Y. W. c. A. NOTES
NEW PHYSICAL CULTURE
CLASS TO MEET TONIGHT.
Members Take Lively Interest in Bible
Study-Work and Win Club to
Have Candy Pull.

The physical culture class of the Young
Women's Christian Association will meet
in the central building, IA East PARK
street, tonight, under the charge of Miss
D.. Blaurok, who has recently taken a
course in Swedish movement and folk
dancing at Columbia University.
Mrs. E. Morris Ferguson is holding a
committee meeting for missionary work
this afternoon. The missionary work OF
the year will be mapped out by Mrs,
Ferguson, who Is intimately connected
with such efforts, and SO well equipped for
leadership.
The Young Woman's Christian Associa-
ton Of the World. the headquarters of
which are in London, maintains associa-
lions in China, Japan, India and Egypt.
One Of the interesting items given to
the public last week at Miss Helen Gould's
reception was the fact that almost as
much money was given by the United
States for the association in foreign lands
as for the work in the home fields.
The Japanese association has very much
the same kind of work as that carried on
in America. Japanese girls are leaving
their country homes to go into city life
for the sake Of getting the educational
advantages which Japanese women, as
well as men, are Eager to obtain, and
which the Young Women's Christian As
ISOLATION offers the young country girl.
An association recently begun in Cairo,
Egypt, finds a large field of work among
the English and American young women
there.
The Bible class and the Bible class
supper will take place tonight as usual.
The supper is an affair of convenience for
business girls who stay downtown every
Wednesday evening for the Bible class.
The cost Is ten cents. and a good supper
is served. One gets hot cocoa or coffee,
eggs a la Bechamel or some other hot
dish, salad, pie and fruit. The yuppers
pay for themselves. About fifteeh girls
come TO the Bible class suppers at the
present time. When the Rochester Y.
w. c.. A. suppers began there were seven
or eight girls in attendance. Now there
are about 200.
There are two classes in Bible study,
one on the Life of Christ in charge of
the new secretary, Miss Mabel Easton,
and one in "Old Testament History
with Miss Cora May Adams as leader.
The Work and Win Club, which meets
every Friday night, is to lave a candy
pull this week. A Shakespeare Club will
be inaugurated Saturday. Miss Adams,
who has had Shakespeare classes in her
High School work, is taking personal
pleasure in this club, which will be
limited in membership. as it would be i'm
possible to carry on a large club and OBJ
tain the best results. Miss Mary L. Bah
cock, of the Harlem Y. w. G. A, is to be
in Newark Sunday to conduct the Sunday
afternoon vesper service at 4 o'clock. Miss
Babcock is a remarkable Bible student and
a most interesting speaker.

POPULARITY OF
WICKER FURNITURE.

Wicker furniture seems to go any
where. 1t is especially suitable for
living rooms and bedrooms. 1t is light
to move about and can be stained
brown green or mahogany color, says
the Philadelphia Record.
Another thing to remember when
buying furniture is not to choose queer,
eccentric-looking pieces that will seem
out Of style in two years. Furniture
has to last as1ong time, SO it is very
important. to get what is good in shape
and finish, so that It will continue to
be ornamental as well as useful.
The household furniture of the latter
half of the eighteenth century has
come to be regarded as the best. the
world has yet p%roduceds and pieces
made by C~hippendale, Adams, Siberia
ton, ETC., and some of their i~n1itators.
now sell for several times their orig
inal prices, and are copied by furni-
ture makers of every kind. In point
of style and general usefulness nothing
now made is better adapted to modern
conditions than the best of this old
work.

CELEBRATION

Free and Accepted Masons, called dur

Koch, who is a charter member of the
lodge and the oldest living past master,
with a jardiniere of flowers and a num-
her of other gifts. Many friends called

and to present the couple with floral
remembrances.

