A Charitable Wnmnn-

Mrs. J. B. Cox of Philadelphia, who
has devoted a great part of her life to
philanthropic and charitable work, has
collected S150,000 for various deserving
institutions. In addition to her charita-
BILE work, Mrs Cox has figured to CON
siderable extent in the public life of
Philadelphia in other ways. In 1878 she
was one Of 10 women representing the
IL original states at the Centennial and
was one of the committee that presented
John Welsh with the English and Amer
lean flags. She was first directress of
the DreXel institute and was one of the
committee of representative women from
Pennsylvania to the Columbian exhibit
ton at Chicago. For many years she was
the leading spirit in the Educational
home and Lincoln institution.

when Choosing Vocal Music.

The young woman who merely sings
or plays well enough to make pleasant
music for her friends can still be artistic
in the style and quality of her perform
ance. If she lives away from musical
centers, one of her greatest difficulties
is keeping in touch with new and charm
ing compositions. and to this end some
suggestions are offered as to the works
now delghting the inner circle Of music
savers, both in this country and abroad,
rays the Washington Times.
The accompaniment is the rock on
which the inexperienced amateur is ship
wrecked. So many songs are now piano
pieces With a voice part. and when the
singer writes for songs she should stipn-
late that only those with simple accom-
paniment be sent her, as every soprano
song does not adapt itself to high voice
nor every song written for low voices
lie in" every contralto's range.
The wise way to choose your vocal
music is first to know exactly what part
Of your own voice is best and to try to
select songs which lie most among those
very good notes; secondly, to read the
words carefully and see il they convey

What Laundresses Full to COmpre-
hPnd

Soft water for washing is preferable to
hard for various reasons. In the first
place, because it uses less soap, more soap
being required to make lather with hard
water than with soft. In the second place,
because hard water contains deposit of
lime, which is not good for the clothes,
tending to rot the tiberS. One soon learns
to know the difference in feeling between
hard and soft water. There is no sub
stance so hard that it cannot be dissolved
sooner or later with water. Water dis
solves the dirt, and water without soap
will do this. We use soap, however, to
soften the grease which holds the parti-
cles of dirt, which loosen as the grease is
softened. If, therefore, the water which
you are compelled to use is hard, use DO.

Here are a few ''don'ts" which house
wives would do well TO bear in mind il
they wish their rooms to be not only in
good taste. but artistic as well:
Don't overload your rooms with furni-
ture or pictures.
Don't choose deliberately designed cur
talns, hanglngs or tabecloths for room
with floral paper.
Don't waste your money on a wholesale
accumulation of cheap bric-a-brac $50
called. 1t only helps to gather dust and
dirt.
Don't choose plain curtains with plain
carpet and wall paper.
Don't choose a blue paper and white
paint for n room with cold. e., north
ern-aspcct
Don't buy limitations Of good things in
the way of furniture. If you cannot af-
ford the originals. do without, and con-
tent yourself with something which is
what it processes to be.
Don't indulge in painted milking stools
or painted drain pipes.
Don't waste your money on plush
brackets. plush cup and saucer holders
or painted tembourncs
Don't drape your looking glasses with
art muslin. or, for the matter of that.
with anything at all.
Don't tic bows on the backs of your
chairs.
Don't indulge in tides Of any kind.
Don't paint wreaths of flowers upon
your parlor looking glasses.
Don't imagine that the penitude Of
furniture means well furnished house.
1t does nothing of the sort.
Don't buy cheap saddcbag. velvet or
plush furniture
Finally, buy the least amount of furni-
ture you can do with. and let it be of az
simple a design as possible. and your
house is sure to be well furnished.

WOman's Ministry.

Man relies far more than he is aware
for comfort and happiness on womans
tact and management He is so accus-
toned to these that he is unconscious
of their worth They are so delicately
concealed, and yet so ceaselessly exer-
cised, that he enjoys their effect as he
enjoys the light and atmosphere. He
seldom thinks how it would be with him
were they withdrawn. He fails to appre-
ciate what is so freely given. He NAV
be reminded of them now and then, he
may complain of intrusion or interfer.
ence. but the frown is smoothed away
by gentle hand, the murmuring lips are
stopped with a caress, and the manage
ment goes on.

