A Sequel to the Article on Education
as Factor in Promoting Social
Purity Presented at the Mothers
and Teachers Club, Honolulu, June
9Th, by Miss Elsner.
Friends: The hoped-for talk from

cured, and we must content ourselves
for the present to work on lines al
ready begun, and perhaps formulate
more definite working plans for the
future.
Since presenting the subject to you
few weeks ago, a vast deal of infor-
nation has been forthcoming; men, as
well as women, have shown most whole
some interest, but with few exceptions,
undisguised, woeful ignorance, having
no idea whatever as to the material
this ''purity literature" represents,
nor showing confidence in their indi-
vidual powers to handle the subject in
regard to their children.
This all goes to show how urgent
was the need of the very steps we

The need being so general, it is nee
essary for US to devise effective means
whereby a larger percentage of the
public can be offered the opportunity
of gaining an insight into these
"purity" teachings.
Originally the plan was to circulate
these books among the schools only,
with the view of their being a special
help to young teachers, referring the
general enquirer to the public library;
but there being no question as to the
chief responsibility resting with the
narents. it seems wise to utilize the
vacation period for the purpose of III

ideals childhood holds. Sometimes an
ticipation of their query seems advis-
able; at any rate. we should never risk
having a child gain information pro
miscuously. nor should there be indis-
eliminate conversation on kindred sub
jects in its presence, even after 1t has
been informed. This subject must never
be harped upon, and the confidence be-
tween parent and child should be held
absolutely sacred.
These precious ideals of childhood
should be treasured most carefully,
and not the faintest suggestion of
coarseness or vulgarism should ever
find expression n their presence. Their
fresh. impressionable souls respond so
readily to all that is beautiful and true
that it becomes one of the greatest
blessings man is heir to, to see him
self reelected and reiuvenated in this
supernal radiance of simple faith and
trust of the child. Fathers are often
more backward than mothers in meet
ing the inevitable ordeal with their
maturing sons. and will welcome this
assistance of chow to handle the
subject. as much as the mothers, and
no doubt Will be equally delicate and
jjudicious in its use.
Nothing can be more ennohling or
more purifying than these thoughts
rightly presented. but every parent
should become thoroughly acquainted
with the substance first. and then await
the most opportune moment for trans
mittance of the same. 1t would be
weakness, indeed. for them TO force an
opportunity, or thrust the volume of
sacred knowledge into their hands,

priving themselves of the greatest JOY

usefulness which we are willing to
share with them for limited period,
until they are convinced as TO its ma
ture and merits, when they viii surely
join us.
One plan to get the best possible
good out of limited supply during
a short period is for number of per-
sons livin 1t close range to meet,
bring their sowing or fancy work, and
have one member read to them; the
time is profitably spent, and the mu-
tual exchange of sympathies which
naturally follows viii quickly decide
the usefulness of the above spoken of
"purity' ideas, which are supposed
to be the reading material for those
occasions.
SERIOUS STUMBLING BLOCK.
One serious, yes the most serious,
stumbling block we have to contend
with in regard to this literature is its
misuse. Everyone understanding the
import of these teachings, and those
who will be in charge of the books,
should be most particular in caution
inc adults against the practice of per
hitting a child to read these books
for amusement, which should never be
done; nor should a book ever be given
into his hands, the contents of which
they themselves are not acquainted
with. There are those who think, be-
cause right-minded persons advocate
their use, the more of such matter they
read and force upon their children the
better. Far be 1t from that; we can
not be too cautious. The child should
be kept as free from the burden of
self-consciousness as possible, but when
u question pertaining TO life arises.

simple, truthful manner, always mani

How to Acquire POise.

