CURRENT NOTES.
Many women of limited incomes
often manage, through a wise expendi.
ture of their funds, to present an ap-
pearance of elegance which frequently
surprises their more favored sister
ani this they do by taking advantage
of the market and buying at reduced
cost, out of season, the go ds for whieh

The women afraid to anticipate the
season, lest their gowns should be out
of style, have yet to learn that the
secret of being well dressed lies in the
study of individual, rather than of uui-
vereally accepted styles. She who has
barely two Pandred dollars a year to
spend upon her wardrobe, and yet is
always dressed with elegance and neat-
ness, well knows that oue gown rust
gerve many purposes snd so she fush-
jous it accordingly. She will not spend
half this sum on an eleborately
trimmed «lk, suitable for but few oe-
casions, but will buy justead a li ‘ht
weight cloth of some nen ral shade,
which wil, when properly made, do
duty on numberless occasions. ,

Dulwitiing the Teacher,

any the best
of & modern vkid.” This was never
more fally demonstrated than it was
the other dav, right here in one of
the Chicago schools. In some of the
schools the old-fashioned and unnat-
aral method of teaching free-arm
writing is emploved, and the children
are obliged to twist their bands over
unnaturally in order to obtain the free-
arm movement. In order to insure
this position, the teacher places a small
shirt-button on the back of each little
right band, as piano teachers some-
times place pennies on the backs of
their pupils’ bands. This is done to
insure the keeping of the hand in the
«eorrect” position, for if tipped in the
least the button slides off, and thus be-
trays the erring scholar. This button
arrangement is quite tiresome to the
children, and they complain of it st
The other afternoon a bright
returned from school and
said to her mother: “Mamma, 1 kept
the button on my hand nearly all day
to-day.” The mother some
