This more than anything else, 1 be

cism In the home which manages to
make the lives of hundreds of the

miserable.
IT IS all very well to say that a girl
need not pay attention to this
criticism, but It Is very hard to carry
your own convictions unsullied through
the shrapnel of upsetting opinions.
There Is no doubt about It. Criticism
of our friends from those we love has
a way of producing an effect on our
own opinions of them. And so the
harm that parents do In this way can
never quite be calculated. Girls lose
faith In their own Judgment and frit

Write him a friendly letter if you want

not on any account ask him his Inten

You have only known him a month

In the first place, my dear young friend,
it Is not a good plan to go with onlv
one girl unless you are engaged to marry
her. This keeping company Is a mis
take. It excludes all other friends and
(especially as in this case) when It ends
In a break causes much suffering to one
or the other. It Beeins rather evident
that the girl does not care deeply. If
she did she would certainly want to
go out with you or. If not, have you go
see her oftener than you evidently go
now. Start taking other girls out. if site
will not go with you. It would be a
better plan decidedly and will make
her understand you are not to be played

The Red Cross
Why is there an urgent need for
nurses now?
There Is a demand from the army
and navy for 5000 more nurses at
once for overseas service. Only
10.000 lied Cross nurses are now
with 'the army and navy nurse
corps; the Government has asked
the Red Cross to supply at least
25.000. Hence the Immediate call
to the colors of every graduate
nurse In the country for cither
home or foreign service.
What are the qualifications ncc
essary In the Hcd Cross nursing
service?
That a nurse be u graduate fron.
an accredited school.
That she be more than twenty
one years of age.
That she be physically fit. Tho
upper age limit Is left Indefinite,

that with only a few exceptions there
are few really new things for summer
. On the
dther hand, there nre new
as we all know, not new, but then it
! has not been used of late to any great
' deiree that makes It different; and
besides,' there Is comethlng quite youth

The panels are of blue fcetge and are
bound with black silk braid. The deep

entered Professor l-'ne-
fticc at the close of school
tnat afternoon, for a wonder nobody
was there and until the principal ap
peared I kept turning over In my mind
what I meant to say o him, especially
the opening sentences. I had beard
somewhere that n difficult undertaking
Is half done when It Is ell begun : ac
cordingly. In the hope nf bringing the
Interview quickly to a successful end. 1
was eager to make exactly the right
start. But when Professor Kreeland.
after having been waylaid, lie said, half
a dozen limes, finally walked In. crossed
over to the long table whose green baize
top showed many Ink spots, seated him
self in a big armchair, smiled at me and
said, "Now, Alice, what is If" I was
so confused that Hiurst out with pome
thing I had never thought of pin ting
In that form till then- "Professor Kree
land, do you think 1 could teacli schrol""
The words wno no sooner out of my
mouth than 1 teallzed they were tin-

passing mark. Aghast at my faux pas.
I was stan-lilng lor a more auspicious
opening when be leplied- "Why. yes.
some time, if you want to. Pm." with
nnoiher smile, "why not wait till jou
grow up?"
That was just like him' Not the
slightest leference to the pour quality
of my work as a pupil, no suggestion
that It behooved me llr.l to learn .some
thing perfectly myself before aspiring
tn teach anybody else, no hint of sar
casm. Only a friendly reminder that
It would be el to wait until 1 reached
an age suitable for sclfbolteachlng!
"But you see, I t-an'l." was my reply.
And the'vvay I said It must have showi
that although my jcars were few, 1 bad
many anxieties However. It di-veloned
I by and by tint whatever information
may have been conveyed by looks or
manner was superfluous In the first
place. Professor Kreeland had the gift
of understanding; furthermore, school
girls vvmklng for ibeir board and as
concerned themselves, making a sorry
jnh of it were nr : new In his experi
ence. Kinin my first day In the elass

under which I labored at Mrs. Warilng

(lr'evrr, I had no Idra of this; all I knew

with which he received my statement,
that waiting was for me Impossible,
.vbich encouraged me tn go on and tell
I him why.

