1LL-ADv1sED CHARITIES.
AisAirseted Effort Means q Constant
Loss to Those Needing Aid
"e. Some Instances.

What takes much away from the
strength of charitable work followed
by the leisure classes is the woeful
misunderstanding of the needs of the
people whom they would help. For
instance, recently body of intelligent
New York women formed themselves
into an association ITO give practical
help to farmers wives in isolated
places" The idea was, of course, an
excellent one; the field exists for ben
eficial work, but what were the means
of practical help" devised? To "fur-
nish looms, spinningwheels and knit
ting-needles, with proper instructions"
to farmers wives so that they might
learn how to make ''lovely embroidery"
which would command high prices in
the large cities!" Almost on the same
day company of wealthy Ohio wom-
en- formed an organization for "the
better understanding of the higher
moral laws by the dolnestics in our
honest" A Chicago organization, just
formed, declares for its purpose the,
providing of "clean and elevating even
ing amusements for the girls and sales
women of our large stores" AL these
charities are seriously entered upon,
are well-intentioned, but they show q
pitiable ignorance of needed reforms.
Our farmers wives are not sitting up
nights looking for something to do.
God knows they need no further bur-
dens, no more Industries" their need
is for more rest, for more forms of
recreation, which means cessation
from labor. Our servants do not stand
in need of a higher morality as much
as they do of more practical knowl-
edge of their work and more consid-
Grafton at the hands of their mis-
tresses. Our shopgirls and saleswomen
are not clamoring for ''clean and ele-
waiting evening amusements" so much
as that women shall shop little more
intelligently and systematically.--Ed-
ward w. Box, in Ladies' Home Journal.
