Recompense

(BY FLORENCE E. B) Dear Dolly, quite in confidence I write to you today; Kind hearted, you will sympathize In all I have to say; In truth I well remember now Not many weeks ago, You brought before the public eye A similar tale of woe
 H. Whenever I'm invited out And wear my picture hat The big black one with willow plumes And fluffy ones at that. Some woman turns to say to me, You look quite well my dear, But, oh! the cunning little toque You wore this time last year." And when I weave a mass of curls Into my thinning hair I hear whisper just like this: My dear, you must take care The simple coiffeur Is your style, And you were quite the thing The time you wore the part and braid I think 1t was last spring." And yet no hint of this I heard When twined around my head l wore those classic coils and braids Which gleamed a furnished red And when I wore that little toque Oh, not a word of praise, Although it scarcely had rest Through all those winter days.
 V. And when I wear trailing gown That suits me best of all. Some one suggests a hobble s..art, Like that had last fall: And yet l know the hobble skirt Is not at all my style, Although I bought one, confess, And wore 1t for while.
 VI. The only thing that half consoles Is when the other sex Whate'er his age, whate'er his name, While paying his respects. Says with a comprehending glance And manner frank and free Somehow no matter what you wear, You sure look good to me-"
 VII. The smiles that light my beaming face Smooth every wrinkle out. It needs no cold cream or massage, To put them all to rout. No room is left within my heart For bitterness to stray But. oh the difference in mans And in woman's way! February, 1911.

izing the need of the child in this respect, Birmingham nothing laggard, thrcugl the women who compose the School Im- provement association, took the matter up five years ago, appointing a commit tee to investigate the question and re- port accordingily.
 Tn short time the committee appeared before the Board of Education petitioning that they be allowed to make the experl = ment and the word was passed that it would be done.
 Understand, it was allowed" to be tried, and with what result?
 just wish the people of Birmingham the mothers and fathers of the 1200 an l more children who attend the High school would pay a visit there at the lunch hour and see for themselves.
 It is a remarkable achievement and one worthy of emulation in all the schools, not only the Birmingham schools, but the schools throughout the south.

Struck by her pathetic loneliness and by beauty which revived so many tender memories, he asked her to be his wife Today the lady thus romantically found and won is one of the most popular lead CTS of Victorian society.

The Latest Shop Talk

The name "griddle greaser' explains it. self. This little utensil is made of cotton fabric, resembling lamp wick, on a wire frame and handle. It is equally conven- tent for greasng frying pans, cake ani pie tins.
 Even those who don't indulge will find a cocktail shaker useful-in making lem onade, for instance. milk shakes and other refreshing beverages. A small strainer in the top is an added convenience. Made of brass, plated with nickel, they are quite unique.
 | The housewife who glories in the beauty and fineness of the contents of her linen closet will find little to attract her ir paper towels. But they may appeal very strongly to the good man of the house. If he should happen to be a chemist or manufacturer machinist, engineer pho- tographer, llthographer or anything which means soiled or oily hands. The paper is almost as wide as ordinary toweling and Is highly absorbent.
 Be the housewife ever so vigilant and painstaking about keeping the pantry shelves clean, it Is nevertheless often inn possible to keep tiny rarauders out Of the flour where this is kept in T cotton sack or in a wooden barrel. This fact has led a benevolent inventor to origi- nate a flour sitter and holder combined made of durable white enameled ware. The sitter Is at tho bottom of the holder and turns with crank, emptying the flour into a scoop, beneath which ths housewife places her mixing bowl This sitter is an ornament to any pantry.
 
 Salt shakers with glass tops are trifies that appeal to the woman who does not own handsome silver-topped ones. They come in tasteful colonial patterns and are not out of place on the most beauti- fully appointed table.

 Everybody can grasp the fact that a school child, especially one that is all ready undernourshed, needs a midday meal. But not everybody knows that there are comparatively few children who can take for granted the daily sup plying of this need only that small per- centage, in fact, who come from comfort able, well ordered homes.

WILL BUILD RUSSIAN CANAL
Minimum Depth of Proposed Canal Be,
tween Black and Baltic Seas to
Be Fourteen Feet.

A committee has been formed at st
Petersburg to prepare for the con,
struction of a canal between the Black
Sea and the Baltic. The engineering
project, which has been prepared by
M. Rugetschel, is to build a canal
with a minimum depth Of IA feet. The
original project was to have a canal
IL feet deep, so as to allow the passage
OF large warships, but the government
rejected this on the ground that suf1-
Gent water could not be found to feed
such a canal.
The total length of the canal from
Riga to Kherson Is 201O versts, a verst
measuring 3,501 feet. OF this 485
versts would follow the bed Of the
West Dw1na from Riga to the village
of Breshenkovichi. From there the
canal would follow a new route for e5
%versts, joining the Dnieper at the town
of Kop1us. For the remaining 1920
versts the Dnieper would be utilized,
except at the rapids, where a new
canal would have TO be excavated.
The Dnieper would require dredging
1t many points. The Dwina would have
TO be made into a canal for it's entire
length and would require Is locks. The
water would be drawn from the Beresi-
ma by a canal 125 versts long.
The cost OF the canal is estimated at
Sl5O,OOo,O0O. The plan is to raise
money by bonds on the foreign market,
but to exclude foreigners from holding
any OF the share capital. The govern
ment is to be asked for a guarantee,
and only Russian labor, material and
machinery are to be used. The pro.
moters rely Q n e annual ven
