First Woman Rhodes Scholar.


The first woman Rhodes scholar has
arrived in London in connection with
the scheme for founding scholarships
for women on the lines of the schol-
arships for men founded by Cecil
Rhodes.
The scheme was formulated in 1905
by Nine. Thayer, then chairman of the
education committee of the Society of
American Women In London, who is
devoting her life to carrying out its
development.
Miss Clara Howard, the scholar in
question, who was entered for a year
Of postgraduate study at Girton, is
from Columbia university, and her
scholarship was raised by the Society
of American Women In London, the
nucleus being subscribed by the edu-
cation committee during Nine. Thay-
er's craftsmanship.
Miss Howard arrives in America
with a brilliant record. The woman
Rhodes scholars will in future be
chosen by competitive examinations
There was hardly time for this, how
ever, in this case, and thus Miss How
ard was chosen on the recommends
ton of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, the wife
of the American ambassador in Lon
don, and of Dr. Nicholas Murray But
Ter, president of Columbia university.

The Luncheon Club.

Why not have a luncheon club? II

a good one, and the wonder is that
there are not more of them in exist

purely social end in view, but 1t isn't
half so entertaining this way as when
a certain educational motive is includ

pose of trying new dishes and expert
menting in cookery 1t is not only more
fun, but decidedly more instructive as
well, and in such a club the members

branches and earth" says a mission
airy. Sometimes the body is placed
under a specially built grass roof in
the open. This is not considered a
burial, and some years ago they
brought out for big funeral feast and
dance the body of an important chief
that had thus been preserved for over
twenty years. In other districts the
dead are thrown away into a river or
into the bush to be devoured by jack
ais and Yultures."

Suggestive Questions on the Sunday School

is it necessary, or not, to be filed
with the Holy Ghost, in order to
make converts, or to comfort the
children of God, and are these results
always attained in the ministry of a
man filled with the Holy Ghost. This
question must be answered in writing
by members of the club.
do we exhort one another as much
as we should, to "cleave unto the
Lord
Are half-hearted people we'll pleas
ing to God.
Verses 25-26-Why did Barnabas
start off to Tarsas to seek Saul.
Does 1t frequently happen that two
holy men can do much more together,
than they could do working apart.
Where were the disciples of Jesus
first called Christians.
What had Christ's followers been
called previous to being called
Christians.
Verses 27-2S-Is the gift of pro.
phecy, that is telling future events,
given to any person to-day.
Verses 29-30- Should the church of
Christ to-day be practical brother
hood, caring for one another. and
helping each other financially, and IN
every other way, as the need may be.
Should not the church be doing for
its mem bers the work now being done
by fraternaI societies.

A Need of Business Women.

'My earnings amount to $50 a week,

young New York widow who has the
support and education of four small
children to look out for. at was a
question Of putting my children in an

who live in the same uptown fiathouse

is able to Keep a regular servant, and
the cleaning woman who came to them
weekly never did what they wanted.
'"They were always envying my neat
rooms. One day the thought struck
me, and l offered to do their weekly
cleaning and mending. My charges
were 50 week for cleaning and 80
cents for mending. To the cleaning
woman who always accompanies me
l pay 81 a day, besides giving her
three meals.
This woman comes in at 8 a. m.
and after eating her breakfast helps
me to get the children off to school,
Then we set my own little flat to
rights. After this is properly accom-
plished we begin the real work of the
day, making the flats of my patrons
shine like new.

makes an effort to serve as many new
dishes as possible.
To be ideal such a club should BE- a
neighborhood affair, so that IL large
two of the members could entertain
together, thus making the task of serv-
ing luncheon to so many less burden
some.
A club which does not enforce strict
rules limiting its menu to a certain
number of courses will be almost sure
to prove failure, as there are few
women who can withstand the tempta-
ton to strive to Guido their sisters In
matters of his Isl !, and without such
limiting rules [ ub Of this kind will
soon become burden. One such club
has an ironclad rule that salad and
dessert shall not be served at the same
meal.
The charm of club where new
dishes are studied and cooking prob
lens discussed is its informality. The
women who belong to 1t come together
with a common end in view, that of
learning something. Besides this, there
is always the added value which
comes from meeting with other wo-
men and exchanging views and expert
ences. 1t keeps the busy housewife
from getting into a rut in her house
work, and it takes away IL little of the
element of drudgery from the round of
household tasks. If two members en-

Women who do not thoroughly I'M
derstand the sewing machine often
blame the manufacturer when the
fault of stiff running can be traced to
not keeping the machine clean.
Most persons think that liberal doses
of oil are all that is necessary. Too
much oiling is injurious, and oil
where there has not been careful dust
ing is worse than none at all.
1t is not enough to give a surface
busting. The cracks and crevices
must be kept clean. This cannot be
done with cloth. Instead use a
coarse silk thread to draw back and
forth through cracks to get out fine
dirt that cannot otherwise be re-
moved
The work of cleaning machine is
lessened if a small bellows is kept in
one of the drawers and the fine lint,
threads and rawlings are blown out Of
the crevices. This should be done
every day that the machine is in USE
Care should also be taken that pins
and needles do not slip into the shut

clog it and the, cause cannot be dis
covered for some time.
1t is a mistake to use cheap oil, as
it cakes and makes the parts sticky.
Never let the machine stand uncov-
cred when not in use and guard care
fully from dampness.
Rubbing the running strap occasion
ally with a little vaseline or oil will
make the leather wear longer

BIRMINHAM, Ala. Nov. 30.-Ala-

ton by large majority, estimated at
from $4,000 to 10000 votes. While
several counties declared for prohibi.

never been called ON to pass on the
question direct.
In Birmingham the election was the
most exciting ever witnessed. Hun.
dreds OF people wer ecrowded around
the polling places, women and children
were singing and and brass bands sta
toned by the anti-amendment forces
wer eplaying patriotic airs.
Each polling place was enlivened by
its quota of fist fights. The vote was
heavy.
Farmers voted largely against the
amendment. Most of the large; coul.
ties went heavily against the measure
Oscar Hall, tax commissioners OF
Baldwin county, fell dead at his home
in Bay Minette, a few minutes after
voting for the amendment.
