Doing the Best
for the Child
, MHE future of th child la al-
way a tha work of Um mother
A Such a sjstsmsnt rrlchtana
and ahonld ba a warning to
tha thoughtless another, whoae children
can aay with' Topay that they "Just
rowed."
Remember that tha futura of your
child food or bad dependa to a treat
extent, if not wholly on yourseir.
Wealth haa little or nothing to do with
the matter; tha mother who la em
ployed during the day and only aeea her
child at night after tha day a work la
done haa the aame privilege of lnstill
Ing beautiful thought and high ldeala
In the mlnda of bar children aa haa tha
fashionable mother of wealth who eeea
little of bar ohlldren night or day. It
la not a question of tha amount of time
devoted to tha child, aa aome mother
devote their whole Urea to their chil
dren and yet do not have1 tha deal red in
fluence, in fact. I think that it la usu
ally thoee mother who devote tha
greater part of their time to their chil
dren who look after tha body at tha
expense of tha mind and aoul. If you
have enoouraged high ambitions and
Ideals in your child then you have dona
the noblest and moat difficult of tasks
whether or not you have been tha one
to give Mm hla breakfast and aaa that
ha weara a clean blouse to school.
Tou have dona, mora if yon have
made him long for an education than
if you had plaoed golden opportunities,
of your own making but not of his
seeking, before him.
The child of poor parents instead Of
being handicapped In the race of life
Is really a favored being for "Necessity
is the mother of Invention.
The little girl whose playthings con
sist of broken dishes and a doll of home
manufacture la storing sweet memories
and cultivating tha moat divine quali
ties of womanhood Idealty and love.
Her childish imagination transmutes the
scraps of porcelain Into gold plat of
untold beauty, and the doll that Would
be acornad by tha little maiden of
wealth la enveloped by a love that la
ao great that aha would pity the rich
child for her blindness.
Tha small boy who must ba satisfied
with the old wheels of a dilapidated
baby carriage. In place of the modern
toy automobile of the boy aoross tha
park. Is not worth helping If be doesn't
construct something that at least will
"go" If ha la satisfied with aa "auto
go" ho deservee nothing more complete
than a disconnected wheel.
Oh, mothers, do not make sacrifice In
order to buy your children mechanical
toys and beautiful dolls from Franco
such plaything anil the perceptions
and satiate the powers of enjoyment.
Many mother are envlou of the rich
because they hare It la their power to
give their ohlldren superior educational
advantages, and if education were a
matter of tending a boy or girl to tha
best college In the land then their envy
would be Justified, but real education
It to much greater than going to col
lege. First put all .your energies Into
the effort to create a desire for educa
tion and then, and not till then, look
to tb ways and moans not alone but
aided by the courageous help of the boy
or girl.
The greatest of all tha many things
that a mother can do for hsr child it to
instill noble desires; to so fill tha Bind
of the child with good that there will
be no need of guarding against temptation.
Personal Influence
IT IB Impossible to realise our Influ
ence for good or bad and yet no
woman is without tome meaaure
of Influence on those about bar.
One of tb truest ways of Judging a
peraon fairly la to consider their effect
for good or bad on others If they have
a good Influence' over torn ons then
they can. not be wholly bad. they must
have one admirable quality at least.
Many woman who go to church twice
on minday and do their duty are yet
not exerting a good Influence on others
and the reason It because they are not
sincere. They preach goodness but re
ally prefer to make few conversions.
They hop to be rewarded for their own
long-suffering virtue and believe that
their share of the reward will be greater
If there are few claimants.
Then there are women in tb world
who think that they have a right to do
a they pleaee with their own life and
If there were only the on Individual
to consider perhaps they would have
that right but life la ao complex that
none can live for and by themselves
alone and one life wasted means numer
ous other live Infected with ale same
vlrua.
The wealthy woman who haa Jh de
sire to dress extravagantly see no rea
son why ah shouldn't satisfy every
whim. She la giving work to number
less women. Tea, aha does give work to
women, who might otherwise be with
out employment, hot consider the seeds
SIMPLE AND NECESSARY WINTER OUTFIT FOR BUSINESS GIRL

this dress made of voile or wash silk
and relieved by a girdle of old-fashioned
pompadour ribbon and a yoke of
tucked chiffon or 'net. Is a simple and
becoming costume.
A wide-brimmed hat with a large soft
bow of ribbon Is always smart and In

