New York's Zip Not" Lunchroom.

For years past the wage of the work.
ing girl has stood at the average of Sc
a week There are unfortunately many
who do not earn that, but taking good
and bad together, Sc is fair average
The vital question Is, How is she to
live honestly on this sum-" The Wom-
ans Trade Union League of New York
has made an effort in that direction by
opening a restaurant on East Twenty
second street, New York, where good
luncheons are to be served at a cost that
girls can afford. 1t is not a charity in
any sense. 1t is intended and expected
that it will prove self-supporting and
demonstrate that appetizing food can
be furnished at a small price. There are
over boxes in the windows there is a
fireplace where q real fire will crackle
on cold days; there is blue and white
china, pleasing to the eye. One of the
secrets of the restaurant that will make
it possible for the working girl is the
fact that there are to be no tips, indeed
ii would be quite impossible, for the
mattresses receiving union rates, would
not accept them. and to call attention
to this the president of the league, Miss
Mary Drier thinks of naming this lunch
room, which it is hoped is the first of a
series. the Tip Springfield Re

To the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

o wounded Heart of wounded love!
To Thee we lift our song;
To Thee in tale of sorrow tell
What ills to life belong.
OH guide us DER life's dangerous path,
And brighten sin away;
And lead where virtues blossoms bloom
In the eternal day.
And whisper in temptations hour
o joys beyond the sky,
And teach our hearts to prize alone
What lives eternally.
And when the twilight shadows fall
Upon the silent sea,
The brightest beams that light our
dreams
Shall be our thoughts of Thee.

New England Enlightenment.

the church members in every state in
New England are Roman Catholic

Catholic; a per cent in Rhode Island

Fathers And thus Catholicity faces
New England enlightenment - and

thought by some backward folk that
enlightenment would cause the church
to wither and die. but it flourishes Wig
orously in enlightened New England.
IT is Puritanism that dies.

Advocate, know what they believe.

ACCEPTANCE OF SUFFERING.

The presence of suffering on the

Death, this was the threefold punish
raent sent by God for the first sin But
while suffering was inflicted by God as
q curse. il may be changed into a
blessing; for though man cannot es-
cape its all-pervading influence. yet he
can so use Iife's ills that they will
bring him nearer to that God from
whom he turned away by sin.
BY accepting the pains and disap-
continent which befall us and by sub
hitting our will to Gods in all our trials
we prove the sincerity of our sorrow
for past offenses. Many of our suffer
ings are sent as chistisements: we sin
easily, and lightly forget it. But God
never forgets; and it is because He
loves US that He gives US an opportu-
nifty to atone.
Besides this power of satisfaction.
acceptance of suffering wins us many
araces. 1t makes US Gods chosen
friends. 1t protects us from the allure

which accompany unmiXed prosperity.

A Beautiful Mouth.

The mouth is the most expressive
feature in the face.
1t is also the one which we have the
most power to change.
No matter how plain she may be, the
woman who is kindly and sympathetic
in the best sense, rarely has homely
mouth.
And the most beautiful face in tue
world, to start with, may be married
by a mouth that expresses discomfort
or hardness or peevishness.
We all know this, in a general way.
but few of us deliberately look into the
mirror to observe, with cold and i'm
personal gaze, the state of our own
mouths.

Do Your Part.

Do your part and God will help you;
Brother, try and try again;
Help yourself and He will aid you,
Be your Keeper and your friend
Never be discouraged, never;
Hold the weather in your heart;
Smile and keep on smiling ever,
Help another do his part.
Knock, believing you'll be answered;
ASK. and asking keep in mind
You will find what you are after
If you seek and seek to find.

En- FamiIIe.

Willie, little country boy, 6 years of
age, was taken one Sunday night to a
large city church, where he saw for the
first time a vested choir. To his moth
er's surprise and qualification, he not
only kept wide awake. but seemed
greatly interested in every part of the
service. At its close he turned to her
and said: II like this church; it is so
nice to watch the preacher when he
comes out with all his wives in their
nightgowns. "-Harper's Magazine.

Why Worry.

There is a Chinese saying: THE legs
of the stork are long. the legs of the
duck are short; you cannot make the
legs of the stork short, neither can you
make the legs of the duck long. Why
worry? If we would confine our eff
forts to those things which we can
change and let other things alone, VIC
should be more often at peace.

From broken boughs and withered

And clings to life with desperate will.

ExcusahIe.

Schooi children in Greater New York
were required some time ago to bring to
their teachers vaccination and birth GER
tificates. Frequent forgetfulness made
one teacher impatient, and word went
out that the certificates must be there
on a certain morning. On that day an
anxious little girl raised her hand the
moment school opened. and, on being
told to speak, said tremblingly:
Please, teacher, don't get mad at
me. I've forgot my excuse for being
born"

Nor heaven-soaring temple high,
Nor pealing hymns that pierce the sky

# Thou wilt hear with godly tru0

Nor human vows, nor clustered bands
Avail, unless the truth be there;
For Thou art spirit clear as air,

The outward word will serve as naught.

We kneel to Thee, in truth, apart,

In Time of Need.

Little Ned had been sent to the store
to buy two yards of cloth for his moth
er and was given the exact change
with which to pay for it. He bought
yard and a half of cloth and spent
the remainder of the money for candy.
When he reached home his mother
found only yard and a half of cloth,
and thinking he had forgotten, told
him to go back and get another half
yard with the remainder of the chang.
Ned started off rather reluctantly and
when he had got cut of sight of his
mother he knelt down behind the hedge
and prayed:
"Oh, poor devil, you got me into this

We Reap as We Sow.

Blame none but yourself for the woe,
For sometime, somewhere, you have
planted the tare,
And always we reap as we SOW.
When every day holds a full measure
OF joy and of peace and content,
IT'S because we are reaping some
treasure
That back in the past we have sent
On its mission of love and of kindness,
To find heart where it may grow;
The rule is quite just, and believe it
we must:
For always we reap as we SOW.
o, which would you gather, tomor-
The seed of contentment or woe,
The seed of forgiveness or sorrow
The seed that will kindle loves glow?

Will follow wherever we go:
And cruel or kind, we shall certainly

If he might take one peep into the

out whether or not Santa Claus had

He felt that he ought not to yield
