18 GUINEAS FOR SCHOOLGIRL'S FROCK

The cost of dressing daughter's is a source of much anxiety to mothers at the present time, writes a corespondent in The Times. After the girls have reached the age of 16, their frocks are almost as expensive me thome of the daughters who are really "' out," and the “trouseau of the young girl going to her finishing school" this autason is a truly formidable item in fa}- lie, where there are several girls approach ing

Aniebing" age. Even the younger girls and those who ore gent to the high schools and public schools have become barassing charges on their parents' income, and the suggestion that girls cost less to educate than boys is proved to be a fallacy at the beginning of every term.

The popular girls schools are in the pleasant position of refusing many appli- cations from parents owing to Isak of Capace Consequently they can chargo has they like, pict and choose their Schols, mad. to keep up the "tone of their artish: fishment, can make demands for outats which it would take, one would think: several years to wear out. They can also make charges for "extra" and subscrip tish to Ichool funds, which press "very heavily on the pockets of parents with non- “e’natie, incomes.

The rush on boarding schools of every Hind is partly due to the housing difficulty and the fact that many people are forced to

live in hotels, where it is not desirable this SOLE BY- young girls of school age should spend their out-of-school hours. This pressure on hoard- ing schools, and the consequent higher charges, are indirectly responsible, on the other hand, for girls whose parents, while not suffering from the housing shortage, are offering from depleted incomes, being sent today schools hitherto only attended by girls of a lower social status.

The rising cost of girl's dresses and general outfitting can be judged from the importance given to it in the big houses. There are, at the beginning of every season,

ecial mannequins for showing the young girl's frocks, and the coat of these is in many cases as high as that of their mothers. Eighteen guineas is not an ame azal price for an afternoon frock for sweet sixteca and seventeen, and it is a very plain school coos that can be got for 10 or 12 guineas; 20 and even 30 have to be paid to were anything that will com pete with the better dread girls in the good private schools. In public schools there is a certain uniformity, if not always uniform, but the Bunday tailor made" is now a heavy item, and footwear when four guinons has to be paid for smart, service Able boots and two and a half for good walking shoes is one of the most costly accessories Hats for the young girl are perhaps now at their very highest prices. Four or five guiness is an ordinary prio for a good. velours, and even for children. of three and four years of age anything from 356. to three guiness is charged for beadgear.

OLD AGE.

DO PEOPLE EVER LIVE MORE THAN 10 YEARS 1

3fen reported to be well over the hundrod mark are likely to receive inore credence from the general public, it appears. than from scientists accustomed to base their de dactions about human longevity on hard and cold facta. In two recent cases one of a man reported to be 135 and another of a mam reported to have died in his 117th year, Investigations seem to have shown that the ages were exaggerated. In the last so that of Mr. Thomas Morris, an investigation was made by Arthur Hunter, chief actuary of the New York Life Insur ance Company. He writes

As I have seen so many unreliable state ments regarding persons living to 115 and older, und be. I bave never known" an authentic cass; including Parr, of a person living beyond 106, I thought it worth, while to trace the case of Thomae Morris through the Bureau of the Census The Director of the Census informs me that Thomas Morris gave his date of birth in 1900 as 1825 and his ago as 75; yet ten years Inter he gave, his age as 116, or an increase of 41 year during the short space often calendar years! One is also pazzled by the fact that be claimed to be 118 in 1810, and yet in 1920, he claimed to be in his 117th year. It is highly probable that Thomas Morris garo his real age in 1900, and that he actually died in his 95th year-not in hia 117th year,

" With regard to the famous case of Thomas Parry who died in 1835, and was said to have boer 152 years of age, there is no evidence, whatever except his own unsupported assertions. It is frequently said that Harvey the discoverer of the circalation of the blood, testified to Parr's age; hut Harvey merely-stated that Parr appeared to be an aged individual and that hir viscera were in vigorous condition. It

likely that Parr was in the neighbour hood of one hundred years of age, ma

Actuaries are naturally scentical regard ing claims of such persons as Parr, and Morris because the records of 110 years hare not shown a single invared for anani tant who lived beyond 106. The difference between these persons and those who claim to hayo lived beyond that age is simply that the ages of the insured and the an nnitants, especially the latter, are reason ably correct at the time the contracts am issued, whereas, the others are basing their statements on memory; which must be weak when the centary mark is approached."
