itors. but in small place. as on the Island. people gather at any hour of the day and watch with eager interest the handling of the trafic-the numer- ous little local calls that bring the whole island together to such an ex- tent that 1t seems like one village; the occasional connections that are made for the South Lighthouse, the New Light, or the governmental life saving stations; the incoming messages from merchants in the cities on the main land who can now to their own great advantage reach the vendors of fish, fowls or garden truck on the distant island. In summer when the hotels are thronged with visitors the natives note how frequently a prosperous looking business man rushes into the exchange and communicates with his office in New York or Chicago. The object les son of up-to-date dispatch is thus not lost. To start an exchange on so dist ant an island may at one time have seemed a dubious chance. but the az gressive Bell policy of extending ser vices wherever there is a Likelihood eventually of profitable traffic has jus tified itself.

But the island has practically been an- nexed-just as 1t is now proposed to lay telephone cable from Martha's Vineyard to Nantucket, thus bringing all the islands of the southern coast of New England into communication with the whole modern world of com merce and industry. About two-thirds of the population. or perhaps 1.400, on Block Island are engaged in fishing and the conditions of the fish industry are rapidly being modernized.

A Cool Customer.

The way in which women will fre- quently take up the time of tradesmen with no intention of purchasing is de- lightfully illustrated by story evi dencing the coolest bit of audacity on record. In picture sellers establish ment lady with her daughter asked If he had the engraving entitled When the Heart is Young" as she did not see it in the window. The dealer said he had it. The lady asked the price. and also asked to see. After some trou- ble it was produced. Thinking he had likely customer. the man expatiated on its merits. but the lady did not seem to pay much heed to his remarks. be- ing busy pointing out to her daughter that one of the characters in the pie ture wore her sleeves iu this manner, that tho hair was done up in that man ner and so forth. Then. remarking to the shopman that she did not want the print and that she merely wished to get the proper idea of what was needed for the dress of her daughter. who was to take part in a tableau vivant, she departed, leaving the man speeches..

 Because he had loved her a long time he hesitated about telling her. With the direct divination of a womans in- tuition. she surmised the truth. She was not selfish, narrow minded crea- ture, and though the foreshadowing sorrow hurt her cruelty, yet she desired earnestly to help the man. He had been trailing all about the subject for several moments, waiting the neces- sary courage. She took the matter in hand quite calmly.

 'Is it sure. this time?" her voice was low and even. There was not the slightest suggestion of a scene in the atmosphere. He pulled himself to- gether with jerk.

young woman who might have been miserable if she had lived half a century ago Is the woman with the large mouth. Then the smaller and more insipid woman's mouth the more beautiful it was considered. Nowadays painters. poets. illustrators and Ideal ists praise Ire large, expressive mouth.
 It is the expression which now makes 8 woman's mouth attractive, and the l1rger 1t is the more expression it may show. Every artist and every photo- grapher is striving to give to his pie lures of women the kiss" expression, which is an infinitely sweet haIf smile. Such an expression on a small mouth makes it look drawn and ugly, but on full, ampls lips 1t is extremely attrac- tive. Therefore. the large mouthed girl may smile and be happy, for she, too, is the girl of the moment.

 4 Correspondence Club affords a good deal of suggestion and satisfaction to its members. knew such club some years ago. It was composed of seven girls, not one of whom had ever seen any Of the others. They made ac- quafntance through me because I was then writing stories for girls which in- terested each of these widely separated correspondents. One wrote from Bra gil, one from Syria. another from Bonn bay, still another from Berlin, and the remaining three from different parts of the United States. The seven sent me their letters and I forwarded them in a sort of Round Robin style, until everyone had read what the others wrote. You have little idea of the amount of information and of fasci- hating interest such a club can con- vey.
 A girls club does not require much red tape. You will need treasurer if you have anything for which money will be required. If. for example. your club does any work for the poor or en- gages at all in charity. you must have small weekly or monthly dues, and these you should take out of your own personal allowance, not asking your parents for them. The treasurer must keep an exact account of what she re- cefves and what she expends, and must from time to time make a report to her club. A president ands a secretary are the only other necessary officers
 As for the clubs name it may be whatever you choose. A Latin name is often preferred because 1t sounds learned, and everybody is not supposed to kno wwhat it means. An alphabet ical name Is attractive because you do not have to reveal to the outside pub lie what the A. B. C.'s or the K Y Z's stand for. If you choose you may take the name of a flower and be known by that. The pansy, the iris, the mignon- cite, the cosmos, the violet, are appro- priate flowers for the christening of a club. When you select a motto let it be something inspiring and brief, some line of poetry or apt quotation, some bit of wisdom from Shakespeare or ing order and help you on in the days work
 Do not belong to a club at all unless you are willing to do your duty as a member. If you undertake any obli- gatton In this world fulflll it with con- science and punctua1ity It is a great pity for any of us to grow up shirk- Ing responsibility. We have each a duty to all the others, and how to full fill this duty is one of the things we learn in club life We learn, too to yield our own wishes and work agree ably and smoothly with other people No better lesson does a club teach than just this.

