With these we give Double Purple Stamps on all purchases made before 12 o’clock noon.

SOCIETY AT NEW YORK.
The humanitarian note was struck
in Newport last week, at the confer
ence of “Great Women,” held at
Marble House, the summer villa of
Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, for the suf
frage cause. In a long notice of the
event in the New York press ol
Sunday is the following
“fcftand.ng on the cement terrace of
Marble House, after the meeting was
over and the 300 guests were troop
ing of; to examne the Chinese tea
house, which is the show feature of
the Belmont estate, the Duchess of
Marlborough commented on tne
change that eeems to have come over
fashionable Newport. "No,” she said
“this is not the Newport that I used
to know- That other Newport was
wholly amusing and everchanging.
Its people were real enough, but
the game of keeping interested was
unreal. Today is so real. These wo
men who have come here to my
mother’s house have Interests which
last always. At the meeting Wednes
day were women from all parts of
the country, and from all branches
of the great reform movements of
the day. Mss Kate Gordon, of New
Orleans, the Jane Addams of the
south daughter of old General Gor

the Era Club of New Orleans, the

from a raised pulpit rostrum, draped

spoke with an authoritative firmness
and the brittle humor which char
acterizes her- The second Bleaker
was the guest of honor, Consuelo,
Duchess of Marlborough, home for
the first time in four years. Mrs
Belmont introduced her with charm

retrousse nose and winning mouth-

MAKE GOOD.
Cut out “if,” “could” and "should,”
And start to saw wood.
You can still have the best
Things in life, like the reßt
Of the men wlio’ve achieved
Just because they’ve believed.
In themselves. You’re deceived
If you think fortune comes
With a rattle of drums
Ar. 4 a fanfare of state
To hand yours on a plate.
That isn’t the way
That she visits today,
You must get out and rustle and bus
tle and hustle;
You need all your muscle. Tor you’ro
got to tussle
Plunge into the fight,
Hit to left and to right
And keep crashing and smashing.
Don’t let up with your striking
Till things meet your liking.
For God’s sake stop howling—
Instead, do some mauling.
It makes the world bitter
To look at a quitter.
Fate scowls when she sees
A grown-up on his knees.
A man with his health
Is a mine jammed w th wealth
Full of unexplored lodes,
Why the freckle-hack toads
Have the sense to keep Jumping—
And here you are frumping!
Come now, strike jour gait—
ft isn’t too late.
There’s no such thing as fate
Drop that fool-talk of "luck,”
Get a grip on your pluck.
And buck,
Begin
To grin
And win.
—By Herbert Kaufman, in Every
body’s.

THE SHAKESPEARE
CELEBRATION.
A world wide celebration In honor
of Shakespeare in proposed for 1916
on the 300th anniversary of the
Poet's death. The comm.ttee recent
ly formed in London, at a meeting
over which Viscount James Bryce
presided, includes the American am
bassador and eminent men of many
nations. Approval of such a celebra
tion was formally expressed by the
diplomatic representatives of not on
ly nearly every European power, but
even of Argentina, Chile, l’ersia and
China.
All this ie but a small part of the
evidence that the appeal of Shakes
peare is worldwide. England’s
greatest glory—spoke "not for an age
but for nil time,” and even for all
races- Not England alone but hu
manity as a whole found a voice in
the bard of Avon.
The nations, and especially Great
Britan, the United States and Ger
many will gladly unite to honor the
memory of Shakespeare. The only
note of dissent w.ll come from those,
| aptly described as “half-educated”
1 ersons, who will contend that the
Immortal dramas were written not by
Shakespeare but by lx>rd Bacon. TTie
Baconians are said to contemplate
u rival celebration, but even their’s
will be a tribute to the towerng
genius who accomplished the great
work that is with us, whatever the
name by which they Choose to call
him.-Exchange.
