doing awey with the inaugural ball, important event in Washingion presi- dential inceptions, when Mr. Wilson took office. “I cannot bear to think of a ball with the modern dances,” she said, insisting that the inauguration was too solemn an event for such cbservance. Death came to her after only a year and a half in the White House. It fell to the second Mrs. Wilson to see Wood- row Wilson through the trials of the World War and the period following it and preceding his death. (Copyright. 1928.)
