EDUCATION. THOMAS EDISON whose ability to get space ota the first page of Jie newspapers has of late been thoroughly demonstrated, announces that the modern college graduate has no education at all and that there Is no place In his organization for the Ignorant. The trouble with Mr. Edison Is that he has confused education and knowledge. They are . entirely different thing. You can educate a horse or n dog, but nobody has yet succeeded In giving them knowledge. Mr. Ford, who Is a warm friend of Mr. Kdlson, has very little education, as lie proved when questioned under oath on matters literary and historical, and yet no one would deny that he has knowledge. Mr. Edison based his Judgment of the college graduate of today on the answers submitted In response to a questionnaire which he prepared as a test for young men 'eeklng employment with him. Those? same young men, even If they were only average college men, could have off-hand prepared a questlonnarle In answering which Mr. Edison would have made . a miserable failure. It would be no trick at all for any well-informed man to write ten questions to which Mr. Edison could not furnish A per cent technically correct answers. If you do not believe It, or If Mr. Edison does not believe It, try to w rite down without consultation of any books or seeking information from any outside source the answers to these: Who was Pilpay? What and where Is the medulla oblongata? What iolnt on the earth has neither latitude nor longitude? Of what nationality was Columbus? Which Is the oldest of modern religions? How many teeth has a dog? llow much does n cubic foot of air weigh? Were Is the island of rhilae? How many nations has the earth? What three noted men were contemporaries of Voltaire? Of course as I wrote down these questions I naturally chose queries to whicl) I knew the answers and yet I am not, even as the author of the queries, certain as to the accurate answers to two of them.

THE HOTEL WORKER. TIIK hotel worker gets her board and usually her lodging, .as well as her salary. The salaries run from ?r0 to $lf0 a month. Hotel positions are interesting and Important. A girl must have Intelligence, a good presence, good manners, and a level head. She has responsibilities, and she ought to be a Judge of human nature. The room clerk must have a good memory, so that even with a large clientele she will remember the different guests who are making her hotel their home, and she should he able to size up applicants for rooms without hesitation. The desk clerk conies into direct contact with the guests. She is stationed at the desk in the main lobby, and must be ready to answer all sorts of questions regarding not only the hotel, but the city. She must be smart In appearance, have tact, courtesy and unfallinc good humor. The lloor clerk accepts packages, answers phone calls, pays for C. O. D. parcels. She often does stenography for guests. She receives, sorts and delivers the mail for her lloor. And she. too, answers questions. Then there nre the restaurant positions, the cafe cashier, the food checker, the waitress. All these positions are good ones. Moreover, there are the summer hotels, where a girl gets room, board and salary, varying according to the type of hotel. Many college women help themselves through college In this way. For the ambitious girl without definite training hotel work Is to he recommended as an excellent way to earn an independent living.

THE CHEERFUL CHERUB

WALKER

To he able to answer all of- those ten questions correctly, offhand, would indicate education, but It would not prove knowledge. t The mind of the college graduate when he leaves his alma mater Is In mwh the same condition as the palate of a man who has tasted In rapid succession several varieties of spices. He is unable to make prompt and accurate use of what he really possesses. To the spice taster all the spices temporarily taste alike. To the graduate his Information is a conglomerate mass out of which he, with great difficulty, picks the fact which he requires. Time will restore the accuracy to the palate. Time and application of the Knowledge will enable the college man to arrange his mental storehouse so that he knows where things are and Ikjw to use them. Mr. Edison does the college graduates an injustice when he says they are uneducated. They are in most cases educated, but they are untrained. Education you can get In part from hooks. Training comes only with experience and practice, in applying education. St. IJernard, who was one of the greatest of ecclesiastics, writing to a friend, said: "Trust to one who has had experience. Stones and trees will teach you what you will never learn from the masters." And Shakespeare, who had perhaps read what St. Bernard wrote, put these lines in "As You Like It:" "And this our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in trees, hooks In the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything."

All kind things must be done on their own account, and for their own sake, and without the least reference to any Kratltude. THE DAINTY HOME TABLE. SINCE linen has been almost prohibitive In price and the linen in our chests has been cherished-for state occasions, the little Japanese sets, cloths ami napkins, which make no pretense of being anything more than cotton (but which have such pretty artistic designs, in pood colors) have become very popular. The well-kept dining table never looks better than when laid with pretty doilies, which most women enjoy making in their leisure moments. The old fashion of loading the table with all sorts of good things has passed. We still have the desire to be well fed but with more comfort and. greater health. A dainty centerpiece of flowers or a small plant always adds to the appearance of any table. Flowers need not bo of the choice hot houe variety, for a hunch of beautiful clover Is a thing of beauty and costs nothing. Pretty little ferns may be taken up in the woods, planted In small pots and used for a table ornament. The present fashion returns to the

THE WOODS

Br DOUGLAS MALLOCH SYLVIA. IT WAS because tbe dawn was In tier eyes. It was because the night was in her hair. Because I heard the forest In her sighs, I held her fair. She came upon me 'math the huddled eaves, She walked beside me in the maze of men Her sadness, sadness of a wood, that grieves. Her smile, the sun again. Her voice was like the whispering of trees. Her laughter like the tinkle of a rill;. Her cheeks blushed roses, roses such as these Upon the hill. She was a river in a tlilrsty land, A changeless star in midnight skies to shine Her touch, to walk with Nature hand-in-hand And she was mine, was mine. So leave me in the wood a little while ; Here where the grass is greenest let me lie. The. sun shall bring me once again her smile. The wind her sigh. Here only do we seem no more apart. In verdant ways beneath the skies of blue; The stirring earth will seem a beating heart. The heart, the heart I knew. Once only she could bring the forest near, In those old days amid the panting crowd. Once only she could make the stars appear Beyond the cloud. So now the forest that her sonl expressed To my own soul is her interpreter In ev'ry wind that wanders east or west I hear but her, but her!

