Every year the question as to the ad visability of children studying at home to agitated pro and con, but we never seem to reach a conclusion. Some par ants seed to think that their children are not doing well in school unless they study at night, and others take th upaajsats view and think that the teacher to not doing her duty during school hours if aha requires pupils to study at home. Of course, much depends on the child, hut In nine oases out of ten it is sot advisable for a -child In the gram mar grades to do any home studying. When school is over they should have the rest of the day to attend' to home duties or to play. The child who studies hard at school ana then goes at It again in the even ing Is sure to have a one-sided develop ment and will probably be broken down rn health before the school days are ended. Girls are more likely to be so affected than boys. They have not. as a general rule, the concentration that boys have. They will study on the same subject for a longer time, not be cause they arc slower to comprehend, but because It takes them so long to learn to concentrate the mind. A boy will study hard until he Is ready to quit then he quits altogether whereas the girl will be haunted by her studies even after she has put them by. It la mors essential that pupils should understand their work than that they ahould go over a certain amount dur ing the term and they can better ac complish thla by doing their studying at school. If pupils, boys and girls, arc taught habits of concentration they will not be obliged to put in their evenings pouring over lessons. Many parents have the bad habit of helping children with their lessons at night, and as a result the children grow to depend on this home instruction and pay less and lees attention to the teacher. They think It does not matter whether they understand her explanation or not; they will have mamma explain when they get home. This habit leads to the school becoming a place for dwadling and home the school. They do not have a real play time nor a real study time. In Bombay cotton mills an average worker, laboring It hours a day, earns about St cents a day.

The Duke, who is the head of the Ouelph party in Germany, was married to Princess Thyra of Denmark, sister of Queen Alexandra and the Dowager Queen of Russia. ullks are extremely soft and lustrous and of a nature to drape artistically But, though silk is to be counted among the fashion leaders of the coming sea son, yet the tailor-made ailk aulta. con sisting of skirt and coat, which haye been so fashionable all through the aprlng and summer, will be considered he lat ent in atyle for early fall wrear. On the other hand, though black-and-whitt silks have bean fashionable thin summer, they will still continue to be In high favor. Many of them will show the stripe broken here and them by the Introduction of a printed pompa dour dealgn, an empire wreath, or some small conventionalised pattern. One of the most popular styles for fur coats next season will be the short fu'l sack reaching only to the waist-line. On a trim figure these little garmenta look extremely nice In pelts of a compact character such as sealskin, ermine and the st IN popular and alwaya becoming moieskln. hor those to whom a more tight-fitting style of coat appeals the new Jackets reaching Just below the hips are both novel and becoming. The bo lero, of course, la too useful to disoard entirely, and t have seen some pretty models with a neat roll collar and cuffs of braided pastel cloth which are certain to be papular favorites. Rather a striking novelty, which Is fresh from Paris, Is a prlnceaa pinafore of Jet so thickly applied as to form a regular coat of mall. The decolletage may be lightly awathed with whit tulle and provided with very alry sleeves to correspond, this being one of the favor ite methoda of combining black ami white at the moment a combination of colors that Is. by the by, still as fash ionable as ever. Lace coats remain among the most popular vogues of the hour both for tea frocks and dinner gowns. To accom pany them skirts of soft plain fabrics such as nlnon, marquisette and the ubi quitous crepe de chine are the correct wear, flat graduated tucks or flounces being preferred to lace Insertions as a decorative detail. Pine silk muslin makes an Ideal tea frock, surmounted by a coat of Irish guipure bordering wim wnue moire cut on the cross and finished with buttons of fine old oast or porcelain. WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE The csar has signed Finland's consti tution so suffrage for the women of the country Is secured. They are even eligible to seats In parliament, which places them ahead of their Australian ana new aeeiana sisters, who possess full suffrage but are not eligible as members of parliament At Louisa Courthouse, Virginia, a little while ago the women were per mitted to vote to decide which of two teachers should be retained for the High school. The election was held in the courthouse, there were regular printed ballots and the Richmond Leader says mat mis was perhaps the first time that ladles were permitted the privilege of voting in that state. After It was an over the district school board met and calmly elected the teacher, not the -peoples choice," as Indicated by the election, but the other one. A good example of the way that "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." e e There Is a strong movement in Hun gary for woman suffrage. Francis Koe auth supports it, and more than half of the municipal counsellors of Budspest have declared in Its favor. e The court of appeals In Florence, Italy, haa