" THE JAMESONS."

1.-THE ia MESONS."
MISS WILkINS'S new book is
IVA even more than usual a delight
to all who read. She has had the inspi-
in a country town, and the result can
be imagined by any one who knows her
inimitable methods. Mrs. H. Board
man Jameson, who sets out to intro
duce the inhabitants of Linnville to
Browning, Ibsen, and Maeterlinck, to
aesthetics and Rational Attire is a dis
tinct and unforgettable creation, and
the effect of her efforts to "widen the
spheres of these good New Englanders
is quite irrcsistibly portrayed. The
book is already in its eighth thousand,
the advance orders having speedily ex-
hausted the first edition.

This is a truly remarkable first

much attention from the critics. 1t

with the least appreciation of poetry to
read this little volume without real
izing that the author is a true poet and
one Of entirely IN gifts. Mr..
Edmund Clarence Stedman has So
lected six Or seven of these for his
American Anthology" writing the
author that although this work is in
tended to cover only the w]ell-known
writer's, he felt constrained to make an
exception in her case.

Editor Club Department:
send you this morning a few lines,
bearing upon the proposed bill-which is
to be introduced 10 our legislature for
aid in supp orting the scheme of estab.
fishing travelling libraries throughout
our state.-Anythi'g you can add by
way Of emphasizing the Importance OF
this action. will be productive of good.
The State Federation of Womens'
clubs has become most potent factor
in all social and educational movem ents
of the day. This is the direct result Of
the earnest and faithful efforts to give
to women the broadcast training and the
best preparation 70 fit them for what.
ever duty life may bring. Who can
doubt the benefits that must result from
the united and harmonious action OF
thousands OF earnest and devoted WON.
en- who are pursuing similar courses of
study along the various lines of educa-
tional and philanthropic work? It
means that this progressive Woman's
Century is but the beginning Of better
things. 1t means, that the intent and
purpose is mot to demand success but
to deserve it," At the present time,
our attention is especially directed
toward the effort which is being made
TO secure an appropriation from the
State legislature. to aid in establishing
travelling libraries" This system has
been so successfully operated in other
states, and has proven such benefac.
ton to the great mass of people who
live distant from educational centers.
that we would urge upon our represen.
tatives the necessity of immediate and
favorable action. This we would ask
IN behalf OF the vast numbers who live
within the borders Of our fair state, and
who are deprived Of the benefits and
pleasure to be derived from having tho
best OF books as a means for self i'm.
provement. Ignorance is at best a
most extravagant and wasteful condi.
ton, and in view of the economic in.
terests which all have at heart in legis.
'ative action. this must appeal to every
thoughtful mind. BY placing this sys.
tenn OF travelling libraries" upon safe
financial basis our legislative body will
take one OF the most forward steps of
our boosted nineteenth century.

Magnetism has been applied in an in
genious way to the automatic holding
of electric lamps in any desired posi-
ton. The holder of the lamp, which is
thoroughly magnetized, will adhere to
any piece of iron or steel at any angle,
SO that by its use iron workers can Sc
cure light at any part of their work
without the Inconvenience attendant
on the use Of torch. AS the light can
be made to shine exactly where it is
wanted, the magnetic holder is of the
greatest service when the workman
is employing the lathe, planer, drill and
other tools. It's use in boiler shops is
doing away with torches, as it can be
carried inside the boiler. For many
classes of work, especially the making
of locomotives, it is highly recommend
ed, not the least of its advantages be-
ing that it frequently enables an as
sistant to be dispensed with.

The array of novel collarettes anG
boas now to be seen In leading city
stores is unusually attractive. And
these are just the days for them-this
breezy, crisp autumnal weather, when
it's far too cool for promenading with
out more protection than the jacket
gives at the throat and neck, yet hard
ly winterish enough for storm collars
or heavy furs. Some of the newest
conceits in boas and collarettes are
made of coarse net and mousseline
de sole, thickly dotted with chenille
pompons. These styles are full at the
neck, and have long, well-rounded
tabs, which can be caught in grace
fully at the waist or allowed to fall
free, at the wearer's will. While in
expensive, the effect of these dainty
muffiers is very pleasing, particularly
where worn by a slender, willowy wo-
man, but there are other collarettes-
thousands of them. Many are pretty.
and few otherwise. Every taste can
be satisfied, and it is not necessary to
empty the pocketbook in order to pos.
sess oneself of a dainty and artistic
throat protector.
