LUCY GLENN N engineer who is inarticulate, said a well- known New York engineer in speaking of the value to members of his profession of a thorough knowledge of English, is quite as use- less as one who is professionally incompetent. The mechanic, the business man, and the artist are not hermits shut off from all intercourse with others. They must be able to communicate both in speaking and in writing with the outside world. For this reason, it is necessary that students learn to express themselves coherently and forcefully while they are in school. If the student learns to be at ease on his feet in speaking to his classmates, he will later be at ease in speaking to business men. If he learns to write clearly and correctly in class, he will later use this ability in writing a fine type of business letter. However, a study of English is not going far enough if it merely teaches a student the sin of ain't and this here. Beyond this, one should learn to love some books as a friend, to come to them for joy, laughter, peace, and a catch in the throat.

No matter what wealth or luxury may surround her earlier years, the woman may be forced sometime or other to fall back upon her own resources. The well-dressed woman and good taste in clothes cannot exist without each other. Good taste is not an inheritance. The ability to dress well is not a birthright, but a study of color scheme, style of figure, materials, and the style of the day. Choose good and beautiful materials. Costly and many, if you are rich enough to afford several frocks and have suitable opportun- ities for wearing them, few, but excellent of their kind, should your dress money be limited, is a great motto. Then have them made up simply, always bearing in mind the requirements of the occasions they are to adorn and your own individual needs. dll-n.-Q-, I W MARIE M- JOHNSON Head of Department of Dressmaking TT' '- - '?1'..'Z fr.7fEQ'3i1 L 'ummm'-me Page Forty-eight
