Here's a Golden Girl, Indeed.

Laura White, of San Francisco,
expects to become the richest woman
in the world. After several years of
prospecting she has discovered gold
vein in Nevada, and now is directing
mining operations personally. The
pluck and thoroughness that have
made woman so successful against
men in the world of work tell the
story of Miss Whites winning of
wealth. She saw nothing in future
as clerk in San Francisco Office, so
she studied miRcralogy and struck
out into the Nevada mountains. She
net the disappointments that seem
to come to every prospector, but her
confidence never waned, and finally
she marked down a gold vein on a
mountainside that had been searched
by scores of men. She filed her claim
and was ready for work before news
of her rich find reached the public,
and when men rushed in to stake out
claims 1t was found the young woman
had obtained control of every square
foot of promising ground. Miss
White directs the work of large
force of miners, and it is said that
when below ground she wears mems
clothes.-New YorE Press.

added, "at least not yet. But with
the permission of the Chair, can we
not discuss this practical matter at
this meeting? In view of the price of
eggs and butter, of sugar and spice,
of flour and milk and everything else
that goes into cake, can we afford to
serve rich cakes at our receptions?
Shall we not decide to offer our
friends one-egg cake and omit strong

"One-egg cake is very plain and

the same grade of cake as formerly
and make the coffee after the same
recipe, for economy's sake cutting
the cake thinner and pouring the
coffee into smaller cups?" This was
the suggestion of woman who had
long been social engineer in church
matters.
The Ladies' Aid Society of Centre
Vile had for years done much of the
self-denying work that is part of the
province of women in most of our
churches. When the church needed a

The little lady had finished her
speech and resumed her place at the
back of the room. Others followed
her and the question was tossed back
and forth like a ball from hand to
hand. Finally, the decision reached
was that where sacrifices must be
made they should be made at home
and that church gatherings should be

To one listener it seemed as If the
Ladies' Aid had been guided to the
wisest conclusion. Retrenchment Is
often advisable, and superfluities may
be cut off, but hard times are made
harder when those who can afford to
do otherwise reduce their expenses

old clothes when she can afford new
ones, thus limiting the revenues of
the dressmaker and the milliner, nor
to set her servants adrift while she
can as well as ever before keep them
and pay them wages. People who
begin their economy, so to speak, at
the church door, curtailing their do

instead of doubling them, almost

the other side of the room rose. She

The fair girl is almost sure to be

Dark girls are more emotional;

Brunette women make very loving

do not understand discipline. Fair
women train their children best for
a prosaic and every day life.
1t is said that fair children are
easier to bring up than dark ones, as
their ailments are less likely to be
serious, and they have more vitality

Dark persons of either sex fret and
wear themselves to fiddlestrings with
