THE GREATEST OF THESE
IS CHARITY.
Can the world not feel another’s
woe,
Or feel the cause which makes
one grieve,
Strange some of joy’s fullness re
ceive,
And life its thorns to others,
shows.
Ah, there is a deal in charity,
The world has not yet sought to
find;
But yet It cannot be it’s blind
To joys, or woes capacity.
The world should learn to feel
[|f the throb
Of every heart that. beats for
home.
The world should learn hearts
•re not atone,
But are a vessel of the Lord’s!
Yet so strange it often seems,
When we should help another’s
woe,
To pluck the roses as they grow,
But leave them thorns whereon
to lean.
—W. E. Avery.

WITH WOMEN
OF TODAY
The mannequin timekeeper is a
unique profession in which women
are employed at the big dress
shows in Paris and London. She
sits at a big blackboard behind
the scenes and her job is to mark
down the names of the manne
quins, the frocks they wear and
the number of minutes they are
on the floor. As a sort of stage
manager, it is up to her to see
that the show is kept running ac
cording to schedule.

v..........
A Small Economy.
Gas can be saved if we will only
remember to turn off the oven
burners about 10 minutes before
the roast is done. There will be
enough heat to finish the roast
ing, and that much fuel will be
saved.
Will Last Longer.
Little girls’ bloomers will last
longer if cut alike, front and back,
and a small tuck run across the
upper front over the seam. When
the seat begins to wear, rip out
the front tuck and put one in the
back.
Doing Up Embroideries.
All dotted or embroidered
dresses should be ironed on the
tion among the people of that
state these days.
Eight blind women, actively and
successfully engaged in a busi
ness in New York City, were
guests of honor at a recent re
ception given by the New York
League of Business and Profes
sional women.

it is apt to scorch on the uneven;

Unfit Water.
When the water in the cistern
seems impure, dissolve one pound
of alum in one quart of water and
pour this into the cistern, stirring
thoroughly with a long pole. Re
peat the process in 12 hours, and
then allow 12 hours more to settle.
The water will then be clear andi
fit to use.
