How stall helpless man recognise the itomm of his acqiiaintanw is a question which may be exercising the ingenuity of some kind- hearted individual in the near future. Consider, if you please, the confusion and discomfiture of the masculine element in our university if the young women of that institution were to take it into their pretty heads to change their blue eyes to liquid brown, or vice versa, simply ,by the application of the psychological principles of color in the ewtfee of their gowns. Even greater change may be wrought for the association of hairdressers now assembled in Chicago has sent forth the decree that to be perfectly* costumed a woman must wear a wig to match her gown. What transformations may we* not expect to see. Verily "Solomon in all his glory" could never nave dreamed of being "so arrayed." ' ♦ ♦ *s ♦ • CAN IT BE SO? The wit who formulated the conundrum, " Wfcy does a married man live longer than a single one!" and its answer, "He doesn't; it only seems longer," will have to revisetm idaaa^in the light of the recent report of the government that the bachelor is more, likely to become the victim of insanity than is he who has assumed the burdens and worries which fall to the lot of the head of a family. According to those who know it requires use to keep all bodily tissue in a sound and healthy condition, Here may lur^ a crumb of comfort for the harassed family man when he receives the contribu- tion of the postman on the first of the month. The stimulus which that budget gives to his mental tissue may be the means of increasing its strength and fortifying it against untimely decay; an advantage not possessed by his less fortunate and carefree brother with no family ties. â- â- '♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ .. SHALL WE FOLLOW? One of the speakers at the meeting of the State Federation of Women's clubs in Aurora the other day expressed her opinion that the fundamental cause of the divorce habit in our land lies in the igno- rance of the principles of cooking on the part of the wives. Maybe so. But while the ladies are equipping themselves with sufficient knowledge of the culinary art to hold refractory husbands, we mighty do worse than consider some of the provisions of the new divorce laws which are now under consideration in England. It seems probable that at last the same grounds for divorce shall obtain for women as for menâ€" infidelity, desertion, habitual drunkenness and incurable insanity. These conditions, except the last, do not differ materially from our own. That part of the provision which seems to us most worthy of imitation, however, is the restriction of publicity of divorce proceed- ings by confining the hearing of such eases to the judge alone and pro- hibiting the publication of the evidence or of the port raits of the par- ties concerned. Certainly this would react favorably not only upon our young people but upon society in general ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ "' AN INTERESTING REVIVAL Chicago is to experience the revival of the "Spelling bee," that old-fashioned pastime which has for some years suffered undeserved neglect and disapproval on the part of the student. Even yet the de- sire to spell his native language correctly has not become the ruling passion of our public school boy for it is to the public in general that the invitation to this new form of an old entertainment is addressed. The spelling bee is to be only one of a variety of forms of activity planned for in each of the twelve social centers of the public schools of Chicago, organized for the purpose of recreation, amusement and instruction. There are to be games, folk dances, singing, gymnasium classes, lectures, moving pictures, everything that tends to make life pleasanter and better in a social way for the youth of the community. But the needs of the older people have not been forgotten although tfcr plans" for that feature of the enterprise are as yet indefinite. It is proposed to establish a "citizen's bureau" through which the foreign born element and the illiterate class are to be instructed in legal mat- ters and affairs pertaining to citizenship by men of sufficient training to speak with authority. The originator of the plan, Mb. Hahbt Lipskt, is to be commended for his good works and should have the support of the public spirited everywhere. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ A BIT OF THE LONG AGO ^: If the pilgrim, weary of the hurry and stress of life as he finds it in this era of progress, should find himself in tie little town of Old Deerfield, Massachusetts, what a sigh of relief he would breathe! There one hears no factory whistles nor other evidence of modernity. Instead there is the sound of the hand-loom and the chatter of cheer- ful women, as their busy hands work at the craft of their grand- mothers. It was after the death of William Mobbib, that master of handi craft, that there burst upon these quiet people a desire to revive the industry of their ancestors, the braiding of rugs, the making of bas- kets and the working of beautiful blue and white counterpanes for ^ old tourjpostera. One old lady was found who was wfflma; and eveB-.aiious to ttsca the young fingers of tlw eommunity the secret she had known in her girlhood, and from this small beginning has Brown, the industry which occupies the,spare moments of all the women of the colony. Back family specializes in some branch of the work, one weaving draperies, anoUier knitting wonderful counter- panes and testers, still another braiding and sewingr Wfcfc but all co- operating for the good of the community. These women are able to accomplish ao much without sacrificing the duties of name.
