Wli Where I the "Eyery-day" Drew?" The "everyday" dress is passing. So is the "Sunday-go-to-meeting" dress, both of which were well estab lished sartorial institutions a genera tion ago, for in those days any wom an would have been deemed hopeless ly extravagant who did not carefully differentiate between her "best" clothes and those for "every-day wear." "Best" clothes were new, and less durable. They were carefully put away in a special clothes press after each wearing and they were worn reverently, deferentially. At church, at tea parties, for formal calls they came into requisition, and one could not be altogether comfort able in them. One feared lest a show er might come upon one in them and breathed a sigh of relief when they had been discarded unharmed. For everv day there was the alpaca frock, the simple cashmere, the simple linen or calico. But now even the poorly paid of fice vM-ker wears chiffon and lace to her daily task. We wear the same street costume for church and for calling that we do for the "every-day' promenade, and our most expensive frocks c wear with an indifference and an ease that would have been impossible to our grandmothers. Don't you remember when white glomes were reserved for gala occa sions"' And now you wear them to go marketing? There arc two reasons for this change, one the rapid change in modes which makes it necessary for us to wear our clothes out in a sin gle short season, and the other is the greater extravagance of the day, combined with the decrease in the cost of finery. To the lover of thrift or the one who clings tenaciously to all that favors of a generation one there was much of merit in the old sys tem, but in the cause of urbanity and of general ease we are glad to be rid of the "best" frock. Miss V.dith Wynne Watthison re cently said the main trouble with the American voice was due to our ten dency to shout. "Americans," she --aid, "arc not sufficient careful about the lingual and vocal environment and influence of their children. In England we take cr much more care to sec that our children speak correctly. We do not allow them to shout, we try to speak corrrc ' uhcii uc arc with them, and wc "-cc that th-ir companions will not injure their speech, so far as we pos sibly can. "The first tin ig to care for is the vvav in which the child uses its voice in speaking. And I should imagine the best influences would be the Irish and the negro. Both of these use their voices brautifulh in speaking, and the faults of each would be counteracted bv the other, and the tonal influence therefore would be almost perfect." HOROSCOPE.

The Girl was a serious little lady, given to thinking things out for her self; holding life a sacred thing, to be made individually beautiful. The women whose lives The Man had touched were not of her sort, but rather those whom nothing affects deeply, and to whom a flirtation is a daily affair. In the companionship of The Girl The Man found relief from the superficiality of former acquaintances. It was pleasant to go to her when the day was done and be entertained by her quaintness and her sweetness. At first she thought very little of his coming, but after a bit she found herself thinking all through the day hours of the evening that was sure to bring her The Man's companionship, and it was quite a natural thing that she should gradually come to interpret his .-isits as having a serious mean ing. So it was that without fear of suffering she put no restriction on the affections that, day by day, grew greater until she knew that in all the world there was none other whom she could ever love. In the beginning there was some extenuation for The Man's behavior for he did not realize that the sweet companionship he was enjoying was striking at the roots of The Girl's life, until upon a soft summer's evening the daintiness and loveliness of her went to his head iike rare wine, and gathering her into his arms he touched her lips, her eyes, her hair with kisses that carried to the pure heart of The Girl but one meaning. They were their own exquisite language, and she needed none other. To The Man they were just kisses such as he might have given to any attractive woman who allowed them and had no further meaning. So it was that the day following The Girl walked her world in a rosy HOUSE- -WIYES DAILY 52EEAM3& GET READY FOR ILLNESS. RkJLfeiW i 1 WMMmmk WKUmmn SHlurdn, Jnne B, HUB.

