JUDGE ASKS FOR ASSISTANCE
Dressmaking Case Too Much for the

dressmaking or have a lady expert at

yesterday at Clerkenwell court. after
deciding a case which would have taxed
the ingenuity of Solomon.

the making of a dark costume, and that
she had spoiled it.

this sort Of business is too much for

THE WOMAN WHO WORKS

Working Women Much Happier Than
Those of Leisure.
The woman who had been toiling all
day for her daily bread dropped In
for a little chat with the woman who
did nothing for a living. The latter
looked at the business woman little
enviously. DO you know" she said,
Il envy you working women a great
deal You are much happier than the
woman of leisure. Your daily STINT
which must be done whether you feel
Hike 1t or not, Is blessing to you.
often wish that were obliged to rise
every morning at certain hour and
work hard at something all day"
Now, just stop your envying," said
the working woman. Just think of
your immense opportunity for self
Improvement. That Is the one thing
envy you women of leisure. Not
many of you grasp that opportunity,
however. A working woman cannot
acquire all the charming little graces
when she must devote her entire day
to solid work, work which is often irk-
some. but which brings in the dollars
she cannot live without. How can she
gain any knowledge Of the arts when
her leisure moments must be spent in
gaining strength for the toll of the
next day?
THE woman of leisure may study
music and understand 1t, although she
may not be a musician. She may
study enough Of art to appreciate the
beautiful and wonderful in pictures
and architecture. If she have limit
ed vocabulary she may improve 1t by
reading the proper books. She has
time to think about what she reads
and OF get the best out of literature.
'She may make her housekeeping
ideal. for she has leisure to study
how to make her home most attrac-
tive. She may furnish her rooms with
care and almost regardless of expense,
and she may put the household ma
chinery in such shape that its run
ming will be noiseless and with COM
paratively little friction. She has
time to do all the fine artistic bits of
sewing and embroidery.
Then there are all those little
acts of politeness. the little attentions
which gain popularity for her. The
many notes which must be written she
may write promptly and graciously,
and she has ample opportunity to
think Of others than herself. 1t is for
these things that the working woman
enyies the woman of leisure"
And the woman who did nothing for
a living resolved to turn over a new
leaf and grasp some of the opportuni-
ties which her working friend had
pointed out to her.-New York Times.

RATIFIED PANAMA TREATY.
Wild Hurrying of Democrats to Cover
When They Heard from
the People.

The democratic party in congress
started out TO fight the treaty with
Panama because IL was negotiated by a
republican administration. But when
the democratic leaders heard from
their constituencies, and found that the
people were enthusiastically in favor
OF the Panama canal and of all steps
necessary TO make the BIG channel n
reailty' there was n hurryng to cover.
says the Troy Times When the vote
was finally taken. much earlier than
was expected the issue could be
reached, only II democrats were found
VINO placed themselves in opposition to
the bill. Thus the democratic party in
the senate conceded that the treaty of
fered By the republican party to the
nation was wise and desirable
II is discouraging TO a party which
needs so badly an issue for its cam
paign this year that when an expected
opportunity presents itself the people
OF the country should force that party
itself TO get into line with national
sentiment. The suggestion which has
been made in a humorous way
that The Democrats have no campaign
this year but ratify the republican
platform. is not bad one, because the
different clements which will make up
that platform are being ratified one
by one in the progress of events and no
hand is raised against them with any
prospect OF success.
The final approval of the treaty
with Panama assures prompt and per
sistcnt activity in the construction of
the canal. The building of this inter
oceanic highway will be one of the
great events in the worlds history. II
will have clvilizing influence on man
kind. and il will be a certain and just
reward to the United States that in
facilitating the intercourse Of the
worlds people much OF the resulting
advantage will come TO enterprising
and sagacious America, which under
the able ard progressive guidance OF
the republican party has brought what
Senator HOar called "the dream of cen
turtles" TO a wideawake realization.
