Mrs. Jenks is always busy, either in
Chicago or other cities which demand her

scientific whist in Chicago is shown by
the fact that her regular classes for each

higher number. Some of these people are

Keepln9 the BABY Too Warm.

Many young mothers seem to think that
the apartments in which baby spends the
most of his time must be kept very warm I;
the thermometer must indicate figure in
the eighties. Well, the mercury records a
temperature of SO degrees, and some day
the mother wakes up to the fact that baby
has taken cold and exclaims: Il don't see
how he could take cold. l haven't had a
door or window open, not even a crack,
and l have bundled him up in flannels,
and, SEQ there now he is in beautiful,
soft perspiration." And no wonder; no Is
rolled up in blankets and nanncls and
comfortables until he Is the most uncom-
Portable bit of humanity imaginable. To
live through such treatment is nothing
less than miracle, for the poor baby Is
constantly in feverish condition and

Of nearly alright chamber and is liter
ally becoming poisoned through his whole

The Spinster In Society.

1t Is difficult to see who would take her
place should the spinster vanish from tho
land. A gracious lady, tactful beyond the
dreaming of the young girl, to whom the
world is still a place of enchantment, in
which, half unconsciously to herself, she
poses as tho principal figure the spinstor
smooths away embarrassments, does tho
right thing, speaks the right word in tho
eight place and keeps the wheels Of life
running without friction-to her serene,
we'll bred, tranquil, aware of good and
svil, tolerant OF that which is mere crudity
md inexperience, severe only where false
ness and cruelty challenge, soft spoken,
'weet hammered, or possibly brusque and
ipicy, yet none the less charming.
II a woman of wealth, the spinster holds
in her capable hands tho threads of many
charities, advising here, bestowing there,
withholding or endowing rs sho deems

own person rare gifts-musio, painting,
MISUNDERSTANDING In each degree of
excellence which only leisure and taste in
combination can arrive at. Very likely
she prefers to seek out gifted younger peo.
pie, boys and girls who need that some one
should believe in and help them on, and
to these she is n patron saint, Many lines
of work are open to her which marriage
would have closed, since the wife and

sympathies which the spinster may uso in
the service of hor age. Though the one be
more blessedly happy, the other Is not
without rewards and oompensations.

fills equally most important niche. Her
modern education makes her an independ-

FROM STATE AUDITOR HALE.

IsuHtnDuIS, jan ~
Friend Harris You ask for my opinion
ion of the present prohlbitory law of this
State. Without going into lengthy dis
cusson of the matter. | can in few words
answer your question. | believe in the
law. l have no doubt but that 1t Is a law
which can be enforced If the prosecuting
officers will do their whole duty, and the
great body of the people do their duty by
giving to the officers the support of a
strongly expressed public sentiment. do
not mean that ! think the traffic can be
entirely stopped, but II may be so far held
in restraint, that the people shall be salts
fled that II is just the law we need The
officers are the chosen agents or servants
of the people so upon the people rests the
first responsibility. We all know that the
law Is not enforced as 1t ought to be. nut
| that is not necessarily an argument
against the wisdom of the law; it Is rather
an argument against the character of the
people of the State; that law wholesome
| in its restraints. and having in the reach
of its influence a benediction to the home,
a blessing to the Individual, and an honor
to the State, can not be enforced.
| You speak as though there was an I'M
pending crisis along this line; | am glad
| for the public discussion of the matter.
The prohibitory law cannot suffer in the
presentation of the pros and cons, FOR the
underlying principle OF 1t Is just and right,
no matter how much it may be stigma
| tized by the failure to properly enforce It
| in various sections of the State 1t may
be crisis but don't worry. You will not

lature of 1886

Mrs. jerks says that her career and OK
perience as teacher Of whist have proved
conclusively to her the fallacy of two an
ciont accusations against the "new' sex.
They can, according to her, both play
whist and keep silent, and she says that,
while it would be- hard to say which sox
makes the brightest and most interesting
pupils, women arc IL possible more pains
taking and thorough than men. The rule
Of silence she has found necessary to en-
force rigidly, for the reason that If 1t were
relaxed denominations, accusations and
harsh criticisms would be tolerably certain
to result whenever two equally matched
pupils attempted to play partners.
Such things are of frequent occurrence
in outside play, for gallantry cuts but q