decreed that women who ap ply for registration shall be enrolled as voters. This decision is In line with thet of the court of appeals at Ancoun, in the case- brought up from Slnlgaglla by 10 teachers, already famous la news paper headlines as "The School Ma'ams of Slnlgaglla" The first woman to pre sent herself for registration at Florence was Louisa Matteuccl, wife of the pro fessor who so distinguished himself at the last eruption of Vesuvius. Lady Frances Balfour, in an Interview in the Boston Tranacript, says that the "Suffragettes" have done more to arouse public interest than she and the other old workers for suffrage have accom plished In 40 years. She feels no In clination to criticise their methods, and to those who have gone to Jail for their principles she spplles In all seriousness the name of martyrs. e t Louis Emery Jr., candidate of the Democrata and Lincoln Republicans for governor of Pennsylvania, came out boldly for woman suffrage In a speech at a grangers' picnic the other day, . in - -- - - While London's smart set long ago realised to what a degree It had fallen under the American sway, the recant tour of the King and Queen of Spain through Scotland brought out that fact with decided prominence. Alfonso and his queen made extended visits to two famous Scotch caatles sad In both Instances their hostesses were American women who had married Eng lishmen. That Spanish royalty was never entertained more charmingly goes without saying. The first visit or the King snd Queen of Spain in Scotland was toFyvie, where they were the guests of the beautiful and accomplished Lady Lelth, who be fore her marriage was Miss January of St. Louis. At the celebrated Drummond castle, the seat of the earls of Ancaster, , the royal guests were received by Lady Wllloughby de Eresby, who assisted her mother-in-law. Lady Ancaster, In doing the honors of the castle to their royal visitors. Until last year Lady Wllloughby was Miss Klolse Lawrence Rreese 'and lived with her sister at 35 East Twenty-second street. In New Tork. She had a country place of her own at Tuxedo park, sailed her own yacht and Is still a flag member of the New Tork Yacht club. She is credited with being worth H, 000,000 in her own name. - Drummond eaatle la known for Its lovely terraced gardens and for Its park with Its oeech and lime avenues. Roy alty, sine's the days of Queen Mary of Scotland, has always favored the place. Queen victoria and the prince consort visited there for some days 70 years ago. b HHU I Two American women who entertained the young King and Queen of Spain in England. On the left is Lady Leith, nee Miss January of St. Louis, now mistress of Fyvie, Scotland, where she received the young royal couple. On the right ia Lady Wllloughby de Eresby, formerly Miss Breeac of New York, who entertained Alfonso and his bride at the celebrated Drummond shown below. where these was a crowd of 40,000 per sons. In support of his position Mr. Emery cited jils observations of the workings of woman suffrage In Colo raft r v- - J Minnie Reynolds Scalabrino, formerly of the Rooky Mountain News, Denver, now a magaslne writer In NeF TOrk City, has contributed a "Carrie CHapman Catt Box" to the Colorado traveling library in appreciation of Mrs. C'att's services in the campaign which secured full suffrage to the women of Colorado. The Illinois Socialists have nomi nated a woman for state superintendent of public instruction and two women for university trustees, and as there are women candidates on the Republican and Democratic tickets also, a woman to sura to be elected in Illinois this fall. e The women of Minnesota protested so vigorously at the decision of the attorney-general that they might not vote at the primaries for members of school boards, that he haa modified his opinion. He advises that the votes of the women be received and kept in separate boxes so that If any one desires to take the matter into the courts It can be done conveniently. heir to the throne oT Brunswick, it Famous Women ByMrgirt Delsnd 01 always feels that authors must reveal themselves In their books and surely this Is to a great ex tent true. i It to only possible to write convincing ly. of things seen and felt, if only In the imagination. Mrs. Deland does write convincingly and her work shows such comprehensive insight that un consciously when thinking of the woman we think of tha author. She expresses her own outlook gn life through her characters. When she makes Dr. Laven der say, "As I get older there la nothing more constantly astonishing to me than the goodness of the bad, unless It is the badness of the good." we seem to be listening to Mrs. Deland's own voice. She has looked on the world with eyes thst see beyond the externals to the vital realities of existence; she hss re adjusted valuea to meet 'bar larger con ceptions, but through it all she haa got lost the sense of humor that mingles with the pathos In her stories. Her faith in humanity remains unshaken She always remembers that "God's in his heaven; all's right with the world." Mrs. Deland writes of the common people, the sort you live next door and have known all your life. She doea not invent wonderful and unnatural Ethel Roosevelt and Her Taatea. Alice Longworth, when she was Alice Roosevelt, the eldest daughter of the president, was the Idol of the people and received enough attention to turn the head of any ordinary girl, but Alice had the common sense that haa always dis tinguished her father. She liked at tention and showed, that sha .liked It but she never allowed It to change her from the simple American girl she has always prided herself on