• MoiolY For Women
(By Dorothy Dix)
WOIVIEN WHO BLAB
The charge that woinei tall- •too
much is,as old as. creation, This ,is a
mistake. 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.

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.

.sappressed is the one who babbles.

men •tell these things that bring

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-

Their excuse is that they •"only"

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

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.

Canadian Boy xs
King's Chorister
When the boys of the Icing'e Chapel
of St. George at Windsor and tha
Gentlemen of the Westminster Abbey
Choir toured Canada this year on special
Canadian Pacific train, .'the very Rev.
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
