Travelling Libraries,
 And How Conducted

There is so much interest felt by many progressive club women in travelling Hbra- lies that the following description of the successful management of this factor for universal education in Missouri may be helpful. An exchange says: In response to many inquiries for information regarding travelling libraries, what has been done al- ready and what is the aim and intent of all this effort on the part of the Missouri Federation of Womens clubs, the following facts are given: First of all, it means help for all who need and desire social and dn- telectua advancement. The committee having the work in charge has largely fol- lowed the plans which have proven suc- cessful in other states for reaching dis trcts that are unable to maintain public libraries and thus supplement the collection on the home book shelves. The travelling libraries have been carefully selected with this end in view. Histories are, so far as possible, up to date and reliable, books of travel deal with various countries from an entertaining as well an instructive stand point The fiction chosen is of a high or Her. Scientific works are not too technical or abstruse for the ordinary intelligent reader, and books for the young are quite attractive.
 For the present such library contains forty volumes and is loaned for four months. To guarantee responsible per- son to care for, circulate and return these books, the bureau furnishes simple con- stitution under which branches of the li- brary may be organized and recognized by certificates from the chairman of the bu- reau. The libraries are absolutely free to any in the community, and the only cost 10 the branch is sum required to cover the outlay for transportation. Three sets of books in a year will keep a neighbor- hood we'll supplied with reading. The fed eration clubs have received the plans of

the committee with great interest and many have offered aid in advancing them. It was proposed at the annual meeting of the federation at Sedalia that the president of each club ask her own club to tax itself 25 cents per capita, 20 cents of which to be devoted to the travelling library fund. This has been done in many cases most cheer fully. Nine libraries have been purchased catalogued adn placed in plain substantial cases, neatly marked "M. r. W. C.-Free Travelling Library No.-." Several of these have gone in the care of club women into small towns in Missouri. The educational bureau of the federation Is prepared to add two or three more libraries as soon as they are needed, and many letters of in quiry have been answered enclosing copies of rules and general requirements.
 From workers in other states with longer experience in the field come enthusiastic reports of the good already accomplished. New York, Iowa and Michigan have a great many books going from place to place under the direction of state librarians. Wisconsin has, through individual generosity, several centers for the distribution of books in lumber and farming sections. And there is still great room in many parts of the country for work of this kind calling for the heartiest sympathy and cooperation from friends of education Many small town through these collections has learned the worth of public libraries and has be- come the owner of a brave beginning in this direction, while still accepting the help of the travelling libraries.

How Nails Are Kept
 Pink and Pretty

Many women with pretty hands are con- stantly annoyed by the rough appearance of their finger nails, caused by the fact that they break and split. The possessor of such nails should cut them with we'll sharpened manicure scissors, and the nail should never be cut or filed unless the fingers have first been soaked in warm water. The brittleness may sometimes be lessened by rubbing almond oil thoroughly into the nails and finger ends on retiring at night. A pair of old kid gloves must then be pulled on.
 The housekeeper whose nails break easily should never stir anything on the hot range without first slipping on a loose glove, as the dry heat from the fire will make her nails more brittle than ever.
 A teaspoonful of lemon juice in a cupful of tepid water whitens and supplies the nails and removes all grease and dirt, making them more easy to polish. This should be used every morning, and by soaking the fingers a few moments it is possible to make the nails perfectly clean and transparent without the use of any metal cleaner. by simply rubbing under them with a towel. It is also beneficial in removing the skin around the nail edges. which should never be cut with scissors. Rub the towel firmly all about the nail, pushing back the skin. Do this regularly every day. and after few weeks the skin growth will disappear.

There Are Minerals in Your B'ood. You Think

 You are like quartz mine. There are veins of phosphorus, sulphur, magnesia, calcium, iron in your blood.