being. But Alice Is now Mrs. Nicholaa Longworth and Miss Ethel will make her debut. She to not as devoted to society as her sister Alice nor are her tastes at ' all similar except In the matter of loving all forma of exercise. She is perfectly at case on horseback and rides her blooded mare. Lady Dancer, daily. She to very studious and supends much of her time with her books, in fact Mrs. Booeerelt had to limit her reading to two hours a day on account of her henlth. It la characteristic of Miss Ethel that the bookcase In her new suite of rooms was designed by herself and by the way this .Is the suite formerly occupied by Alice. Ethel Is very demo cratic In her,' friendships Snd Is much liked by her schoelmatea aside from the position that Is hers on her father's account. The Bride's "At Home" Day. Many fair June brides are now plan ning for their first "At Home." They are settled In their new homes snd are anxious to have the "At Home" a suc cess. A most pungent bit of advice Is. don't attempt anything elaborate. Tour new home to sure to be attractive and V 'gi'lli 11 I 2 4.11' f I vr if mm & l & WmQ I Haven't Met altuatlensi liei uharaeuri If hat wound up and warranted to say a certain thing at a given time, but are natural, lifelike people who do and say what real peo ple would. 4, It is characteristic of Mrs. Deland that ahe called her first book of essays "The Common Way." The common way that Is yet so uncommon because It Is like life. Mrs. Deland loves flowers and her garden is full of the old-fashioned va rieties; hesrtsease, love-ln-a-mlat. sweet wllllam and baby breath grow and blossom under her loving care. Her first volume of poems wss entitled "In an Old Garden." She la a New England woman and lives on Beacon hill, Boston. But she is not bound by the New England con ventions, for her sympathlea are too broad and deep, har humor too subtle. Mrs Deland'a lateat book, 'The Awakening of Helena Ritchie," has had a wonderful success. People were anx ious to read this new book by the author of "Old Chester Tales" and "Dr. Laven der's People." They felt that they would net be disappointed, for her touch was too sure to falter. Nor were they, for the book, although a departure Into a somewhat- new Held, Is successful and the first editions were soon sold. dalnty-looklng and you may have the refreshments well served without re sorting tohe help of the caterers and hired maids as one young bride did to her everlasting regret. The maids, not knowing the ways of the house, spent much useless time looking for things; they carelessly broke some of the cher ished wedding presents and absolutely spoiled the bride's afternoon. Have tha "At Home" In the after noon If It la possible for the bride groom to be present at that time, otherwise have It In the evening when he Is sure to be at leisure. Have the house prettily decorated and be sure to have plenty of open space where women may gather In small groups without danger of knocking over a priceless vase or other breakable ar ticles. It Is a pretty custom to have the bridesmaids to help the bride re ceive at her first formal reception. it is hard to know Just the quantity of refreshments to prepare and It la well to ask the advice of some matron who haa had experience In thla direc tion. Send ypur "At Home" cards about two weeks In advance. Aa you will not receive answers U Is difficult to 'tell Just how many will be present. About half an hour is the time vis itors are supposed to stay, but old friends sometimes stay longer. Remember, little bride, to look your best and dress In your prettiest. Don't wear yourself out over making the house look spick and span and forget yourself. And moat Important of all don't worry. From the time you 'lasue your cards to telling ths last guest farewell son i worry. HAVE you ever atopped to consider the work and alms of the public school T If we would give this subject more thought there would not be such a diversity of opinion as to the uaes and abuses of this system. There will alwaya be ascertain class of parents who are anxious to turn the child over to the state as soon aa pos sible. They throw off all responsibil ity. Including the formation and de velopment of character; they care noth ing about the methods of teaching and management, but only wish to be re lieved of the care of the child" aa much as possible They expect the teacher to accomplish wonders and fsel injured that there ia no school on Saturday. There Is little hope for Improvement in parents of this type, but we have only to reflect on the sort of training theae children would receive if it were not for the public school, to realise the Inestimable benefit of that institution. Then there are the class who are blindly opposed to the public school, and seise every chance to rail at the school system in general and some teacher in particular; they Invariably take the child's part against the teacher and are Indignant if their ehlld'ls pun ished. They complain that parents are compelled to buy too many books; that the grammar school course Is too long and there are too manv frills to educa tion in our public schools; that children do not learn enough, and that the In struction given is not practical. It Is easy to find scoffers, especially among those who do not understand their subject. If you are one of these scoffers study your subject, visit the public schools snd talk with the edu cators who are Interested In this sub ject and have given It much study, and find out whether your objections are well founded and If so what la the rem edywhatever you do take an interest TRY THESE RECIPES Tomato Sauce for Spaghetti.

