The care of her children was al
ways uppermost in the mind of Mrs,
Courtney and a number of selections,
both in prose and poetry, graced the
walls of the room in which her little
boys slept, all neatly framed and
tending to impress their minds with
the duty of right living. Here is one,
from a well-known writer, which was
particularly prominent:
To My Son.

Temperance Notes.

In Pocomoke City, on the eastern
shore of Maryland, local option is now
prevailing.
Deliver US from our fool friends
that is what the liquor people
might we'll pray for in the opinion OF
the Portland Evening Express.
With the Prohibitionists and Anti
Saloon League working together, both
in local and general movements, there
is every reason why much practical
prohibition of the liquor traffic should
be brought about.
It would seem to q visitor from an
other planet that the prominent occu-
nation of the modern world was to
make, and to sell, and to consume in
toxicating drinks.
Too long have temperance people
been pulling away from each other on
questions of policy, while the liquor
mer have been solid in their oDposi-
ton to everything which stood in the
way of their business.
The United Mine Workers, Thomas
l.. Lewis says, prohibited their mem
bers from selling intoxicants, even at
picnics. Education of the masses, he
argues, will go a long way toward
graduating the liquor traffic.

The newly consecrated life, glowing

The real truth is we never feel

Silver and White.

A lovely evening hat is of white
beaver in a large shape, with an up
turned brim at the left side. Curving
over the crown is a graceful willow
plume, which is large enough to cover
entirely the crown at the front and
sides. And here is the attractive
touch: at the side on the brim are
two tiny mercury wings Of silver
braid. So small are they in contrast
with the large hat that they have
flown into notice. The combination
of silver and white is less flashy and
decidedly more elegant than white
