THE ART OF ARGUING
ON DIFFERENCES OF OPINION

Mtte Inttntlons melt like the morning

For It l well
known fact that not
ono woman In ten

of discussion without
losing her temper,

Women are popu
larly supposed to be
Illogical creaturet. and It la small wonder
that auch nil opinion should liavo cur
rency alnce they seldom show any real
logic In their argument. Tho lets some
women know about a subject the more
are they Inclined to air their views
thereon.
A certain oung couple of my acquaint
ance very nearly made shipwreck of
their married life through difference of
opinion on ona point. This point, how
ever, was the friendship which the young
wife cherished for a certain dashing
damsel who was the pet aversion of the
husband. He couldn't understand the
strange preference which his wife showed
for the society of this maiden, and he
did not hesitate to tell her so, and pretty
plainly, too.
"I simply can't stand that girl!" he
announced In decided tones. "She Is the
silliest and most affected woman I have
ever met In my life!"
"I'm sure she Is nothln.tr of tho sort!"
But little wife retorted, loyalty to her
much-loved friend getting quite the bet
ter of her temper. "Mary Is one of the
doverest girls I know, and not one bit
conceited. I Insist that you shall be at
least decently polite to her!. Last night,
when the poor girl was tr)lng to amuse
you with an account of that concert she
ha,d been singing at, jou asked auch sar
castic questions and made such cutting
remarks that you made me feel quite hot
and uncomfortable."
'Very well," was the grim response,
"t. won't offend your friend Mary by my
conversation again."
The next time that the feminine bune
of Contention dropped In to dinner the
young husband sat perfectly silent, re
BRITANNIA NO LONGER
RULES TAILOR SHOPS
London Surrenders Sartorial
Scepter to New York,
Makers Say
London no longer dictates the fashion
lrr men's clothing. That city, long recog
nized as the arbiter In the cut and stylo
or masculine raiment Iibb, according
to tho exclusive tailors of both this city
and new York, lost practically all Its
former Influence In theso matters. This
fall lKe"Amerlcan will wear American
styles exclusively. Gone are the skin
tight trousers and Ill-fitting coats said
to bo distinctive of the London cutter.
Aa a result of the war. New York has
assumed London's former rolo and It Is
quite, likely that It will maintain the
new supremacy even when the conflict
111 Europe Is ended. "American tailors
have decided to assert their indepen
dence." said a well known Philadelphia
cutter. "Hitherto, we always waited for
the decrees from London and would little
think of prophesying the styles before we
received fashion plates from the recou
nted authorities of that city. Since the
war, however,, everything Is different.
England has had little time for design
ing atyles other than those to be af
fected exclusively by the service."
Present conditions give promise of a
prosperous year for the American tailor.
Many wealthy persons who have been In
the habit of Importing their clothing will
now patronize the home shops. One wide
ly known dandy of this city who makes
an annual pilgrimage to England for the
sole purpose of replctlng his wardrobe,
returned this year without a single suit
purchased abroad. According to his new
tailor, this local "Deau Brummel" dis
covered that the London tailors were un
prepared to meet his demands for "some
thing; new" In the way of clothing, so he
decided to return and patronize the shops
of his native land. This man has placed
an order for 15 suits to be cut from Amer
ican cloth exclusively.
8000 Tons of Sugar for Export
More than a million dollars' worth of

A Raindrop
"QAINDROPS. raindrops, won't you go

Over and over again 7-year-old Ned

And over and over again the raindrops
splashed down on the porch as though
they had not, heard a. word he saldl
"Raindrops, raindrops, -won't you go

Down on Ne4'anoe there splashed a

his angry little wife longed to throw

When tho lltor at lenctjtj departed
there was an unfortunate dgicsllc up
heaval owing to the fact of tho afore
mentioned rude hehavlor on the part of
the head of the house.
"It's very unkind of jou not to like
my friends," sobbed the aggrieved little
"And what nbout my old friend Smith?"
was the retort. "You never want him
Inside tho place, and he Is my very oldest
chum."
t
Then tho argument would start all
over again. The young brldo and her
husband were grnduolly becoming n thor
oughly ill-tempered couple when an el
derly relation came to stay with them
and obserfed how affairs were tending.
"About this friend of yours?" she saM
doubtfully to the wife. "It Is really very
annoying for a man to come In tired at
night after a hard da's uork and find
his pet aversion sitting In his armchair.
Also, don't jou think you could refrain
from abusing poor Mr. Smith on all and

a game of give and take. Put up with
your husband's friends and then ho won't

llttlo dinner at home and write a charm
ing note to the oung man asking him
to come and eat It and keep your hus
band company while you and your friend
do a theatre together, it is Just lack of
tact and forbearance which makes you