Stories About Women

Dressmaking as
an Occupation
TUB work of the dressmaker may
be a work of art In form snd
color and again It may not but
the successful dressmaker must
be artistic.
Portland Is growing, and more women
are needed in every line of work, but
more especially In those occupations
which were formerly overcrowded, sues
as millinery and dressmaking.
Not long ago mu'vnn were oniigea u
earn their living ft ad to choose from a
limited number of occupations and
many chose dressmaking as being "lady
like" and In wotnan's rightful sphere .f
work. The result was so many mediocre
dressmakers that It was almost Impossi
ble for them to earn a living.
Ttmee have changed and numeroua
other occupations thrown open to
women until at present the situation 'a
reversed and there le a dearth of effi
cient dressmakers. There, are of course
many mediocre dressmakers today, and
If you feel that dreeemaktng Is not your
forte leave It alone for as long ss you
remain In a work that la distasteful you
art taking the place of some one who
would be more efficient and to whom
the drudgery would not be drsdgery
for there Is no real drudgery In the work
we love, although there may be plenty
of hard work.
The Importance of the -dressmaker's
profession Is becoming recognised the
world over. The Protective Dressmak
ers Association of America was founded
to protect their Interests and a national
dressmaking school Is to be started In
New York City.
In order to learn dressmaking our
mothers were obliged to apprentice
themselves to some dressmaker and
work many weary months without re
muneration, but now the girl goes to a
school and It taught the different
branches of the work. If she prefers to
learn tailoring she goes to a school
where nothing Is taught but cutting and
tailoring: If she has a knack for making -
dainty party dresses ahe devotes her
time to learning that branch of th
trade, while many learn to make nothing
but waists, both fancy and tailored.
If I were to advise a girl In regard lo
learning dressmaking I should ssy go to j
a school to learn the different theories
and method of rutting and then spend) a
short time in a shop to learn the prac- '
tlcal part of the trade. It le Impossible
to learn the business thoroughly without
going to a shop, and equally Impossible
to learn the trade within a reasonable
time If you begin and end In a shop.
Th school teach theory and the shop
practice, and both are Indispensable. Th
good dressmaker Is slwaye learning
something new. The dresses on the
tags are of Interest because she mi
gain many new ideas In color combina
tion and style from behind the foot
lights. A walk around town will he
full of suggestions, as she will see what
It becoming to the different types and
will profit thereby.
A dressmaker who has many patrons
la alwaya ready to make suggestions as
to styles snd materials. She knew Just
what you will like, and tells you what
the latest wrinkle In the dressmaking
world Is. and, what la more, she will
know hew to modify the prevailing
modes to suit your individual style.
The dressmaker who' has a shop of her
own 1 Indeed lucky, as she Is more Inde
pendent and can develop her own Ideas,
but there Is another branch of the work
that should receive more attention, and!
that Is the visiting dressmaker who goes
out by the day.
It Is almost Impossible to get a dress
maker to go out by the day, although
they are generaly better paid than those
who work In shops.
Why doesn't some enterprising womea
start a visiting dressmaker' association
and have regular patron and good
eamstresses to send out when called
for? Surely such an undertaking would
succeed, and of courje a ahop could be
conducted In connection with the out'')
side work, and In this way there would.
be no time lost during the dull seasons,
aa th girls rould then work In th
hop. It would then he possible to stag,
for a girl who understood tailoring, or
on who could make dainty party
dresses as desired.