And gntherinsr her Into his arms light a song in her heart, and often on her lips, while The Man thought of the evening before as but a pleasant incident of life which he hoped to re peat. And he did repeat it until in the end every fiber of The Girl's being was woven into the fabric of her love for him so that he held her life in his hands to make or to break it. Accustomed to the easy standards of supercilious and sophisticated women, who hold life as a thing to be frivoled away in whatever pleasant way appeals to their moods. The Man amused himself for many months in the beautiful companionship of The Girl, and when he grew tired of his play he folded his tent of love, and as silently as the Arabs slipped out of the life that, after his going, became a shattered thing. The housekeeper who tries to prevent and avoid Illness for the members of her household Is, of course, tho wise sort of woman. .But In spite of great efforts illness will sometimes come. Then the housekeeper who is prepared for It Is the one to be envied. Apparently, to be always right, a woman must so run the house she governs that illness will be forestalled by fresh air, cleanliness, good food, a cheerful atmosphere, a dry cellar and that.'lf It does come. It can be adequately met and coped with. If there are small children In the fam ily, who are constantly subjected to con tagion, as they are. of course. In the public and other crowded schools, a plan should be foimulated for use in case of contagious diseases. Perhaps there Is a third-floor room that could be quickly isolated. There should be a bare floor. Iron beds and simple wooden chairs and table. No other furniture Is needed. A cushion that can later be burned can be used to make the hard wooden chair comfortablo for the nurse. Then bed linen should be so sorted that the old linen, still untom. but soft and 'worn. Is always available for use In case of Ill ness. The mother of the family should alwavs have several wash cotton frocks, which she could don if she took tho part of nurse, and several large white aprons would also be useful. If there is an experienced servant In the kitchen she should be taught how to cook for sick people, so that she can furnish the food called for by the doc tor. If there Is not such a servant, the housekeeper herself should possess a reliable book on invalid cookery, and she should have ready to carry to the quarantined room a small gas stove and two or three simple cooking utensils. In which she can prepare the patient's food herself. Methods of treating disease change so rapidly nowadays that the home nurse should trust to the doctor's di rections for such details. She herself should make an effort not to get ex cited, not to get too tired, and to fol low absolutely the Instructions given by the physician. (Coryncht. IMS.) Signs Urge Neutrality. , In all sections of the city yesterday pedestrians were greeted with an appeal In glaring letters upon the billboards to urge Congress to stop the exportation of arms to Europe The appeal Is signed, The Organization of American Women for Strict Nentrallty." An address in Baltimore is given, where, it reads, blank petitions can be had. Out of the essence of The Man's cruel injustice to The Girl sprang a boomerang which went forth across his life path to gather unto him meas ure for measure. It sat at meat with him in the distant land to which he went; followed him into the most intimate recesses of his thought, assuming various dim, intangible forms which brought so great a depression to his life that he sometimes thought he would go mad. Then he would rise up and fling the thing far from him with a hand so sure, and a speed so swift that he was confident it would never come back fo him, after which his spirits would rise in hope of freedom, and for a little while he would find success, and some measure of peace. However, The Boomerang would but go forth gathering unto itself of its own kind measure for measure and when The Man would begin to feel secure it would come whizzing back to him out of some mysterious space laying at his feet the toll of its being; touching The Man's life in some very vital spot. One day when The Boomerang had been long afield The Man was feel ing so secure in a great happiness that he was boasting to The-Woman-He-Wantcd-To-Marry that the old theory about chickens coming home to roost was all bosh, when suddenly her voice changed into the whizzing sound of The Boomerang. "It has been a pretty little story," she was saving, "but we have reached the last chapter. It is time to close the book." The-Woman-He-Wanted-To-Marry yawned in his face, and when The Man sprang to his feet in poignant pain and indignant protest lo, The Boomerang took new form, standing beside him in grim and shadowy shape. "Who arc you, and where did you come from?" cried The Man. ."I am the essence of injustice, and I came from your heart. "I am The Boomerang which you sent out in a yesteryear, and I gather as I go of my own sort, bringing what I gather back to you." came the voice close to The Man's car and a shadowy hand lifted the veil which hung across the years showing him himself holding The Girl in his arms, blending exquisitely tender words with his equally tender kisses. Then the picture changed. He was standing in the soft light of a waning summer's day, and in his strong hand lay a perfect rose. Its petals were tinted with the shades of dawn. It gave of its fragrance to The Man until his senses were steeped in perfume. And even as it gave of its beauty and sweetness to him, he saw his fingers close over its petals, crushing them beneath their clutch until it lay a lifeless, scentless, colorless pulp within his hand, while out of the pulp rose the face of The Girl stricken with grief. The Man uttered a cry, and lo, he stood beside The-Woman-He-Wanted-To-Marry, watching the cruel curve of her beautiful lips as they smilingly told him that love was "a pretty enough play to be sure, but a game of which one quickly tired." And The Man knew that The Boomerang, which he had slung out from the essence of his injustice to The Girl, had done its final gathering and had come home to his heart like a chicken to roost TOMORROW'S MENU.

