WOman's Work for Temper
ance.

When we think of woman's work
in any department, we naturally
think her work begins in her
home and many times we i'm
agine it must be confined to the
house. But the home has forever
ceased to be the sole sphere of
woman's activities. 1t is the ex-
ceptional woman who is not
identified with one or more or
sanizations of religious activity or
social betterment.
1t is in the missionary meeting,
the club, the ladies' society, the
Sunday School where woman may
do most effective temperance work,
provided she has the knowledge,
the courage and the zeal to i'm
prove her opportunities.
With the increasing publicity
given to the drunken orgies of
men and women on New Years
eve in city restaurants and hotels,
it behooves Christian women to
maintain a standard in society
that shall put beyond the pale of
decency any participant in the
orgies described by the secular
press.
How can this social standard be
maintained? That women de-
termine standards in society is be-
You'd question. That Christian
women ought to lead in the es-
tablishment of right standards is
equally unquestionable. Too often
the social atmosphere of wealth
impregnated with wine and
champagne drinking, cigarette
smoking and card playing, makes
moral towards of women. They
are overcome instead OF overcom-
ing, and frequently the cause OF
this cowardice on the part oil
women is a lack of specific infor-
nation necessary to defend hel
position for total abstinence from
alcoholic liquors and other mar
cotics. There are hundreds Of
valid reasons, moral, social, eco
nomic, physiological and psy-
Geological, but she does not know
them, or knows them in SO vague
a way that she is not sure of heI
ground or the authority she thinks
she ought to cite, and so is silen'

While this is not true of al
Christian women, it is alas TIT
truth concerning untaught thou

missionary society ought to have
a temperance secretary, a crank i

In his time Mills was a figure that
Washington people were fond of
pointing out to strangers. Tall,
straight as an Indian, and of COM

was high, broad and full and he comb

His nose was straight. He wore a
mustache and goatee. His face was
full and his complexion fair. Senator
Mills preferred boots to shoes, went
about in the double breasted frock
coat affected by statesmen, preferred
low turnover collars and black string
ties and appeared always in spotless.

spectacles and disliked jewelry. His
