In the earl. days of the sulfragist
movement NJ; Susan Il. Anthony had
no more hit.rr opponent than Horace
Greeley. s.tys writer in the Boston
Transcript II was for Il long time his
custom to wind up all debates with
the conclusive remark. The best wo-
men know do not want to vote
When the New York constitution was
being altered in 1861 Miss Anthony
laid a train for him. She wrote TO
Mrs. Greeley and persuaded the ed
itors wife not only to sign a petition
for woman'S suffrage herself, but to
circulate the paper and get 300 sigma
lures among her acquaintances. In the
committee Mr.. Greeley, who was chair
man. had listened 10 the debate and
prepared to introduce to the conven-
ton an adverse report lie was just
about To utter his usual settler when
George William Curtis rose.
"Mr. Chairman" said he. Il hold in

hardly be controlled. He had found
at least one Of the best women l

THE PARLOR.
II Is Rapidly Becoming an Apartment
of the Past.


The American parlor is a thing of the
past, according to architects, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. No more will
there be a room reserved for state oc-
caSions, such as the receiving of form
nj calls, the visit of the minister and
for weddings and for funerals.
I'VE never take the parlOr into con
sidcration any more" said a Cleveland
architect recently. The parlor is
merged into the living room. The good
old fashioned parlor, which was held
in so much reverence in the old days,
has no place in modern architecture.
The demand is for n large living
room in a small house, together with
dining room and kitchen. In larger
house there is usually Il large living
room. library, 'den,' dining room and
kitchen.
Il had a client yesterday who desired
to have Il reception room or parlor not
connected with the living room. He
decided later to have sort of recep-
ton room in connection with the hall
way.
when the parlOr idea began to lose
ground we did not make a radical
change. but reduced the parlor to
small reception room, isolated from the
others, where formal calls could be re-
ceiyed. Now we make no provision
for the parlor.
In these days the reception rooms
do not have to be closed only to be
opened on the occasion of the visit OF
the family minister or the physician"
There may be many who will regret
the passing of the old fashioned coun-
try parlor, with all its memories of Wis
itors. courtship and occasions which
left impressions which have not been
eradicated by the strenuous age of to-

BUNDLE HANOKERCHlEFS.
Introduced Into New England by the
Salem Sea Captains.


Housewives of today would not know
what was meant by the bundle hand
kerchief, yet 100 years ago the woman
who did not have pile of them neatly
folded and ironed and laid away in
smooth piles in n drawer of one or the
caDaclous closets which were then
built into houses was considered poor
housekeeper The bundle handkerchief
was first introduced by the Salem sea
CAPTAINS. 1t was brought from abroad
with choice things, such as sandalwood
fans. guava jelly and amber beads.
Those imported were the white india
silk and were used to tie around the
best cap box when ladies went out to
spend the afternoon. Those OF home
make were of squares of calico or mus
lin and used for everyday bundles.
When ladies went visiting to other
towns their piles of dainty, handmade
undcrware were wrapped In fine lawn
or linen handk erchiefs sweet with Law
ender and orris. \ new gown always
came home from the dressmaker's care
fully pinned In a thin, worn and much
nsed madras handkerchief.
No Salem infant was considered to
have been properly introduced to So
ciety till it had dangled in a bundle
handkerchief from n pair of steelyard
scales.
When the servants went to the bak-
cry they carried couple Of coarse blue
checked bundle handkerchiefs, and In
one was wrapped the pot of beans, and
in the other was wrapped the brown
bread.

SAINT OF THE COOKS.
Queen of the Culinary Art Wh'
Lived In Genoa.

A Queen of the Culinary Art who
Lived In Genoa.
Santa Zita, as the patron saint Of the
cooks is named, lived, it appears, at
Genoa and was there canoniZed She
could, so runs the legend, cook better
than any chef within 800 miles of the
town, which, we all know, is noted for
It's wonderful soups and dumplings,
though of course In the latter indi-
gestible article of food outrivaled by
Vienna, since 1t is one of the chief ar
ticles in the religion of gastronomy
that it is only in the kaserstadt that
the "glose" is In perfection. Santa
Zita was, 1t seems, not less famous for
her plety than for cooking and was a
constant attendant at the cathedral
during high mass.
One day, however, she fell into q
trance, so called though, in plain Eng
llsh, a good, sound sleep-and quite
forgot that she had to produce an ex-
ceptionally fine dinner for large com
pany. On awakening she hurried forth
from the sacred edifice in way which
was far indeed from her wont, but on
reaching the kitchen what was her
surprise and delight to find a party Of
cherub cclcstials busy cooking the re
quired dinner. She did not interfere
but was at first not unwilling to accept
the praise which was lavishcd on her
culinary success. She soon repentei
however, and told the world the truth
about the spiritual and miraculous help
she had received, and It was agreed on
all sides that she deserved TO be canon
lied Accordingly she became Santa
Zita, London Queen.

HANDLING MONEY.
Ii Is No Temptation to the Seasoned
Bnnk Teller.

Money? Don't the sight of so much
of it make me hungry for 1t? Not at
all TO tell the truth, 1t is like so much
mud to me"
Thus spoke teller in Denver bank.
He was talking TO a young man out
side the cage. On the counter were
heaped piles Of gold and silver coin
and punches Of paper money.
I'm sure | couldn't stand the con
stant temptation to appropriate it for
my own use" said the man outside.
Yes, you could" replied the teller.
you could easily after being in here
week. For the first few days the
money would look pretty good to you,
and you'd have to use your will power
to keep away from it, but after week
or so It doesn't seem like money. 1t
seems like merely an article you deal
IN, just as potatoes seem to the grocer.
There isn't sixty dollar a month bank
clerk in a thousand who thinks Of
stealing the money he handles unless
he is in debt and is being crowded for
funds. To the bank employee who has
his debts paid and has enough to keep
from thinking of an urgent need for
cash money has no value. Handling
money is just like eating to a teller.
AS long as he has enough food In his
stomach he has no desire for more
and even a big, fine, juicy steak has
no temptation for him. But let him
get good and hungry, and he'll covet
that steak. The only way for a man
who handles money in a bank to be
free from the temptation to appropri-
ate it is to keep out of debt and not
develop any urgent and expensive am
bitions."-Denver Post.