All work n no play makes Jack a
dull boy" is an old adage which most
of us learned in the nursery. Our
mothers and our grandmothers learned
it, too, in their day, and the wonder
of it is that so few of us realize how
much 1t means and now much 1t APP
plies to "Jack's'' sister Jill"
Women as a rule-that is, the woman
in the home and the woman in business
life-are satisfied to plod on for ever
and ever at the duties which are theirs
without ever q thought of self or of
the breakdown which is sure to follow
the too constant grind. It never seems
to occur to them that they can &C
complish really good work with a
little recreation mixed In, and that the
very best is accomplished after the
mind has been diverted by thoughts
Of something else besides that which
constitutes work.
Perhaps it is due to the hurry-scurry
life We lead in America, for there is no
.disputing the fact that here, more
than in any other country, we rush
through everything; nothing is done
with that deliberatlon which charac-
terizes the methods and system of peo-
pie in other countries, and our women
have caught the infection of doing
things in a rush and of doing some
thing all the time.
Naturally, when a foreigner visits
our precious country he begins at once
to observe our women, and within a
very short time you. will find him ex-
claiming at their lack of repose; their
restlessness. Not long ago an English
said to an American, your women
do not know how to rest. They go,
go, go until they are ready to drop,
and generally wind up with nerves un-
strung and health broken. They should
learn how to relax, to rest between
times. Why, they cannot sit still in a
chair. They must either move their
hands or their feet or their head. They
know not the meaning of repose, and it
is no wonder that they wrinkle early"
All of which is true. Our women do
not know how to rest. The best and
the swiftest horses do not always live
at a gallop. Occasionally they subside
into a jog trot, and regularly they are
turned into pasture land to rest and
recuperate. No dumb animal could
stand the physical strain that human
being often put upon themselves.
We are a nation Of hustlers, but If
we keep on at the rate we are now
going after a while we wont be able
to hustle. We must learn to relax, both
men and ONE

HANDY IN THE KITCHEN.

Take a board ten inches long, an inch
thick and two inches wide and cover it
with several ~thicknesses of emery
paper No. 0. Bore a hole in one end
of the stick and run a strong cord
through it and fasten to a hook above
the sink. This will be useful for sharp

points, or removing rust from iron or
steel pieces, a y the National

has worn off, take the sharp knife, re-
the upper layer and you have a

MOBILIZE
These Days.

How do you spend these windy, win
try days?
Do you sit in the house, toasting your
toes before the fire, shivering every
time you turn away from it's heat and
rendering yourself most susceptible to
every %draught?
Or do you indulge in long walks,
wrapped in comfortable garments and
with hair protected by a sensible veil,
taking long strides, with head up and
shoulders back?
The latter way is by far the better,
and it is a pity that more people do
not practise it, especially those who
are confined in warm, often badly
ventilated offices, sitting still for hours
at a time. They are the ones who need
to take special care of themselves. if
they would have their health as rugged
as could be desired. And if they do
not have sufficient exercise in the fresh
air they are bound to suffer more or
less.
A brisk walk, after hours, will re-
lieve one of mental strain more than
all the prescribed tonics in the world.
You have heard people say thai they
were going out to walk off a head
aSHe' "ho perhaps YOU uoupteu lnaI
1t could be done.
OF course it all depends on the head
ache. If it comes from a disordered
stomach the sufferer may need a little
medicine to set him right; but if it is
just the result of nervousne and
brain flag a long walk, accompanied by
deep breathing and thoughts of other
things than the work which caused the
headache, will simply make it "fade
away"

Too Tired.

"But I'm too tired to walk home
when l leave the store at night" said
a young girl who Is employed in one
Of the Broad street shops the other
day. IT'D like to, and know it would
be good for me, but when 1 see my car
coming I just cannot help waiting
for it."
She handed a piece of lace to the
wrapper, sent the customers money
rafting down the tube to the cashier,
and went on, II wonder If you know
what 1T means to be really tired; to
stand on your feet until you are almost
exhausted, and to contract a headache
every day from listening to the con-
slant hum of noise around you!"
Indeed l do" responded the Gus
toner warmly, as she took her parcel
and opened her purse preparatory to
taking her change. 81 was employed
in a store before my marriage. and
many was the time when 1 was utterly
weary. But an old friend used to preach
to me of the virtues of exercise, and |
took her advice. It made a new woman
of me, and that is why 1 am talking to
you," and she smiled as she made
ready to depart.

II hate to do it," confded the sales
girl to me, a couple of days later, but
I like that woman so much that I am
going to follow her advice and exercise
If it kills me. l am going to walk home
every night, no matter what"
ID not worry. 1t will not kill you.
and you viii not be sorry said 1. and
l meant it.
When you are all tired out, a good
brisk walk will do wonders for you;

and you win get up the next morning
as good as new. MOLLIE.

Official Statistics.

The figures given out from the white
house, that Taft is certain of 521 votes
i'll the republican convention, with
more to come. may be found after all
to be colored by the enthusiastic sta
tisticians of the tennis cabinet" II
would be rather extraordinary for a re-
publican convention to nominate a
candidate for president against the pro-
test of New York. Pennsylvania. Indi-
ana, Illinois and other important states.
The nomination of Taft can only be
brought about by the votes controlled
by the federal officials in the south
and west and such endorsement of my
policies" and " my candidate" would
hardly be a recommendation to indie
pendent voters and civil service reform
ers in the doubtful states. The republi-
can factional fight thus seems to be
drifting in favor of the democrats, il
they can get together on candidate
upon whom the Bryan and anti-Bryan
factions can agree.
