Women do not talk toe much, but they tell the wrong things. It is as desirable for a woman to talk a lot as it is for a bird, to sing a lot. How dreary would be the at- mosphere of the home if the mistress sulked around and had never a word to even throw at the cat. Wo. Better a human phonograph; better a wo- man who chatters as meaningless as a canary; better even • a nagger than the woman who does not talk at all. * 4, * it is not the quantity of women's talk to whieh objection can be 'made, but it is the quality. They choose the wrong topics and become indiscreet- ly loquacious about • things they should not discuss. By this I do not particularly refer to what is known as gossip, for gossipers do far more good• than harm, They are the secret service' agents for law and order, with an eye behind every curtain and an ear at every keyhole. Fear of what the neighbors will say does more to keep men and women. walk- ing the straight and narrow than does anything else. Besides if we do things that get us talked about we have no just reason to complain because peo- ple de it. * * But the woman I should like to see' .sappressed is the one who babbles. her family secrets -and .te118. things abdut her domestic affairs that would never become knoWn if she did not, hereelftell them to the world. 1 have known Wives to ruin their husb,and's credit. by telling that his business was bad, I have known .-Women to smirch her own daughter's nepUtatibn by tell- ing how late She stayed out and how unmanagOable she was. Why do Wo- men •tell these things that bring shame. and 'disaster on those. they love, and that nobody would know if ihey 'kept silent? Haven knows. Perhaps it is just because they are poor, weal and leaky vessels that Can- not hold anything without spillina. it. * Their excuse is that they •"only" told, it to Mother, or an' intimate friend and did it in strict confidence. And they never seem to realize what traitors they are to their OWn house- hold when they reveal, its secrets to others, or that when they ex.peet others to keep their secrets they are giving 'strangers credit for more loy- alty and discretion than they possess themselves. Many wives who wonder why their husbands never tell them anything ,can find answer in the fact that their husbands • cannot trust them not to run around to mother or some intimate friend. • "NEIGHBORING" IS A LOST ART Neighboring is now a lost art. Time was when dropping in informally, on those who lived close by was an im- portant part of the social life of the neighborhood, • People—neighbors —just "dropped in,". talked a while, ate an apple or something and went home and to bed, early,. There were no visits and no advance . preparations ; neighboring • just happened as a matter of course. Morning and afternoon women got together, did some sewing and gos- sipping and between times they car- ried choice foods across the yards and borrowed from one another. Every neighborhood had some fine woman whowas pre-eminently "good ir sickness!' At the first symptoms of illness, she was on hand with sim- ple remedies. If the case was serious she was the doctor's first aid and the constant nurse, serving night and, day without recompenses other than the knowledge that she had done her duty as a neighbor in the time of sickness. Neighboring lied its obligations'and compensations. It built -end-tiring friendships, It. grew out of the good- ness of heart of pioneer men and wo- men who had a sincere desire to be • helpful and, knowing, too, that from tune to time theywould need help • and that it would eome cheerfully and freely from those good neighbors .ciose at hand. A more complex civilization has killed the gentle art of neighboring,. Now we*aro not so Milch dependant upon people as upon things: The tel- ephone makes burrowing unteces- sary; bakeries and confectionaries supply our foods, Movies anxl, radios are our time -killers. Antos transport us from one amusement to another. Hospitals' care for the sick, and train- ed nurses aid the stork. if we want company we send out invitations. Only the closest friends drop in informally and then only af- ter 411 appointment by telephone. We Ilztv a few friends,o large number of aetjuaintances--bijt. no neighbors. SCANTY DRESS IS CAUSE OF T.B. Scan tuics in iiii)(10rn -woman's dress is partly respoesible for the tu- berculosis problem, according to Dr. H. E., Deerholt, who reportexi, recent- ly ihat for the first time in the his- tory of the Wisconsin Tuberculosis Association, all of that state's twenty sanitariums are filled with patients, with long waiting lists at many of them. Girls between 15 and 25 striving for a boyish figure and wearing scanty clothing., have lowered their resist- ance to a pointwhere they are an easy prey to the 'disease. "I believe we can cut down tuber- culosis among y01 -flag women if we Plash dress reform," states Dr. Dear - holt. "There is a point in the race for scanty clothing at which a girl must stop lest the body be chilled too much and weakened." STYLE WHIMSIES Plaids, in vivid tartan colorings and designs, in gorgeous velvets, metals and woollens, are an interesting fab- ric development now. Skirts are shown an inch longer in nuinerous fashion showings. A simulated tuck -in blouse in one- piece frocks and actual tuck -in blous- es worn with suits is an interesting note in recent style shows. Designers are featuring leather coats with fur 'rand tweed trims. WOMEN CHOOSE CAREERS Women are continuing to invade fields fonterly restricted to men7by custom or regulation by the results tof ,exantinations recently published, in London. Licenses in dental' surgery were conferred upon two women 'in the quarterly examination held by the council. of the Royal College of Dental Surgeon's. Three women were among the 264 candidates whp were successful in passing the final -exam- inations of the institute of Chartered Accountants last May. • JUMBLES Why not make the cookies of your childhood's dream.?

Jackson, president of the American IVIedical Assocaition, said, recently that a woman who wouldn't improve her appearance with cosmet- its ought to be spanked. Elaborating this novel pont of view the doctor said: "When a WO - man goes in foil cosmetics and beauty culture her health in?.proves. Take the daring new sturfrner fashions. They .stimulate the circulation. Did you know it? "A grandmother, g-ot up in the lat- est and most daring thing, stopped at her doctor's table.in a restaurant one day and laughed and said: `Doctor, I adore these new fashions. ,:rhey inalte me feel so girlish.

Dr, Bailey, Dean of the Chapel and Rev. Canon Dr, Fellowes were much impressed by the singing of Robert Charles Palmer, an 11 -year-old Edmonton boy trained by V. F. Delapoer, organist and choirmaster of Holy Trinity Church, Edmonton South. Later in the year his parents, Colonel and Mrs. R. H. Palmer were notified that their son had been appoint- ed a probationer in the choir of the King's chapel of St. George. After a period of 12 months he will be taken into full membership as King's Chorister. Master Palmer who thui becomes part of an aggregation which charmed Cana - diens hearers right across Canada, sailed on Canadian Pacific steamer Minnedosa for England in August to take up his new duties. The case is unique in the history of the choir which has drawn its mem- bers for the past six hundred years ex- clusively from boys resident in Greati Britain, and whose first trip outside the British Isles in six centuries of existence was the one undertaken to Canada this year. same period of 5926, (of which $3,- 067,600.69 was for, compensation and $640,748.65 for meclieal aid). Speaking of these figures, R. P.

These cases all in- volved a loss of seven days time or more and Mr. 'Morley points out that the total payrool of the classes in- cluded in the Industrial Accid,ent Pre- vention Association is in excess of two-thirds of the total payroll man,a.mus*senectrormmournaunalusexmasi Schedule 1.
