THE GOOD THAT COMES OF IT.
Defense of Women's Clubs and
Women's Work.

When we are asked, as many of us
clubs and club work, we need no bet
ter and more effective answer than to
point to these gratifying achievements.
Apropos of this subject a conversation
with Mrs. Irene Macfadyen comes to
mind, woman who has worked intel
ligently and successfully in the South
in arousing public sentiment in behalf
of the factory child. l asked her what
she considered the most necessary work
to be done by interested women along
this line. Her reply was that there
were absolutely no statistics relating to
the subject; that women can do no bet
ter work than to gather and systematic
ally arrange facts concerning the wages
and conditions Of child labor in the
mills: inquire into the nature and causes
of illness and the percentage Of children
enjoying normal health; also what per
cent. Of these operatives are children
of widows and what of idle parents:
what is the family wage; how long are
children worked at night; are they Civ
en- any lunch; and how are they kept
awake. In some mills it is found
their work. cold water is dashed in their
faces, or thev are allowed to dip snuff
Touching these suggestions I am sure
it will occur to all Of us that the Occa-
sional effort to entertain and feast fac
tory children is Of small moment COM
pared with the good that may be ac-
complished by an intelligent study OF
the conditions that produce such tragic
results. and zealo's effort towards their
speedy removal-A|rs. Rebecca Douglas
Lowe in Gunton's Magazine.

The Honest Thing to Do.

The honest thing to do is to do
thing for the sake of the thing itself
because We love it, because we believe in
it, because We want to do it, because we
feel that it is the one thing of all other
things that we feel we can do and would
like to do. Then we bring mind and
heart together, and that is combina-
ton that nothing can withstand in it's
highest and best results. Then we bring
an honesX of purpose and power of
energy that always make for success
to a cause and an ennobling influence to
ourselves. For that one thing every
woman should search herself to find.
What is the one thing. above and be-
yond all things, that l would like to do
and feel that I can do it? is the ques-
ton she should ask herself. When we
become honest with ourselves we become
effective, says the Pittsburg Press. We
need have no fear that this confinement
to one expression of ourselves will have
a narrowing influence. There is no way
Of knowledge that does not open to us
all other ways. The study of any single
life leads to the history OF the world.

Boiled the Prayer Book.

There was once an old Englishwoman
named Bethia Rummy who attended
service every Sunday morning at St.
Elzevir, distant some two miles from her
cottage, on hillside in Derbyshire. AS
regular in her provision for temporal
wants as she was in attendance to spir-
itual necessities. her custom was to
place piece of bacon in pot near the
fire to be cooked against her return.
Then, with her big prayerbook wrapped
in snowy handkerchief, Bethia trudged
off to St. Elzevir's. One Sunday, how
ever. She came late and flustered to her
usual place. just in front of the reading
desk, and, to her wears astonishment
remarked, as she unfolded the snowy
handkerchief. "Lawk a daisy me! if I
haven't billed the prayerbook and
brought the bacon to church,
