EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

She was attired magnificently-a
wonderful soft silk thing in the latest
shade and a hat with plumes atop the
deliberately waved structure of her
white hair. Her liveried footman held
the door of the cleansing shop open
for her, and her limousine waited
without.
She rustled up to the counter near
me and laid silk kimono upon it.
81 want that cleansed and I want it
as soon as possible. How much will
it be?"
The saleswoman examined it. "Three
dollars, L think, madame. There is
a good deal of lace upon it,
A frown contracted Madame's brow.
ooh, 1 really couldn't think of paying
that" she said. 1T will have to be
done so soon again, you know. Make
it two dollars and I will leave it,
Very well, madame said the
saleswoman, and the soiled heap of
silk and lace was duly tagged.
And why have 1 been telling you all
this? What's the moral?
Simply this-how many women with
one-tenth the money that woman had
out against an exorbitant price?
Only the rich can afford to be eco
nomical.
The poor must be needlessly extrav-
CANT to hide their poverty.
If the women of the middle class
or overcharged, just as this rich worn-
an did, we might not have quite so
much to complain about the high cost
of living.
Much is written about being kind
to shut-ins, going out of your way to
bring cheer and interest into their pale
lives.
Too much cannot be said along this
line But there is another closely al
ILL, t.
lected. And that is the opportunity to
help those who, while not shut in by
sickness, are almost as badly "cabined,
cribbed, confined" by the necessity of
constant attendance on other people
who are sick.
A woman wrote to me the other day
to tell me a case of this sort-not
at all, be it understood. in a COM
planning way, only feeling it might be
suggestive.

tendance necessary. and she is the only

AS a result she is absolutely chained
to the girls bedside. She doesn't re-
bel at that at all, being a true mother,

she realizes, 81 would like to feel free

willing to come and stay and let me

If you belong to this woman's
church, or know her, as perhaps you
do. I am sure you will give her the
opportunity for the occasional bit Of
freedom she Graves.
But if you don't know her, please
don't think you are thereby absolved
from giving some shut-in's shut-in at
tendant a few moments or few

won't fail to find the opportunity if

Ancient Trades Unions.

Seven thousand years ago there were
trades unions in Nineveh and Babylon,
and SO strict were their rules that il
some cases the penalty Of death was
inflicted for infringing them Each
mans work was strictly defined, and
even the number of hours that he was
allowed to work was stated in the
charter of his guild or union Later
exactly the same state of affairs ex-
listed in Pompeii, and inscriptions have
been discovered stating specific ap-
pointments of officials to trades unions.
The most powerful Of these appears to
have been the Fishermen's guild.

HOW GERMAN

This paramountcy of private prop

destroy the ugly. 1t can protect the
poor. 1t can educate as it will. 1t
can plan for the future. 1t can have
city dreams. And the German city
has dreams, dreams which are fast be

meisters are laying the foundations

tering the service he became a Gen
eral. From 1893 to 1898 he was in
charge of the permanent camp at AL
dershot and later he succeeded Lord
Roberts as commander in chief of the
forces in Ireland. A year later, in
1901. he became commander of the
Third army corps.
The Duke of Connaught has taken
great interest in provincial affairs and
was instrumental in Turthering the
plans for the new government in
South Africa. 1t has been generally
known that it was the intention If
the late King Edward to appoint the
Duke of Connaught as Earl Grey's
successor as soon as he returned from
South Africa next year.

are advertised to the public, after
which time they consider it a duty to
Immediately condemn the very same
