Labor Commissioner McMackin that
thousands of children under the lawful
age are working in factories for Twins
In this State. The poverty of parents
drives them to represent that their boys
and girls are older than they really are.
"The Commissioners cure Is to require
a certificate giving official evidence of the
age of the child derived from the public
records. as is the practice in Europe.
That is all right. as far as IL goes. and
the Legislature should heed Commission
er McMackin's Recommendation.
But is II not possihl, for statesman
ship to go further? May 1t not give
thought to the causes of the poverty
which compels parents to make drudges
Of their Titles ones?
Poverty Is not divinely decreed In
stitution. 1t Is thing Of human manu-
facture.
The fathers and mothers of these
child slaves In factories would much
rather have them at school and getting
out Of life that healthy Joy which is
child's birthright.
But the fear of starvation is the whip
of the master.
Poverty covers before It,"

GOOD FORM TO
ACCEPT OR DECLINE.


ACCEPT OR DECLINE.
As the after-Easter social season ap-
proaches would 1t not be well for those
who take part in 1t to bear in mind that
Il is an established rule Of good form
to accept or decline an invitation. and
not, as so frequently done, leave the host
ess In blissfui 90 ignorance as to the
number of guests for whom she must
prepare.
Many Of the established rules OF So
called good form are born Of no spe-
cial principle Of politeness or utility. and
have no obvious 'traison d'etre," but this
is not one Of them 1t Is the outcome OF
what should be an innate sense Of what
true good breeding requires.
A hostess goes to the trouble Of writ
ing a note to each of her guests: surely
1t Is not expecting too much that one be
sent in return. And yet 1t Is frequently the
complaint Of Montgomery hostesses that
their invitations are met by many with
dead silence. and when the hour arrives,
they are surprised. SO to speak. by the
presence or absence of the social delin-
quent.
A Montgomery hostess entertained at
cards early in the season, when fifteen
corresponding guests came, and some
brought visitors with them. The situa-

anything better, tell him to
give it to you.

CHILD SLAVERY IN RICH
AND CHRISTIAN NEW YORK

Now that the Southern States are so
agitated on the subject of child labor in
the factories. it is we'll to note that the
Northern States, even those which have
legal protection of the child, have troubles
of their own on this line.
In New York the law provides that no
child under IA years shall be employed In
factories, and under 16 certificates of age
and school attendance are required; yet
there Is trouble in enforcing the law as
is attested by the following on Child
Slavery in Rich and Christian New
work. " which is taken from a New York
exchange:

An invitation received authorizes the
request for another for a guest in one S
household, but does not give liberty for
the adding of one without notification of
the hostess.
Any hostess who knows" will, of
course. include in an invitation one to a
visitor, but sometimes the presence in
the city of the guest is not known to her.
In this case, she should be told, or if
the affair is too small a dinner, perhaps.
the invitation should be declined and the
reason mentioned.

MISS Lorr1E WALKERS SUCCESS


1t will be remembered that about tour
years ago two Southern girls. Miss
Walker of Texas and Miss Hattie Ganahl
of Augusta. Ca. were here with Mans
field. both taking minor parts. They
were during their stay here the guests Of
Mrs. Forney Stevenson-than Miss Foster
and having many other friends In the
city, Montgomery was especially interest
ed In them.
Miss Walkers subsequent history js OF
more than usual interest. She within a
year married quite a wealthy and promi-
nent young man of Galveston, Texas, to
whom she was engaged when here. They
lived in Galveston and in the great storm
lost every thing. barely saving life. She
Immediately turned her thoughts to the
stage. and in short time was again a
member of Mansfields company. Later
she became Kyrle Bellows leading lady.
and is now Hackett's leading lady. This
is a wonderful career for young
actress. She has, as Hackett's leading
lady reached the top. save the rung of
the ladder Of becoming a star herself.
Miss Ganahl left the stage at the end
of her first year and Is now In New
York writing. The two young girls who
made the similar start and whose careers
so greatly diverged. are first cousins. and
both have relatives in Montgomery.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. - Mrs.
Roosevelt and the wives of the Cabi-
net secretaries who meet every Satur-
day morning In solemn conclave are
discussing plan to revolutionize the
dinner costume now in vogue.
Heretofore Washington ladies,
without distinction of position, have
appeared at dinners In the regulation
decollecte gown. Quips and sneers al
this full dress have been unavailing
to compel the ladies to raise the si-
perstructure OF their gowns by an
inch, but Mrs Roosevelt and her as
sociates propose that while the gown
itself shall not be tampered with a
jacket or dinner coat shall become q
proper and fashionable mode OF keep
ing the shoulders warm. The late
Mrs. Gage was a champion of this re-
form. and some assert that her death
was attributable 10 a cold which at
tackled her at dinner party.

what further steps were likely to be
taken except to bring the proposition
to the attention OF the Secretary OF
State and President.
1t can be stated that t1e president
will communicate the proposition to
Congress. This cour So vii be pursued

the canal question is now purely one
