AS each month comes with it's charms
/ think what a glorious time for
wedding" but June with it's wealth OF
roses, its freshness of green and all
the frilly frocks that go with the be-
brides very own month
This description of party given by
twenty four girls for a bride-elect is
certa.n My just the thing that a number
of our readers want. There is moth
ing especially new, but it was all car
ried out so beautifully.
The girls knew that ''Dolly's" room
in the new house" was to be in pink,
so what do you think this was? A
furnishing bee" They didn't know
what else to call it. The hostess took
the bride-elect shopping with her and
adroitly selected lovely rose cretonne
apparently for herself. When the girls
came each brought a pink rose for
Dolly" then the hostess said she had
work for all, as she needed help in
what had proved to her too great an
undertaking for one person.
AS if by magic everyone set to work,
pins, scissors, thimbles, paste, tacks
and boxes all were on hand and the
bride-elect remarked all unSuspecting
that when she went to housekeeping
she thought she would have just that
kind of a party and get her room fur
nished. Two sewing machines were at
hand and the hostess mother offered
her services at stitching long seams.

Their path was twined with Di''er-
sweet. it did not run through
clover
The maiden's tresses raven were, mel
cheeks a lovely rose,
She wore fine ladyslippers, to warm her
small pink toes.
Her poppy was an elder, who had
mint of gold.
An awful old snapdragon, to make one
blood run cold!
His temper was like sour grass, his
daughters heart he wrung.
With words both fierce and bitter, ne
had an adder's tongue.
The lovers hair was like the flax OF
pure German type,
He wore Dutchman's breeches, he
smoked a Dutchman's pipe.
He sent her buttercups by the pound
and choices wintergreens.
She painted him get-me-nots, the
bluest ever seen,
He couldn't serenade her Within tht
nightshade dark,
For every thyme he tried it, her faith
ers dogwood bark!
And 80 he set certain day to meet
at four o'clock.
Her face was pale as snoWdrops, e'eI
whittier than her frock.
The lover vowed he'd pine and de !
she should say him no,
And then he up and kissed her beneath
the mistletoe.

The girl with plenty of money and
no leisure is fully as badly if not
worse off than her sister with plenty
of leisure and no money.
That's why the girl who has lived at

self with, finds she has but jumped

She goes to work and earns the money
for pleasures but has no time to en-
joy them.
My next door neighbor shows the
same common sense in the manage

who of her own choice accepted the
smaller salary. She is skillful with
her needle. Her childrens clothes and
her own might be the most beautiful
and elaborate in the neighborhood. 81

Modern life is too complex. We want
too much.
Almost all the world admits and de-
plores these facts.
But rare indeed is the man or wom-

Happiness does not consist merely
in many possessions. So far as it
comes from material things at all, hap
piness consists in an even balance be-
tween possessions to enjoy and leisure
in which to enjoy them.

Senator Perkins wrote to the secre-
tary, protesting against the decision to
close the station and declaring the
present immigration quarters, in par
ticular the detention shed for orientalss
to be disgrace to the government and
such that only Chinese would consent
to stay therein.
He suggested that If the appropria-
tions were not sufficient to meet the
expense of maintaining the new station
a portion of the head tax ON immigrants
gathered at this port might be diverted
to that use.
In reply, Secretary Nagel said that
the limited appropriation would not all
low the opening of the station until the
need for 1t became greater, namely,
when the Panama canal were opened
and European immigration headed this
way He said the condition of the de-
tention shed was a matter that should
be taken up with the Pacific company,
rather than the department.
The senator lost no time in replying,
quoting literally from reports of yari-
GUS government officials who have in
vestigated conditions here, and strengly
urging the opening of the new station.
To this the department replied 1t had
no data which supported the conten-
lions of the senator as to the need for
more ample quarters. concluding with
the statement that the inspector gem
eral of immigration would come to tho
coast to investigate during the present
year.

BIG LOSSES IN LAST YEAR
Demands of Employees and Financial

Main Reasons

as compiled by the bureau of railway
news and statistics, was made PUBIC
here today. 1t says:
INSTEAD of a decrease of only $l64,-
464, 941 in gross earnings as the result
of the temporary financial depression
of 1907-0S, as set forth in the prellm-
mary income report of the interstate
commerce commission for the year
ended June 30, 1908, the panic Of 1907
resulted in a loss of more than $780,
000,0 00."
The loss in net earnings is $129,540,-
46O, instead Of Sill ,0O6. as given in
the commissions statement.
The 2-cent passenger fare legislation
caused a loss of $25,0OO,O00 in gross
earnings, although more passengers
were carried.
The heavy loss in net earnings Is
partly accounted for by the expenditure
of approximately 32,0O0,00O, necessi-
tated by arbitrary innovations in az
counting methods and requirements in
regard to the hours and conditions OF
labor of certain classes of employees.