IN particular white with dust.
The queen understands not only IT, big
but the little practices of housekeeping
SO in silent dignity, as a compelling re-
proof, she wrote in the dust with her
finger. Victoria r."
But, alas. this subtle rebuke was vast
ed and the following day when her maj
esty passed through the room she saw
the dust a trihe thicker and her name as
she had written it the day before. Perse-
vering, the queen then asked the name OF
the untidy housemaid and learning it
wrote that also below her own.
This last effort was rewarded with sue
cess. and the third day the dust and the
names had both disappeared. and" as
the story goes, the silent rebuke from
her sovereign was never forgotten by the
neglectful maid"

That time honored custom of the good
hOusekeeper, the semiweekly airing of
the family bread box. has latterly fallen
under condemnation as offering spe-
cial facilities for the Judgment of mi
crobes. Flying dust is apt to carry germs
of mold which grow on and contaminate
the bread. After the boxes have been
thoroughly scalded they should be i'm
mediately dried and closed A method
of keeping bread approved by Mrs. Rob
rer is to slip 1t into clean unbleached
muslin bags and hang in dry closet.
These bags must be washed and scalded
after each using. Bread should never
be kept in the cellar nor in wood or
stone receptacle.

Gray Haired Women.

There is a gray haired joke current
among would be wits depicting the hor.
ror with which woman discovers her
first gray hair and the frantic haste with
which she seeks to remedy it. But gray
hair is no longer a sign of age The
rush and nervous tension of American
life are bringing whitening locks to the
comparatively young. and the woman
who finds streaks of silver in her brown
or golden tresses should set herself at
once to discover the good and bad points
of the change and to dress accordingly.
Gray hair is not only beautiful in
itself. but softening to the complexion
and so picturesque that its coming often
transforms hitherto plain person into
a distinguished looking individual. Ma.
ture seems TO have provided it especially
for the time when the darkening and less
clear complexion needed something to
tighten and relieve it. This by its re-
Elected lights it does in mastery fash
ion. darkening by contrast the eyes
which age has paled and softening and
clearing the skin. What prettier sight is
there than a gracious elderly woman
with waves of soft, snowy hair above
her brow?

Wives Who study.

How often young wife and mother
bewails the fact that she has missed her
opportunities of an. education. There
need be no such thought to her. She has
life before her, and it lies with her wheth-
er it shall be in interested, happy progress
or an aimless' giving way to what she
deems the inevitable, No child, is the
worse for its mother picking up the ends
of her time and devoting them to study
No husband is less happy that his wife
is cheerful student as well as house
keeper. There is much truth in the theo-
ry that one finds time for the things she
really loves to do. 49,

Our Endurance.

During life each member of the
human body produces poison to itself.
When this poison accumulates faster
than it can be eliminated, which al
ways occurs unless the muscle has
an interval of rest, then will come
fatigue, which is only another express
sion for toxic infection.
If the muscle is given an interval OF
rest, so that the cell can give off its
waste product to keep pace with the
new productions, the muscle will then
liberate energy for long time. This
latter condition is what we call en-
durance.
Like any other ponderous and in
tricate machine, the body requires
time to get in harmonious working
order. The brain, nerves, heart and
skeletal muscles must be given some
warning of the work they are expected
to perform. Ignorance of this fact has
broken down many young man who
aspired to honors on the cinder path.
The necessity Of getting all the parts
of the body slowly in working order is
we'll understood by trainers and jockeys
on the race track, as is evinced by the
preliminary warming up they give
their horses although it is doubtful if
the trainers could give any physiologic
reason for their custom.-Popular

Witchcraft,

1.-THE sixteenth and seventeenth cen
turies," said John Fiske, 'were the
flourishing ages Of the witchcraft de-
fusion. Witchcraft, in the early ages,
was considered one Of the greatest Of
crimes, as much so as murder, robbery
or any other serious offense against
the law, and the belief In it was shared
by the whole human race until the lat
ter part of the seventeenth century.
"In England, in 1864, two women
were tried before Sir Matthew Hale,
charged with bewitching several girls
and a baby, and they were put to
death, for at that time the evidence
seemed perfectly rational. In 1915, in
Genoa, 500 people were burned to
death on the charge Of witchcraft. 1t
was the proud boast Of noted execu-
toner in northern Italy, at this time,
that in Is years he had assisted In
burning 900 persons charged with sor-
Gerry. In Scotland, between 1860 and
1900, 5000 people were put to death,
an average Of 200 year. The last
execution for witchcraft in England
took place in 1712, in Scotland in 1922,
in Germany in 1749 and in Spain in
1871"

"Br'er Squirrel, had a brother who
could jump from the top of a tall tree
right into my arms" II can too"
And he did. Br'er Fox ate him all up.
Br'er Rabbit was lying in his bed

could do something you cannot do"
"What was itW said Br'er Fox.
"My brother could let anybody tie a