When candles are used for lighting the table, one may have the inexpensive glass candle sticks and the shades may be made at home, having any color desired. The softer light of the candle coming through colored shades makes a most attractive table. Stemmed glasses are used for cocktails as well as desserts, while the handled cups are used for punches and sherbets.

IN -SUMMER HÄTS

White Lingerie Headgear Likely to Return to Favor. Some of the Smart Summery Millinery Is Formed From Burnished Lisere Straw. With the prominence being given by great French milliners to the broad brimmed hat of antique leghorn with ribbon streamers or lace trimming, we need not be surprised, observes a fashIon authority, to see the white lingerie hat worn 10 years ago with the simple muslin dress return to popularity. Some of the ' summery hats are formed from burnished lisere straw, with no trimming other than a narrow velvet ribbon placed abou the WU CAWU UVU II C UiJJ IM 1 L. IUI? t back with long flowing ends. Sucli models may have small bunches of fruit or flowers tucked under the brim, as it seems that there is no tendency to depart from a bit of drooping trimming at the side. Lace is used more sparingly than last summer and In its logical place for the real dress hat. Varnished ribbons and varnished straws still are smart with ginghams or simple frocks. A wide-brimmed shiny straw hat, with a broad glazed ribbon crossing the crown and ending in loops or fringed ends at either side, is decidedly attractive. The true spirit of summer appears In some of the simple straw hats by our own American makers. Very lovely to wear with a sheer white frock Is one of bright green horsehair with a drooping brim, cut wide at the sides and short In the back and front. The onl.v trimming Is a wreath of green leaves going across the front and extending beyond' the brim on either side.

A GREEN SUMMER IS INDICATED

brilliant Hues Popular on Atlantic City Boardwalk for All Kinds of Apparel. Ureen In all 'its varied hues, in hats, frocks, sport outfits, sweaters, scarfs and even stockings, was the Boardwalk color recently when thousands revelled in gorgeous sunshine. Many forecast a "green summer." Observant strollers were overwhelmed with the conviction that nine out of every ten small women have a predilection for large hats with little trimming or small hats with a superabundance of decoration. Flappers are going in for brimless headgear, with an enthusiasm akin to the ffhey of their big sisters for the adaptable sailor in all Its variations. So far as appearances go, it would have been in gross exaggeration to say that some of the secretly plain skirts contained the minimum two yards of fabric. Common-sense heels never were so popular with so many of those who formerly regarded French heels as tne only kind possible for Boardwalk wear. The "military" heel for the time being has displaced Its rival of foreign derivation and there is less complaint about "Boardwalk feet." Hundred of large women, large In tnturt. by adopting the waistless fiTck with the linked girdle have nnnllnYd for places in the "trim" di'vls.on of their sex. A Phlladelphian assorted that Philadelphia women this spring are manifesting a ienchanr for colors quite unusual with many of them.

STYLISH BLACK SATIN WRAP

i 1 Of the modish, black satin, but distinctive in cut, is this redingote from Paris. The wide sleeves are as convenient as they are graceful and charming, for they prevent the satin from being ico warm for a summer wrap. bearing on the efforts of our own milliners to create a demand for real summer hats at this time. It would seem unnecessary that any great amount of effort should be expended to develop four seasons in clothes. They should exist logically. Hut here in America they have not. There have practically been only two seasons in millinery. KEEP SEWING BASKET HANDY Convenience Should Be Available in Bedroom, Sewing and Sitting Rooms as Timc-Saver. Keep a completely stocked sewing basket in bedroom, sewing room and sitting room. In this way n.any quick stitches can be taken, which would not have been taken if everything had to be hunted up. In the sitting room basket, keep a piece of pickup work and when an unexpected caller .comes, this can be worked on, when one would not feel at liberty to take time to hunt up the things. Also keep a sewing bag ready with a piece of work and necessary threads, etc., so that when you go out to call or visit there is always something ready to take with you. This is a little extra expense to begin with, as it requires four pairs of scissors and four thimbles, but it amply repays In the end in the extra amount of work done. Complexion Brushes. Kvery precaution should be taken in the care of complexion brushes. The skin of the fact? i extremely sensitive and, if any dirt is allowed to remain in the brush. It will lodge in the tiny pores of the skin. Blemishes result which often take many months to lieal. After thoroughly washing brushes they should be placed in the sunshine. After a thorough drying, be sure and place them where the dust cannot reach them. A now decree from Dame Fashion's court, superseding the shoe-color mandate for hosiery, authoritatively explains why a great many silver-haired women are wearing stockings and slippers to blend with their coiffure. Meanwhile, the fancy for chains, earrings and other decorations threatens to develop into a craze for tho enrichment of the jewelry trade. Crepe de Chine. Naturally crepe de chine often serves for overbleuses. The mills must have been running overtime to supply the world with this fabric. There Is no single garment a woman wears that cannot be made of one of the weaves of erepe. There are many, as you know all alike, except for certain roughness of the surface and thickness of the weave. All are borrowed from the Chinese, except the kind that comes from Morocco. There are new blouses of thin crepe de chine which are chosen In neutral colors In order that they may be embroidered gayly and brightly. These have square sleeves, collarless round neck and loops of crepe de chine that fall over the hips to the hem of the skirt in a cascade effect. Skirt Trimming. If there is any sort of trimming or a dress it is to be found on the skirt. The most attractive afternoon govn are often made in somber colors. ver smartly cut and absolutely plain. (): course it takes an expert to make a simple frock look elegant, as cutting P a real art.
