"There is no special characterize

The brain. the soft organ within the skull is nat

and intellect ii is the organ in which transacted
the highest faculties of man.
Notwithstanding all this, which is generally ap-

is very important, bearing in mind a

working is not comparable with flame

heat evolved is such as may lead TO

TWO ROSES.
By ELIZABETH ELLICOTT POE.

Two roses, dear, give to you.
They bear a message for your ear.
So 'gainst your cheek let them repose
And you, their whispered greetings hear.
In white rose, dear, my constancy
Is woven in each petal;
Its thorns are like the tests that prove
The virtue of metal.
Its veil of white, the purity
With which my thoughts enshrine you
Its fragrance is the joyous days
In which my heart first knew you.
In red rose, dear, its ruby glow
Is height and depth of love,
And passions flame and trembling hands,
Dark eyes bedewed with true love.
Loves height is Heaven we hope to see
And claim, some day, as ours;
Its depth is Death we taste to crown
These glorious living hours.
Two roses, dear, 1 give to you
Search closely and you'll see,
The whispered thoughts breathed to them
When they belonged TO me.

OFFICE GIRLS LUNCHEON.
Cup Of Tea and = Lady Finger, or
Something substantials

Cup of Tea and = Lady Finger, or
Something substantial,
The girl beginning her career as a
stenographer receives the average pay
of the Office boy who sweeps and dusts
the Office in the morning and runs err
rands-that is to say, 81 to SO week.
The reasons she is thus poorly paid
are two: First, there are now 50 many
stenographers and typewriters; second,
eleven out of twelve of them could not
write page dramatically and spell
and punctuate it correctly II their lives
depended on 1t. So, though they have
paid considerable money to learn their
trade, they get almost the poorest
wage and cannot afford substantial
noon meal.
Ten cents day Is the average Of
what they can spend for luncheon 1t
Is q poor lookout for food supply that
makes rich blood. When the young
woman who works in city Office goes
to a restaurant for her luncheon, she
looks with her outer eye over the
menu and with her inner eye at that
10 cents. She orders either a cup of
tea and piece of cake or a glass Of
milk and slab of bakers pie. Tomor-

row perhaps she will have pie and tea
and next day glass Of milk and a
lady finger. With this trash in her
stomach - trash except the glass Of
milk--she returns to work. Her corset
is laced tight, her skirt is heavy and
trailing, catching up every microbe of
conta gion that can be conceived, and
in this kind of fighting trim she goes
into an Office to compete with man In
a business way. Heaven have mercy
on her misguided soul!
She is a proper object for charitable
consideration and philanthropic ladies
in the large cities are now doing their
utmost to alleviate her troubles, at
least 80 far as luncheon Is concerned.
The foolish dress can only be remedied
when the Almighty shall send her bet
ter light and knowledge.
The phiianthropic ladies are estab-
fishing Office women's lunchrooms in
the heart Of city business centers. The
model plan thus far is perhaps that in
operation in Chicago. 1t is the WON
ans club idea devoted to something
useful. A floor Is found large enough
to contain kitchen, dining room. read
ing and rest room. By close buying
and shrewd management it has been
found that for IL cents 1t is possible
to provide hot meat and vegetable
meal of the best quality. Delicious
bread rolls are q cent apiece, meat
sandwiches two for ); milk, tea, cof
fee or cocoa, cents; potatoes and rice,
cents EACH, and other dishes In pro-
portion. Such low prices are possible
because each luncher is her own wait
ress. All the food, kept steaming hot
and already divided into portions, Is
ranged around upon three sided
counter in large. light. clean aired
room. Each girl selects her own fare,
takes plate and napkin from a pile
near by. pays the cashier for what she
sits down and eats 1t.
For the privilege of dining room, rest
room and reading room each member
of the lunch club pays % cents
month. So popular are these business
women's lunch and rest clubs that al
one of them 1900 girls take their noon
meal, at another 1000. A month after
the first one was opened it had 600
members. The feeling of very own
ness, where they can neither be ogled
nor jostled, snubbed by walters nor
yet subjected to the torture Of being
forced to see crowds OF hungry men
feeding Ike dumb brutes, is infinitely
| comforting.
