Just For Women
Life, Death and Love

A WOMAN lay with closed eyes and
~ quiet breath waiting TO welcome
4 n an angel whose presence seemed
to overshadow the white-curtained room.
A man knea beside the bed. the woman's
hand pressed Cose in his against his check
while his lips moved as if in prayer.
In the room were life, death and love.
what have you given her?" questioned
death Of life.
Il brought her my best gifts" answered
life: Youth, health. beauty, JOY and
love"
HAS love brought her good gifts?"
again asked death.
Said love with wistfui eyes, II brought
her brave, bright hours, sunshine and
laughter, happiness and glory in living,
and then a heavy cross. The sunshine she
shed all about her even with the fading OF
Lies glory; the cross hidden deep in her
soul cast out self and made a new radiance
and beauty there"
LET her come to me-" said Death. Life
had much to give. but peace and rest are
not for Life to bestow. Love would give
all. but must reckon with the human heart
will crown and glorify and bless her.
Life fed from the quiet room with a
sigh and one whispered, tender word; bui
love fingered. brave even in the full pres
ence of dssth.
.swhat OF him?" said Love, pointing &c
the kreeling figure
'.He made the CROSSE" death asked.
''Yes." said love. weeping.
1--WE must teach him." said death, "wha'
he could not learn from life."-L. NJ. S.

Nursery Hints

Open fires are better than stoves in a
nursery, as stoves dry the atmosphere too
much.
bit OF butter will stop a childs
coughing when other remedies fail. Mix
with a little sugar If distasteful.
As a broad rule. tea ought not TO be
given to children. Tea is a very poor food
Cocoa is in every way more satisfactory.
When child's teeth are overcrowded
or irregular a dentist should be visited
In thia matter there ought to be no de-
lay.
Young infants should not be given In
dian meal. For children over one year
It is 2 fattcning and safe food. Coarsely
ground maize boiled in milk viii work
woAlers with puny, III nourished child
4 good lotion for regular employment.
with the Wow Of preventing the eye
troubles 50 common in infants, consists OF
boiling water containing five grains Of
boric acid in each ounce. It IS to be used
either tepid or cold.

NNor a summer living room there is

White glace silk will stand plenty of
cleaning and judicious washing. and is
an economical material FOR petticoats
to be worn under white gowns.
Some novel color effects are pro-
duced in evening gowns by placing one
color over another. Pink, gold and
blue produce a delightful nuance, and
there are many others, deep purple
shading up to the palest mauve, for in
stance, or brown to flame color.
The crash linen petticoat is a Paris
ian novelty of the season. It is trimmed
with linen Cluny lace, which forms an
elaborate and effective border 1t is
certainly much more suitable than the
silk petticoat when the streets are
running mud, and it viii stand any
number of trips to the washtub.
A black taffeta gown. with two
bodices-one for the daytime and one
for evenings said TO be the most
economical gown that the woman of
limited means can secure.
A dainty kimona to slip on during the
hot hours of the day is essential to the
woman who wishes to combine comfort
and taste. Kimonas may easily be
made at home, but is seems scarcely
necessary to take the trouble. now that
the summer sales are on in the shops.

in which King Monopoly seeks to en-
slave Liberty and America. The book
is called His Pseudoic Majesty" and
will be brought out this summer by
the Liberty Publishing Company
Readers Of advance pages say that the
perils Of caste spirit, gold worship and
monopoly are not presented in academ-
ic argument. but in the spirit of a
farce and compel laughter rather than
any other emotion. Yet the book leaves
in the mind a definite feeling that His
Pseudoic Majesty has to be dealt with
by the American people.

One, "The Winning of Millicents

LAUNCH IS RUN DOWN
EIGHT MEMBERS OF THE PLEAS URE PARTY LOSE THEIR LIVES.
Tn the Darkness, Delaware Steamer Co., lumbia Crashes Into Small Craft With Terrible
 Results.

Philadelphia. Sept. 1.-The Delaware steamer Columbia, on its way to Bris- tol Pa, tonight crashed Into a steam launch about ten miles north of here. grinding 1t to pieces and causing the drowning of eight of the dozen occu- pants of the small boat. All of the party were from Philadelphia. 4
 The dead: Joseph Fortesque. ownee of the launch, Wade Auday, Thomas Duffey, Thomas Corvesci, Anna Young. Joseph Pfromer. Mrs. Joseph Pfromer. Engineer James Briggs.
 The accident was the tragic ending of a days pleasure up the river. The return trip was begun after nightfall, the pilot of the boat keeping close to the Pennsylvania shore on the run down the river. When a point was reached near Andalusia. the Columbia sudden ly loomed up in the darkness. For tesuue damned his wheel to starboard but was just a moment too late. The big steamer struck the launch squarely in the middle and cut in half. throw ing all the occupants into the water.
 A terrible shriek went up as the boats struck. which almost caused a panic among the passengers on the Co., Iumbia. Dozens of life preservers were thrown overheard to those in the water and A boat was quickly lowered. When the row boat reached the spot only four persons could be found in the darkness.
 II Is believed that several of the vic- tims were crushed by the paddle wheels on the Columbia.
