MANY GIRLS WIN CAP AND GOWN THROUGH THE DUSTING CAP ROUTE

Exodus of Fair Co-eds From College Halls to Kitchens Will Start With Ending of School Term.

With a transformation quite surpralsing, the fair co-ed of the fall and winter month will be quite another person during the days of summer. Indeed, it Is a question If many of these fair young students would be recognized by their classmates were they to be found at their chosen lines rr-of work during the summer months. For many of the girls who have been only students during the academic year will during the vacation period be farmers, chicken fanciers, nurse maids, traveling companions, waitresses, . kitchen maids, dry goods clerks, soda water dispensers, cooks, book agents, fruit pickers, dressmakers, milliners, governesses, and goodness knows what else. Just the minute school closes, books will be packed away, and the summer's business of winning the wherewithal which shall pay for next year'B school expenses will be the all-engrossing occupation of their minds and bodies. And it is surprising to know how many girls are earning their way through school, by their work during the vacation period. The business acumen which some of the fair coeds or our educational institutions demonstrate in financing their school and college course would do credit to many an experienced business man, and many of these girls so cleverly plan the whole thing that they make plenty of room for recreation, the while they are doing It. It's In the spirit of American girlhood today, the spirit of Independence and enterprise that these girls find their Inspiration for all this determination and effort to pay their own expenses while they are attending school. Surrounded by progress everywhere, they are loath to be. content at, home with nothing' but a narrow existence and Inevitable marriage as their end in view. They want to achieve; they want to succeed; they want as much of learning and culture as they can have. And they want to earn It." Indeed, many a girl who does not need to do It works her way through school, paying the largest - share of her expenses. And many a girl has wended her -' way to the cap and gown wearing the gingham dusting cap and apron.

Fabric Vogue Has Invaded Smartest Millinery Fashions This la the season when fabrics play an important part in the millinery. All sorts of combinations of fab tics with braids and straws are used, and the effect is always that of softness and beauty of line. The vogue of the Tarn o'Shanter crown has made this possible to a considerable degree, while the furore for Bulgarian silks and crepes has still further emphasized the tendency. Veilings of tulle, soft draperies of crepe de chine In the lovely flowered and

Bulgarian effects, combinations of channelise with hair braid, and lovely frills of lace and even embroidery on the lovely lingerie hats all are employed In this modish 4Tp millinery of the summer season. f

Unusually lovely are the colorings made possible by the vogue, and never have the hats been more becoming or more beautiful as creations of the milliners' art than those decreed by Dame Fashion for midsummer wear. The combination of materials in the millinery models is quite In line with the combinations which characterize all the season's styles. In gowns and suits there are the same exquisite combinations, all of which makes for great possibilities in the designing of milady's wardrobe. ' Flowers of the loveliest hues are to be used for trimming, though the hats are not loaded with trimmings as In some former seasons. However, everything which is used in the making of the season's millinery must be of the finest quality which the purse will allow.

CHILDREN

HOW TO USE MONEY PROPERLY

Virgin blue, sapphire and dresden still hold supremacy. All the new evening gowns have the sheerest possible bodices. Silk stockings, with openwork more clocks, are In favor foV evening. The fashionable coiffure clings more closely than ever to the head. Many coats have the cutaway fronts, the dressier being more extreme in cut and raised at the waist line. The fastenings are made under a buckle, frog or decorative button. Some of the new square collars on linen dresses are fitted smoothly to the shoulders, and small linen ties finish them. The prettiest nightgowns are the simple kimono style, with French slightly fitted backs and rounded necks. That Is the condition under which the boy and girl in the average American .family is being reared.

If all of a sudden some money should fall to you, and you had never handled a bit of money before, even though you were a person of matura years, if all your life everything you needed or wanted had been furnished to you without one bit of thought or struggle on your part, do you suppos that you would know how to handle that money when you received it? Of course you wouldn't. You know perfectly well that you would not have the slightest Idea of how to cara for it, to spend it or to save It. Yet that is exactly what fathers and mothers are expecting of their boys and girls today. All during their boyhood and girlhood dys, during the formative period of their lives, money is furnished them at their request whenever It Is possible. The children know nothing of the effort expended in earning the money, of the value of It or of savin It. As a result they develop wasteful habits, they are extravagant and they

know absolutely nothing about handling money. How can they expect to know the

value of money when these methods

are followed. It's a good system which Is followed In many Kngllsh homes of giving to each child a monthly allowance, of requiring the child to buy his own clothes, books, gifts, etc., and providing for his spending money out of that sum. The allowance should be with in the means of the family exchequer, and this will serve to teach the child the important lesson of living within his means. Under the supervision of parents wise enough to follow this plan, any boy or girl may develop into a careful spender and saver of money, and Into an economical thrifty cltlsen. They will naturally know the value of money and Its proper use. It's much the same system which In used In many of the Holland families' In which the children are taught to raise and sell vegetables, and In this way earn their money. It all reverts to that old proverb, "Teach a child In the way he shall go, and when ' he Is old he will not depart from it."

