Watch your children at play if you
WHiit fo know what their future voca
tion should, be, for all unconsciously the
child Is showing you Just where his taU
cnts Ho and the natural trend of his mind
as he plays with his toys.
If you are a. discerning: parent you will
bo able to see that the hard bargains
little Jimmlo drives with his customers
over the counter of his card board play
store bIiirIc him out as a future com
mercial power, while the way the diminu

proclaims that she will either bo u cele
brated surgeon or a writer onsycology.
According to Jllss Carolyn S, Bailey
the lmportunco of vocational playing Is
something that tho modern parent has
not yet quite grasped.
"To tho normal modern child playing
means doing: It means action; It means
creating something, and It's only by glv
Jng tho ohlld the means of creating, or
making, or doing something himself that
you ' really satisfy the child and Inci
dentally learn the child's Inclinations and
talents, which direct the attention to his
woiVin life."
Thus Miss Bailey, who Is young and
pretty, and you wouldn't believe her to
be counsellor und udvlser of many hun

she is the wonderful person wno can
make a perfectly delightful lady or gen

or a parsnip and her cardboard rabbit,
who can move all his legs, his tail and
his head, and wlgglo his ears besides, In
the most popular of her home-made nur
sery playthings.
"Children shouldn't be given the elab
orate and complicated toys which elimi
nate all Incentive to originate and create
on the part of the child. What they
really want b better play material and
more of It. Most children feel like the
little boy who was glv'eii tho very elab
orate toy railway with signals lighted
and run by electricity. When It was all
ert up and running he stood In the middle
of the perfect toy nnd sobbed, 'What Is
there for me to do-?'
"The main thing about playing is the
doing and the great thing about that Is
to find out what a child Is Interested In
and arrange his play along those lines so
that his play will toach him something.
"I Bupposo I can Bhow you what I
mean better by an Illustration," Mis
Bailey went on. "I have a small nleoa
of 8 years who shows a distinct Inclina
tion to become a writer.
"For Christmas she was given ft desk, a
little typewriter, a pair of silver handled
clipping shears, and her play business
consists In going through all the Sunday
newspapers and cutting out every Item
concerning children and children's play
things. For this she gets a little salary
from me every Week,
"She Is learning to ba orderly and ac
curate, for the dippings must be care
fully cut and each one must be dattd.
And her .pride In her achievement Is
superb. She has now hired an assistant
whom she pays out pf her own salary,
and she also buys her own supplies in the
way of wilting paper, for she ustis vast
quantities of that in her literary efforts.
"8he is so Intent upon getting the chll
drrn'a news out of the paper that she
passes by the murders and
children who are homesick or lonesome
and have only tho companionship of tho
magazine children's corner to turn to.
"A Uttlo boy wrote me from China that
ho had cherished a personal letter 1 wrote
to him and during the Manchu uprising
h'e had burled It In the garden for safe
keeping. He was the child of a mis
sionary and frightfully homesick.
"But to return to the child hero In the
city. While It has a great many oppor
tunities, it has no place to play and noth
ing to play with. Generally speaking, In
the so-called play centers there Is too
much pluy direction and children are not
allowed to express themselves In play as
they should,
"I should like to advocate playrooms In
every one the congested neighborhoods,
where the children would find plenty of
simple materials from which to construct
their own toys, and where there would be
no play direction to speak of. And,
eventually, I think we shall have such
Playrooms on the roofs of the new tene
ment houses, which are the only place
for city children to play in safety."

Latin words "per." which means "by" or
"through," and, v'fumus," meaning
'smoke," referring to Incense, which was
the first form of perfume used In religious

Hear Miss Fairfax: There Is a young
man who loves mo "as he has never loveo
before," and I reciprocated his love with
all my heart. This young man has asked
me many times to be kind enough to give
htm a picture of mine; but I always told
him that I could not comply with his wish
before having another dress made. He
I thinks that any picture will do, for he
does not want the plctirre of my dress,
but the picturn of myself.
I know that this young man Is Just
rrazy about having my picture. Under
the circumstances, do you think that I
ought to satisfy his honest desire, re-
! gardless of the fact that my new dress
Is not yet ready T He has been waiting
since last Raster time. EMMA,
Ho la right about the new dress being
of little Importance, and you will be
wrong If you give him a picture. If he
sincerely loves you, an engagement will
follow. That will give you the right to
have your picture taken for him as often
as he demands. Walt till then I
Write nnd Explain.
Pear Miss Fairfax: Not long ago I went
to a dance and there met .a young man
I'd never seen before. We were not In
troduced, but he asked me fur the danoe
and so became acquainted. He wrote to
me and asked If he couldn't call and talk
over things, as he wants to take me to
a dance In two weeks. Now I do not like
to accept his Invitation as he doesn t
know any one I know. JlSTINE.
You do not know him and must not
accept any Invitations from him till you
do.
If ho falls to perceive this, write and
make the situation plain.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young man
II years old and am deeply In lovo with a
young lady who Is about three years my
senior. There are six others besldoa my
self that she goes with. Bhn pays as
much attention to one aa to the others.
Please let tne know as soon as passible
how I con win her away from the other.

Your task Is not as great as If tho re
WerV only one lover besides yourself.
There Is safety In numbers. Seven
lovers will not remain true lovers. If
you are the last one left that will be
due to your courage and persistence.

