"In short said Mrs. Kelley the other day
in her Office in New York, Il want to d.

provide scholarships for suffering children
of the very poor. There IS not state In
the union where the laws in regard to child
labor not broken. Children who ought
to be in school are working in factories,
mines and stores. This Is not only crime

1t Is providing for the future class of citi-

schools, on the ground that republic must
have intelligent citizens for its own safety.
1t Is equally right and important that 1t
should be made possible for those children
who need 1t most to take advantage of
those schools.
"A great many parents are selfish and
avaricious, and put their children to work
when 1t is not actually necessary.
Such cases should be corrected by the en-
forcement Of the factory laws, which Is
what the Consumers League Is trying all

otherwise. But in the cases of poor widows

from it's work. Very often it Is only by the
labor of the children that the family can
be kept together. The only other alterna-
tive is the breaking up of the family and
the placing of the children in asylums; al
ways a regrettabe thing.
But this view of the case does not remove
the responsibility from the shoulders of So
ciety. Society has no right to strap such
burden as that on the back of little child.
The child has the same right to its educa-
ton as the children of more prosperous pa

If it does not fulfill that right. At any rate,
we are going to give those who profess to
be friends of education an opportunity to
show whether they are willing to put money

famous requests. but will silently transform
the lives of little children
Mrs. Kelley has secured the cooperation
OF the National Humane Society in this
work. At its convention just held in Alba
ny at her request it created committee on
protection of working children selecting as
chairman Mrs. Totten of Washington. D. C.
This will enlist the numerous local humane
societies all over the country in the work
of enforcing child labor laws. The General
Federation of Women's Clubs has taken
this for Its special work during the next
two years. so that there seems general

some of our states and be promptly buried

be denied by few intelligent persons any
where that the proposed law is theoretically
a good one, and that if enacted and en-
forced it would go far toward keeping the
human race physically sound and normal,
as well as stopping the appalling increase
of criminals and degenerates. In fact, such
a law strictly carried out through period
of years would go far toward eliminating
from the race many of its inherited vices
and other weaknesses and bringing 1t meas
urabIy nearer an ideal condition, so far, at
least, as physical qualities are concerned,
and this could hardly be without an i'm
provement in moral attributes also. For

Artistic bookbinding, so much neglected
In recent years, has lately had much more
attention paid to it, with the result that
there has been marked improvement in
the quality Of the design. The establish
ment few years ago Of the Guild Of Wo-
men Binders has contributed materially to
bring this about, and the work these ladies
have turned out has shown most emphati-
cally how well fitted they are for the pro-
duction of the very best results, in which
evidence is given of the highest artistic
taste. combined with splendid craftsman
ship. In common with so many other asso-
Citations, the Guild of Women Binders has
prepared an address for presentation to the
king, congratuiating his majesty on the
coronation. The address Is illuminated in
gold and colors on vellum and bound in
green morocco. with 168 inlays of colorrd

A Plan to Keep Children Of Widows
in School Without Breaking
Up the Home.
Written for The Evening Star.


A far-reaching scheme of philanthropy,
OF kind never before attempted, has been
inaugurated by Mrs. Florence Kelley, under
the auspices of the National Congress Of
Mothers. This is nothing less than the pay
ment of an amount equal to the wages of
child to those families in which the
childs wages are necessary. in order that
the child may be kept in school, the found
ing of scholarships. in short
Mrs. Kelley is the we'll known national
secretary of the Consumers League, which
has for its object the creation and enforce
ment of humane factory laws and the pre-
vention Of child labor. Mrs. Kelley has
worked for years along these lines and is
the only woman who was ever chief factory
inspector of a state; she having held that
position in Illinois. Very recently she was
appointed chairman of the child labor COM

With record OF more than forty thou
sand bouquets distributed during the past
summer months, the Boston Flower and
Fruit Mission has brought it's thirty-second
season of work to a close. In no previous
year has the work been SO rich in results
and SO widespread in it's influence as has
been the case this year. 1t largely was
due to the revival of old-fashioned garden
flowers, which proved a special boon to the
mission, enabling 1t to record more than
40 900 bouquets, as against $4,000 distrfb-
uted the previous summer. Increasing fdcii-
tiles for quick railroad transportation and
the courtesy OF the railroad companies
have helped to add to the list of contribu-

Pretty and inexpensive.