Medical Association, puts himself on record as saying, "The use of a 2 per cent solution of nitrate of silver in the eyes of all newly-born Infants, and the annual, systematic examina tion of all school children's eyes would almost obliterate blindness from this country." How can these reforms best be ac complished? There is no doubt that eye defect is a mot serious handicap to a child starting life. Often the child himself does not know why he is falling behind his class. What to the other children are figures and let ters on the blackboard to him appear only as senseless wavering lines ana dots. The teacher, unless more than usually observant, rates him as stupid and the child either oecoraes nervous and irritable from trying to do some thing beyond his power, or arms inio a discouraged, apathetic condition. Compulsory, physical examination has had many opponents, but an ex amination or rather report made by the teacher after Dr. Allporfs sugges tion, could hardly meet with the same objections. To make this easy and practical a visual chart has been pre-r,,i-rt This contains the usual test i.ti.,. for testine vision, one line for children who do not read showing the letter E In different positions, and di rections as to its use for the, benefit of teachers. This plan Is Inexpensive, Involving no cost beyond that of the chart which Is a trifle. It is simple ana wtncoimjiitaieu. no medical education on the part of the examiner is necessary: any intelligent teacher, by following the directions. Is able to make these reports. The suggestion is that at the beginning of each school year tho school board should set aside a day for this purpose. As there are only about forty children In each room, and as it does not take more than Ave or six minutes to examine a child. It will lie seen that the whole class can easily be examined In one day. From this examination the teacher has valuable information as to the normal or undcrnormal sight of the children In her charge. Johnnie Jones la not stupid after all; he needs glasses or a seat near er the blackboard. The change In seat ing can be made by the teacher, but a written report also goes to Johnnie Jones' parents, advising that the boy's sight is faulty and suggesting that they Immediately consult their family physi cian or an eye specialist. This examination by the teacher may bring to light' other defects besides as tigmatism. Inflamed lids or eyes are not uncommon among young school chil dren. Many of these troubles date ( back to birth and could have been prevented by proper care at that time. A few drops of a 2 per cent solution of nitrate of silver, which all doctors or trained nurses can procure, and which.

This wise precaution Is practical ly sure to preserve the sight. We lty great stress In this country on the advantage of our public schools. No child needs to lack education, but many a child is prevented, through physical disabilities, from taking advantage of these opportunities.

It was ninety-nine years ago that she flr3t taw the light in London. the child of Hebrew parents of Spanish descent. From Infancy she was deli cate In health and this was one of the reasons why she devoted so much of her time to her books and her studies. From her childhood she showed unusual Inter est in the history of her own people, both In Hlbllcnl times and through the ages of the Christian era. but in all her subse quent writings she never, for an instant, showed any spirit of resentment or bit terness, nor any partisan spirit what ever. At the age of twelve she produced a drama called "Gustavtis Vasa." which possessed considerable merit and two years later a volume of poems appeared under her name. Shortly after this she suffered from a severe illness, from which she never fully recovered. In "The Spirit of Judaism," which was a work of her mature years, she at tacked the spirit of formalism and tra ditionalism which had crept Into modern Jewish teaching and practice, and urged the purely spiritual and moral side of the teaching of the prophets and the great Jewish teachers.
