class room for the henelit of all the
girls. 4 .
Instruction as to how to dress Is also
part of the course. A recent lesson on
color in general was followed hy a dis
cussion of the effect of subdued and in
tense colors, and the girls were finally j
taught the artistic value of dressing In
subdued colors, with only a touch of

over sullenly, saying Jiothlug.
She went down to the bottom of a
pile and disarranged the aprons on top

ed up and tried on. After looking at
almost every apron on the counter she
went away saying, that she did not see
a thing that she wanted.
All the while the clerk smilingly
and In pleasant manner, tried to make
a sale. The other members of the
class took notes to use in the discuss
ion which followed. The spirit of crit
icism was friendly. The atmosphere
of the class was play rather than a
school. The customer was- criticised
for putting her umbrella on the coun

clerk was equally criticised for not re
