the popular card clubs few days ago.
 "Why. I have them; in fact. I have had them for months. Of course I don't mean that I started out last spring to buy my prizes for any particular party for this winter, but followed practice of sev- eral years standing. Experience has taught me that I am always needing prizes for one thing or another. before the season is over, so. when I am shopping I always keep my eyes open, and if I see anything that I think would answer the purpose I buy it then and there and put 1t away for future use.
 "When the time comes for me to enter tain either at a party or my club sim ply go to what I term my emergency department" and look over the collection of articles I have purchased and make a selection I find that this plan saves me untclG worry and bother and great deal Of time Reference to my cash ac- count proves also that it is a great saving of Eioney. This picking up" things, as it wers, is splendid idea; at least I have found it so."

Teach Girls To Mend

Darning and mending. which are usually regarded as the nomely arts, may well be classed among the womanly accomplish ncnts. Take the young mother who has been forced to learn these arts after mar riage ahd she will testify to the necessity of knowledge oh this score. When her daughters arrive at a teachable age she will no doubt appreciate the importance of having her girls begin this work--the earlier the better.
 From the time a child can hold a needle in her little hand she should be taught to mend, beginning with her dolls clothes and gradually becoming responsible for the rents in her own garments.
 Teach her that it is as important to mend her clothes as to learn her spelling or her music lessons, and that all are equally essential. and that the earlier she besins the easier the lesson will be leattru.

First Woman Mayor Chosen In
 England

That women have invaded every profess sion is an undisputed fact in this day and time and to the charming, old-fashioned town of BucSinghamshire, 8 miles from London. is given the credit of being daring enough to choose a woman for the posi- ton of mayor of the borough. This honor has been paid to Miss Dove, the head mistress of the well-known Wycombe Ab- bey School for Girls, and soon the delib- erations of the corporation will be pre- sided over by a lady, the first in Eng land to hold such position.
 A peculiar point arises, for although she can fulfill the role of mayor, she will be precluded from exercising the functions of chief magistrate of the bor- ough.
 Miss Dove has always been in favor of women taking thir due share upon the different local governing bodies ill the country; and when last year women were made eligible to serve on town councils she was keenly desirous that women with experience and ability should be public spirited enough to come

The Wearing Of the Green

From far away Porto Rico comes the news that styles are up-to-date there, de- spite the distance and inaccessibility.
 The fashion notes in San Juan news paper, which has fallen under my notice, contains this:
 Green is the thing

What Every Woman Knows

Love may be joy unspeakable, and love May be woe too deep for moans and tears, Love may be chrism of blessing poured above
 The quiet days of uneventful years, And love may sometimes be just patience spent In trying how to find and keep content. Whate'er it be, true love Is crown or cross Infinite gainfor woe of bitterest loss.