cannot trust their feminine fellow beings unless the said beings are years older oi younger or decidedly unattractive. Tht reason you tell your men friends things that you won't tell your women friends is because you have faith in them, and you have this faith in them because they have faith in you. Faith begets faith. Yo1 cant expect women to be true to you un- less you are true to them. If every wo. man had perfect faith in the goodness and sincerity of every other woman of her ac, quaintance, friendship between woman and woman would be far purer and stronger than friendship between man and man oI woman and man. One woman can under stand another, can put herself in her s.s, ters place, can feel not only for her but with her as man could never do; but, alas, and alack! We don't do 1t because we lack faith in one another. Faith helps us td draw to us whatever we actively trust in. Faith, you know, means something besides fidelity; 1t means trust. You become friends with a man, and his inherent faith in you gives you not only faith in him, but faith in yourself, and your friendship fiourishes and grows strong. You meet a woman of your own age and you lack faith in her and she lacks faith in you, and to cover this up you vow and declare that you will always be true to one another. come what may. Faith is one of the most powerful magnets given to human beingss for it attracts to itself wha teVer or who- ever 1t earnestly and consistently desires, If you wish to establish true relationship between yourself and other women, cultf@ vate a spirit of faith in your own sex, and preach and demonstrate that spirit to them. Another thing: Don't have o'erL much faith in man. Lop off a little of the fidelity and trust that you give to ths rib sex and give it to the woman folk$ and things will adjust themselves mor6 fairly and evenly.

FRIENDSHIPS OF WOMEN
One Phase of the Feminine Mind and Its
 Consequences

One Phase of the Feminine Mind and It's
 Consequences
 From the New York Sun.
 Woman's friendship for woman Is one thing, and mans friendship for man alto- gether another. The latter is not so fragile as the former An old man and a young woman can be the truest and best of friends; two old women can be thoroughly sincere and faithful in their friendship, and two young women can be the same until they become interested in the same man. Two men who are friends often become interested in the same woman, but the bond between them may mot be broken thereDy. Let two young women who are friends get interested in the same man, and there's very different story to tell
 "Why is 1t that we never see two young women loyal and true and faithful in their friendship for one another, as we men are?" man often asks.
 It is because there is marked difference in the quality of mans mind and woman's. Since women are creatures of faith 1t would seem more natural for them to be better friends one to another than men; but they aren't. Woman has more faith when it comes to unseen things than man, but man has more faith in the things and people around him than his sisters and his cousins and his aunts, to say nothing of his wife and mother. Faith is the basis of friendship and without it honeyed declara- tions, such as women are wont to make, avail nothing
 An old woman told a young girl some valuable things about this matter of friendship recently. Between the two there exists one of those ideal relation ships which ally youth and age, giving to one the wisdom of many years and to the other the joyousness of few.
 q wonder why it is,' said the girl, that friendship between women of the same age Is so different from friendship between men of the same age, or between men and women. Now, I don't feel at all toward my young women friends as I do toward my men friends. There are a great many things that I would tell the men that wouldn't dream of telling the women. A thing is safe with a woman as long as things are running smoothly between you and her, but as soon as there Is little spat or a spirit of rivalry springs up over clothes or beaux or any old thing over which women vie with one another she for gets all about her pledges of loyalty and uses your confidence against you. Mind you, I'm talking about myself as well as every other woman in every other country of the world. We are all in the same boat. Something seems to have been left out of our composition when it comes to implicitly trusting another woman of the same age and attractions"
 "Ill tell you what it is," answered the old woman. Ut is faith. Women certainly are queer. They can believe in ali sorts of faith in miracles and man. and yet they

The Passing of the Butler;
 The cominQ of the Maid

It is whispered that the pompous and solemn butler Is on the righ road to obli- vion. His doom has been pronounced by certain persons of fashionable pretens1ons and lean purses who find his services drain on both their pride and their pocket books. One clever, independent feminine person whose diminutive establishment, high up in very expensive apartment house, is rendezvous for many or the rich and great, declares that one "has to live up to ones butler, and as he is usually not only judge but a pitiess critic of wines and Viands and the social standing of ones guests, he Is too expensive luxury for persons whose income is no larger and whose prospects are no more certain than were those of Becy Sharp.

 When Jeames is deposed neat-handed Phyllis will preside over table and door. In order to retain some of the dignity and splendor which the presence Of Jeames lends to festive occasions, the economizing hostesses are going to try the experiment of putting their maids into livery based on the heraldic colors of the family or to match the decorations of the house. For special occasions special colors and cap ribbons will lend atmosphere" For in stance, when madame entertans her club- members at luncheon, the maids could wear plain black frocks with the club colors on the pockets of their muslin aprons and on their white caps when the dinner decor ations are pink flowers, pink calico gowns and pink cap ribbons without touch of any other color In their costumes would be quite as pretty and blend in with the sur roundings as harmoniously even the black coat and immaculate shirt-front or the pompous Jeames.
