AHA IOL WISH to -nufL her 1eellllSSS
 by directly voting her out of office to unanimously resolve that she be henceforth honorary president. Thus they let her down easy and at the same time get q new, real president. This f system is to be generally commended to mems clubs as a satisfactory method of disposing of back number old per sons, and let us remember to her glory that it was woman who devised the graceful scheme, not man.
 Besides the honorary president and active president there is also another type that has evolved in the course of the development of womens clubs. This is the perpetual president.
 Mrs. Calipa Poster (NIrs. John Todd) Corsonne has evolved a brilliant scheme whereby a lady may be always presi- dent. She herself has been president twenty years, and as her health is TO- bust and she practices daily with dumb bells and stump puller and she is now only fifty-five any insurance company would take risks on her for twenty years more. So all signs point to the happy conclusion that Mrs. Calipa Po sier (Mrs. John Todd) Corsonne may be 2 president twenty years more,
 Her system is dead easy when one understands it. Mrs. Calipa Poster (Nfrs. John Todd) Corsonne occupied for four years the presidential chair of the Ladies' League For the Suppression of Dogs and Cats Tn City Flats-L. L.. F s. D. c. c. F. Then the league chose an other head because it believed dogs and cats in flats could best be suppressed by rotation in office Mrs. Corsonne was wounded in her official self respect, so she resigned from the double LIS and immediately organized another club, she of course being president. This club in it's aim and scope promised yet more useful achievement than the double l.. organization since it was a siSferly union for the suppression of

 is the National Congress of Iothers The actual influence of moth CTS over their children after the years of babyhood is not half or quarter so much as gentlemen orators who make speeches at ladies club meetings make it out to be. nore's the pity. The tlltn may as well be told.
 The reason the mothers influence over her children weakeps as they ap- proaeh maturity is that she herself IS not half so wise. strong or intelligent as she should be. The orators decialin of what a mothers power might be and will be as civilization advances. And nothing tends more to bring that bright day than the annual congress of the mothers of the nation at the nation s capital.
 Everybody who is a mother or who ever had a mother is interested in this meeting at Washington the last week of February, beginning Tuesday. The quiet average mother herself has never sought much outside her own home She is too busy. But in our day, when every individual is 8 ganglion in the

Politics begins inside the baby, a writer has said. Therefore the mother must be interested in politics, for the law takes hold of the family and issues. decrees concerning her. children s education, the ace af which they shall become wage earners, the very food they eat.
 These things and more legislation has taken out of the parents hands, and the mother, if she is wise, will follow the course of all lawmaking connected with children and with a mothers rights in her children and her property, so that she may use it to rear her chill dren.
 The first suggestion for national ! congress of mothers was made by Mrs. | Theodore w. Birney at Chautaqua in | 1895. Every genuine woman feels at heart as though somehow she were the mother Of all humanity, suffering. sim ming, slipping, falling, yet ever rising l again, and she fain would help it, whether she be married or single. The idea of a mothers congress at Washington spread like fire in stubble. Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, mother whose name is a synonym for unobtrusiye generosity, made herself responsible for the financial success of the first con yention, and it was held at the national capital in 1S97 The congress has met every winter since, at Washington in 1898 and 1899, at Des Moines Ia, and [ Columbus, O., in 1900 and 1901 and now again, 1902. at Washington.

Princess May of Wales makes good use of the jewelry which has been pre- sented her from time to time and seems to give each article a fair turn, from her splendid tiaras, which can also serve as necklaces, to the smaller dia- mond brooches which dot here and there about her corsage.
