Home1y Proverbs.
From the Academy

From the Academy.
Suspicion has key that fits every
lock.
Don't pull the house down be-
cause the chimney smokes.
If you give me knife, give me
fork, too.
Give me to drink, but drench me
not.
A hole in the purse, and the cup
board the worse.
The fuller the hand, the harder
to hold.
Stroke the dog, but beware of his
bite.
Heap on the Goals, and put out
the fire.
The fool kept the shell, and threw
away the kernel.
One cock is sure to crow if he
hears another.
In comes the fiddler and out goes
the money.
The shorter the wit the longer
the word.
Saw off any branch but that you
are sitting on.
Ny par:&er ate the neat and left
me the bone.
If you break your bowl you lose
your broth.
Don't wait until it is dark before
you light the lamp.
Every bell must ring in its own
tone.
If you shoot one bird you scare
the whole flock.
Beware of pride says the peacock.
You must shut your eyes if the
dust blows in your face.

Congressman E. w. Carmack,

Some Women's Clubs.

In answer to an inquiry would say
that the Oldest national organization of
women is undoubtedly the National
Woman Suffrage association, formed
by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia
Mott, Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone,
Julia Ward Howe and other progressive
women nearly half century ago.
There may be local societies Of greater
age, but l am referring only to those
which have organizations in several or
all of the states AT present the Ma
tional Woman's Suffrage association
has membership of 10, 600 and auxil-
iaries in nearly every state of the Union.
Another old society is the New Cen
fury club, which has headquarters at
its own clubhouse in Philadelphia. 1t
is philanthropic organizati ton, carries
on educational movements summer
schools, working women's guilds, gives
legal protection to women, etc 1t has
several branches in other cities.
The New England Woman's club was
founded by Julia Ward Howe, Eliza
beth Maria Childs and others for sim
liar purpose, Out llS membership Is
limited to New England.
Sorosis was founded 81 years ago by
Mrs. David G. Croly. better known as
"Jennie June" as sort of protest
against the suffrage movement and to
stimulate the growth of culture among
women The headquarters are in New
York, but women in any part of the
country may join after an election,
which requires a thirds vote in the
affirmative and taking pledge to up
hold any sister member in any good
work Mrs. Charles H Denison is the
president The banquets and the reg
ular meetings of Sorosis are among the
social events of New York, and its
membership includes the most conspic-
uous and influential women in that
city.

alton of Washington is the Oldest or

1t is we'll known to the friends of the
presidents wife that she delights in
beautiful laces, and her lace possessions
include rare designs of exquisite quail
ty. But it appears that Mrs McKin-
ley's fondness for laces has become
known almost in faraway lands, in
Guiding Paraguay, where laces like filmy
cobwebs are wrought by the hands Of
the women. A gift of these lovely laces
has been received by Mrs. Mckinley
from Nine. Aceval the wife of the pres
ident of Paraguay They were sent
through the department of state, and
with them came a charming note from
Nine Aceval begging acceptance as
little token of esteem and admira-
ton.
There are a number of pocket hand
kerchiefs. square covers for pin cush-
ions and round doilies, all of the finest
thread possible in lacework. While the
cobweb pattern is the rule, there is an
occasional departure in favor of the fan
design that is indirectly suggestive of
japanese ingenuity If one had any
doubt as to the versatility of that in
dustrious spinner the spider, such doubt
would vanish before the variety of webs
shown in Mrs. Mckinley Paraguayar

No two pieces are alike, The hand
kelchiefs have tiny square center Of
the finest linen, and from this gauzy
foundation the lace is wrought ont,
about five or six inches wide. 1t is not
alone iii the pattern, but also in the
weight, that the cobweb is apparent.
The work is so exquisitely fine that the
dozen pieces altogether make the weight

Home Fcr snIdiers nnd Their wivcs

Chicago has one of the most unique
soldiers homes in the country. There
is none other like it in Illinois, and
only two or three other states possess
similar institutions. Unlike the usual
home for soldiers, the Chicago home
cares for not only the veterans, but
their wives as well, and also the wild
ows and mothers of soldiers.
A few days ago the home celebrated
its eighth birthday, but despite its
youth the constantly increasing de-
mands made upon it since the day it
was founded have necessitated two re-
movals to larger quarters. The organi-
cation of women who support the insti-
tuition raises money in all sorts Of ways.
They gave card parties, to which an
admission fee of 20 cents is charged.
These are held at the home, where the
public are shown the practical results
of their contribution; picnies, outings
and miscellaneous entertainments also
replenish the treasury
Mrs. Wardner, the founder, gives an
interesting account of the origin and
rise of the home 1.-The idea of starting
such a home as we have first came to
me in 1891, said Mrs. Wardner. cit
occurred to me that it was pitiful for
old soldiers and their wives to be sep
arated in their old age. There seemed
to be plenty of homes in the country
for the old veterans and plenty of others
for their widows, but almost none
where the old soldier could go and take
his wife IT the soldiers went to any of
them they must leave their wives be-
hind and trust to some other charity to
prevent them from suffering.
Il thought it would be a grand thing
if we could establish such home here
in Chicago. l began talking with a
number of my women friends and some
men, too, and most of them thought
the project entirely feasible Our first