In the work of the school. As to the superiority of a public over! a private school there are two things! to consider. What do you want thai scnooi to do for your child, and whlchl school, public or private, can best carry! out your wishes. We live In a democratic countrv and I the public school fosters the quality of I rniocracy. it doesn't specialise but ves a good practical working educa tion with most attention centered where it ahould be on the three "Re.". I thing that the public school tends to make more loysl citizens and develops a more self-reliant people. if this la wnat you want for your child, send it to the public school, but If you want to give it special culture along certain tines ana to accentuate class distinc tions, the private school Is the place. The great majority, however, have no choice, and to them tha public school is an unmitigated blessing. It is tha only chance of education, and all have divine rights of equal development la so far as this Is possible. Olve sn Individual the chance to help iiiiubii ino ji as aoesn t taits advan tage of tha chance, the Individual, not the state, is to blame. ' There ate high school graduates to day with no solid education, no real knowledge of the subjects studied dur ing their school life, but this is not the fault of the school. The school strives to develop the fullest efficiency possi ble to each Individual can more than that be accomplished? Every cltisen of the state owes a debt to the public school and every pupil of the public school owes a debt to the bite. The public school should be a school for patriotism: It should teach these future voters how to vote Intelligently; teach children to think and to decide questions on their merits and not through prejudice. Deaf. Margaret Deland In Harper's. Oh. Lord, I cannot hear; dld'st speak. oh Lord? My soul Is deaf; oh. speak so I may hoar. Dawn trumpets on the hills, and draws her sword. All glittering from its scabbard of the dews. And, hearing, with a shout-Day's hosts arise. Quick, st Spring's footstep on the April snows The daffodils peur fragrance to the skies.

All these Thy children seas, and stars. and men . Liaten, and answer ss they understsnd. I do not answer, for no word Is clear; And yet I listen. Lord, I listen, too But nothing reaches me. I cannot hear. My soul Is deaf; Lord, speak that I may hear. Dainty Things for Baby. There never was a time when baby was so daintily clothed aa now. The most exquisite hsnd embroidery Is lav ished on the tiny dresses, lace of cob web fineness and the material Itself as sheer as can be afforded make these little clothes things of beauty. Baby clothes do not require an outlay of money aa much aa time, for the work must all be done by hand. Dresses are made to hang full from the neck on. else have amall yokes, either round or square. A good and simple way to em broider these yokes Is to draw Inter linking circles snd then featherstitch them. This is quite aa effective as the more difficult embroidery work. If Valenciennes lace 1 used Itshould be of the finest. It Is much better to use no lace at all upon a baby dress than to have It coarse. Dear little silk kimonos In pink and blue are good, and one young mother Is making? them of sheer white and dec orating them with shadow work. Sha Intends to put them over a plain color. Baby bonnets are prettiest when made of lace with an Interlining of silk. A large rosette of narrow satin ribbon with knotted loops is put on the left aide.

A small cape with hood attached Is mftch liked for wear In the house when draughts are feared. Touching Tale of a Dog. From the London Mall. A touching incident took place at the Brentford police court, when a frail old lady, 14 years of sge, entered the witness box snd explained that her son, who was very poor, and who was her sole support, wss lined 27s some time ago for keeping a dog without s license.
