During the past five years many Ameri-

Guernsey and Attorney are the largest.
These are between England and France and
their inha bitants are an odd mixture of the
two nationalities They are very conserva-

woman's Memory of Woman.

New York World.
The amiable and charming president of
the General Federation of Women S Clubs
is reported to have made confession of
peculiar interest in the course of her re-
marks at the recent annual dinner of Soro-
sis. ut is surprising" said She how
Out of the thousands l meet yearly not
more than twenty-five impress themselves
upon me-"
The clubs in the federation over which
the lady rules as president have a total
membership of 10000. Assuming that she
meets in the course of her annual visits to
the federated clubs but one-half of their
members-although, of course, all the MEM
bers naturally avail themselves of the priv
nege of meeting her lit is proved that but
one out of five thousand of the club ladies
she meets impresses herself upon her. presi-
dent.
Surely it is well to search for the reason
of this. 1t cannot be that the members of
the Federated Womens Clubs are below
the general average of impressiveness. On
the contrary, membership in a women S
club secured by a process of selection,
seems to imply the possession of more than
the average impreSSiYenesS. Also, the pres
ident of such federation must be. to have
received such enviable distinction, woman
of more than the average impressionable-
ness
How then, is the interesting fact to be
explained?
Is it due to woman's memory? OR is it
due to WOman'S personality?

Counsel.


If thou dost bid thy friend farewell
But for one night though that farewell may be,
Press thou his palm with thine. How canst thou
tell
How far from thee
Fate caprice may lead his feet
Ere that tomorrow comes? Men have been
known
To lightly turn the of a street,
And days have grown
u
To months, and months to tagging years.
Before they looked in loving eyes again.
Parting at best is underlaid with tears
With tears and pain.
Therefore, lest sudden death should come
between,
Or time or distance, clasp with pressure true
The hand of him who goeth forth; unseen
Fate goeth too!
Yea find thou Away time to say
earnest word between the idle talk,
Lest with thee henceforth, night and day,
Regret should walk!
