- The Child-Labor Problem. /.

After all that has been said in just
depreciation of child labor, il is encour-
aging 10 learn, from a recent labor bu-
reau bulletin, that the conditions In
this respect are not so bad as many
have been led TO believe. According
TO this showing there are employed In
the productive industries OF the coun-
tries f,7j2,1ST children under sixteen
years Of age, while on the farms and
IN agricultural pursuits generally this
number is greatly exceeded. and chill
dren working on farms and in gardens
form about sixty per cent. Of the total
number engaged in remuneratiye en-
p!oyment. This does not mean that the
agitation against child labor in factor
les has been needless and ineffective,
but the information is important in in
dicat!ng that abuses Of this sort are
not so widespread and formidable that
they may not be overcome In the near
future by proper laws and the force Of
enlightened public sentiment.-Leslic's

UNIQUE COLLAR BOX.

Another useful present is the collar
box. A new style has a tiny box set
in the middle of the top, for the rccep-
tion of collar buttons and cuft links.
To make one, cover a wide band OF
paste-board with silk and sew the
edges together Make a smaller band
in the same fashion and then cut n cir
Gle Of cardboard to st the bottom OF the
larger band. cover that and sew the
smaller band to the centre OF the bot
tom, and the larger one TO the edges.
The collars fit around one and the cuffs
around the other circle. The card
board must be stlff enough 10 keep its
shape.
A lid is made by cutting n circle n
shade larger than the bottom, covering
that and a narrow band TO sew around
its lower edge, and then sinking n
small round or square box in the mid
die. A small cover for this is made
ana sewed in one spot and tied with
a bow, which forms hinge. and lit
tie brass knob, or fancy button. tied
with a bow, forms a handle to the top.

sibly, this advancement has something
10 do with the lack OF home ties which
is becoming more prevalent every day.
Men, too. in these days, are heart and
soul in their different occupations, ana
the cause might be attributed 10 their
love OF other places outside OF the hre-
side.
Were the women OF ilfty years ago
ideal wives: Were they the pink or
perfection in every conceivable way a
man might mentions To be sure,
some have said so, some who should
know, but would that sort OF a woman

Women Of today are capable in any
emergency. They have been allowed
the privilege OF knowing what the
world is doing. and, although they
have advanced far beyond what was
expected. why are they not considered
as good and faithful wives as those Of
years sgo? Perhaps il is true that the
self.denying female is not in such
strong evidence as formerly, but why
should she be? Is she not entitled TO
as much consideration as men, and IL
there any plausible reason why she
must give up all of ,he good she gets
from this earth for tho sake OF man?
The wife OF to-day is helpmate for
her husband-a something he could not
do without. She Is often the means OF
saving severe trouble through her
forethought, which few men possess

This craze for greens has partly
