tial for the follower - of , fashions to
know how to handle the; ribbons' as .lt
la for a follower of the ponies. ' Quite
racy effects can be accomplished t by
either expert. Nowadays, when an en.
tire costume Is evolved out of just a
bit of ribbon and just a bit of. lace, it
is not BurprisinK that the modern maid

of satin and velvet. She finds there Is

The next' step in "the lengths that

est fad among summer girls . is - the
tying about their necks of a yard and
a half of bebe black velvet, knotted
under the ear, the long loops and ends
dangling . frivolously in the balmy
breezes. Especially with thin flowered
crepes and. organdies, and fluffy frocks
of net and lace, this Frenchy touch is
decidedly alluring and will no doubt
prove an - effectual "forget-me-knot"
among many wearers, summer swains.

AVERAGE ANNUAL LIVING COST OF .
FAMILY OF FIVE PERSONS IS $1200
Pigest of 200 Family Budgets Results in' Some Interesting and
Authoritative Conclusions.
(Copyrighted, 1914, American. Society
for Thrift)
About 200 family budgets were
studied by Mrs. Martha Bensley Bruere
showing how the family income is
standardising itself. . She considered
what she calls "middle class families."
chosen from all over the United States,
those who have an average, income of
$1200 - for five people. Mrs.' Bruere
eays: "Judging from the budgets we
have collected, I do not believe that
anywhere in the United States: a fam
ily of father, mother rand three chil
dren, of which not more than one is
ever 14, can be run .decently or effi
ciently for less than 91200.. a year or
its equivalent " no matter how
wise buyers its members may. be, or
how sraalp their appetites or modest
their demands in clothing. I believe
that the minimum wage scale is going
to eliminate those ' unfortunate: ones
who are not getting . enough of what
they earn to come up to that sum, and
a more thoughtful care of dependents
Is going to frankly and directly pro
vide for- those .defectives who. cannot
earn a living wage. Either. that or we
must reorganize industry: and business
so that people can get what now costs
$1200 for much less." . v

some of them . averaging - more : than
$1200 were considered. Mrs. Bruefe
found that these families spend $447.15
for food whether they buy or-raise it,
estimating that It costs , at least 35
cents a day to keep an adult man in

A good text book for any man or
woman studying the science and art
of government is "Political Parties
and Party Problems in the United
States," by James Albert Woodburn,
professor of American 'history and
politics in the Indiana university. I
quote a bit from his introductory survey:
"It is quite certain that the study
of politics in American schools and
colleges has received a notable in
crease of attention within the last
decade. Other educational agencies
the home, the press, the pulpit.' the
literary club, the civic federation
have all been emphasizing the need of
civic training.
"To study politics in any serious
sense is but' to make a large use of
history, ' to learn the lessons of ex
perl en ce" for future guidance. When
we come to reflect on the . political
spirit' of man and the wonderful part
it has played in the history of the
world, especially in the Anglo-Saxon
state, lt will be conceded that no part
of man's being is more worthy of at
tention and cultivation. It is a field
which a great teacher, Thomas Arnold,
has called the most important for the
ripened . human mind that one may
become a factor in the greatest prob
lem of human history, the problem of
governing man. .....
V Politics and Character.
"But education in politics is not
chiefly a question of knowledge; it Is
a question of character. As the wit
and wisdom of Sidney Smith long
since observed. The only foundation
of political liberty is the spirit of the
people.' It is not forms of govern
ment nor-the machinery of parties but
civic character on which the state relies.
Mrs. Margaret Josephine Blair.
"Because of this close and vital re
lation of politics to ethics and because
of the direct dependence of national
character on political conduct we may
well conclude that De Toqueville was
right when he declared that "politics
is the end and aim of American edu
cation.' If the life of the republic de
pends upon the moral character of Its
citizenship all Instruction should con
stantly, if not consciously, keep in
view this aspect of political educa
tion. '
Hattar of Personal Concern.
"Horace Mann used to say that
what America wishes to put into the
life of the nation she must first put
into her schools. But no saving force
can go into the schools of a nation
that does not first exist aa a vital
force in the nation's homes. In all
periods of our history politics should
be brought home to the people; but
the present, lt seems to me, is a time
when this demand should be made es
pecially, etnimatfc:''- Ordinary political
Issues may. not call for discussion in
school and home.
"But when the political rectitude of
the people ia brought into issue; when
rich men are known to buy their way
into high office; when it becomes an
actual question whether a state shall
surrender Its virtue to outrage and
its people to pillage; when unscrupu
lous men deliberately, openly and on
blushlngly set about to corrupt the
electorate of great commonwealths
and yet are permitted to stand for the
highest. honors of their states at such
times ordinary issues would seem to
fade into insignificance, and appeal
should be made to the moral forces
that constitute the foundations of our
political society.
"In the race of such issues teach
ers, -parents and the moral pastors of
the people should make politics a mat
ter of personal concern."
An interesting and ' widely : konwn
visitor in Portland last week was Mrs.
Margaret Josephine Blair, professor
of domestic art in the University- of
Minnesota since 1897. . Mrs." Blair's
activities, however, have not been con
fined to her college work, as she is
a prominent lecturer before women's
organisations, institutes. , at : exposi
tions and similar enterprises. A series
of 12 lectures .were given by : Mrs.
Blair In the woman's building at the
Seattle exposition and she baa ; been
heard in Everett and Spokane but has
yet to make a Portland appearance.
Nor do Mra. Blair's accomplishments
stop with her lecturing, for; she is
the author of ' "Garment Drafting."
"Systems of Model Sewing," . "Practi
cal Courses of Graded Sewing Texts'
and "Sewing Basket Stories" as well
as being a regular contributor to the
Youth's Companion. For two years
she was national chairman of the
Federation of Home Economics and,
for eight years state chatman. of th ;
same organisation. Mrs. Blair baa also :
