The IDEAL NYoman,s Climb.

The ideal woman's club is that in which
Ehe members are knit together by bond
of unity, good feeling, mutual helpfulness,
esprit de corps; where the fact that one is
q member entities her to the respect and
kindly interest of every other member;
where each one feels and shows conSidera-
ton for the mistakes, respect for the rights
and charity for the errors of every other
one; where courage and frankness are COM
bined with affection and aspiration with
humility; where the truth is spoken, but
spoken in love; where criticism is fearless
but kindly; where differences of opinion
are openly expressed without i'll feeling en-
suing; where gossip, outside cavil and tale
bearing are unknown.
The ideal oman's club is that which is
governed in re spirit of equality and JUS
tiee, where each member is on a plane
with every other and each is given an
equal opportunity to express the talent
that is in her
The ideal woman's club is that in which
every one feels it to be her duty to speak
and work whenever and wherever she is
needed; where every one seeks her own in
dividuahty in the personality of the club,
thinking and acting for the club and as
representative of the club rather than as
the individual Miss A. or Mrs b.
The ideal woman's club is that in which
women have an opportunity to learn: where
the transaction of the business is an educa-
tion for all, where office is trust; whers
membership means not, What can | get?"
but, What can / giveg'-Harriette Z.

Proner Reading for the Young.

Too much cannot be said upon the sub
ject of choosing proper reading for the
young. The main point is not to let the
children choose for themselves. The schools
and public libraries are not the only places
where books may be procured; hence the
responsibility falls chiefly on the parents
80 see to it that their children read nothing
corrupt. A wise guidance in this matter
often secures better results than do strict
commands. Forbid child to read GER
tain book and his curiosity is at once
aroused. He desires to know what it is
that is considered hUrtful for him to read.
We have all heard Of the boy who, not
withstanding the fact that his father had
seen the folly of a certain deed, rejected
the paternal advice on the ground that he
wanted to ''see the folly of it too" Wea ara
all like that boy; we would learn from that
dear school, experience, whose lessons,
though harsh, d never forgotten.
1t is marvellous how young boys, and
even young girls, take uch reading as
the detective series-for pie, "a Life
for a Life" Such books al harmful in
the extreme. They excite the fancy dis
tort the imagination and corrupt good
morals There is no mental culture, no
chance OF obtaining knowledge from Chem.
1t is worse than a waste of time to read
such trash. Better sit with folded hands
and think. Children may be led into a
taste for reading of higher order. Lay q
book which you want them to read where
they will see it, or draw their attention to
it by reciting something interesting from
its pages. Inspire in them feeling of dis
gust for the dime novel sort by word
rightly spoken at the right time.-Mrs,
Ella Martin in Springfield Homestead.

WHITE MARIE

Oh. White Marie from the mountain high
Came down when the world went Maying;
From the snow of the peaks that shine Away,
To the snow of the fields that towering lay.
Where Shy Suzette and Saucy Dinette
and Baby Babette-were playing.
Stole White Marie from the mountain high
Like wandering wind-fower straying;
And oh, the surprise in her soft, dark eyes
At the poisoning ball of wonderful size
With which Shy Suzette and Saucy Dinette
and Baby Babette-were playingi
Shy Suzette would not go nigh,
And narghty Dinette drew her face awry,
And frightened Marie turned swift to fly
Back to her goats, the footpath by,
When
Baby Babette in the grasses high
A marguerite out-swaying-
Reached her hands with laugh of delight,
And scattered shower of sunflakes white,
With mods and smiles and baby wiles,
And baby words soft saying.
Then!
Dinette threw her ball and cried ''Icir'
And Suzette looked sorry and said 30 ouip'
And Marie murmured a sweet "Merci!'
And then-and then
Dear Baby Babette and Shy Suzette and Saucy
Dinette,
With White Marie from the mountain high.
In the snow of the fields were playinCi

How Women ShnnId Walk

Few women know how to walk and fewer
rtill know how to breathe The chest does
not hold your full breathing apparatus, mr.
dear. The muscles that help I'LL the lungs
lie in the abdomen. Breathe from there;
fill your lungs full, using those poor, neg
lected muscles which tight lacing and ig-
norance have made almost useless to you.
Draw IN breath as you would smell rose

your head, expand your chest, hold your
self evenly poised without mincing or loll-
ing or bending forward or backward. and
walk away as nature meant you should,
with the graceful stride and lissom aban-
don of young animal.
Throw away your French heels, cast off
deIornlng corsets and be natural Walk

Character in Conversation.

The other day met a young lady who is
educated. well informed as to the ways Of
the world, satisfied with herself and net
popular with others of her sex. As she is a
pleasing conversationalist and proper in her
observance of the conventionalities of life,
l wondered why other women were not, as
a rule, friendly TO her. By happy coin
cidence with my query. l heard her talking
of various men acquaintance, speaking OF
them as Tom, Mack, Phil and so on, just
as a man might speak of a very intimate
friend of his, provided that friend were a
man. She was talking TO lady of these
men and the face of that lady, SIS her com
panion jabbered away, was complete an
swer TO my inquiry.-Detroit Free Press.
