should make their own meat inspection
and hearing that this measure was to
be defeated went to Lansing to speak
in it's defense. She was given the priv
ilege of the floor and the bill was
passed by vote OF 81 to 16.
Miss Bennett tells a characteristic
episode which occurred when Mrs.
Crane was called 20 Scranton, Pa, and
inspected the Hillside home, a COM
bined almshouse, orphanage and in
sane asylum. The people were very
proud of this institution; they took
Mrs. Crane to view it and awaited her
commentator.
Mrs. Crane entered the clean rooms,
looked at the immaculate beds and
turned down one of the sheets. The
top sheet was the only sheet upon it.
She looked at the clean faces and hands
of the sick and then asked to see the
feet of the patients. When the feet
were uncovered the people of Scranton
turned their heads.
1.-THE following afternoon Mrs. Crane
addressed a meeting of citizens at the
Paoli theater. She told the people of
Scranton that their poor board was in
adequate, that one woman filed eight
offices on their board of charities, that
more care was given to their buildings
than to their people. that one physician
attended the entire poorhouse, includ-
ing 44O insane; that one nurse cared
for the sick. aged, inf1rm, and for the
children at the home as we'll; that the
public school was insanitary and bad
ly cleaned. and that the fire drill was
farce. The people of Scranton APP
plauded, the poor board sat purple with
anger. and the mayor remained I'M
moved. The next morning the men,
bers of the poor board waXed indig-
nant. Mrs Crane was called med
dler, an impertinent person forcing her
wav into their own affairs"
The papers sided with Mrs. Crane,
however. and the end of that contro-
versv was that the poor board got
speedily to work and did some effec-
tive housecleanire Of its own to hold
its several jobs.

MOTOR COATS

Somber colors. it has been said, are
to be the rule for the fall and winter,
but this does not mean that the fair
sex is going to be seen in dismal at
tire. On the contrary. there is now
a richness and warmth of tone in
everything provided for woman's use
or adornment. including even the
heavy cloths intended for the building
of her most severe garments. that has
probably never been euualed before.
One of the shops is showing a num-
Der of motor coats from across the
water that are most interesting as
study If col = besides beino remark
able for the S'na tness of their lines.
There are many beautiful green's and
browns used either separately or to-
gether. Brown mixtures have trim
mings of plain brown cloth or of green
and 6srk green's are set off bv collars
and revers u 3 brighter shade of the
same color.
Green and violet were .'He colOrs
used in one model but both were n
tones so soft and unobtrusive that
they could not be said to contradict
the dictum in regard to somberness.
The green formed the main part OF
the garment, while the violet lined the
hood that was one of it's striking fea-
lures and extended around to the front
to form large revers. AT a point lit
tie above the waistline the back was
held in by strap in which the green
and violet were combined.
Some coats in doub1e-faced plaid
cloths are exceedingly attractive They
are straight and square as to cut, and
most of them are noticeably narrow at
the bottom, which adds to their chic
effect. Those in white barred with
pale blue and gray and trimmed with
the reverse side of the cloth or with
plain cloth in a pale blue are charm
ingly delicate in color.-New York

which can be worn on the day of the
wedding.
The display of presents at the re-
ception is optional, but in any case
the cards of those who have sent the
presents should be removed.
At church wedding the doors of the
building should be opened and the
ushers ready to receive the guests
about quarters of an hour be-
fore the ceremony. Each usher
should have a typewriter list of the
relatives and intimate friends of the
bride and groom which he must study
before the day of the wedding. An
other plan frequently followed is for
the bride and groom to. go carefully
over the lists and arrange for certain
persons to be seated in certain pews.
The numbers of the pews and names of
those who are to occupy them at the
ceremony are then given to the ush-
ers.
The style of decorations for both a
church and a house wedding must de-
pend largely upon the taste of the
bride and also on the amount of money
which can be spent.
At house wedding there should be
either a small altar with flowers
massed back of it or merely masses
of ported plants and cut flowers at
the end of the room where the bridal
party are to stand. A prize dieux or
two cushions for the bridal couple to
kneel on should be placed in front of
the space where the clergyman is to
stand.

Editor of The Bulatin:- II have

the president of the Social Purity
League refuting the statement made
by Attorney Warder and the conse-

forth by "A Retired Capitalist" in

has been forthcoming and so many

ed me to make a statement permit
me to state that Attorney Warder
|reqnesed the committee of the league
to confer with him in reference to
two propositions his clients, property
owners on Thirteenth street, wished
ito submit to the league. l. e.
1st That the Thirteenth street
property owners as a quasi organiza
|tion would be glad to cooperate with
tine league in cleaning up Thirteenth
street and would like the assistance
|of the league in securing respectable
tenants.
I'd. That If the property owners
would agree to clean up themselves
would the league not use its influence
ito have the indictments qua he'd.
To the first it was replied that

would be welcome by the league, but

street would have to clean up to con-,
form to the law there was no reason

Bition from the property owners in

MUSIC IN SCHOOLS
HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD CHILD
IN SCHOOL GIVE TO THIS
BRANCH?
Paper Read Before Cairo Woman's
Club Saturday BY Mrs. White
--chldren's Day at
The Club.

1t was Children's Day, Saturda.
afternoon, at the meeting of the Cairo
| Woman's club and many of the pupils
of the schools We're present to hea
the interesting program. Among Thu
excellent papers was one read by
| Mrs. Anna Goldstine White entitled
How Much Time Should a Child il
School Give to Music?" part of which
is here presented, az follows:
This is the broadcast question
have ever heen asked and the
ANSWER might be as numerous as the
different compartments of the chill
dren, their habits, health and even the
arrangements Of their mothers house
hold affairs may be involved. How.
ever, taking the majority as a cri-
terion and the average child as the
subject. certain rules may be laid
down as a foundation for the sue
cessful study Of the divine art.
For you have all heard that
CT all the arts beneath the heaven
That man has found or God has
given;
None draws the soul so sweet away
As music's mystic melting lay;
Slight emblem of the bliss above,
1t soothes the spirit all to love.
Every action in life consumes time
THIS fact simple as 1t is should
teach us to economic the minutes,
to be thrifty with the hours. The
time of life Is given us that we may
perform our duties; these multiply
daily appeal to us.
Some sing merrily. Live is end
less. Yes, but not for us, as we
travel the way of life but once. Who
suffers If we fail to find the golden
treasure OF the hours?
We begin life with time account.
Time Is the capital. We draw upon
it continually, lessening the quantity
with every passing moment. Eight
hours for work, eight hours for play,
eight hours for sleep. is saying old
and wise, Thereby we surrender one
third of life to nature and two-thirds
to self. We need time for further
rest than sleep will grant, for gaining
livelihood, for learning to be a good
citizen, a good man or woman, a good
orker In one field or another; for the.
duties that fall to the lot
Of each of us.
Let US designate your music as
chosen work and for this only al
small portion of the twenty-fourl
