Annual Report Of the Kings Daughters.

For the benefit of all those whose kind
ness and interest in the cause have made
possible the work accomplished by the
Kings Daughters during the past winter
this informal report is made
Several destitute families have been
helped and two little girls made ready for
the Children's Home in Bangor. Packages
of reading matter have been sent into the
lumber camps and to the fishermen at
fremont.
At Christmas, small boxes were sent to
the Temporary Home for Women and Chill
dren at Portland, and to an Indian school
in South Dakota both of which were
gratefully acknowledged.
Beside paying the running expenses of
the society, enough money has been added
to the fund already on deposit to insure
the opening of a free reading room as
soon after the first of next September as
suitable room can be found.
Although the reg ular meetings are adj
Journed until the first Thursday in Octo-
Der. the work of the society continues
through the summer and any one having
any requests to make or any contributions
to offer are cordially invited to communi-
cate with the President Mrs Fred l..
Mason.
1t may not be ont of place in this CON
nection to say that the Kings Daughters
intend to provide entertainment next
Christmas for children in our own city not
connected with Sunday schools, and any
friends who through the summer can pre-
pare articles suitable for gifts. will confer
great favor on the society.

time he reached his majority.
His next move was to 90 to Boston where
he took a course in commercial school. fIe

A Boston correspondent of Maine paper
in giving an account of the girls and boys Of
the Pine Tree state, who are studying at the
Hub, says of Misses Margaret and Mary Cush-
man Of Castine: There are two sisters in Bos-
ton preparing for missionary work and it is so
out Of the common order, and these particular
young women are such fresh, noble types,
feel like writing many columns. Margaret
Cushman is studying music and French at the
New England Conservatory. and Mary is pur-
suing the study of medicine ut the Boston
University. They are the daughters Of Rev.
j. z. Cushman of Castine, Me. Their mother
is the daughter of John Maltby.a noted clergy
man of Bangor, Maine, and she has had entire
charge of their esrly education. 1t has always
been her intention to have her daughters
properly fitted for missionary work, and she
has consecrated them for this noble purpose.
Miss Margaret will continue her vocal and
instrumental music, also languages another
year, and then take a complete course in Kin
dergarten. Miss Mary. who is only 20 years
old and the youngest In her class, had already
taken q normal course in Castine, 10 the State
Normal School and had taught some before
coming to the University. She will graduate
next year, and after 3 year In some hospital
will take postgraduate course in New York
or Philadelphia. She has already witnessed
maay important operations and has finished
the dissecting course. The sisters reside at the
Conservatory. There il only years differ
ence in their ages. Their complete reconcile
alton to the separation from home and friends,
and their self-resnce. determination and
enthusiasm are something wonderful. When

chances of success, Miss Mary said: I'VE do

true friend Of women than the opportunity
| now afforded for the development and free
| exercise of capabilities that have hereto
fore slumbered and the existence of which
| was, perhaps, undreamed Of In this age
| if girl feels the necessity of earning her
! own living she is no longer hampered in
| her selecting by the trammels of custom,
| but can follow her instincts wherever they
lead. II she be quick to see opportunities,
not easily disheartened, can take good
| natured view OF her limited means and, it
bravely determine to be self-supportipg,
| she finds fewer obstacles in her way than
ever before. Every day the means of Sc
curing an education are made easier for
girls, because women are aiding each other.
The Vassar students support five scholar
| ships, and in Massachusetts 5000 has been
raised to help poor girls in university
course. Among the women who have in
terested themselves none are more active
than Miss Grace H. Dodge and Helen
Dawes Brown.
OF truth, vlhen it is remembered how
much progress has been made along the
line Of woman's advance, there seems to
be no reason why any woman should feel
discouraged in her efforts at sef-cuitiva-
ton or maintenance.

October weddings suggest thoughts as to
the future of the newly married. Married
life in the cities too often opens in q board
ing-house. The divine ideal of a wife is
helpmeet for man, and by no possibility
can this ideal be realized in boarding
house. Every woman truly wife will de-
sire to help her husband and to cherish
feeling of independence. These are incom-
patible with boarding. Her life then is
life of idleness; its ennui only relieved
by gossip or worse To read light litera-
married life, and true love is almost sure to
starve on boarding house diet.

Mrs. Helen NJ. Cougar. the Iowa Prohi
bitionist, does not intend that Mr. Nc
kinley's political pathway through Ohio
shall be strewn with roses, but will con-
front his arguments in favor of high pro-
tective tariff with her own advocacy of
low tariff and high wages. Ere the cam
paign closes it is probable that the author
of the noted bill will wish to exchange the
platform for the corner of a housetop,
which experienced Solomon preferred to a
wide house with brawling woman.

The skirt, the corset and the high-heeled
shoes may be radically and hopelessly
wrong" as pronounced by the latest edict
of dress reformers, but the majority of
women will decide that the "trouserette"
is radically and hopelessly hideous and con-
tinue to prefer for themselves the time
honored petticoat, leaving to the opposite
sex the wearing of trousers minus the
'sette"