In iiiituro'a bright blossoms not always reposes
That strange Bubtlo essence, moro rare than their bloom,
Which lies In tho hearts of carnatlous and roses
That tinoxplalnod somothlng by men callod perfume.
Though modest tho flower, yet great Is Its power,
And prognant with meaning each pistil and loaf,
If only it hides thore, if only abldos there,
Tho fragrance suggestive of lovo, joy and grief.
Not always tho air that a master composes '
Can Btlr human heart-strings with ploasuro or putn;
But strange, subtle chords, like tho scent of tho roses,
Dreathe out of some measures, though alniplo the strain.
And lo! when you hear them, you lovo thorn and fear them,
You tremblo with anguish, you thrill with delight.
For back of them slumber old dreams without number ,
And faces long vanished peer out Into sight.

employed or they are repelled.
One associates raro odors with the Far
East and ono finds thorn there.
But at what exorbitant prices. And It
Is a bit disconcerting, after having
searched the perfume bagaars of the
Orient and of Franco for rare scents
and having paid largo sums for small
bottles, to come homo nnd find the very
same perfumes manufactured In America
at much less cost, because of the duty,
and then to learn that our country ex
ports them, a rent Is the America!
The more one learns about the making
of perfumes tho moro wonderful It all
seems. A man whoso business It Is to
ransack tho world for new flowers and
shrubs which yield themselves to toilet
purpose. Bent a lady a tiny bottle, no
larger than her little finger, full of tho
oil of Jassemlne. With It came a little
note saying;
"I send you the breath of 1,000 Jasse
mlne blossoms In this little bottle."
It had really taken as many flowers as
that to fill this tiny bottle, besides weeks
of work of many hands.
The method of extracting tho odorifer
ous properties from flowers, plants and
fruits are by enfleurago process, by dis
tillation. But some flowers are refactory
to distillation; micli as Jassemlne, tube
rote, Jonqulll, The odor of these Is ex
hausted by tho enfleurago process.
The process of extracting odors by en
fleurnge and maperatlon are accom
plished by means of purified grease or
oils which havo a strong affinity for
odor nnd draw It all nut of the flowers,
Solomon wroto: "Ointment and per
fume rejoice the hnnrt."
Tho u bo of perfumery Is natural, not an
acquired taste.
The crudities of the few simple odorn
at command by the ancient doctors and
alchemists have gradually given place in
tho world's development to tho perfection
of tho art today, vperhaps more subtle
and nt least as wonderful us any othor
department of human progress.
There are unworthy "perfumes" made
by the oheap amateur, of common ma
terials, Just o there are In the voca
tionspoor musicians, painters, cooks,
writers and what not. Why condemn
music, literature, art because of them?
For many years progressive physi
cians have, been studying the curative
powers of music nnd colors. Now they
are beginning the realize that there Is
healing In certain odors.
A Paris physician nns started a clinic
for fashionable patients, In which tho
treatment Is entirely carried on with per
fumes. He has discovered that certain
perfumes, If constantly used, have a
marked effect upon the constitution, and,
more than that, they have a strong
power over the mental and nervous sys
tem. For Instance, the continual use of
geranium gives audacity and self-confidence;
mint gives the user a clear bust
ness head; opopanax brings on madness;
russla leather encourages Indolence; ver
bona stimulates a sense for the fine arts,
and violet predisposes to devotion.
Perfumo soems In our wentorn land to
bo a Wholly feminine accessory nt tho
toilet. Some twenty yearn ago fashion
declared that men might uko toilet water,
but no extracts. Over In England, how
over, fashion has taken a swerve toward
tho oriental Idea, and each man of thn
mode Is expected to have his Individual
soent, usually In the form of uti Inccnco
burner, In his personal apartments.
Henry VII 1 of Englatvl was passion
ately fond of perfumos; Napoleon de
lighted In them; Decatur mado a business
of gathering oriental perfumes as ho
cruised about eastern seas; Charles
Dickens doted on perfumes, nnd General
Grant bathed his face In a certain kind
of cologne water day after his bath.
As for Solomon, tho wisest of wlso
men, history has preserved the names of
six perfumes which ,ie presented to tho
queen of Sheba. They were:: Knnant,
myat, meurlgo, sohln, sollhot, sellka.
What n pity that the ajiemlsts of his
day did nbt leave us the formula for all
these.
They wero supposed to possess tremen
dous power over all who smelted them.
Perhaps It was by no means of- these
perfumes that Solomon won so many
wives.
It Is a curious fact that tliera Is some
thing unbalanced and out of harmony
with thoso peoplo who go to extremes In
muBle or perfume madness, and that thero
Is something lacking,. something cold and
repellant, In those who dlsllko either.
It Is easy for one who loves music pas
sionately to become a bore to others un
less the passion Is governed by good
sense. In the same way, It Is easy for
ono who loves perfumes to become a
nulsnnco to others unless good' taste and
refinement govern tho taste.
But may our world never become so
commonplace, so dull, so devoid of tem
perament, that It ceases to care or com
prehend perfumes. They havo their place
In life with .the great arts.
In fact, they havo been known to lnsplro
great arts, great llteraturo, great poems,
great music, groat pitlnttngs.
And It would bo difficult to find a man
or woman who hod experienced a great
lovo who was not susccptlblo to tho In
fluence of perfumes.
And so, my dainty lady;chooso your
favorite perfume; let It become part of
your personality; but beware of choosing
a scent that Is pungent, strong or rank,
and beware of using It -with vulgar liber
ality. L
Let It breathe from you like an
elusive brecie of early summor, and let
one wbnder whero tho delicate odor camo
from rather than bo, shocked by Us. ag
gressiveness. Perfume should haunt, but not pursue.
