a lot of empty benches"
The speaker paused, glanced
around the circle of matrons, OBJ
served expectation in their faces and
went firmly on.
IT won't make a notion she
added, Eat 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
coffee? Weak coffee is better for the
nerves anyway"
'One-egg cake is very plain and
the men will stay away if we give
them poor coffee. Can we not have
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 a social engineer in church mat
tiers.

The demand of the present season
seems to be for skirts that are pleated
in one way or another. but there Is
nothing like sameness, nevertheless
and this one is graceful and novel
without being of excessive width. It
is trimmed effectively with straps and
can be used separately, or with bod
ice to match or as part of coat suit.
The lines are all long and graceful,
and the skirt is singularly effective.

The skirt is cut in six cores. There
are extensions below the trimming
straps which are laid in pleats and
pressed fiat, and the straps conceal
the seams above. The closing is made
invisibly at the left of the back.

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
new carpet or cushions or renovation

was to be raised or a mortgage de-
creased, the women went to work
with will, had fairs and bazaars.

or another managed to augment the
treasury by goodly sums Of money.
Centreville was famous for notable
housekeepers and good home cooking,
but when the periodical return Of
hard times swept the land over like a
chilling frost, the need OF frugality
sternly impressed on the poor man

consciences and impulses of the rich

have been spending instead of saving
money.

THE GOLDMAN AGITATION.

I is unfortunate for those who believe in
- muzzlng people on the assumption that
they are going to say something which chief
of police does not think is proper that the Phil
adelphia police come up as examples of defend
ers OF the community from the agitating moutli-
ers. The Philadelphia police are creatures of
a gang of political buccaneers who have as one
of their trophies Germantown editor languish-
ing in Jail because he dared to criticize them.
He is kept in Jail under an absurd sentence,
despite the protests of many of the leading men
of Pennyvania
The direct and only net result OF the commo-
ton over the Goldman woman in Philadelphia, is
day, Anarchists. Socialists, ,inhdes and the like
speak in Philadelphia every Sunday afternoon
and evening without let or hndrance, and
handful of people, the same people Sunday after
Sunday, listen to them.
During the last political campaign in Phila-
depha rabd Socialist orator addressed small
crowd in front OF the City Hall, using violent
language in one breath and declaring in an
other that the philadelphia Gang" was as good
a crowd Of men as ever lived Praise OF them
selves from so rabid speaker was evidently
sweet music to the ears of the Philadelphia poi-
ticians.
Perhaps the press agent of Emma Goldman IN
terested the gang in her behalf and got the po-
lice to make the hubbub over her.
If the Philadelphia police had really desired
to punish the woman and to put her out of the
way for a while, they could have waited until
She had spoken or started to speak. Then, had
she given vent to incendiary utterances or
broken the law, she could have been arrested
and locked up and properly punished as a warm
ing to others.
AS the Sunday Star says, speakers should be
held strictly accountable for the abuse of the
freedom OF speech.

HELP THIS CAUSE.

HE people of New Jersey are waging a
vigorous war against tuberculosis. Their
association was formed later than ours but it
seems TO be very active. Under the direction
OF the Legislature, Governor Fort appointed
State tuberculosis Commission which is to con-
duct campaign to arouse interest in the mat
ter. Meetings are to be held in all parts Of the
State. Much of the work of the commission will
be educational. And this educational effort will
be especially valuable.
The commission will repeat time and again its
advice and counsel in the form Of lectures-the
wise plan--for any one familiar with nAuenc-
ing public sentiment knows that thing has to
be repeated over and over again if public sent-
ment is to be created. What is said
day passes out OF the minds OF people the next,
OF often the moment afterward and thus the
repetition is necessary.

A true statement this is.
The other day we printed something from the
address of Mr.. Strauss the noted philanthropist,
who shows that Notwithstanding the great fight
waging against tuberculosis, the percentage OF
the disease as compared with other fatal dis
eases has increased slightly.
In New Jersey an expensive sanitarium has
been provided for the treatment of the i'll, but
as the Trenton Times points out this sanitarium
can care for only small percentage of those
afflicted. The thousands who cannot receive
such treatment must be taught how TO care for
themselves The gospel of fresh air, sunlight,
cleanliness, and nourishing food must be
preached
OF course it is gratifying to know that in Del