Some inexpensive and very pretty waists
are made of lightly spotted mohairs and
plain wool veilings. A charming model in
bisque wolfe was finely tucked all over with
three wide tucks forming a bust and sleeve
band. These were arranged to meet as
usual. since the tendency with all bodice
trimming is to make the shoulders seem as
long as possible. The downward fall of the
sleeves accentuates this further. while all
the shaping of skirts Is to lessen the
breadth OF hips.

sleeves of these fine waists are commonly
long. and everywhere one sees the inverted
mutton leg with the simple wristband which
has grown so popular.
Five stunning waists displayed by a we'll
known Broadway firm all sported these
bagSy arm coverings, which. as always in
the best models. were glove tight at the up
per arm. TWO were consolatory substitutes
for the Irish lace creations. which heavenly
beautifers only the children of fortune may
afford.
Both were of embroidered chiffon. one in
pale corn color with purple grapes in che
mile. and the other skyblue with novel
flower sprays In autumn colorings. In color
scheme both of these bodices were bewll
derinsly lovely and the home dressmaker on
such ffneries bent. will do well to rernenl-
Der their blendings. AS to model. the corn
colored beauty was the more rayishng one
of the pair. Made in wide circular tucks,
with the grape border outlining the cut out
neck. this waist seemed especially suited to
slight figures. The bodice fastened under
the left arm, deep crush girdle of purple
velvet finishing the waist. The line of the
sleeves was the usual thing. but It was very
unusual In detail. Over the bottom puff in
plain ch1frOn was long cup in bias tuCkS.
of the figured sort, which made the waist
proper. Two punches of the chenille grapes
ornamented these low on the arm, with
graceful and stylish result.
With Persian Trimmings.
Another very effective waist was in a
heavy ivory silk with embroideries in Per
sian colors. This bodice, which fastened at
the left bust under a band of the embroid-
cry. displayed a handsome yoke trimming
and the new epaulette shoulder bands.
Black liberty satin is a durable and eff
fective material which many knowing wo-
men are now using for matinee and shop
ping waists. One of the fine Broadway
models was composed OF 1t. square yoke
and long cuffs of white silk braided with
black suggesting here a surety of pleasur-
ing. Knob buttons of white crystal, placed
below the edge of the yoke back and front
was pretty II somewhat eccentric touch.
Apropos of buttons. have you noticed how
SO many of the cheaper shop waists have
taken to a single one on the shoulder seams?
1t IS placed directly al the top Of the
sleeves. where 1t catches the rowing eye in
stantly and causes the mind Of man to spec
ulate on its purpose. Beware of these metal
and pearl and bone shoulder deckings. They
have no reason for being. and are the
strawberry marks, SO to speak of the large
family Of the ready-made. One may wear
ready-made clothes, but it is an appalling
crime to look as II one does.

How the Skies Look to O Pierre Cores
pendent of the Sioux Falls Argus
Leader,

pondent OF the Sioux Falls Argus
Leader.
The democrats of South Dakota scored
a point against the populists in their call
for a convention for the selection of a
democratic ticket without asking the
consent Of the ~populists as to-what they
might do. They have left the ~populists
~floundering and very deeply at sea as to
what to do. They feel that they have a
larger number of votes than the demo-
Gratis have, but that to attempt a state
organization in opposition to the demo-
Gratis would practically compel them to
while they have no hope of carrying
anything on the state ticket ever in co.
operation with the democrats, to divide
would also cut them out of a chance of
securing county Offices, which is now all
they have left to hope for. The law of
last winter which prohibits a name from
appearing more than once on the official
ballot is a thorne in their sides and keeps
them squirming. They are torn into
factions, each wanting to carry out its
plan. One faction wants TO meet at the
same time and place with thedemocrats.
and attempt to secure a division of the
ticket, while another faction wants TO 90
it alone, on the declaration that they are
the larger party Of the two and if there
should be any asking forlfayors il should
come from the democrats and not from
them. At the same time there is talk in
some quarters of bringing a test in the
supreme court on the constitutionali:y
Of the law which cuts out the right to
fuse.
The socialist faction is also discussing
the advisability of putting a state ticket
in the field, and in case they should take
any such action, they will draw TO them
the most radical of the old line populists,
while the rest of them will divide be-
tween the democratic and republican
parties. The indications just now are
that the populist party as an ~organiza.
ton will go out of existence in South
Dakota with the present campaign.
While the opposition to the republi-
cans are thus milling" the republicans
themselves are feeling very easy. Their
state convention called to meet in Sioux
Falls, on the fourth of June will be the
largest convention ever called in the
state, with about twelve hundred dele.
gates, but Sioux Falls has handled a
number of conventions both state and
national, and will no doubt entertain all
who attend in a satisfactory manner, as
they are in better position to take care
ola crowd than any other city in the
state. While the convention will be
large the indications are for but very
little excitement, even the most radical
kickers are beginning to call the con
vention the coming "loye feast" So
many OF the republican candidates are
certain of denomination or have no OPP
position, that the excitement Of the con.
vention will be confined to one or two
