". c. T. L. NOTES

Mrs. Clara Holbrook Smith, whose gen
! tie talk at the First Baptist church re
Gently won our cause many friends, will
occupy the pulpit Sabbath evening of the
| First Christian church, her subject being,
Heart Culture and Home influence"
| In view of the coming into our midst
shortly of some two or three hundred W.
| c. T. L. delegates and visitors, it is but
| fitting that an effort be made TO bring our
many sided work to the front, that all may
be prepared TO visit some if not all OF the
sessions of the stat convention.
! The kindergarten is being freshed, ready
| for the opening OF school on Monday
morning. One lovely little blossom peep
| ing in and seeing the freshly papered
wall hummed tune of
of satisfaction, declaring she could
hardly wait one more day" for school to
begin.
If mothers of wee ones and mothers
whose wee ones have gone ont into life's
| cares, if the busy father. and even the
! busy reporter would drop into this bright
garden at some morning session, each
would depart with a memory picture neer
to be forgotten.
1t is now hoped that Mrs. Annie Jen-
ness Miller will give US one of her famous
talks on dress AS indicated by recent
letter we may expect her the first week in
October.
The Daily Graphic, New York. of Au-
gust is, gives cut of the distinguished
lady in one of her aesthetic gowns.
The ladies of the w. c. L. L. were
greatly pleased last Tuesday, on receiving
box OF plants for one of the windows of
our new quarters, from the botanical gar
dens at Washington. and will doubtless
tender unanimous vote of thanks to
Senator p. b. Plumb. through whose kind
ness they were forwarded.
The business men, and also ladies from
the suburbs, coming in to attend TO shop
ping. are finding the luncheon department
a great convenience, and the reading
room pleasant place in which
to rest. And many Others are
dropping in to get some of that
home made cooking, snch as my mother
used to do"
A new book is on the list, to soon be or
dered for the library, called Gentle
Bread Winners" which gives many sug-
gestions to those whose talent lies in the
direction of dainty desserts, and we are
expecting, when Mrs. Emma z. Ewing
comes to US in February, to give her such
famous cooking lessons that there will be
as large class formed as in Cincinnati,
Des Mones, or any of the cities in which
these lessons have been given. Perhaps
some friends will help open training
school for domestic helpers. What boon
that would be to the oft times weary
housekeeper.
Our VS. are a source of great pride to
these staid W. c. L. US, and are getting 10
themselves quite a reputation for the
unique and delightful entertainment they
give. We are not a prophet nor the son Of
prophet, but we have no fear in saying
that ere long it will be quite the mode to
attend these musicales, conversation and
parlor meetings.
1t is expected shortly that meetings will
be held each Sabbath in the new headquar-
tiers, of which notice will be given later.

exponent of the Saulsbury's and the
latter supporting the Gray-Walcott
wing of the democratic party-is get
ting decidedly warm and personal.
In the last issue the DeiawaJeaH
charges Mr.. Walcott with fllching
money from thestate for work that he
was paid for by private parties, and
announces its determination to prove
more serious treason 90. the Bourbon
democracy of Delaware. The charges
and ordinations on each side are
about equally divided, aud the fact,
as a result of this row, is deeply i'm

change. "When rogues fall out, hon

have endowed us, as during the few
days in which we have been cut of
from the outside world The railway
and telegraph have become a part of
the machinery of everyday business,
and it is hard to realize the possibility
of living without them. But the ma

proportions before these adiuncts of
civilization were achieved; and who
can say but that in fifty more years
some similar calamity to that of the
past week may cause the people of

the generation Of 1888 as a slow going
people. The electricians now propose

fused. While the conference was in secret

PHILADELPHIA. Monday, Mar. II, 1888.
There are quiet but power
! full human relations, like those
of parent and child, of which
you never speak, they are SO
simple, so natural. You will
doubles cry absurd" when
we say that into the same rank
fall the relations between this
store and the public. You
walk the street. Do you ever
stop to say, 1T is my right to
walk the street." or, 'For
walking purposes, the street
is nine? Or do you say
thanks" to the air you
breathe. You walk through
the store, do you question
any more as to your rights
here than on the street?
You note in your visits
the touch of the passing
seasons-merchandise has its
year equally with the calender
or the Church-but do you not
take it all as you do the touches
of sun, air, or foliage-your
own to enjoy?
You sit in the waiting rooms,
are you any'less at home than
in your own library?
This freedom is the store
charm. We mean to make it
more charming. Some charms
are spoiled when mentioned. |
Fun is impossible when the wit
is asked to be witty. Happi-
ness; when made conscious of
itself by speech, ceases. Not
so this quiet power that we
call the store.
Isn't fhis strange talk about
a retail store? Perhaps you
never thought about it before.
But it's true.

THERE appears to be a general state
of "hardupness" prevailing among the
newspapers of this peninsula, if the
various local aud editorial notices to
subscribers and patrons may be used
to draw the inference from. This
state Of affair is always deplorable, but
to a country editor it is especially har-
RAISING. From the history of the past
we haYe found such dunning useless,
and calculated to cast reproach upon
the profession. Enforce the law in
few cases, and let it become generally
known that all bills will be collected
when due. This carries respect for
the publisher and his paper. This
paper probably has as much cause for
complaint as any other well conducted
journal Oh the peninsula, but by close
watching, the dead beats are kept
weeded from its subscription list
One thousand paying subscribers is
much more profitable to the paper than
fifteen hundred one-third of whom are
dead heads" or their equivalent, i.
e., those who never notice statements,
duns,or personal solicitation for settle
ment.
