it without showing my unwillingness
to have that friendship cemented.
"And leave Virginia alone?" I ask

"Virginia has a date," announced
Phoebe almost sulkily. "She doesn't
worry much about leaving me alone
when Mr. Blake invites her out."
A shade of expression flickered
across ' Evvy's face and was gone

"Why don't you girls stay here?"
"That would be fun." I suggested.
"Oh, no home dinner In our to

"And you're a youngster yourself,

•In Pennsylvania there is a fire
that has been burning continuously
for sixty years. It started in a coal
mine and spread to surrounding de
posits. How much fuel it has waste
fullv consumed cannot be even ap
proximately estimated.
The story has beetr handed down
that the fire was started when the
lamp in a miner's cap came in con
tact with an oil-soaked timber as
he was leaving the mine at the end
of a day's work, and that the next
morning the tunnel entrance was a
roaring furnace.
It is said that more than one mil
lion dollars has been expended in
efforts to extinguish the fire, all iu
vain. Now another attempt is to be
made. The plan Is to strip the top
of the mountain which overlies the
burning section, remove veins of coal
that He in the path of the fire, and
thus "starve" it. The area to be
stripped is about a mile long and
four hundred yards wide. The strip

depth of forty feet.

OUR CHILDREN \J
A Series of Plain Talks to
. By Ray C. Bry, A.8., M.A.
President of the Parents Association. N.
There's nothing that a child can
be taught to do properly—without
j practice.
If he ever is to walk properly or
' run properly, he must have prae
i tice; if he ever is to talk properly or
write properly or play ball or think
i or do anything properly he simply
must necessarily have practice. It
; is'impossible to accomplish anything
with any degree of perfection with
out experience.
And the proper management of a
bank account is no exception to the
rule.
Some parents feel that an allow
ance probably would be a good thing
j for their children but simply have
; never put the plan into operation,
while others are wondering whether
I it really is a good idea or not.
For example, one father writes to
1 me:
"My boy is fourteen years old and
is beginning to tease me for a great
j deal more spending money than he
! used to. Do you think it would be
I well to give him a regular allow
ance? If so, how should the mat
, ter be presented?"
Yes. give your boy an allowance
of not less than fifty cents a week.
Approach him on the subject
(somewhat in this fashion: "Clarence,
let's go into the drawing room and
talk over the matter of your future
a little—why. I was just thinking
| that you're getting old enough now
j to manage and take care of a little
| more money. I'd like soon to give
I you a little tyianctal interest in my
! business and so I'm going to test
you out with a little money and see
if you can make good. I think you
can. I am going to make a regular
little contract with you. My part
of the agreement will be to take fifty
cents out of my salary each week
and over to you. Tour part
l of the agreement will be to keep
the premises in apple-pie order, and
do all regular chores and errands

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICK FAIRFAX
Is He Sincere?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am almost nineteen and have
been going about with a sailor for
the past few months. During a
week that I was away, he wrote nte
' frequently, his letters being very
sen Omental. He comes to the house
and has met my family. He told me
he loved me and made all manner of
promises. I really love him aird do
not want to lose him, but I doubt
his sincerity. About four weeks ago
he broke an appointment with me,
but said he was sorry and said it
was due to his navy duties. I for
gave him, but it happened again. I
also disappointed him the last time
he came to see me, but told him the
reason, which was a good one. But
I have not heard front him since.
Now, Miss Fairfax, do you think it
advisable to glve % him up, or wait
and hope? H. M. N.
If the young sailor falls into the
way of being negligent and indif
ferent. I should say that you will
have no choice but to give him up.
But if he has a good explanation
for his lapses, perhaps you are do
ing him an injustice. If you have
a really frank talk with him, won't
that help to determine the question
of his sincerity? You have, of
course, been friends too short a
: time to understand each other well.
Vnliappy Family Situation.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am nineteen, but appear,to be
a man of over twenty-one. In buq
ineks I made several friends, one,
young lady in particular, who is two
years my senior. We live but a few
doors frohi. each other and our
friendship became such than we are
together more than we are parted.
My mother abused me for this
friendship and when the girl found
out what had happened, she just j
had to weep.
Though I have made many friends i
I am not allowed to go anywhere. ]
Almost all my evenings are spent
either in business or at home.

