as tue Magees secured the services OF

lection to this at first. but Inc captain OF
the Moxies fiuaIly agreed to the substi-
tuition and the game commenced. The
Magees looked rather forlorn at the n
OF the first inning, as the Moxies had
pounded their pitcher for IL runs. while
1t was with the greatest difficulty they had
secured !. 1t was not till the end of the
seventh inning that the Magees seemed
TO regain hope. At this stage OF the game
tha score stood 26 TO Is in favor Of the
| Moxies. The Magees were then allowed
to score eleven rups In order to reanimate
them, but the Moxtes found they mad let
them go far enough and Hartford re-
turned to the box. Again the Magses'
hopes quickly subsidized. for they knew
that his return meant they were mot in

the only man who succeeded IN hitting
the ball, but this Was OF no avail. He
knocked a pretty grounder which Hart

in an equally graceful manner and
triumphantly deposited 1t in his pocket.

Miss Hill COMPLAINS.

The mischief resulting from what may
be called vicarious benefcence or the dis
tribution of aims at other peoples ex-
pense is complained of by Miss Octavis
Hill, known as well in charitable circles
in this country as in England. The Loi-
don county council has before it schemes
for buildings for the working classes,
and Miss Hill points out that the advo-
Gates of such measures must consider
that the bulk of the working people Of
London either can or cannot be accom-
modated in such buildings If only par
tial accommodation is to be provided,
she maintains, the erection of such build
ings, or even the possibility of their erec-
ton, will greatly paralyze individual ef-
fort. Much has been done by societies
and individuals during the last 80 years
to provide good houses for working peo-
pie on a self supporting basis. They are
readyto extend the work, but not If they
must compete with buildings subsidized
by state aid. This is no imaginary dan.
ger, for Miss Hill declares that she knows
this result to have already followed in
specified instances.-New York Post.

The utonu,nens of a Famous Teacher.

The memory of Miss Lucy M. Green
is fresh in the minds Of all who had the
good fortune to be her pupils. Born at
Worcester in 1910, she came to this city
in 1881, and few years later succeeded
to the principalship of the school for
girls founded by Mrs. Esther Smith
For 80 years thereafter "Miss Green's
school" was perhaps the most famous
private educational institution in this
country. 1t numbers among it's gradu-
ates women known in literature, art,
science and society.
Retiring from the school in 1859, Miss
Green spent the remainder of her life in
quiet benefcence and died on May last
at Worcester. Some years ago the L.
M. Green association was formed among
her old pupils to maintain in her honor
summer home for self supporting
women. That home is to be her monu-
ment, and those who directly or indirect
ly are indebted to Miss Green's school
can show their appreciation Of her work
in no better way than by contributing
to the continued support Of that home

Tho woman and the Rose.

A traveller stopped at little cabin in
the Georgia woods. He wore a white
rose on his coat-one that little girl
had plucked and pinned there as he was
leaving home.
A woman entered the cabin. She stood
and gazed at the rose a moment. Then,
darting forward, she tore it from the
strangers coat and stamped it on the
rude floor.
"Why did you do that2" asked the
stranger leaping to his feet.
''Hushr' said man who was sitting
near. THAT'S my wife, an-an-she
amt right here"-tapping his forehead.
1--WE had a little girl once, with blue
eyes an hair like O sunset. She wan
dered off among the roses one day--lost,
losti-an when we found her she was
where the roses grow, an they was creep
in over her. An the wife there went
mad, an now she says the roses stole the
child an hid her away from us forever.

just like she did the rose there on the

A Glover Hairdresser.

There is in Washington professional
hairdresser who makes comfortable iv-
ing while congress is in session. It is an
easy matter to get the nanys of the poll
tician from Miami, Ind, or Waterloo.
la. A note is sent to his wife asking per-
mission to show her a more becoming
way of arranging her hair. Some COM
prehensive hint is volunteered with a
mild compliment. The letter is marked
personal, a verbal answer is requested,
and in eight out of ten attempts the New
York hairdresser gets an answer to call.
Oddly enough. it is the husband who
urges her claim. He wants his wife to
look like other women. At home she was
all right, but in cosmopolitan life she is
something of fright, and although he
despises himself for the thought he is
ashamed of her. In an hours time the
hairdresser puts new face on the wom-
an from the woods.
She may not use an inch of false hair.
but she wields a crimping iron in way
that takes years Of farm life from her
appearance. The troubled, shy face is
not made ridiculous. Instead of curls
the iron gray hair is cleaned, brushed
until it is fluffy, crimped enough to rip
pie and look three times its own quanti-
ty, and then it is dressed. Instead of the
long iron wire hairpins little shell pins
are used, and the coils are SO lightly
caught that the wondering Hoosier wife
reckons it will not be long before they
all drop out. Women who refuse to have
their hair cut into a bang are provided
with false front, but in every instance
the Transformation is admirable. The
bill is sent to the congressman, and it is
cheerfully paid.-San Francisco Argo-

Women Condemn the Dancing.

A report on the Midway plaisance was

committee had made no report and had
taken no action.
z But the women needed no report to set
them talking. Isabella Beecher Hooker
was the first to speak. She reviewed
briefly the character Of the famous street
and said in conclusion:
'Ithink we had better invite that quar-
ter, not In bulk, as has been suggested,
but very much in detail"

the women, jumping to her feet as Mrs.

She made the reasons for her action

She said:
For 10 years my name was on a
church roll, but long before that time
had expired decided that my Christian
life was dismal failure and a most un-
happy Hypocrisy. The reason was that
my religion was confined to certain
times and places, while at other times

things upon which could not ask Gods

poor creatures who are generally Stunned

enjoy the luxuriee of life while they were
starving, and that if 1t was possible for
her to save some drunken man or some
fallen woman she had no business to
shirk the duty, however disagreeable or
irksome.
So she gave up everything, and, unlike

Amateur Dressmaking Fad In London.
The amount of amateur dressmaking
going on at present is astonishing, and
the fun there is over it and interest taken
in it are most encouraging to beginners.
Even sedate fathers of families are taken
into the confidence of their girls about
their dressmaking doings, while brothers
find it a fruitful form<of chat. and
though pretending to decry really ad-
.aire the skill of their own and other fel-
lows sisters. Girls who have no other
occupation in life find that dressmaking
is great interest to them and an i'm
mense saving in their dress allowance.
They spend few hours with their scien-
tifc dresscutting charts, the best and the
most original of these being SO far sim
plified now as to be within easy compre-
hension of the most ordinary intelligence,
and straightway they fashion the bar
gain of a pound or so into an up to date,
smart and charming costume of which
they feel justly proud.
A dress which was bought at sale
for 80 shillings, inclusive of all necessa-
ries for its build, is to be worn next
week. 1t is of fancy cloth, the, color
willow leaf green. The skirt has deep,
frayed out ryche of shaded green silk
around the hem. The bodice is a folded
one of cream colored twill silk with lace
insertion, and over it is a short bolero
coat of green and cream brocade, out
lined all round with small cream colored
and green gimp ornaments. There is
sash of cream colored satin, which is tied
at one side. 1t is to all intents and pur-
poses an 8 or 8 guinea gown and would
easily pass for such if the wearer were
not too proud of her share in its produc-
ton to allow it to do so.-London Tele-
