Anna Margaret had a great many toys,
and her mother thought she ought to give
some Of them away before Christmas to
less foTtunte children. Anna Margaret
was willing to part with the broken trunk
and the cracked set of dishes and the one
legged teddy bear. and a few other toys
that were in the same dilapidated oOndi-
ton. But when IL came to her pet baby
doll, the one that went to sleep with her
every night, she rebelled. Mother assured
her that Santa Claus would undoubtedly
bring her another doll, even better; but
she refused to be comforted.
Mother" she walled, IF God sent Aunt
Jessie another baby, would she give Baby
Jean away?" She kept her doll.

She Wns q teal Orator.

Senator Beverage during a recent visit to
Portland, Ore, talked about oratory.
The campaign he said, 'has given us
oratory more remarkable for quantity than
quality. True oratory is that which brings
results, is that which converts an audience
Of enemies to an audience Of supporters.
Such oratory Is rare.
Il have a friend whose wife, a ~'suffra-
gette,' is a great orator. Her speeches from
the platform are wonderful. and her hus-
hand the other day gave me an illustration
OF the efficiency Of her private speeches.
An agent called on my wife this after

Collect for Club Women.

The following prayer was delivered at
the opening of a women's club meeting
at Saginaw, Mich:
Keep us, o God, from p~ettiness; let US

Let us be done with fault-finding and
leave off self-seeking.
May we put away ali pretense and meet
each other face to face, without self-pity
and without prejudice.
May we be never hasty In judgment and

Teach US to put into action our better

Let us take time for all things: make
us grow calm, serene, gentle.

The Woman Boss OF Denver.
In the issue Of Harper's Weekly for
December 26 Alfred DamOn Runyon de-
scrIbes the remarkable personality and
accomplishments Of Anna Margaret Scott
who devotes her spare tine, when she IL
not busy upon her ranch, to being "boss'
of the Fourteenth ward of Denver. She
runs the ward primaries" says the au-
thor, "as we'll as the ward conventions,
and dictates who shall be alderman and
who shall 60 to the county and state
conventions, and generally onducts politi-
cal affairs in the four miles of the Four
teenth ward and her own precinct, ter
rtorlally the largest in the city," Many
efforts have been made to depose Mrs.
Scott from her supremacy, but they have
all failed, by virtue of the feminine vote
which she carries with her on polling
days. on one occasion an attempt was
made to undermine her authority through
the formation of a women's club, from
which Mrs. Scott was to be excluded.
The boss Immediately established a
rival club in the same building, with the
same rules and regulations, which brought
about the dissolution OF the original Or
ganlzation in general ridicule.

Everything is built in with cement,

which has been pronounced by experts to

house is Of stone, while the upper part
is built Of wood, metal and glass: the

Liberty for Turkish pine
Various newspapers are busy telling ex-
actly how the revolution and growth of
new ideas in Turkey is to affect women.
But do they know? OF course, there will
be changes, and there seems TO be no
doubt that the enveloping veil. for long
greatly objected to by the more intelli-
gent women, who saw in 1t merely a
badge of servitude, will be cast aside by
most. 1t is prophesied that women will
no longer remain In tightly closed houses
shut out from air because of their Sc
clusion. The wealthy have long dressed
in the extreme Of Partisan fashions-not
that they have dared to display them In
the public street, but who Is authority
that they will not add the milliners' con-
lection of a hat, while riding out? Those
who say this add that the head of the
Turkish lady when taking the air will. at
least for q while, be entirely enveloped
In "a sort of hood attached to the neck
of her dress or coat, and made of the
same material" Perhaps so. It is also
stated as a fact that with their present
liberty of action and the changes in the
minds of their husbands, who are dis
posed to adopt new ideas of all kinds,
Turkish wives will probably travel abroad
with their husbands, and Turkish am
bassadors will be accompanied by their
families.