Did you ever try the little mental
science trick Of walking along with an
imaginary star upon your chest and an
imaginary basket Of eggs upon your
head? know Of no better way to &C
quire perAct pose than this. Simply
fancy that the star upon the center Of
your chest is a real, scintillating thing,
and you will find yourself carrying
your shoulders like a military man
bent upon exhibiting his gold buttons.
They say that desire to display his
gold buttons, after all, has more to do
with the West Point cadets perfect
carriage than any other one thing.
When you are about to sit down re-
member that you stii. carry that bas-
ket of eggs upon your head, and you
will find yourself sinking gently and
gracefully into your chair instead Of
Just hunchmg into it. The same little
bit of mental science will work won
ders in the matter Of climbing stairs.
One cannot twist or bend over or do
any of the other hideous things women
usually do upon flight Of stairs-with
basket Of eggs upon her head.
These rules are the best Of new
system of beauty culture which has
become popular of late. -.

1t is very necessary to proportion the
quantity Of water to the amount of
meat In soup making. A scant quart
Of water to pound Of meat is a good
rule, and for rich soup still less wa

If possible, soup should be prepared
entirely from fresh lean meat, or il

sized piece of raw meat should be used
with it,
Cold ham is sometimes used for

Long, slow and steady boiling is a
necessity, and it should be 50 regu-
lated that the soup pot will not re-
quire replenishing. If additional water
is added see that it Is boiling hot or
the soup will be spoiled. Remember,
if meat is boiled too fast it toughens
and will not exude it's juice.

Greer,
Disciplinarian
By Ethel Darlington
Copyright, 1905, by Ethel Barringto

Roxana's dog was an Ill conditioned
brute He was surly bull pup that
had never met his master and delight
ed in making it most uncomfortable
for those who sought Roxana's COM
pany. He was not often docile, even
with her, but she was so proud OF his
blue ribbon and ugliness that she en-
deavored to hide his delinquencies.
Nevertheless, there were times when
she would not have gone near him for
the world.
One day he snarled at her before
Goddard Greer, and that was the be-
ginning Of trouble. Greer was a col
lege bred athlete who feared nothing
on earth except perhaps Roxana. En-
ragged. he seized the mckless prize win
ner by the collar and bore him to the
hallway, where he administered a
strong argument, after which he turn
ed the amazed animal loose down the
back stairs. Goddard returned to the
parlor, arranging his cuffs, but other
wise as usual. He stopped short as he
faced ROxana, who looked like an out
ragged empress.
"a truly fine performance" she de-
clared scathingly. 'There is your ring
never wish to see you again."
whats up? l don't understand
eff you think you can abuse my dog
or any animal and keep my regard
you are greatly in error 1t is fortu-
nate / discovered your true character
before it was too late"
An amused twinkle lighted Greer's
eyes. "DO you think if 1 let a dog
snarl and snap at you I'd be better
fitted to take care of you? The beast
has been hunting trouble. Come, don't
let us quarrel
Il shall never quarrel with you
again." asserted Roxana sternly, as
though depriving him of some pleasant
pastime. Cant you accept hint that
wish to be alone"
Greer stood his ground. He tried tc
laugh, but not very successfully.
Come, Roxie, forgive me. You
know the old proverb: "A dog, a wo
man and a walnut tree The more
they be beaten the better they be-"
| Roxana's eyes blazed as though she
already felt the suggested chastise
ment. "Oh, is that your theory? Well
I decline to be the woman And she
left him to mediate on the ingratitude
of womankind. They had Quarreled
before, but never with what appeared
to be such f1nality When Greer called
again Roxana was not at home. He
wrote, and his letter was returned I'M

10 notifies, but she has very firm ideas
as 70 the part women should play in
affairs of state.
IF men cannot properly govern the
people, what can they do?" she asks.
There is other work which cannot be
performed by men that women must
do"
Thus far in the practice of law Miss
Knowlton has shown that she is not an
attorney in name only. 1t had been her
intention when admitted to devote her
self principally to probate matters, but
her sphere soon broadened into general
court practice.
Miss knowton has an aversion to
criminal cases, although she would not
shrink from fulfilling the obligations
imposed upon her when she took the
oath Of lawyer.

