To have the opportunity to look

doubt of e.reiit value to any girl. Ami

tain that whatever they milneil was

the experience nnd "discipline" that
the ulrls Ruined were couuterhiilanced
tiy tlie resentment mid cense of Injus
tice which they developed as Wllllmn
hecaine old enough at least In their
Judgment to relievo them of their re
sponsibility. Wllllmn was no less n victim of clr
iiiiiiHtiinccH than his sisters. It was
his fnto to be the youngest nnd the
Daly hoy. It Is bail enough to be the
youngest, and It Is bud enough to bo
the only boy or the only girl. Hut
the combination of the two handicaps
Is In many households qtilto Insur
mountable. Hut every child Is unburn, If not In
ono way then In another. And so ev
ery child Is likely to derive advan
tages from his peculiarities as well as
to bo handicapped hy them. The older
of two brothers was of the "accommo
dating" kind. A neighbor said to
Charles that lio "always gave In be

.fore nnd tifter." Hy this slio meant
Unit lie always did what he could to
'avoid friction In advance; but that
when un.v altercation arose no was
then ready to make further conces
Hlons and yield. Ho would not let his
preferences stand In tlio way of peace.
,ThlH was so miuked that whenever
trouble did arise It was quite natural
for Henry to receive tho blame. Hut
later It becumu possible for Charles,
In his quiet way, to mako trouble In
tho certainty that Henry would bo
(blamed.
. It Is quite proper for us to recognize
itliu fact that tho children uro not
alike nnd to take tho differences Into
consideration In our Judgments and In
our other treatment of them. Hut
two must not let our classification of
children stand lu tho way of substan
tial Justice. It Is qulto prolmblo tlmt
Jlenry was tho troublo maker nine
times out of ten, and an understanding
of Charles' disposition was very help
ful to the parents. Hut each case, as
It arises, should bo considered on Its
merits and not on tho earlier general
ization that Henry Is usually at fault.
Tho actions of parents, like nil
movements In the world, tiro nloiuf the
lino of least resistance. And thelfcen
crnllzutlons we mako about our chil
dren furnish channels that arc often
helpful, but occasionally dangerous.
So It hnppened that Helen, whom ev
eryone knew to bo noisy and aggren
bIvo, often suffered for her nervous rep
utation. Ono day her mother heard her
voice berating Edward, whllo tho cliil-
mmwMmm
sflBft mmm
droll were at the edge of the wrtrr
She could also see the blade of mi oal
raised menacingly In the nl r. Of
coni-M', Helen was up to some mlsehlo!
mid was abusing IMvvnrd. Khe started
for the shore In the Interests of peace
and Justice. Hut when she eauio near
enough she saw that the quiet and
unobtrusive lMwaril was the real ag
gressor. Ho held out his foot to Indi
cate where Helen was to land her
bout, mid as the boat did not strike
exactly In the Indicated spot he would
fdiovo It out again. This he repeated
several times, until Helen was exas
perated beyond self-control. The
mother admitted later that had she
not seen the performance herself she
would have considered Helen respon
sible for the filetlon, without regard
for the girl's pleas In extenuation.
In the distribution of tusks and re
sponsibilities of u household among
the children there will necessarily bo
lucipiclltlcs la age ami strength and
also on account of Interests. Some
children are more obliging than others,
and at one stage the child Is more
eager to go on ormuls than he will be
later. It Is perfectly legitimate to
allow such Inequalities. Hut we must
not let the less-obllglng child take ad
vantage of the more helpful brother or

him to evadu his tasks through sub
terfuge or through persistent refusals.
Let George do It, If he will, for hu
likes It and It Is worth his while. Hut
do not let the others defraud them
selves by leaving too much to George.
The education of the child In Ideals
of equity must come In largo meas
ure from tlio give-and-take of his rela
tions with other children, whether In
the homo or outside. Hut this must
be supplemented with the pervasive
Inlluence of sympathetic, yet detached,
Judgment of older persons.

In the big preparedness parade
which took place tn New York In May,
and which set the example for other
preparedness parados nil over the
country, Dlgby Hell, thy comedian, led
a company nmdu up largely of actors,
theatrical managers mid playwrights
from the Lambs and the Players clubs.
The marchers moved In wide Hues
HO (atireast, extending from curb to
euro of Klftl. avenue. All went well
with dipt, nigby Hell's squad until
they reacl.ed Korty-Seoond street,
where an lrlo of safety for pedestrians
stands In the middle of the asphalt
roadway.

