Directly they entered the ballroom
Peggy saw Lord MOntleithon; he was
bending over cynical Mrs Groombridge
and the expression on his clear-cut
features was, as usual. enigmatic.
The minister, looking up, saw the en-
try of the girl in pink chiffon. For a
second his gaze fingered well pleased,
then he frownd. Nevertheless, he came
to talk to her later.
A frank smile greeted him.

ment even in the calm upper chamber,
went deep into the soul of Peggy.
Teach me-" she pleaded.
Il found a woman i'll, probably dy-
ing, of low fever-merely a nerve col
lapse, brought on by worry acting upon
an emaciated body and brain; her baby
girls were playing on her mattress with
old tins snatched from some gutter.
She told me she had dropped down
suddenly, after finishing the last of
half dozen chiffon robes. A message
had come for them, but she could not
go for payment"
Peggy gasped.
1.-The wage would represent not a
farthing a score Of tucks yet some of
this was to be deducted, since, her baby
having died, she had let tears fall upon
a frill of chiffon"
Peggy caught his arm with both her
hands.
'Who were her employers"
"NIessrs. Oakley & Lemercier."
She gave a cry, and the minister I'M
derstoOd.
Breaking away from him she leaned
against a pillar, beneath bust of JUS
tIce. and there she sobbed, In school
girl-like abandon.
The minister did not forget the wear
er of the pink chiffon; her sweet, tear
full face came between his thoughts
and all statistics. Once, indeed, he con
temptuously thrust away the profound
figure proofs that were to convince his
colleagues of the necessity for legis-
lation.

When he next visited the woman of

supported by the strong, young arms
of a girl, the descendant Of kings, who
had nursed her back to life.

If a woman to-day desires to be
learned, she may become so. The time
has passed when any suggestion of
scholarship for a feminine head was
fiouted as against nature" The num-
Der Of men who give themselves to re-
search Is always relatively small, and
that of women is likely to be still
smaller; but for the exceptional wo-
man opportunities for the highest study
are now open.
The Association of Collegiate Alum
nae at recent meeting listened to
addresses from six women who had
held fellowships from the associa-
ton. Four of the six may write
'Ph. D." or Lift. d." after their
names. Their researches have been In
diverse delds-Roman archaeology, old
English, comparative psychology, es-
thetics. Their stories of their work
show their vigor and ingenuity In the
pursuit OF knowledge, and humor in
facing the difficulties of their tasks.
For example, one of them wished to
study a manuscript In the mOnastry of
Monte Casino. She found the rules
of the order forbade any woman to
work in the library or any manuscript
to be taken out But gentle appeal
to the abbot resulted in his sending
the desired treasure to the porter's
room at the gate. By a free construc-
tlon of the regulations the book was
there said to be "in" and the maiden
was said to be out" and all require
ments were met

Vienna has always been famed for
its dressmakers Some women prefer
gown from Vienna to one from Paris
even. And now the Austrian authori-
ties are taking steps to put the capital
on q higher pedestal In the world Of
fashion. The head OF the principal
school Of dressmaking there has re-
ceived instructions from the Ministry
Of Education to open a special course
for the higher education in the art of
making gowns and all things that ap-
pertain to the clothing of women.
The tuition will be quite free, the
cost being borne by the Ministry OF Ed
ucation. The course will embrace not
only measuring, cutting out, the draw
ing of patterns and those other subtler
matters which are the essence of really
high-class dressmaking, but boOkkeep-
ing, a knowledge of the trades acts and
laws-everything, in fact, that is nee

to the government as one to sell to
the book trust, and, goodness knows,
we have some awful poor books in
our schools at the present time.
AS it is at present, man, having
just bought an outfit of school books
for his family, may find it necessary
to move into another district; it may
be into another state or perhaps, only
across the boundary into another coun-
ty, and when he gets there and sends
his children to school he learns that
the set of books which he has just pur-
chased are entirely worthless, as far
as school use is concerned, and as
the district does not furnish the text
books he is required to go to town
and often searching through the city
finds the agent of the same book trust
of which he had bought his books in
his old home, and through this agent
he pays into their treasury another
ten, fifteen or twenty dollars.
Now, is this right? If these books
were good for the old home school,
they certainly should be good for the
new one, or, as he was buying of the
same company in both cases, why
should he not have been able to ex-
change the books, which were nearly
new. for others in use in the new
school, paying, perhaps, small diff
ference to make up for naturel depre-
citation?
Our National Grange has taken the
matter up and will undertake to find
some feasible plan whereby this can
be corrected At present it is up to
YOU and me to talk the matter over,
study it carefully, preach it upon the
street corners and wherever men con-
gregate, SO when the time comes for
action be ready to lend a hand toward
helping the good cause along. Better
still, organize grange and discuss this
question in your leisure hour, and
when plan has been formulated, use
your organization as a fulcrum where
by to force congress to pass the needed
legislation.
Remembering all have said relative
to the grange, do you not think that
you ought to organize one and be IN
position to avail yourselves OF the
advantages to be derived from such
an organization? If SO, let us know
your wishes and we will take means
to fulfill your desires. Address me at

Modern Piano Selling.

The wonderful growth and enviable
standing of the well-knOwn ID. 5. John-
ston Co., the Oldest and largest piano
and organ dealers on the coast, with
Headquarters in Seattle and Tacoma,
and stores in all large western cities,
recently received an unusual amount
of attention from the leading music
trade journals of the country. 1t is a
recognized fact that more pianos and
organs are sold annually on the Pa
cific coast, comparatively, than in any
other section of the United States.
For this reason the Pacific coast and
a number of it's leading concerns have
occupied the attention of the leading
eastern periodicals recently. Stats
tics from the great piano trade author
ity, the New York Musical Courier,
show that the d. S. Johnston Co. and
their affiliated interests now handle
one-half of all the pianos sold ON the
Pacific coast. Continuing, the article
advances the principles on which the
house of Johnston is built and explains
the new method of piano selling inaug-
urated by this great concern, as fol-
lows:
"Tersely stated, the Johnston plan
saves to the piano buyer everything
that systematic, economical, careful
and up-to-date business methods can
effect. Thus, the Johnston plan ena-
bles you to secure the highest grade
piano for the money that has here
tofore been paid on medium grade
pianos, or to secure piano of me-
dunn grade for the former price OF
moor one. The Johnston plan gives
you all the benefits that accrue from
buying in enormous quantities and TAX
ing advantage of every facility for
shipping and handling pianos by the
most economical methods.
again, the Johnston plan insures
rigid inspection of every piano by COM
petent experts before it leaves the fac
tory. and it makes certain the careful
and correct handling from source to
destination. And the Johnston method
gives you a guarantee as secure as the
rock of Gibraltar-and absolute money
back warranty If the instrument, after
delivery, is not found exactly as rep
resented in every respect"
The above interesting article tends
to show that the Pacific coast Is musi-
cally higher than our eastern or south
ern neighbors, a record of which every
tue westerner may we'll feel proud.
