The Mansion House party la Londonalways bring out a tremendous display ofthe possibilities In fancy dresa for children,and lta seems rather a pity that New Torkhas no corresponding function, no one oc-casion upon which we may enjoy thecharming spectacle of bundreda of littlefolk In quaint and carefully planned cos-tumes whose Inspiration has been found Invery land and every period. But If wehare no gTeat fancy dress party for chil-dren, at least the holiday season Is full ofmall affairs of this kind, and mothers,

seamstresses and costumers are called uponto exercise much Ingenuity In the rnetter.Of couree, there are costumes that maybe hired, chiefly of the commoner and more

If the mother has taste, delightful effectsmay be achieved at comparatively littleexpense, but considerable understandingand Ingenuity must be brought to bearupon the problem If genuine success Is toresult. In the first place, the possibilitiesof the child must be considered, and righthere the fatal error often occurs.

Chicago Teachers' federation, gives somstartling reasons why school teachers gen-erally do not regard marriage aa a de-sirable vocation. Miss Goggln is unmar-ried and ia proud of It. Her opinion of th"lord of creation" Is tart and yellow-s- he

regards him aa a "lemon." FromInquiry and investigation sha deduces thefacts and conclusions:

Ninety per cental the school teachers inthe fnited States are women.

Sixty per cent of these are irrevocablydestined to stngls blessedness

Eighty per cent of th teachers led tethe altar are forced to work for their living after marriage.

Ten per cent of the wedded ones becomedivorcees.

Of the remaining 10 per cent only oneteacher In ten finds any bliss In marriedlife.

The fairy tale, too, are full of sugge-stion for children's costumes, and thechildren of many lands are always wellrepresented at a fancy dresa party. Theseforeign costumes may In some cases be aselaborate as one like.

We have seen this last week a mostexquisite Chinese costume prepared for asmall girl to wear on New Tear's eve, and.thanks to the globe-trotti- parents, thelittle lady will go clad In most resplend-ent fashion, all rich silks and gorgeousembroideries and gold. But her littlecousin, who Is to be a girl from Hollandto wooden shoes and soft petticoats andmuslin blouse and funny little cap, willbe quite as attractive la her own way,though CO would cover the whole cost ofher outfit.

The Dutch costume Is a good and In-expensive one for a boy. too, and Italian,Spanish, German and Russian peasantsoffer good models demanding little ex-pense, while the Montenegrin, Servian andHungarian costumes seem expressly de-signed for first aid to comic opera andfancy dress ball costumes.

We were told that at this same NewTear's eve party of which we havespoken a small boy and a girl whose pa-rents are able to gratify any whims areto be dressed m exact duplicates of"Merry Widow" costumes worn by Dan-tl- o

and Sonia In the famous dance scene;but though these costumes are delight-ful It la only among the parents that theywill be particularly admired. The chil-dren will, as usual, give their votes tothe clown and the Jester and Mephisto-phele- s

and Red Riding Hood and thewitch and the cowboy and the Indiansand the rest of the old familiar figures.

The flowers are sure to be well repre-sented wherever children wear fancydress. They afford opportunities for de-lectable colorings and lovely effects, butthey require skill and much artistic un-derstanding In the designer and maker, forthey are hopeless when bungled or whenworn by children who cannot carry outthe flower Idea.

"Tou don't mean to Infer that tha aver-age school teacher is homely T" Miss Gogglnwas asked.

"Plain," she corrected. "Teachers areusually not pretty snd seldom can be calledbeautiful. The mind of the school teacheris above pomades, curling Irons, rouges andcosmetics. Her fao is no factor in de-termining her fortune. A pedagogue'sbeauty will not change the percentage inher examination. And the school teacherhas no time for specializing in dressmakingand millinery.

"The beautiful girl manias before shehas time to become a school teacher. Andit Is a weH known rule that brains andbeauty seldom go hand In hand. And an-other thing, th school teacher is no adeptat housewifery. '

"The average hired girl has a far betterchance to make a horn happy than hasthe woman teacher.

Itsays that "organised drinking clubs" areproducing serious results, physically andmorally, among girls and women. Thclubs are formed for the purpose of sur-reptitiously getting drink Into factories tobe consumed In tea and other ways, ofcelebrating birthdays, marriages, and othersocial events, and of enabling girls habitu-ally to drink together in public bouses andother places, after leaving work and onpublic holidays, especially at Christ-mas

"These drinking clubs exist la nearlyevery case without th knowledge of theemployers, but in some factories they areundoubtedly carried on with th consent ofth foremen or forewomen."

Canon Denton Thompson made somestrong remarks upon this deplorable stateof affairs. He said girls and women were"invited, encouraged, and even coercedto Join drinking clubs, and to pay aweekly subscription of a penny or throe-pen- ce

or even morev or to contribute to ageneral collection made by one in au-thority. In one case that had come to hisknowledge alcohol had been used in themanufacture of coffee which was handedround the works.

Weairi aw 4 ladwatry.Th president of Bryn Mawr, speaking on

a toplo of unusual import, expressed thfollowing opinion:

"We are now living In the midst of great,and, I believe, on the whole, beneficentsocial changes which herald th comingeconomic independence of women. Every-thing seems to indicate that women willnot only make their way Into all excepta few of th trades and professions, butthat they will be compelled by economiccauses beyond their control to stay in themafter marriage. Already in teaching, nurs-ing, library work, typewriting, bookkeep-ing, telephoning, telegraphing, they aresteadily taking possession and driving menbefore them."

Recent observations on this great topicare as follows:

"The higher education ought to fit womenfor the single occupation of bearing andeducating children, and it is th most In-tellectual occupation that there Is in theworld." President Charles W. Eliot ofHarvard university.

"Th purpoe of higher education of wo-men is to give the power of Judging men.A college graduate ahould be able to Judgehuman nature." Prof. William James ofHarvard university.

Where Ctrl Leara Trades.Miss Florence Marshall, the director of

the Boston Trade School for Girls, hasJust Issued the third annual report, whl:hwill be found interesting reading by thosewho have at heart the work of womenforced to support themselves. In thisschool a girl of any race or creed maylearn the elements of a trade, such asdressmaking, millinery, straw hat mak-ing and power machine operating fordifferent kinds of factory-mad- e clothing.Th skilled trades eagerly tak the girlswho have served the apprenticeship ofthe school. Girls from 14 to 17, whomust leave achool to earn a living, mayenter thla school, and evidently, withsuch preparation, girls ar much betterable to begin the work of life.