The young wife In question was a sen-

the advlco that was
being tendered. In

the suggestions she
followed them out

ATTACKS NEW MUSIC PLAN
Public School Director Calls St. Louin
Concern's Scheme Absurd
Enoch W. Pearson, director of music
In the public schools, today character
ized as "absurd",the reported attempts of
the Art Publication Society to have a
course in music which It has designed
adopted here by the Board of Elucatlon.
The society Is a concern with central
oftlces In St. Louis. It Is conducting a
national campaign by which It hopes to
gain approval of the "Progressive Se
ries;," a number of printed music les
sons. Agents of the organization are
said to be canvassing the country trying
to convince tne school Boards that the
"fcerles" should be used.
If unsuccessful In this, It Is the aim
of the canvassers to establish an agency
In the community In which the lessons
are to bo provided. Boys and glrla who
patronize the school conducted by the
publication Boclety would have credit In
the classroom for the work done at tho
agency, according to the plan of the so
ciety. Doctor Pearson has no Idea that the
scheme will sucrecd here. He questioned
tta legality and was Inclined to believe
that the Board of Education would not
even give It serlru consideration. He
declares that If tho school board should
grant Its sanction the nresent svatem
of muslo Instruction In (he public schools
would be disorganized. The school laws
require that all Instruction In the publlo
schools shall be given by certified teach
ers, and It is not likely, In the opinion of
Director Pearson, that certificates would
be given to the Instructors employed by
the society.

A debate ensued. The United States

And the man with a disappointed all,

VELOUR DE LAINE FOR THE
SUCCESSFUL FALL TOPCOAT
THE business glrW whose
work takes her out In
all kinds ot weather or the
college girt who needs a
good, serviceable topcoat
will not have very much
trouble In selecting one
this season. The stylt
quality and servlceableness
all depend upon the price,
ns Is usually the case In
any purchase. I mean that
the smart velour do lalne
coats, with their short,
silky velvet fiber and brll
llnnt linings of figured silks
or messallnes, are ex
tremely fashionable, and.
Incidentally. ' expensive.
They make stunning motor
coats, as well ns being use
ful for street wear.
But the evcry-day topcoat
for practical purposes Is
entirely different from any
of these. Its requirements
are different, and, conse
quently. It Is designed on
utilitarian lines. These
same lines do not neces
sarily exclude attractive
V 'ss nnd stle, ns evidenced
by the smart coat shown In
today's Illustration. It fits
snugly up to the throat,
so that on cold das, when
the sleet Is uncomfortably
In evidence, the protection
of a well-fitted collar la far
from disagreeable.
Navy velour do lalne Is
the material used on this
coat, with self buttons and
patch pockets for the main
trimming. Topcoats are
much more effective If left
almost entirely plain, aa
trimmings of any kind de
tract seriously from their
practicability. The long
rnglan sleeves have simple
turned-back cuffs. a d
mlrably tailored. The odd
little belt confines the full
ness of the coat to the
back, with deep stitched
pockets nt either side. The
flare at the bottom of the
coat la slight, but decided.
A plum-colored continental
hat, edged with beaver fur.
Is worn with this coat.
Fads and- Fashions
Children are wearing
rompers not only In the
morning, but they are
wearing rompers of silk In
the afternoon.
Hats have turned their
attention to color, and the
all-black or the all-white
hat Is no longer the most
fashionable.
The tennis blouse, loosely-,
cut and made of dyed
pongee with embroidery on
collar and caffs, Is one of
the summer's pretty fads.
Charming In the extreme
are the new lingerie frocks
of crisp organdy In white
or pale rose, or daintily
barred with color, cut In
lines demurely plain and
not an atom of lace In their
composition.
Ono pretty blouse of del
icate organdy Is made
plainly with groups of fine
tucks and the sleeve Is