Mr. Co.'.dles was suffetlng from
that rundown feeling. In fact ho
might have sat as a model for the ar
tist who draws those pictures every
one of which Is alleged to tell a story.
A bright Idea came to hlm namely,
that he should lslt some friends in
Hradford, for he knew that there was
no care qulto equal to Yorkshire hos

them when he caught cold and had to

One of the most Interesting gowns
tinning those displayed at the season's
Initial style show tempered the itlry
frivolity of net skirts wltn a rich over
garment of embroidery. This over
garment was a bodice mid panel com
bined, nnd was sleeveless. The color
ings were In the blues, greens, bronze
ami black of the peacock feather,
which Inspired the designer In a cou
rageous elTort to Imitate the gorgeous
Achievement of nature. The effect
was splendid, and a big peacock Tenth-
er fan finished off the toilette. Com
parison was therefore easy and the
embroidery did not sulTor.
Judging from tills frock, skirts re
main as full as they lme been, but
uro not artificially distended. They
are u little lengthened, and this fea
ture of the new modes may be em
phasized as the season advances. The
bodice is In reality an extended girdle,
and the fate of the evening bodice
appears still to hang in the balance.
A few dining models are displayed
In which there Is next to nothing at
the buck of the waist.
In the beautiful frock pictured the
details of the toilette Include a little
sl'.k variety bag. These small, brll
l'.ant necessities of life seem to be
with us always In one form or an
other, and they are attached to fans,
umbrella and parasol handles, walking

richest weaves, ami ornamented with
tinsel luces, beads, embroidery, and
needlework, with metallic threads.

Those w,ho are In touch with present
styles need not he told that there is an
Immense variety In the designs In
which practluil coats 'tire made. Cer
tain style features are" present lu all
of them. Hut to suit Individual taste
there Is a wide choice In materials and
In colors and especially In the con
struction of tho garment.

As to the general sljlo features of
the new coat: Kind, they are long. In
many cases quite covering the dress;
they are made of heavy material, ami
the most Interesting Innovations In cut
and decoration are to be found In the
back of the garment. In colors, be
'sides the staple, standard shades that
are always correct, there are popular
ami stylish new colors. Among them
i he dark, purplish reds, mole, and cer
tain peculiar greens are Important.

a choice, this wide variety In design
promises a becoming coat for every
type of figure, ami the newer colorings
may be experimented with, at least to
test their effect upon the complexion.
Two very practical coats are shown
In the illustration. Hesldes coats of
this kind there aro those that hung
free from neck to hem, and cape
coats, to bo considered. The detach
able cape Is featured on some of the
smart late models. Comfort to the
wearers Is assured In the large turn
over collars and the ample pockets that
are everywhere In evidence.
r.copt for buttons, there Is very
little in the way of ornament on the
tasteful coats designed for everyday
wear, ami even these are sparingly
used. Hut this Is because ornaments
lire not needed. Attention Is centered
on new departures in the cut of col-

PICTURE RECORDS OF WAR
They Will De Valuable as Object Les
sons In Training In the Fu
ture Schools.
A large proportion of the pictures
made in tin: Kuropeun war are not In
tended for public exhibition, says St.
Nicholas. A rigid censorship Is exer
cised over all photographic work by
the governments, exactly as lu the
case of (he mulls and printed matter.
The lllms may be developed lu the
field or In nearby cities, but they lire
not peimlttod to leave the country un
til they have been passed upon. A
board of censors sits In a darkened
loom at headquarters and scans every
detail of the unities as they Hash past.
Should some secret, valuable lu any
way to thu army, lie revealed, it Is
erased or the film Is destroyed.
The presence of the moving picture
men lu such numbers at tho front does
not mean that the governments are
going Into the show business. The
ohnlogruplis thus secured, ut enormous
expense, become matters of olllclal rec
ord and are, of course, Invaluable. In
no previous war has such com
plete photogiaphlc reproduction been
po.-slhic, nnd the government ollicials
IniM' been quick to take advantage of
the opportunity. It Is estimated tlmt
upwind of 10,1 MM) films have been pre
pared by the army movie men in tier
many alone. They are Intended main
ly for educational work lu the military
training .schools.
As Illustration for textbooks ami
lectures, i he war movies will have a
unique value in the classroom. A les
son In strategy, for instance, may be
llliist inteil by a moving picture show
ing the ikImiiicu or retreat of troops
in an net mil engagement. Kvory phase
of military instruction may thus be
Illustrated. The motion pictures show
ing the construction of bridges will
help to train still more elllcleut engi
neers In the future than lu the past.
A caret ul study of their value will
make the great expense ami rl.de In
oled lu securing these Interesting
war pictures seem trifling.
