NEW FIELD FOR
WOMAN'S WORK

In the course of an excellent article on
Literary Club Women" Helen NJ
WinslOw tells of a new field of work
for women who may, by their observa-
ton of the events in this passing world.
help others whose lives are too busily
engaged to give such matters the con-
sideration they require.
Among other things Miss Winslow
says:
THE attention given by the women's
clubs to literature, both ancient and
modern, has opened up n new avenue of
employment TO educated womanhood.
Scores of women today are earning a
good deal of money as well as glory by
teaching literature and current event
classes. The requisites for this work
are, of course, a thorough education

in their ranks many names of we'll

Miss WinsloW goes on TO say that the
club women who are distinguishing
themselves as teachers of literature and
lecturers are not only club members,
but many have successfully filled the
office Of president or other important
club roles. In conclusion she says:
ITO WELD the pen and the gaVel at

II is sometimes possible to grow sweet

aspect.
Some people have had great success
with seeds by soaking them in hot
water and allowing them to remain IN

hours. This process hastens germiGa-
ton.
The Washington times., 1904-05-07

A woman who has had good success
with her boxes for many a year, and
VINO. occupying an entire city house,
has found what plants grow well in all
aspects and what is the best method
for them.
Any plants other than geraniums
should be grown in boxes about nine
inches deep and some ten inches wide.
Good black soil should be used. mixed
literally with a good fertilizer. Seeds
ana plants should be purchased from a
reliable seed man, otherwise they have
a peculiar habit of not coming up,
and every evening in summer the plants
should be literally watered. not mere.
ly sprinkled, but well drenched
Supposing it should be decided to have
six window gardens. two looking to-
ward the east and four toward the
south; then. in one of the two eastern
windows may be grown verbenas, morn

Where Clothes Are
Brushed and Aired

Anyone having a house. not a fiat,
should arrange a roof garden for the
airing and brushing of clothes as well as
bedding. 1--WE have such a place and
could not keep house properly without
it," says clever little housewife.
"A window opening onto the roof of
q wing in the rear Of the house was cut
down, making a French window with
double sash doors.
I'VE then put up poles at the corners
of the wing roof and hooks on the main
building and from these we stretch
vines enough to prevent even long
dresses from touching the roof
''Furs and bedding are aired here and
all garments brushed; even rugs are
cleaned here. The practice OF brushing
clothing inside the house cannot be too
strongly condemned. therefore a house
wife's roof garden is recommended.

In the last section Of the time take
the easy chair again and review what
has been read. Then. when one goes
about ones work, there is something
which viii fructify and keep up a men
tai activity which cannot fail TO prevent
a growing apart.
1t is not possible for all women to do
as did Margaret Ogilvie'-who was
really Mr.. Barrie's mother-who grew in
wisdom as did her son, keeping a little
ahead of him in all his studies in school
and college; but 1t is possible for them
to hear with their ears and see with
their eyes-at any rate for loves sake.

q d Observations of Peggy D. I

Perhaps one of the saddest things
that come up to mar the completeness
OF married life is the growing apart
mentally Of the unhappy couple II Is
far more heartrending than any 9th ~
form of 'apartness." In the case of the
two caring less for each other, there
is the consolation In the minds of both
that what seemed to be the best thing
in life was a simple phantom; thar
they never possessed the real thing. and
that, therefore, each is bereft Of moth
ing, having possessed nothing.
When the two are apart on religious
lines the one who is a church member
has also the consolation of hope and
effort TO bring the other into the fold.
and the very effort expended ripens ard
broadens the character of both.
The religious one by his or her Fery
effort lives a more scrupulOus life, and
as all mental effort impercepubly ana
often insidiOusly creates third pr1ncl-
Die about the one upon whom the
Thought is being operated, the other is
ihsensibly attracted, even II the object
wished for is not attained in the way
the wisher intended.
With those who are growing apart on
the mental plane. however. there is no

that survives the once absolute plane
causes more intense suffering by its
presence. 1t is like the thought in Long
fellows ''Driftwood:"
1.-The first sad yearnings of the heart
Which words are powerless to express,
And leave them still unsald in part
Or say them in too great excess.
One starts in with the feeling that
there is something lacking. The one
that has fallen behind is as considerats,
as loving as true and faithful as dear
as ever. but there is an indescribable
something that Is gone. One never will
admit TO himself or herself that there Is
this difference. but ones inner con-
sciousness gives the lie to the loyalty
Of the mind. which stoutly declares that
there is something missing.
Unfortunately the very state Of society
is such that in many cases It is the
woman who thus suffers by comparison.
Her home life has been so full of duties
that seem imperative. her time has been
taken up in washing dishes while the
husband reads the paper, a magazine,
or some book. that before she had a
time to exercise her mind in other than

late in the evening and time to take
labors. Thus it goes from day to day.
and the mental gap widens.
Such things should not be allowed.
On the one hand there is the work to
be done. The house must be Kept tidy
Man in general is such a gIegarious
animal that the home must be attrac-
tive to keep him satisfied The woman
must be neat, and when all the work
l. done, twenty-fOurs hours is not too
long a day 10 accomplish the work.
Shall that be allowed TO go?
Some one. whose opinion is unim-
peached, once said that the life was
more than meat, and the body thea
IaIment There is no life on this pres
ent physical plano more high than the
mental What must be done to keep
the husband and wife absolute unit

lie doubt that there would be more
time for mental recreation But time
or rot few minutes snatched 1ror1
the middle of the day would not put
things back to any considerable extent
At noon time take one-half hour for
this exercise, if no more can be spared.
Divide this time into three sections Of
ten minutes each. From the hour Of
noon till ten minutes past, lie back In
an easy chair and, with the muscles OF
the body all relaxed, empty the mind
as nearly as possible. Rest in this fash
ion for the whole first section OF the
time Then sit in d straight chair and
read. Take something light az first, run
over the daily paper for a few minutes,
and for the last five of the second sec
ton take up something worthy the name
of a book.

81 RiKE WILL INTERFERE
WITH NEW YORK SCHOOL

New York. Aug. 1.-THE building
trades strike which at the present
lime involves over forty thousand
men, still continues, but there is suai
clcnt evidence to warrant the predic
t.un that the differences between the
employers and the unions will soon
be amicably adjusted. There is not
much enthusiasm among the men who
were locked out and many of them
would gladly go back to work. if they
only dared. Several unions tnat had
been ordered out. like the electric
workers, etc, have refused to obey
/ the orders Of the leaders and nave de.
cjted to return TO work. It is conf
dently expected That soon other un-
ions will follow their example.
The most aggrevating features of
The LOCKOUT are the delay in the com
plction of the subway and the preven-
ton OF the erection of much needed
schoolhouses. 1t is estimated that
over twenty thousand school children
/ viii be deprived of their privilege to
j attend school next fall owing to the
lack of school buildings. Over six
million dollars are available for the
erection Of new school houses, but ow
ing to the lockout nothing can be
done, unless some arrangement is
made to exempt school buildings from
the operations of the lockout. Acting
Mayor Charles v Fornes is very anx
! icus to bring about some compromise
between the allied building trades
and the employers that will make il
POI sible to push the erection OF the
much needed school houses.
