The fate of the Paris Civic League
is up to you. You are asked to back

tent OF one dollar for one year and

cess. give yourself a chance to be
shown. 1t is unfortunate that every
body can't know the calls that came to
tine league the instant it was known
that an organization existed, interest
ed in such appeals.
The reported condition of certain
back yards is appealing, certainly un-
dreamed Of By the league organizers
Up Days." but didn't realize their
extreme necessity till concrete in
stances were reported. confdentially
of course.
The most popular plan proposed by
the league is the children's play
ground and the committee in charge
ask for suggestions as to locations and
for bids from owners to lease or sell
the necessary ground.
Sewer connections are reported lack
ing in certain places. Surely Paris has
suffered enough from typhus in III
past to need no further warning. 1t
may be your family next. The atten-
ton of the league has been called to
certain matters affecting food santa
ton. Then We have been asked to
build a hospital. buy a park, start a
Y. M. c. A., take down fences, build
bridge and plant trees. But the
most astonishing thing is this. After
we have listened with great courtesy
and interest to these suggestions, &C.
casionally practical. and say, "Of
course you will join the league and
help do these things" We get some
thing like this: why no, / have s,
much else to do. ! can't join, but it is
splendid move and I'll help you all i
can" When told that if they la OK
time for the work. their name and a
dollar will still prove very pleasant
help. The disillusioned citizen les US
now he las been in the Hospital guild
and Commercial Club. and we will
have to make good before he risks his
coin. 1t is easy to see the utter i'm
possibility of making good" under
such circumstances. Don't tell the
next person who asks you to join the
Ieague tnat you wish him luck, just
say how much you wish it. This is a
business proposition not a matter OF
sentiment.
Seriously. the league now has
eighty-five members and we cannot
call the organization a success until al
least five hundred are enrolled. Ger.
tainly effective work for whole towr
cannot be done by less than ten pei
cent of that towns citizens. Solicit
ing isn't pleasant work at best and sc
the committee wishes to urge you il
you are interested-a whole dollar
worth-in this matter. you will give
your name to Miss Kate Alexander
treasurer. or DR.. j. I. Vansant. secre
tary. of the league. With your helK
we are assured we will get what we
go after we lcan Ionly take what is
coming 10 us. The names of contribu

The quiet faithful way in which a
woman often of superior intellect,

will dish-wash all her life away for
her husband and children, is a mar
vel of patient endurance. Here the
serN itude of woman Is the heayiest.
No sooner is her work done than IL
requires to be done over again. Men
take contracts of work on them, fin
ish them, and they are over for all
time. The prospect of ending them
and drawing pay for the labor is al
Turing. And woman's work holds no
such promise She washes on Nor
day after Monday the same garments
until there is no more of them to
wash; then they are replenished by
new ones like old, and the rubbing
