When I contemplate these sublime
saortficea, I never know which I want
to do most, to kneel down and kips the
feet of these misguided parents or to
rise up and bat them over the heads
for not having more practical sense,
for 81 times out of 100 all of the suf
fering and toll and deprivation that
fathers and mothers undergo for the
sake of the children's education is ab'
solutely wasted.
All that the finishing school fines
for daughter la to fill her head with
an exaggerated Idea of the Importance
of dress and society, and to make her
mad for pleasures that she can never
have, and to generally unfit her for
me me -sne is destined to lead. All
that son brings baak from eoltege Is
a college yell and purple ooat and a
duu pup, ana a aeiuea conviction that
he knows mors than the "old man."
If all girls and boys were certified
geniuses; u were was even a certainty
that not being geniuses they were made
for knowledge and were bending every
nerve and energy to make the most
of the opportunities given them, there
wuuiu oe some jusurication in parents'
working themselves to death U order
to send their children to expensive
onoois.
As a plajn matter pf fact, however,
the great majority of boys and girls
have small Interest In education for
education's sake, and the err eat ma
jority of them when sent off to college
pena met . time in amusing them
selves Instead of Improving their
minds.
This being the ease, it seems' to me
that it is time for parents to quit sac
rificing themselves to the fetich of their
children'! educations. The Juggernaut
car of the college has rolled over
enough prostrate forms of poor fath
ers and mothers and crushed them Into
the grave.
The present admirable publlo school
system of any of our cities furnishes
Just as much education as the aver
age boy and girl has a mind to take.
After that the . parents shoulud hall
from Missouri and before they deprive
inemseives and their other children of
the comforts of life to give further ed
ucatlonal advantages to a boy or girl,
he or she should be required to give
unmistakable proof of unusual fitness
for some particular calling that would
require special training,
There ara two things upon which
parents stand In need of enlightenment.
One Is that all education does not come
put up in school packages, and branded
witn the name of a famous university
on it. xne most important part of. our
education la not what we get from
books, but what life and work and our
fellow men teach us.
The successful business men of this
age have not been trained in colleges
but have got their education in store
and shop and counting room. Nor need
poor parents feel that because they
cannot sena tnetr children off to ool
leges they are depriving them of the
opportunity or developing the r minds
In this day of cheap books and free
libraries anybody can gat all the cul
ture they can assimilate, and some of
tno most learned people In the world
are self educated.
The second point that parents should
bear In mind Is the necessity of really
trying to find put whether their off.
spring are geese or swans before they
offer themselves up as sacrifices be
fore them. If yJu are utterly sure
urn i aaugnter or son nas every one
of the earmarks of genius, there la
some excuse for going hungry to send
her or him to Paris to study music
or art, but if her voice Is only fit for
the village choir and his art only rises

pathos of all your sacrifices and all the
deprivations you have endured to give

matter sensibly and to realise that If

Why Suspenders Are Disappearing.
Suspenders seem no longer to be a
necessity In man's apparel. This Is not
aue to the vogue of the belt, but to a

Telephone Politeness
By Peggy Van Braam.
The telephone bell purred noisily and.
lifting the receiver from the hook.
heard a shrill voice calls 'Well, my
goodness, you took long enough to an
swer that phone. Is that Katler
"No," I .answered quietly, "It's not
Katie. What number did you wantT"
"What number is thatT" my unseen
companion demanded, and when I gave
it. wiinout apoiogy or tnanns, tna snriu
voice said: "Well, that's wrong. Get
off the wire. Central! Hello, Central,
you gave me the wrong number, If too
g-iris
I hung up without listening to, the re
mainder Of the speech, yet as I turned
away I could not help wondering If
that woman had ever heard of the cam
palgn now being waged all over the
country for telephone politeness, or, if
she had, if she felt that she was one of
those for whom no rebuke was needed
for her words sent so sharply ovethe
humming wires. Wo most of us dp feel
that way and are prone to give our ir
ritation free rein in talking, to unseen
auditors.
Why? Is it simply because we know
we cannot be identified that we feel at
liberty to say what we please? la it
because there is no foroe of personality
back of the voice that issues so mys
teriously from the receiver to make ua
want to be courteous? Or Is it simply
that we, in the rush of modern days and
the haste of whioh the telephone Is
really a part, have forgotten how to be
courteous and begrudge an eitra word
or two necessitated by a "thank you"
or "if you please?"
It's odd, Isn't It, how the telephones
do bring out the wrong side of feminine
dispositions? For I admit it, with re
gret, the rude person on the wire Is
more often a woman than a man. Don't
you think so? Even with due respect
to your sex
For len'tTlt always a woman who
"visits with a friend" on a party wire.
and talks the longer the more often she
hears the impatient click of someone
else sighing to use the phone?
Isn't It usually -the woman who snaps
back, "I don't believe It," If central saya
the wire Is busy? And Isn't it usually
the woman who refuses belligerently to
give her name In response to a quiet
request for it In an office or place where
names ara required by the rules?
And len t H but there, why go on?
If it Is the women, then so much the
better;' for It offers us a chance to do
away with It For If we have formed
the habit of discourtesy, we oan also
without much more difficulty form the
habit of courtesy. .

To Wash Silk Stockings.
It ts something of a puzzle how to
wash silk stockings successfully, but
the following method has been used
with, satisfactory results: Make
soapsuds of lukewarm water and a
good grade of soap. Do not use hot
water as it destroys the life of the
silk. Rinse In clear, cold water -until
free from all soap, then pull the
stockings lengthwise and press with
warm Iron, never a hot ona They

Fringe Promises to Be Fall Fad.
Yards and yards of fringe are being

it la said that this old-fashioned trim

autumn fashions. One frock, recently
Imported from Paris, has narrow
fringe around and round the skirt in
spiral effect, and the coat is elaborate

Fringe is used also on sash ends, and
