THE FLOWER SALE.

Here Is a valuable suggestion for church
workers who are eager to defray some
church expense. Let a number of the sue
cessful flower growers start a variety Of
Dubious plants to be sold Thanksgiving
and Christmas week. There Is always Q
ready sale for flowers at such times ard
a flower market both weeks would bring
in a neat sum of money. Naturally at
such times the flowers purchased at any
of the florists are beyond the average
pocketbook, though the flowers raised at
home could be sold at reasonable prices
within the reach of everyone. 1t Is not a
difficult matter to raise these flowers,
though, Of course, the work can be neg
lected and flowers will die as a result. 1t
seems a splendid opportunity. In fact,
women of the church could arrange to
nave regular sale days throughout the
winter and where. there are prospective
brides. the countless little dinners and
many social affairs during the fall and
winter. there would be splendid opportuni-
tbs to sell these flowers. The willing
workers would be glad to sell the flowers
at a price which would be reasonable and
of sufficient amount for the time and labor
devoted to the work. A flower booth at
a bazaar could not fail to be as attractive
as It would prove rem~unerative, since
most women will deny themselves many
little coveted things to be able to have
flowers throughout the year.

IF there is one thing I envy a man it
is his privilege to smoke" a charming
girl was heard to remark a few days ago.
Her hearers looked their amazement at
her remark, and By way Of explanation
she added: eWhen I was a little girl my
father was a heavy smoker, and for some
reason unknown to me ne used to let me
start his pipe, and I really think ! learn
ed to like the fumes of the weed when
men seem to think belongs entirely to
them. 1 suppose Nv shocked some OF
you, but 1 mean what 1 say, 1 really wish
I might smoke without fear of being
criticized"
Are you truly in earnest?" asked a
little girl with a frightened expression, as
If she was sure her friends remark was
something awful. D you mean you
would really smoker"
"why not?" replied the girl, don't the
women of other countries smoke, and
why shouldn't WEI It's only a matter Of
habit, and II It was a universal custom
for women to smoke nothing would be
thought of it, and very likely you would
smoke along with me and the rest"
but think of how harmful it would
be-" said the little girl; think OF the
nervous wrecks it would make of
women"
Don't you believe anything OF the kind.
II 1t would make nervous wrecks OF
women, what about the men. Now you
must admit that the number of men who
suffer from nervousness caused by smok-
ing Is comparatively few"
At this point something happened to
interrupt the argument of the two girls,
but speaking a little later to the one who
expressed a desire to smoke / learned that
she spoke In all sincerity and that the
only reason she did not smoke was that
tho habit was not practised by women In
this country.
II have given the subject some thought
she said, and / find that one New York
physician has advised certain women of
his clientele to smoke.
HE told them 1t would be just as bene-
fetal as to their husbands"
There seems to be some reason In her
argument, to be sure, for I suppose wom-
en- would find just as much solace in an
after-dinner cigarette or a corn-cob pipe
as do their husbands, notwithstanding
that the husbands might do a great deal
OF obJecting.
The time may come when women Will
smoke tobacco with their husbands and
brothers, but let us hope, for the sake of
the dignity of ~womankind, that the day
Is far distant.

ARMH0LES AND
THE NEW SLEEVES.

The long armhole, instead or being SO
very loose and disconnected, Will be short
and narrow abruptly over a sleeve Of the
cow material.
Sleeves will be short for very dressy oc-
casions, but for street suits they will be
very long, very full at the armhole. made
so either by deep, closely-laid gathers or
by folds. and will taper from above the
elbow to a very close-fitting wrist.
The sleeves are made the vehicle for
many odd little touches. and we may be
prepared for some striklngly original eff
fects. As is the case when any decided
change is being introduced, much latitude
will be allowed in this matter of sleeves
until probably midwinter. when the style
should be established.