cided not to await Mr.. Winnings de-

to escort her home

she declared.
"But, dear. it's nearly 10. Phil can't
be long now" urged her hostess. But
R0xana was obdurate.
"No, shall be all right"
There seemed to be q delay on the
line, for she had stood at the corner
Without looking she knew it was God
dard Greer. She was incensed. Had
he followed her? Would he have the
presumption to ride on the same car?
AS the headlight shot into sight she de-
cided to wait for another car rather
than risk his unwelcome proximity.
Greer glanced inquiringly at her, but
seeing that she made no move he like
wise retained his position on the curb
ing. Roxana tapped her foot impa-
tiently. 1t was absurd! Why had he
not taken his car? When the next car
appeared, as one Of them muss make
q move, Roxana hailed the motorman,
mounted the step and took her seat.
From beneath her lowered lids she saw
Greer standing sentinel on the plat
form. The car was empty, with the
exception of a negro, and Roxana had
travelled several blocks before the con-
ductor came to collect her fare.
She opened her purse and looked hur-
riedly from one compartment to an
other 1t was empty. Evidently she
had spent every penny during the shop
ping expedition. But there remained
her wrist bag, into which she frequent
ly dropped small change. The conduct
or went forward to speak to the mo-
torman. RoXana pursued the search.
In vain she emptied out her belongings
from the satchel She found no coin.
Then she unfastened her coat. Surely
in the change pocket she would find a
nickel. But the pocket was as bare as
Mother Hubbard'S cupboard. The con-
ductor returned. RoXana was fright
ened 1t was late, and she had quite a
trip before her.
Il seem to have no change" she
commenced nervously.
ALLOW me-" Greer handed the fare
to the official, who looked questioningly
at Roxana.
NO. I'll get off! Please stop!' she
decided promptly. Not for worlds
would she accept assistance from
Greer. She had dismissed him. He had
no right to intrude in any way.
Heroically Roxana left the car and
walked north. She had never been alone
On the street 50 late, and, remembering
the distance, the darkness and the lone
liness Of the blocks, she was really
alarmed. She did not fear the pedestri-
ans she met as much as those who
overlook her. She dreaded the sound
of footsteps behind. conjuring up all
sorts Of horrors. AS she hurried up the

other did the same. 1t frightened her,
and she became GREATNESS. With the
passing minutes her terror gained. She
began to run. Then the dread became q
certainty. The other one would soon
overtake her. What If that negro had
seen her gold purse?
Across the avenue she saw an alley.
She had heard that thieves often evad-
ed arrest by disappearing in the dark
ness of such places If she cut through
might not she, too, escape? Desperate,
half hysterical, ROxana made sudden
rush across the road. A trolley grazed
her shoulder, the motorman cursed as
he reversed the lever. Terrified, she
had all but reached the desired shelter
when a strong hand grasped her sud-
denly by the arm. She tried to scream,
but no sound came. Lifting her eyes,
her glance met Greer's, looking stern
~ ut her.
II guess that will do for one night, "
he remarked coldly. "Come over to the
drug store while 1 phone for a cab"
Completely unnerved, Roxana fol-
lowed The reaction had been sudden.
She tried to remember what they had
quarreled about, but could only feel
relief In his presence. Greer ordered
the cab, then went outside to wait
Gomez he commanded tersely on it's
arrival.
Gratefully Roxana obeyed. Then as
he was about to close the door she
found her voice. Don't leave me-"
1--WE no intention of doing So" And
he mounted by the driver. When they
reached her home Roxana's eyes were
suspiciously red.
"Well?" said Greer The bull pup
shifted respectfully at his boots. Greer
stopped and patted him on the head.

"Then it's mistress can do no less -
she admitted.

"Of course not" he agreed promptly
Then, as his arms frightened about