LITTLE VILLAGE SEEKS
'RELIGIOUS EXCLUSION'
Bryn Athyn, Swedenborgian,
Settlement, Opposed in Its
Borough Aims
NOnniSTOWN, Pa., ept. 16. "Bellg
tous exclusion" was shown. In testimony
before the Montgomery .County Court
here today, to have directed the work of
Kichard Newbold In drawing maps for
the proposed borough of Bryn Athyn, the
Swedenborgian settlement In Moreland
township. N. B. Larzelere repreeents
persons In the village who are petitioning
for the charter, which Is opposed by
other citizens in the township.
On cross-examination Newbold admit
ted that all three ot the roads designated
on the map of the proposed borough
were private thoroughfares, which could
be closed at the will of the owners, thus
excluding the public. Ills testimony also
showed, that the village blacksmith shop,
patronized by farmers for miles around,
had been excluded from the proposed
Dorougn.
All properties In the village having
sewer connections and electric lighting
service, were Included, as waa a single
church, the Swedenborgian, and one
small store, 20 feet from the road, where
Ico cream nnd notions could be bought
Newnoid also was forced to admit that
only one house owned by a person not
of the Swedenborgian faith waa drawn
In the plans. Practically all the territory
In the proposed borough,, It was shown,
belonged to John Pltcalrn.
The counsel for the petitioners asked
the court to rule out all parts of New
hold's testimony In cross-examination
that related to the subject of "religious
exclusion." This the court emphatically
refused to do.
Court adjourned at noon. Many more
witnesses are to be called.

Miss Llveright, as many thousands at
Phlladelphlana know, Is head of the TeT
ngoglcnl Library of the Board of EluS.

of the most frequently used libraries ta

Whatever they failed to learn In tl
Normal School or at colleo-e. th T.
easily learn from Miss Llveright i
It is often necessary for the public In. 1
structors to answer questions on subJeeta 1
not strictly within tho curriculum. I
ANSWERS FOn ALL QUESTION'S,
When Samuel Smith meets his coinu. I
Edwin Green In the cigar store and !
other topics fall, tho conversation my 1
turn to political economy, brlcklayinr
psychology, automoblllng or any of tSi
sciences. Mr. Smith may ask Mr. Qren
a question and Mr. Green, Incapable ef I
nnswcrlng, will refer the Inquirer to Milt
oldest son John. The lntiip d.i. -.VVTt
human, tries to shift tho burden on his I
teacher. When the teacher Is "blanked" '
sho calls Locust BOO and confers with
Miss Llveright. , -
The latter niny bo able to answer thi j
question Immediately, for she Is knowafj
to possess a romarkablo amount nt ul 4
formation on matters of varied Imports
But If, by accident, Bhe, too, la "blanked.
sho cun lay her finger at once on a book J
mai is. certain 10 contain the desired
data. The question Is then answered.
The Pedagogical Library was not es
tnbllshed, however, aa n clearing houss
for Information occasionally needed by
tho teachers. It was Intended to U
oevoica entirely to the science of 4
pedagogy, but as the school system de- 5
velopcd and the teacher's standard of I
vuuuro was raiseu, auss llveright found
It necessary to Include standard litera
ture poetry and prose In the list ot
books.
VSPECIAL INFORMATION.
The beginning of tho ngo of specialisa
tion worked another change. History In
structors refused to teach anything else
than history, nnd demanded the roost
complete and profound works on the sub
ject. Often these were not to be obtained
In the schools themselves, so that Miss
Llveright Included them In the library
list.
Philosophy has become an important
study for teachers, as the art of education
no longer means the simple ability to
"keep n class In order" and drill them la
arithmetic as a military officer drills
a group of "raw" soldiers.
"Educntlon," Miss Llveright says, "hss
not only to do with the textbook and thi
classroom. It must adapt Itself to thi
child's mental makeup, to his home en
vironment and his f uturo position- Jn
society. The teacher must not only J
know; she must think." And It Is fori
that reason that the collection .of s
philosophical works In the Pedagogical i
Library Is probably -the largest of Its j
kind In, the city. t
Every employo of the Board bf Educa- 3
tlon has tho privilege of taking books
from the library, and teachers In com-1
munltles outside of Philadelphia may use
the books, but not remove them from the
building-.
Miss Llveright has absolute authority
over the Institution, and she can refuu
or grant the request of each visitor.