do not see myself any objection to
 school girls forming a club purely for purposes of fun and recreation. You have so much hard work in school and
 at home that you are entitled very fairly to such amusements as you like and such pleasure as you can take in
 company with one another. You might have a Saturday Evening Club. com posed of circle of congenial girls who do not live too far apart from one an- other to make meetings early on Sat urday evenings practicable. Sometimes you might assemble at o'clock and have supper at 6. finishing an hour or two afterward with games, music and story telling. Or you might meet at ! and separate at 9. Have a program ar- ranged beforehand and conclude with refreshments. You might occasionally have candy pull or make fudge, and once month your brothers might be admitted to share in the entertainment of the occasion.

 Your mothers and sisters and all your grown up friends are members or clubs. The lady who has never be- longed to club, never attended club function, and never known anything about the pleasure incidental to study and work in literary, or social cfub is so exceptional that we have to look for her with q microscope. Every town and village has it's Mothers, Club, or it's Four O'clock Club, or it's Monday Af- forenoon Club. or it's club with the name of one of the mnses. or it's as- sociatIon of danes and daughters. so unless the girl have their clubs, too, they will really be rather out of date.
 You may, if you like. have n club just as the elders have and for much the same purpose. We will suppose that your club has for it's object nature study This particular study has had what we may call boom of late. The birds the flowers, the trees, the rocks and stones, and everything that has to do with outdoor life afford interesting subjects tor those who study nature.
 if in your class work, you have taken up zoology and botany, q club for nature study will help along by way of supplementary information and will be greatly approved by your in structors. You will have certain days for meetings and certain other days for long and pleasant walks, for visiting nature in her own haunts, watching the birds, the butterflies and the bees. and seeking the wild flowers where they grow. When you think of 1t it Is a shame that we should live in a beauti- full world with so much that is fasci- hating to engage our powers, and yet shut ourselves up within the bounds of four walls and know so little as we do about natures wonderful works and ways.
 Your club may be organized to study English literature In this case you will meet periodically, arrange a course of reading, and very likely write pa- pers on topics assigned to different members. I am not sure that you will find it so popular a club as one that has outdoor life for its motive. Many girls think they have done their whole duty to themselves and each other when sheir school-work is finished. Yet Literature Club would not be a bad idea, and in 1t there would be room for a good deal of what might be called side reading. Your knowledge of books and authors would be increased in pleasant readings that should be voluntary and not prescribed by professors and teach CTS.

According to etymology, a retail
grocer" is as absolute an impossibility
as weekly journal" A grocer. or
"grosser" as it used to be spelled, is
really a trader in gross"-that is to
say, in large quantities, Wholesale.
Englishmen of other days spoke of
"grossers of fish" and "grossers of
wine" and an act of Edward III. ex-
pressly mentions that "grossers" dealt
in all manner of goods. In those days
"spicer" was the word for grocer" in
the modern sense. But 1t happened
that the Grocers' company. founded in
the fourteenth century, specialized in
spicery and so grocer" gradually took
the place of "spiccr."

PHOTOGRAPHY AND FINE ART.
Camera Pictures Much More Than Me
chanical Reproduction.

Few persons could be found who
would deny the claims of photography
to rank among the fine arts, when
skillully used and properly controlled,
since the photography of of to-day is
something more than a mechanical re-
production. The individuality of the
photographer is being expressed in
his work almost as much as is that of
the painter. The painter still has the
advantage, for while he may give us
an impression fuller than that made by
nature upon the eye, the photographer
can deal only with that which is OBJ.
served with such unerring fidelity and
skill by mechanical eye. Compost.
tion Is therefore one of the necessary
principles to the photographer, who
thus supplies the mechanical eye with
a mind, yet he must study lighting at
different hours of the day and varying
weather conditions that he may know
the best effects to be obtained. Many
otherwise successful photographers
need to realize that scientific accuracy
is not necessarily artistic truth, so
that, while one actualizes, the definite
sharpness may be softened and the ef-
feet enhanced.-Home Magazine.