HINTS FOR THE
BUSY HOUSEWIFE

Sweet oil applied with a soft flannel
will clean bronze. First brush out all
dust, apply the oil, using as little as
possible, and polish with soft chamois
leather.
A very good way to lay the dust on
the carpets while sweeping is to
sprinkle over them two cupfuls Of
dampened corn meal.
A very satisfactory way to clean rugs
after they have been hung on the line
and beaten is to brush them carefully
with a whisk broom dipped in gaso-
line.
When cookies become damp or soggy
they can be freshened by placing them
in a paper bag, s%prinkling a few drops
of water owe the bag and putting them
in a warm oven for a few minutes.
Oxalic acid is excellent for removing
stains from your finger nails. Dissolve
the acid in water and apply to the
nails with an o~rangewood stick, and
you will find all stains will be instantly
removed,

GOSSIP OF THE
WOMEN'S CLUBS.
Plan Federation Meeting in Woman's
Club, of Orange, Next
Month.

Club women in all parts of the State are
looking forward with interest to the annual
meeting of the New Jersey State Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, to be held In the
Woman's Club, Of Orange, the latter part OF
October. Club politics will be almost en-
tirely tabooed, as the only elections which
will take place are those Of three members
of the board of directors. The nomination
blanks were received by the clubs before
the spring meetings closed, and they are
now getting ready to fill them out. as the
blanks must be returned to the official
board before September 20.
The candidates include Mrs. Francis Fl.
Morrell, OF the Irving Club, Newark; Mrs.
Edward r. Chamberlain, of the Political
Study Club, Orange, and several Others
from the Southern part Of The State. each
of whom has her gtanch supporters. 1t Is
probable that the majority of the Newark
clubs will give their support to Mrs. Nor
rell, who ohas proved herself most efficient
in her work for the Irving Club and for
the committees on which she was served
at different times.
1t is likely that at the October meeting
the matter of changing the date of the
annual gathering of the federation from
the autumn to the spring will be taken
up. Among the advantages to be gained
by the change named are: that the cleo
pioneering for the various candidates could
be more easily carried on, as all club
members would still be in the city.
whereas they are generally out of
town in summer almost up to the day
of the fall meeting, and that the various
clubs elect their officers In the spring
and would like to have their new lists of
officers in the federation year book. There
will be a meeting of the board Of directors
of the Federation an September, u. In
this city. when final arrangements will be
made for the annual meeting.
Mrs. Edwin S. Robinson, Of Westield. is
chairman of the program committee. Other
members are Mrs. Henry N. Sayre. of this
city; Miss Amelia r. Cole, Of Riverton, and
Mrs. Mary w. Kinsey. Of Elizabeth.
Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker, Of Denver, Col,
president of the Central Federation OF
Women's Clubs, has accepted the fedora
tion's invitation to be present. 1t Is prob
Fable that she will give a lengthy address.

00"' -0 SUGGESTIONS,

When removing tan the quality Of water
one uses for bathing has much to do with
the skin, and hard water is decidedly IN
furious. If there Is the slightest tendency
to that keep on the washstand a box filed
will equal quantities of powdered orris
root and bicarbonate of soda. Put enough
of this in the water to give a slight per-
tfume and you will have a delightful tonic
This may be used as often as desired.
To beautify the complexion washing IN
milk is suggested. 1t will make the skin
exquisite, but not all at once. This KIND
of bathing must be done nightly, and tins
liquid gently patted on, not fried with o
cloth.
1t will take at least two months before
any change is noted, but a woman who
makes a practise Of giving her face a milk
bath regularly is more than repaid for the
slight trouble.

Old and Young Ideas.

A sigh came from the Dear Old Lady
when you are a little older you will
think differently" she remarked. Just
now you are young and impatient and
a little bit selfish. Young people al
ways are. Besides, your comparisons
do not exactly fit my idea. But I've
said my say she ended with a smile,
land you have said yours, and where
are we? We both ave u theories,
and 1t remains for us to work them
out"
"Oh, I know you ire right" said the
Girl, land I wish 1 was just like you.
But there is no use asking me to smile
if l am all gloomy inside"
There is a great deal of difference
in the viewpoints of people.
1t seems to me that the Dear Old
Lady's theory is the more beautiful and
the one which we feel we would like to
follow, but somehow or other we all
sympathize with the viewpoint of the
Girl, do we not?
In theory we rise to the greatest
Fights. but when it comes to practise
we all have a way of staying RIGHT
down close to earth. MoLL1E'