FARMING
I was talking, somebody opened the
door part way, hut observing that the
principal was occupied, departed without
disturbing us. Among other things 1
(old Professor Kreeland I understood
that college students often paid their
way by teaching district school, and I
vvondeied whether, as a senior In the
high school, I couldn't do the same?
"It's hard work," he replied, "espe
cially In winter. And the pay Is small."
"But now I'm working hard and don't
get a cent for It. What's more." 1 con
tinued with some vvnrmlh, "I haven't a
minute to myself. If 1 were teaching
school I wouldn't have to mind babies
or do housevvoik And -after school I
would be free for my own studying, so
I ought to keep up with my class here."
"flood enough !" This wns a favorite
rxclamatlon of the principal's. "I have
my doubtn utiout anybody hiring such
a diminutive schoolma'am. But it won't
do any harm to try."
He then advised ne tn apply to the
i-ommltrce of half a dozen towns for
the position of teacher for the winter
teim of district school; ibis advice was
followed by the suggestion that 1 write
the letters now, us materials were ready
to my hand. Nothing loath, I picked
out 11 stub pen froVn the. tray on the
table and opened the Inkwell: Professor
Kreeland In turn handed me some note
paper and stamped envelopes, gave me
pet mission to refer to him, wished me
good luck and went home.
In the quiet of the room, which was
broken only hy a yellow-backed bumble
bee droning In the sunshine high up on
a window pane, I composed my first
letter of application for a job; after
making various corrections, I copied It
six times on as many sheets of paper,
in a hand which I endeavored to make
legible ; placed the letters in envelopes,
each one addressed to 11 school officer
In some town which I bad not visited
while canvassing; sealed the envelopes
and put them on the desk for safe keep
ing till I was ready to depart; then
I removed from the halzc-covcted table j
all traces of my work, and put my chair

WOMEN NEED NOT SACRIFICE
ART FOR ECONOMY IN DRESS,
Mrs. Bertha Holley, New York, Leads Crusade Against "Twin
Foes of Tastelcssncss and Extravagance" and--Designs
Novel "Wardrobe"
piULADKLPHIA women who permit 1
their thoughts to stray occasionally
from domestic duties to the chronic In
terest of clothes ma give these thoughts
a thoroughly patriotic twist by consid
ering the sublest nrtlstry In dress as
allied with the shrewdest economy.
Mrs. Bertha Holley, of New York, Is
leading a crusade against the twin foes
of tastelcssncss and extravagance, which
she says nre, ns a rule. Inseparable. Mrs.
Holley bases her plea for beauty In dress
on tho ansertton that, while "beauty has
Its cost. It alone of all things retains Its
worth forever."
"A beautiful dress," continues Mrs.
Holley. "could not be a useless dress, a
dress too elaborate for actual wear, for
In this day we all realize that real beauty
is synonymous with completest service.
The most harmonious lines for a ship
are usually the lines that give speed and
usefulness." ,
Then Mrs. Holley outlines her plan of
a garment which combines the most ex
quisite qualities of color, texture and
distinction with u genuine economy. In
the first place, this garment, or "ward
robe" which. In fact. It Is Is superior
to the ruthless extravagance of fashion.'
Mrs. Holley vehemently condemns the
tyranny of fashion "the r'gld patterns
molding every type and temperament and
condition of womanhood to the same con
vention, suppressing the personal varia
tions which throughout nature compose
the very essenca of beauty and charm."
Kashlons are the deadly enemy to
economy, says Mrs. Holley, and she
Dusk in the Garden

And veiled -with lavender,
Must be. jijj daylipht garden
Where nil the plueans were!
Blue dusk upon mil eyelids,
Your elfin trhlms disclose
The moth that is a flower.
The wings that are a rojr.
Make haste, exhale, your steeetness,
Vor you must vanish soon :
The garden will forget you
At rising of the moon.
A glory dawn's predestined
Of old to banish you
And bind you fast with rainbows
In dungeons of the dew.
And who icill then remember
Your cool and gossamer nrtf
Ah, never moon may exile
Your beauty from my heart!