cidentally to the amount he spends,

I for useful and needed articles in
whiclf case you could enumerate
j them, speaking of one after another

ance. this may depend partially up
on your capacity for giving but
mostly upon what the boy really
needs" for spending money. Some
boys demand more than others and
j this fact cannot reasonably be ignor
ed.
While it sounds, all right in the
ory to say that the child should be
j able to spend his money in any way
lie desires, do not forget that in all
things, children need direction at
j first. So make friendly suggestions.
: Let vour child see you make pur

j to turn down many things yourself
j and that you make a special effort
I to' get the greatest values for your
| money.
Vour child under this system will
i get experience—not mere experience
j of handing money out—but helpful
j practice in the art of spending and
j saving money. All children should
1 have this advantage.
How can I help myself besides
talking nicely and trying to explain
my honest convictions. H. J. S.
If you are self-supporting, it
might be just as well, since you are
I man-grown, for you to find lodging
outside your own home, for a while

on your parents, you will doubtless
1 have to continue to make conces
i sions to them. It is of cpurse, ex
tremely painful, since you are a
I young man of high principles, for
: your mother to misinterpret a
friendship of yours, bqt since the
young lady herself is not alienated,
that is really the important thing,
isn't it? And sometimes a friend
i ship maintained under difficulties is
stronger for that very reason.
I ORPHAN'S LOVE THOVBLES
iDEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
| My misfortune in life is that I do
'not remember my mother. I was
i brought up in an asylum, and when
II reached my sixteenth year, was told
I to try to support myself. I entered
a paper-box factory, for )$ a w-ek.
Before long, a . nice-looking chap
wanted me to go out with him. Not
knowing him, is refused. He accom
panied me to lunch several times, and
I have found that he is a well-bred
boy. He cares for me a great deal. In
fact. I learn from my working mates
. that he is deeply in love and will do
I his utmost to gain my love. But. as
I have no parents or friends to look
after me, I ask you to please advise
me.
S. B. .
Tou cannot be too careful, especial
i !y when you are so'young and unused
to the world, in insisting on reliable
J introductions In the case of every J
boy who wants to know you. It is
not an easy matter for a 16-year-old
girl~ to steer her way through the
dangers of life alone, but a girl as
.brave and responsible as you appear
to be is doubtless equal to the situa
! tion. I hope your friend may
I prove to be i'rreproaChible and that
you may have many happy times

LITTLE TALKS BY
BE A TRICE FAIRFAX
Baby gardens have so far bios-,
sonied only here and there.
But I 'believe that In ten >ears
from now cities and towns will be
abloom with them.
They are going to do away with
nursemaids, and also with the over
working of older sisters. They are
going to simplify life enormously for
distracted mothers. Vet their real
object is quite different from any of
these.
Baby garderts are planned to pro
' vide the best possible conditions tin
der which little children or from one
j to three years old can be happy and
, comfortable, and develop naturally
lin health, strength and Intelligence.
Some mothers won't like this
I idea—until they really understand
! it. They will Say that they prefer
|to take care of their own babies,
thank you, and that they have no
I intention of allowing them to be out
| of sight and reach for an entire day
at a time. What in tho world did
they have babies for. if they arc go
j ing to deprive themselves of the op
portunity to love them as much as
they like?
I Perhaps the best way to convince
a mother who talks like this is to
show her a baby garden in actual
operation.
A couple of largo sunny rooms Is
the Indispensable setting—supple
mented, of course, by bathroom,
kitchen, sleeping-porch and outdoor
playground. Three persons at least
| will be in charge—a specially edu
: cated woman who loves and under
stands babies, a trained nurse and
a scientific cook, who knows how
to prepare food for young children.
In this environment there may bo
as many as a dozen babies. Some
body will have brought them from
their homes in the morning and
j somebody will come to fetch them
at night. During this time they will
be fed properly, they will take long
naps on the sleeping-porch and
they will be eneouraned to play as
much as they, like, outdoors or In,
according to the weather, and either
alone or with Children
who wish to be alone are gtven a
floor space set apart by screens.
Best of all, they don't come into
collision with grown-up life and
grown-up plans and grown-up fur
niture—things for which they are
perhaps punished at home.
, _ Comfort for tho Young.
Nothing of this sort can happen,
you see. because there are absolute
ly no grownup furnishings in a baby
garden no upholstery, no tric-a-brac,
none of the fragile things that adults
are always so frantically engaged
in protecting. Neither are there any
of the highly dangerous objects that
babies often encounter in a kitchen
—a range, a steaming kettle, a flat
iron.
It Isn't so uncomfortable to bo two
a,nd a half feet tall If pne isn't con
tinually giving mysterious offence to
the surrounding group of giants and
if there are chairs and tables of
one's own size. Indeed, it's good fan
to be small. One has such a light,
free feeling. . Ar.d before one's legs
get too long one can see ever so
much better what is going on in the
gVass and- on the ground than the
giants can.
That's the real beauty of a baby