Real Sympathy Comes from Experience

(BY BLANCHE DRAPER.) She was the daughter of a broken home. Separated from her mother at an early age, she was placed In a family where during her childhood days she worked for her board. When but a slip of a girl she married a poor man. Then she was the mother of seven children. By dint of hard work and neverceasing economy, she brought up the little" brood. Then one day, when her family was practically grown up, there came a call for sympathy from a mother in distress a mother who had been deserted, left homeless, penniless, alone with a little family of children the youngest but a few days old. "With her big heart wide open to receive the unfortunate mother, this woman, this daughter of a broken home, this hardworking, wife and mother of seven children, responded Immediately, and opened her home as

a refuge for the homeless little group. Out of her little she gave much, while others who during alt' their years had been cradled In the lap of luxury, stood by and offered only empty words of pity. Ioesnt this prove beyond question that if adversity has no other compensation, this much cannot be denied, it develops a capacity for real human and effective sympathy which can be developed In no other way. Because this woman had suffered much, she was able to love much; and because she loved much, she sympathized much; because her sympathy was real, and came from a genuine loving heart, trained In the school of experience, the sympathy was vital, effective and worthfuL Here was an opportunity for service which was open to hundreds, but it was the heart of the woman who knew the pain of real sorrow which was the first to respond. What the world needs today Is more of this real human sympathy, and less of the cold-hearted pity.

May Day Frolic May Be Made Most Merry Social Function

Dainty Chiffons Are tq Be Used in Developing Smartest Styles in Evening Coats

Can you Imagine a more delightful party for the spring time than a May party ? During recent years May parties have not been quite so general as In the days of our mothers and grandmothers, but, nevertheless. May day furnishes an opportunity for the hostess to give a most enjoyable entertainment, entirely informal and appropriate to the season. There's something so happy, so refreshing, so thoroughly delightful in the suggestions afforded by the mere mention of May day, so much of the picturesque, the quaint, of nature and the big outdoors, that the girl who is planning a springtime party could have no more delightful a function. One young girls, noted for her unique and enjoyable parties, gave an unusually charming May day party last year. On her choicest correspondence cards, decorated in one corner with a cunning Kate Greenaway maiden, she wrote Invitations bidding her guests to "come drink a cup of tea at four o'clock," and bore the

tea at four o'clock." and they bore the posies. When the guests arrived they were ushered into a room where were a number of flower receptacles filled with water. There were work tables on which were cardboard and paper and ribbon for making May baskets, which, when they were completed, were filled with the May flowers. These baskets were hung on a line, each basket being numbered. The "tea" was served in the dining room, which was a bower of artificial dogwood and real cherry blossoms.

Tiny artificial butterflies hovered about

amid the flowers. ' The supper was served, as far as possible, in May baskets. Following the supper, young men who had been invited for the evening arrived and acted as judges of the baskets a prize being awarded to the prettiest one. Then the baskets were taken to a nearby hospital, after which the party returned to the home

of the hostess where a candy pull was enjoyed, completing a merry frolic. May day breakfasts and luncheons may be quite as delightfully arranged, and at slight expense if the hostess be clever and original.'

xim jjl&ikss GIRIi WHO IS A PARASITE, v

(By Blanche Draper.) A menace to the employees In every business place in which you are employed are you, the Business Girl Who Is a Parasite. I know it doesn't sound exactly nice to call you a parasite. But that's precisely what you are. You fairly exist upon what others do for you, and you never hesitate to ask them to do these things either. You are the girl who always spends her money before the week is over, and who is always borrowing of her associates. You are the girl who always has forgotten her umbrella, or her raincoat, or her rubbers, or who must needs borrow a hatpin, a sweat

er coat, or some other similar thing with which other girls have provided

themselves, but which you expect to enjoy only by borrowing. Your greatest fault Is shiftlessness.

Added to this you lack self-respect and dignity, and in addition to all this it's a question in the minds of many of your associates as to whether your

intentions are really honest.

Why don't you brace up and make

up your mind to be inependent. to depend upon yourself, and not expect others to look after you. Sacrifice, deprive yourself of pleasures and comforts if necessary, spend your money sensibly and with a purpose. But whatever you do, make up your mind not to be the Business Girl Who Is a Parasite.
