brought together to discuss things to them
cf greater moment. The proper Lenten gown
is plain tailor made-well, perhaps not
exactly plain; little trimming of dark fur
down the lapels will not break the spirit of
the law. And its material is appropriately
dark-well, perhaps not quite all dark; lit

do no harm; and, of course, one really must

A WOMAN WHO WOULDN'T,

pretty peasant maiden in one of the sub

creed by her relatives into consenting to
marry small proprietor of the neighbor-
hood for whom she entertained a special
dislike. The wedding party appeared, a few
days ago, before the altar of one of the city
churches. The service went on until the
officiating priest put the usual question
''Wilt thou take this man." etc.
The girl to this replied with an emphatic
negative, and all the persuasons of her
friends failed to change her resolution.
The wedding party returned to the house of
the brides parents, who again vainly en-
deavored to shake the girls obduracy. The
unfortunate and unwilling girl was then
soundly beaten, not only by her parents,
but also by the friends of the bridegroom.
She was carried back weeping to church
by the welding party, and the marriage
service was recommended. Again came the
crucial question to the bride and once more
the unhappy girl, with tears and bushes,
resonartiy exclaimed, No; a, thousand
times nor and appealed to the protection
OF the priest, which was readily granted.

How the Plan Was Carried Out.
"Our expense for dishes was about SD
per hundred pupils. This bought a good
quality of cups and saucers, while lot of
the heaviest grade and good quality of
plated spoons. We purchased dishes
CROUCH to supply the average number Of
patrons; a few can be washed second
time. Our outfit of large dishpans, pals,
towels brooms, etc, cost about $3.50 per
school. Utensils for conveying the food
were supplied by the kitchen, which also
provided fer the delivery of the food in the
lunch room
'Organizing the service was difficult
problem. We finally settled upon one head
worker, responsible for the success of the
plan, who kept the records and ordered the
supply; one cleaner and dishwasher, and
one or more assistants to aid in the prepa-
ration and serving of the food In some
schools one Of the older pupils, select ed by
the headrlaSte', sells the tickets, and some
times serves fifteen minutes in payment
for his Luncheon.
During the hour previous to recess
everything, with the exception of the cocoa
and soup, is arranged on tables ready for
serving, and the hot liquid is poured into
cups either just before or just as the cfil-
dren come down. There is merely an ex-
change Of ticket for a cup or plate, ard
all is over in ten fifteen minutes.
"To serve 1,1W children requires cI3
quarts OF soup, seventy-tWo quarts of
mix, severity pouEd-,oaveS of bread, three
ard oce-half pounds of butter eleven doz-
en- buns, or twenty-five lozen cookies, or
twenty-five sheets of ginger bread.
Our fve-cent lunches are the most pop
ular, many children being allowed no more
than five cents to spend. For this we sell

and two cookies, having n food valve of 800

when debility and nervousness must be

1t is not that rheumatism, ralgia,

This most remarkable of all known
remedies has won the sincere approval
of the most progressive part of the com
munity, Here is testimonial recently
received from the wife of U. S. Senator
E. f. Warren of Wyoming, whose dis
tinguished services for the country's

every one needing it..
1t is a fact verified by the practice of
the best physicians, and by thousands
of personal testimonials, that Paine's
celery compound makes new and pure

and cures disease where all other rene

It's absolute reliability is shown by
its steady employment by trained ply

unquestioned power of making people
