It would be an addition to the plan of training the body as well as the min ; ‘ The main thing is the idea, And everybody probably is agreed that it's a good one, The details can be worked out, and it’s at least worth the early consideration of the school board. : Our Own Fashion Letter--Styles Feminine and Masculine tells us in“a The good Cardinal Cavallari, patriarch of Venice. protest against prosent day feminine fashions, that the men are dis gusted with the clothes women wear No doubt the opinion of the men folks has some weight in Italy nd in Europe. Maybe it has in America in isolated cases, but not at all in the matter of clothe: ; The American woman pretty thoroughly understands the masculine In her dissection of all male character she finds him a lar, OF @ conceited puppy, or a booze fighter, or a smoke chimney, or a gfouch, or a buffoon, or an ingrate, or a sissy and ten times out of ten more or less selfish. So why should she pay the slightest atten tion in the world to any man's disgust over such a personal matter er clothes? a, lm thing: This matter of following the dictates of fashion isn't so one-sided as man tries to make |t. Whether he has only $5 or $50 to spend man wears the style of duds in fashion at the moment It he doesn’t care one way or the other, they make him take the ny: ea mn be more outlandishly awkward than the generally ac- cepted shape of his shoe, with the toe that looks almost human la its agony of distorted ‘in?

No, the male of the species has no monopoly on modesty and Distributers of Beauty ee « Ever hear of the National Plant, Fruit and Flower Guild of Fifth av., New York city? Probably not. Neither did we until recently, and that’s why we pass the news along. It’s an organization that is concerned about beauty. It wants to bring something of sweetness and light into t! hearts and lives of the weary city dwellers. It wants to co: vince them that all is not grime and soot, dust and smoke. And how do you think it plans to do it? Why, by bring- ing to the city the superfluity of common flowers for which the countryman has no especial use. It pays for the express age and it does the rest. It sends its agents down into the terrible tenement and slum districts. It brings blossoms to the women and children who crave the little joyful flowers of the fields. It fetches the country to the city. It invokes dreams of open spaces where trees rustle and streams purl over colored rock And somehow we feel that those who satisfy our hung for beauty are doing quite as good a piece of work as those who supply us with food. There are mental hungers quite as keen as those which rack the body. Observations THE FATHER OF WATERS is the mother of appropria tions—Boston Transcript.
