Suggestions for Morality.

The good people comprising the w.
c. T. U. have been in session again,
and adopted certain resolutions. That
the purpose OF these women is an ear
nest desire to do good there viii De
no question. That they weaken an
influence generally benign, by wan
dering into fields where there is no
mission for them to perform, there is
no question, either.
The resolutions Just made Of record
are against the use Of champagne
in the christening Of warships, against
all patent medicines, and against
worlds fairs. The statement that
this use of champagne has "debased
the standard of womanhood," is
much to be deplored, for it fails to
rise above the plane Of Stiffness, and
gives a wrong idea of the personnel
Of the organization. Certainly this
personnel is intelligent, and does not
treat itself with. courtesy when it
creates a contrary impression.
The christening Of warships is a
custom dear 20 the sailor. and up
held by tradition. II does no harm IN
any possible way, unless to the feel
ings of the abnormally developed con-
science that discerns a wicked pleas
ure in anything enjoyed by anybody
else. The wine running into the sea,
even a whole quart, viii not corrupt
the sea beyond the point at which IL
will be fit for bathing purposes. And
the ladies must remember that sea-
water is not acceptable as a beverage
even though ennobled by the pres
ence Of one quart OF champagne to
the aggregate oceans, Their seuti-
ment is nothing but a prejudice, anC
the expression of il unworthy the
mental status Of the militant body OF
reform.
Patent medicines may be good or
may be bad. If the ladies can diff
ferentiate the two sorts, and set forth
the result, with chemical eorrobora-
ton, their conclusions will be accept
able. Until then, the value OF these
conclusions must be regarded as an
unknowable quantity,
The worlds fair resolution is apart
form the questions that needed dis
cussion. such fairs are economic and
commercial They are not reforma-
tory agencies. it is true. but neither
is a railroad or a grocery.
However, there might have been a
resolution introduced and passed
with acclaim. which would have added
TO the respect felt for the W. c. T. T..
and vastly increased its influence.
1t would have read about this way:
Whereas we had been led to believe

But none Of the delegates seems TO
have thought of this.

AN OCTOBER LUNCHEON.
Handsome and Appropriate Decora-

From the Housekeeper.
The dining room should be gayly decor
ated with sprays of autumn leaves. II
possible, have a long table of polished
mahogany without a table cover used
for the luncheon. Let a long runner OF
ecru net over yellow be placed down
the middle of the table, two runners
crossing 1t across the table. Doilies of
net are used under the plates that do
not rest on the runners. In the center of
the table have pumpkin followed out
and polished to the shining point. Fill
this with bright red apples, oranges,
bananas and grapes.
Long streamers of red ribbon should
run from the chandelier to the fourteen
covers laid each ending in a little bow
which is tied about a large yellow chry-
santhemum, which, with spray of red
leaves, stands in a small, but long
necked glass at the right of each plate.
These bouquets are for the guests. The
name cards rest against these glasses.
They are cardboard autumn leaves, the
edges tinted with red and gold, the
guests name painted in gold letters in
the center. Bonbon boxes are the only
other ornamentation on the table. These
are home made and are not difficult of
construction, bearing out the idea of the
whole decoration. There are sprays Of
autumn leaves made from that ready
friend of the decorator, crepe paper.
Cut the paper a little larger than a
natural leaf, making the veins with the
aid of blunt instrument, care being
taken not to tear the paper. Each spray
should consist of three leaves fastened
to wire stems wound with brown crepe

Good Grounds for Confidence.
Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Granted that many of the stories cir
culated relative to renewed Industrial ac-
tivity have been given publicity for po-
Htical effect, there is still ample evidence
of the progress being made in those lines
to warrant the feeling of confidence every
where encountered. According to statis-
tics just issued by the American Fedora
ton of Labor out of more than 1000 local
unions reporting, the percentage of mem
bers out of employment In July was but
1.6 against 81 per cent a month earlier
and 3.3 per cent year ago. Coupled with
this comes the report of the New York
state department of labor showing that
at the close of July fewer men were re-
ported out of employment In New York
state than at the same time in either 1902
or 1908, with conditions better in every
line.

should be designed to lie fiat on the
table The other large one in each spray
should be In about the center of the
stem, the edges curled up over a small
paper covered box which fills the entire
leaf, only its edges curling over its top.
In this box rests the bonbons, which
should be yellow. The leaf sprays may
be either red or yellow, as fancy die
tates, or may be of both colors. A little
practice may be necessary TO make these
leaf sprays to perfection, but once ac-
complished the hand will find that with
a few deft twists, crepe paper, card
board, wire and paste, with the addition
of a bit of ingenuity can work wonders
in a decorative way for the table. Care
should be taken in curling the leaves,
