Finnish Women Lawmakers.

The success or failure of the nineteen
women deputies who are serving their
hFst terms as national lawmakers over
IN FINLAND, will be watched with the ut
most interest IN this country. 1t seems
strange. indeed, that the women of a
country in the Cars realm should win
such victory when their sisters in lands
that are supposed to be more progressive,
nave tailed. But that doesn't detraCt
any from the effect of the victory. 1t
meatfs that women are being recognized
tor their true worth in some parts of the
world at least, and that sooner or later
they will be placed on an equal footing
with men III other nations. The princi-
pies of woman's suffrage are the same
the world over, and the measures that
the Finnish women legislators advocate
are identical with those that women in
this country are fighting for. Unlike
conditions over here. however, the men
lawmakers OF Finland are said to be in
IaVor OF most of the proposed laws and
tHe passage or az except prohibition
statute is practically certain.
In commenting on the appearance Of
the new women lawmakers, European
newspapers remark that none of Them

spirit what they lack in physical charms.
NO higher compliment could have
been paid them than that. Good looks

victory in the bali room and parlor hut
when woman is forced to face the
world on her true merits. other qualiica-
tons must be taken into consideration.
That the people of Finland were among
the first to recognize that fact. should
raise them in the estimation of the
equality-loving persons the world over.
In view of the battle being waged in
this country for equal rights, the stand
taken by the Finnish women in favor
of equal wages for both sexes for the
same kinds of work, is particularly in
teresting. Who knows but that the vic
tory won by the women in far-off Fin
land will be the means of opening the
eyes of the world to a proper recogni-
ton of the rights of women w oman's

outdoor exercise as a way of physical

ganda the parSon and the school teacher
should help; in fact, they are the main
medium through which such teaching

other classes they can thin out the over
population of cities, through the presen-
tn ton of purer and simpler ideas than
those of the complex packed" life the

their opportunity in the nature study de-

Art of Starching Muslins and Laces.

To launder your muslins and laces
most successfully, says Marion Harris
Mel who is privileged to write m. c.
A. after her name, make some thin hot
water starch; cream colOred. or ecru
starch IS made i'll the same way, with
the addition of a spoonful or two of cof-
fee to give it the desired tint.
Squeeze your lace or muslin out of
clean cole water, then dip it in the hor
starch, and let it soak we'll; squeeze it
again to get the starch out of it; never
wiring either muslin or lace. elan il well
between your hands, and ii is ready for
ironing.
If you have quantity they may all
be starched at once. but after clappmg
wrap them i'll a cloth to keep them from
drying. and TO protect them from dust
cream cOlored things you WILL of course,
keep by themselves, both in Starching
and ironing.
To iron India muslin after it has been
starched, first of all, draw it out evenly
to get ii straight, then pass the iron
over the surface of it in circular move
ments, do not push straight on. and be
fore it has time to dry catch il by the
corners and draw it into proper shape,
as muslin is very apt to become crooked
in the ironing.
Then smooth it with the iron once
more, and hang it before the fire to get
thoroughly dry and crisp; should the
muslin be edged with lace you viii iron
the lace first before touching the mus
lin.
If muslins or laces he starched and
irOned in this way. they will be bcauti-
fully soft as when they were new, but
they must be handled at all times very
gently. and they must not be wrung.
There is no harm in passing them
through the mangle. or WFinger, as that
only squeeZes the water out of them, and
does not strain or crack the delicate
fiber.
BY using thin hot water starch, clap
ping the things well between the hands.
and with well polished iron, clear
starching becomes a simple process, and
need present no difficulties to even be
ginner.
Some people like to add lump of SUI
gar along with the coffee in making col
ored starch, but it is better without it.
as it is not only cleaner, but also more
! likely to give a softer effect to the lace.
In washing and starching things that
are embroidered in coIors, if these colors
are apt to run. add a little salt both to
the rinsing water and 10 the starch.
Ironing should be dispensed with when
possible, mGngling being much more sat
isfactOry.
In the washing do not rub the ar
ticles. but squeeze them well in luke
warm lather of soft water and white
curd soap.

Love for the beautiful will come, if the

Call the child's attention to everyday
beauties-the day or the scene before
him. or if he goes to the store let him
admire the luscious fruit or flowers or
the pretty dresses.
Take him to the picture galleries and
show him the difference between the
cheap and artistic productions or keep

The Chain of Life.

Life is a chain, says Katherine Moody
Spalding, each link being woven of deeds,
the chain as a whole no stronger than
the weakest link. What is your weakest
link, and can your manhood stand the
test of taking it out?
The test of the chain is the degree Of
self control which it represents.
| a man thinks he is doing himself no
harm to indulge in a thing that has
brought disaster to another on the ground
that he can break off at will, he must
count on his power of self-control. Per
haps he can, but very able men have
thought so and when the time came
found the chain so forged that it was
impossible. Perhaps they have linked
their chain with others who must go
down with him, and he has no courage
TO do this thing when he cOntemplates
the wreck for which he would be respon-
sible.
Romance and fiction have woven many
a thrilling tale upon the temptations
overcome by the tempted, but, while the
moral tale makes good reading and stirs
the tender conscience, it is very hard to
do this thing in real life. 1t is better
not to have forged the weak link in the
beginning.
And it is not as if the world were
not warned There are lives on all sides
that have been wrecked by q weak iml-
tatlon link just as the dishonest work
man supplies a false part wheve he
thinks it will not be discovered by the
owner though he knows it endangers his
life
The girl who listens to a vile story,
who accepts attentions ON the sly that
she would not want her mother to know
about the boy who takes his first cigar
cite. the man who "borrows" his first
loan from the till that belongs to anoth-
er, are all forging weak links in this
chain