Draw- from one to two and .o on to
garden—that it's designated, for the
babies themselves, and if anybody
feels any discomfort there it's • the
grown-ups who stray in.
Now, you can't prevent a baby
from learning things all the time,
whatever you do with llim. It's the
learning age. But in a baby garden
a buby is helped to learn certain
accessary and valuable things.
Thus, they are taught to help them-
I selves, as far as possible; to feed
themselves; as soon as they aro old
: enough, to dress themselves, and
! even, at a very early stage, to pick
! up their toys after they have finish
ed play. Ahey are taught to be con
; siderute and unselfish with each oth
: er and not eternally to be insisting
i on the importance of "mine."
i They are taught to love animals
1 and to be kind to them. And they
! learn familiarity with plants and
flowers, and something of how these
grow. And whatever natural im
pulse they may have to "make"
things Is as far as possible encour
aged—whether with blocks or clay
or pencil. And even the tiniest ones
; learn to run and jump and climb,
i A baby who is well and interest
ed and who Isn't slapped and scold
led doesn't whine or cry. So these
j are happy babies.
Start u Baby Garden.
A mother njighl admit that all
these conditions are desirable and
yet feel that the whole question was
settled by the fact that no baby gar
den flourished within reach of her
own family.
But it is perfectly easy, if not for
one mother, then for half a dozen
neighboring mothers, to start their
! own baby garden. It will be im
mensely interesting to work out the
; details of it themselves. And they
will learn a great deal while they
are doing it.
In any case, don't dismiss this idea
as a mere fad or "frill." Did you
know that it is a great deal more im
portant to provide the right con
ditions for children who arc too
young to go to school than for the
j older ones? Did you know that the
j time between nursing and school
i age is really the critical period of
his life? That if you ever are go
ing to "take pains" with his health
and education, you ought to do it
then, even though he hasn't reached
the reading, writing and arithmetic,
stage?
These years make up the most
j impressionable period in the life of
a human being. In what way are
you going to choose to have vour
particular child moulded and train
ed?
ft s, probably true that a mother
who can give her baby all he needs
at home doesn't need to send him
Ito a baby garden. But how many
can?
The mother who employs a nurse,
or that undefined and totallv un
equipped creature called a nurse
maid, for her babies, surely isn't
doing much for them. A nurse can
keep the children clean and take
them on more or less melancholy
little walks outdoors, but only a su
pernurse is fit to be entrusted with
all the questions of their health,
happiness and general training.
The mother who cannot afford to
hire any relief for herself, and who
has to combine baby tending with
cooking, dishwashing, sweeping,
sewing and the personal demands
made by her husband and older chil
dren, may love her baby very much
It Is true. She may cuddle him pas
sionately whenever she hus time,
and she may love to feel him cling

