The new club starts out with the new
year under the most favorable auspices,
and with the hearty good wishes of all.
Hypatia the pioneer club Of Wichita, eI-

ter members and three honorary members
The president and vice president Of the
State Federation and Mrs. Governor Elect

Men feel that they do not care to take the
time TO write and tax about these correc-
lions, In order to arouse the public mind,
for no pay and little honor. Here is where
the club women may make their work eff
fective. by agitating reforms, and report
ing what is needed in the schools to school
boards. Patrons day, in which teachers
and patrons come together and discuss the
vital questions of the day; teachers and
mothers meetings, for the purpose of
child study, are other ways of helping.
Women should agitate the questions of
better pay for the school teacher than for
the school keeper Public Libraries should
be placed in every school, and appropriate
apparatus to work with. and a means of
providing for the best energies OF the
teacher TO go to the school rather than
to examining for examinations. All re-
forms in the conditions of our schools
must be agitated by discussions, by writ
ing and by talking until the public mind
is thoroughly aroused to the fact that our
school system and school management are
defective and are not used for the best
interests of our children. comn1itte OF
club women should be appointed 10 wait
upon representatives, asking for legisla-
ton on those questions. that can only be
controlled by state laws.
Cooperation with education will find a
ready response in all pertaining to the de-
velopment of better condition Of our pub
&c hools.
One of the greatest helps to the cause Of
education is the interchange of thought
and the coming together in a social way.
Bring the teacher into the club. Once in
side, they are not an isolated class. In
unity there is strength and it is truly said
that all danger comes from within. Then,
as club women, let us be united for the
uplifting and Improvement of the condi-
lions Of our public schools. and our reward
shall be gratefulness from educators; bet
ter boys and girls; better young men and
women; better citizens; better fathers and
mothrs; better children, and befter
homes.

ChagrIn.

Men who expect to fail, instead Of
expecting to succeed, are very seldom
the victims Of chagrin. It is the men
Of great capacities who are the worst
victims to chagrin, which Is, indeed,
one Of the most serious set-offs against
the advantage of early distinction. 1t
Is, perhaps, a greater misfortune to
have learned to expect that obstacle
after obstacle will 60 down before you
than to have learned to expect that
you will break your shins over them,
and have reason to rejoice when you do
not break them fatally or too often.
The root Of almost all chagrin Is vex-
alton with yenrself-often vexation
quite as ill-founded as Is the vexation
OF man who has never been out in
a whirlwind, when he finds that he
cannot make way against lit, though
he had always previously made way
against the wind. There Is nothing
OF which the strong have less expert
ence than of the forces which may be
brought against them in this world;
and nothing Is more natural nor moro
unreasonable than to resent your own
weakness when you ought only to be
acknowledging the magnitude Of your
difficulties. The true remedy for cha.
grin Is to realize how full the universe
Is e forces against which you have
never yet measured yourself. and OF
the completely Of the causes by which
they are constituted. It is quite as
unjust to yourself to be able to sur
mount a cataract, as it is perfectly
Just to anticipate making way against
an ordinary current or strong tide.
Great success under difficulties Of one
kind prepares a man to overestimate
unduly his power. against difficulties Of
4 very different kind, and to waste
himself In chagrin II he does not find
them turn to wax in his hands.-Lon.
don Spectator.

Ancient Wedding Houses.

In olden times certain towns and VII
laEes In England used to possess .
wedding house, where poor couples, az
ter they had been welded at church,
could entertain their friends at small
cost, the only outlay being the pur-
chase Of such provisions for their
guests as they brought with them. the
house for the Gay being given free Of
payment At Braughing Tor Braeh-
inges), In Hertfordshire, there was q
wedding house Of this kind, which had
a large kitchen with a cauldron, large
spits and dripping pan; large room
for merriment, and q lodging-room,
with good linen. At Great Yeldham, in
Essex, there was another such house.
which was used by the. poorer folk for
dining in after they returned from the
church. AS the practice became obso-
lete the wedding house was turned into
a school. In 1856 Roger Thornton
granted to the mayor and community
of Neutrality-suspicious.. the use Of the
hall and kitchen belonging to Thorn
tons hospital. for the use Of young
couples, when they were married to
make their wedding dinner In. and re-
eeive tho offerings and gifts Of their
friends.

But at that point the voices and
footsteps passed out Of hearing.
The Major shrugged his shoulders
and knocked the ashes somewhat i'm
patiently OF his cigar as he suddenly
found himself lost In a vague mental
speculation as to how far those en-
treaties would fail or succeed. All tho
same. there was slight frown upon
his forehead as he turned away from
the window: and. apparently forget
ting his resolution to take a walk
round the town, he threw himself into
a low chair, to puff away at his cigar
with renewed energy.
The hour of three had struck in
loud measured tones before he reused
himself again: and then, as though by
instinct. he returned to his post at
the window just in time to catch
glimpse Of Miss Luttrell and a large
white parasol disappearing across the
lawn in the direction Of an inviting
clump Of trees.
So the fellow had failed, after all!
Involuntarily a smile rose to the Ma
jor's face. q particularly unsympathet-
ic smile.

evening""
It was a trifling question. certainly,
still it sent the color flaming into the
girls cheeks.
"A handkerchief? she repesssed.
"No; am sure I did not"-with 4 de-
cided shake Of her head.
Are you quite sure, though, because
feel certain 1t Is yours-at least 1t
has your initials on it," he returned,
producing the article in question and
holding up the corner where the crest
Of the Luttrells was embroidered over
the initials e. G. L." This is It. Is
It not yours?"
Evelyn looked at 1t astonished. It
was impossible to deny the ownership.
"Oh, yee-it-it Is mine!"
The admission was made with such
reluctance that Major Brown was con-
scious Of q feeling that In delivering
up the handkerchief to its rightful
owner he was rather under an obliga-
ton to her for deigning to accept it
than that she owed anything to him.
He was therefore quite astonished at
the polite but distant thank you"
which rewarded his efforts, and stood
for some minutes lost In contempla-
ton Of the slight graceful figure as 1t
retreated down long corridor.

he muttered half aloud. "Sambo's
mistress has scented mischief already"
Yes, undoubtedly his scheme had
failed. She had not been 80 blind as to
believe that in both cases his effort to
speak to her was merely chance: and
the major realized with a sense Of the
keenest disappointment that, as mat
ters stood, It was practically useless
hoping to make the slightest progress
toward q more intimate acquaintance.
There was nothing for it therefore
but to let things take their own
course for . day or two. in the mean
while preserving such strict silence.

Dc. Until doomsday! Yet, when only
one hot sultry afternoon. one cool

morning had passed. Major Brown was
thoroughly impatient.

day after his decision, and he was
standing at the open window Of the
smoking room with . most detected
Axprsssion upon his face. It seemed
