That it's time persons of your ad-

"WeIl, nv dears," she answered u.s.

aroused by her own graphic recital of
her advice to the full horror of her
offense. "She didn't; Roderick is the

again? She'll never forgive me and
once we promised each other that
whoever was married first would have

"Oh, cheer up" urged the lady-who-
always knows-somehow She'll for

Sure said the cynic. Anyhow
she probably just thinks you said all
that because you were jealous and
wanted to go in for Roderick what's

A club that has taken the lead in
the work of identifying the town, is
the West Side Forestry Club, which
was organized eight years ago. The
club was much discussed and written
about at the time of its organization
when it set out to reclaim the land
which is now Willow Park. The MEM
bers of the club prevailed upon the
council to condemn the land for park
purposes, appraiSe and purchase the
property, and levy tax for its i'm
provement. The club was organized
by Mrs. w. A. Johnston at an after
noon party at her home, and the mem
bership was limited to the women of
the First Precinct of the Sixth ward
and to the women who had homes on
the West Sixth Road as far as five
miles in the country. The interest in
the club was so wide that it became
necessary to so restrict the number of
members. Those who have served as
president of the club are Mrs. John
ston, Mrs. D. H. Forbes. Mrs. Walter
Bates and Mrs. F. G. w. Travis Mrs
Johnston was chosen to act as presi-
dent again this year. The club raises
money by various forms of entertain
ment for its work. One year they
gave a chrysanthemum exhibit and
sale; they have brought two well
known lecturers herei ana last faIl
they had an indoor picnic. They are
planning a new form of entertainm ent
for the spring season. but have not
vet decided what the scheme will be.
Last year their park fund amounted
to $325.00, and the money was used
for the erecting of the east entrance
to Willow Park and the rest room at
the north end of the park. The club
also contributes to tho scholarship
fund of the federation, and to other
objects of general interest. Their en-
Urgency fund supplies the money for
these additional expenses.

Thursday with Mrs. D. H. Forbes at

Mrs G. A. Huron is making an
effort to interest club women in the
work OF providing some wholesome
and enjoyable form of entertainment
for the girls who are employed as
domestics and factory hands and
others who are not employed at all.
The girls that Mrs. Huron has in mind
are those who are very young, whose
mothers are obliged to be away from
home working, and who are in a
measure, adrift Many of these girls
are in the sewing and cooking classes
of the ProVident Association, and they
are in need of some social life, and
Isome entertainment in which they,
themselves, have a part. The idea is
somewhat different from that en-
Iployed in giving entertainment for the
, Mothers Club. The purpose in this
case is to have the girls take an active
part instead of being merely specta-

meeting a new choice of officers was
made. as some of those who had been
elected at a previous meeting found
that it was impossible for them to
serve. Mrs. Johnston was made presi-
dent in place of Mrs. J. Close, who vas

of poor health, but who consented to
act as vice-president. Mrs. E. e.
Roudebush was chosen as secretary

The following topics of vital i'm
portance are suggested for subjects of
study by clubs who are looking for
topics of live interest in the everyday
life of their members and those whom
they may influence. These subjects
might be taken up in connection with
literary programs, giving, perhaps, one
paper at each meeting, or possibly one
meeting out of every three or four, to
the study Of some of these matters:
The care of the body. Laws of

Tie absent minlcdncss Of a clcr-
gman, temporarily in charge of a
leading Belfast church, was rcspon-
sible for a singular dilemma in
which a bridal party was placed the
other day. The ceremony was fixed
for nine o'clock a. m, and punctu-
ally Mt that hour the bridal party ar
rived. the church, one Of the most
spacious in ireland, being by this
time filled with relatives and friends
Of the contracting parties. The sex
ton was in attendance, but no cler-
gyman. After a lapse Of an hour,
anxiety gradually gave way to a
feeling Of alarm. The bride swooned
twice. Eventually a hurried tele-
phone call brought the truant cler-
gyman, who, almost two hours late,
was profuso in his apologies for his
absent mindelnoss.