Silk Is Supreme in Paris

Bv NOELIE DE LA SABLERE
Special Paris Correspondent to The American Silk Journal
THERE is a closer relationship
existing between the silk and
I the woolen situations than ever
| before, and the condition of these
lines seems to be somewhat re
versed. Silks are occupying more
of the position of the fabric of util
ity formerly held by woolens while
the woolen materials have mounted
to a height not previously attained
by this class of goods. As a result
silks are making profits for the
manufacturers while the woolen
people encounter all sorts of diffi
culties.
The French manufacturers of
woolen materials were located in
the northern region that was but
recently reconquered by the Allies,
j There are not many of the former
woolen mills remaining. One sees
nothing but ruins on every side as
the Huns have removed looms and
machines, entire stocks of raw and
manufactured materials and de
stroyed the factory plants. Conse
quently some of the dress goods
manufacturers have established
plants in Lyons and various other
I centers. Their volume of produc
| tion, however, is very much smaller
| than it was before the war in con
| sequence of the terrible difficulties
I they had to encounted. There is
but a small quantity of wool pro
duced in France, and a certain
i amount is imported from England,
but whatever its source the price is
.exceedingly high.
So with wool scarce and dear, the
| prices for woolen dress fabrics are
| prohibitive. Some of the ordinary
qualities command four, live and six
times the price they brought before
the war. A good material for a coat
or a tailored costume is now worth
twelve dollars a meter.
To minimise this high cost of
, woolen tissues, couturiers employ as
small a yardage as they can because
' they strive to keep down the high
I cost, and it is. one of the reasons
why they are making dresses the
' narrowest' and shortest ever seen.
I Of course, as the old saying goes,
I "it's an ill wind that blows nobody
! good," so is it in the case of wool
j versus silk. The high cost and
j scarcity of woolens has materially
j benefited silks and placed them in
I a splendidly strong position. While
| the prices of silks have (advanced,
j they are still lower than woolens,
1 and consequently, as a matter of
I economy and utility, silk reigns su
j preme in Paris, while wool is re
' served for certain kinds of cloaks
j and coats and for trimmings.
There are some woolen novelties
that may be revived in silks. They
are the long-haired tissues, scraped
Jerseys and the like, which have
been named "lion of Nemee," "cub,"
"orang-outang," "oisella," all of
them names which give the impres
sion of something that is either
hairy or fluffy. These materials have
a very decided vogue und though
they are wool and on this account
may not be of interest to silk people,
they are, however, Indications of
the tendency toward fluffy-faced
stuffs, and I am sure that slmllar
sorts of materials made of floss silk
would be very successful for the
summer. It would not surprise me
to learn that certain French manu
facturers of silks are about to intro
duce such materials for the new
season.
Among the novel silks much
talked about in the first-class cou
ture houses is one called "Cache
mire Marocaln," a silk cachemire
with a special finish that causes it
to look like skin.
New is u special Jersey de sole
which recalls to the mind the an
cient coats of arms and is called
"cotte Bayard." It is used in sev
eral of the best houses for making
Very pretty and effective gilets and
trimmings.
The new silk plushes indicate the
style tendencies of another winter
season. The pile is very thick and
closely Imitates the most expensive
furs such as chinchilla, sealskin,
beaver and others. The plushes are
used as a substitute for the real
furs which this season are extrava
gantly high in price. They compose
entire garments, most of tho trim
mings as well, and at a distance pass
muster for the real furs, -a nin.a

cul and another called "peluche
craquilee" shows several shades so
arranged that the effect is like that
of a panther's skin.
"Bayadere" plushes are shown in
large stripes. Pekin stripes are also
obtained with plush stripes in relief
on a satin ground, stripes and
ground being of different color or
of different shades of the same
color. Callot employs these materi
als for dresses and dressy gowns.
The favored shades this season
are those of the preferred furs, and
in the high-grade couture houses
the blege shades are not unlike
beaver tones. There are chinchilla
grays and sealskin brown with tho
different shades of drab from tho
falntlest to the most vivid violet
drab shades.
New arrangements in plaid pat
terns and colorings are worth men
tioning. Some are interesting for
their choice of colors and others for
| the originality and order of tho
plaiding. They show audacious color
combinations such as dark blue
combined with Adriatic blue and
emerald green or else a red and
green ground is divided by big yel
low squares. Some of the very fin
est grades of silks show tartan dis
positions on satin, voile, crepe do
| chine and crepe meteor grounds.
Figured tissues are in splendid
vogue for dressy models and cloaks
and are highly favored for the rich
and sumptuous toilettes to be worn
at the functions that will celebrate
the victories of the Allies. The
French government has granted
permission to wear evening clothes
for all occasions and the Parisian
couturiers are busy with the new
creations.
Some of the tissues figured with
velvet motifs are exceedingly orig
inal. For instance, there is a pat
tern with odd figures representing
flowers and trees and large pheas
ants, about twenty inches high and
twice that in width. There are two
of these pheasants to the width of
the tissue and four of them to the
yard. The pheasant plumage colors
are. reproduced and the grounds are
.beige, drab, blue and gray. Bro
cades and figured satins are much
employed for linings, even figured
satins with motifs of panne in relief.
In the use of both woven and
printed figured linings for garments
and furs a great variety of pattern
themes are used and include motifs
inspired by Japanese, Chinese, Hin
doo, Persian, Moorish and other
Far East design influences. Promi
nence Is given to designs in the art
modern conception showing odd
flowers in glaring colors on a black
ground. The vogue of bold colors
and lurge figures in printed silks
has inspired Parisian couturiers to
use them for lining cloaks. One of
the most admired of these patterns
is called "Persian' hunting," the fig
ures of the hunters -being repro
duced in all the brilliant colors of
the Persian court costumes.
A midwinter novelty is called
"satin frileuse," which, being trans
lated. means a warm satin for those
sensitive to the cold.
There is no letup in the ribbon
vogue. I must mention the return
of the large sash sheathing the top
of the hips and falling in large flaps.
For' this purpose only wide and
heavy ribbon is employed in order
that the ribbon way drape without
flapping about. Those most favored
show marvelous shadings and- are
either brocaded or broched in silver
or gold motifs on contrasting color
grounds.
