The Low-Backed Car

GA Modern Version Of an Old SoNs) When first I got the back-ache Twas on a summer day, A low-backed car I sat within And rode *upon my way; But when that way extended far On seats without a spring, No pain is there that can compare ith the ache of which I sing, As l sat in the low-backed car. The man at the entrance bar First took up the toll,
 As I grabbed at the pole, AS l entered the lowbacked car. I'd like to own that car, sir, Then soon along the side You'd find seats four, and backs galore, Placed erosswlse, side by side; And ladies would sit forninst me, On cushions made with taste, And no longer I'd have to suffer With the ache around my waist. As we'd ride in a HIGH backed car To be carried so long and so far, Oh, my heart would beat high, And I never would sigh For sight of this Iow-backed car.
 M. E. Cornell.

Prayer for Women Who Foil

By Walter Rauschenbusch
 Oh God we pray Thee for our sisters who are leaving the ancient shelter of the home to earn their wage in the fac tory amid the press of modern life. Save them from the strain of unremitting toll that would unfit them for the holy duties of home and motherhood which the future may lay upon them. Give them grace to cherish under the new surroundings the old sweetness and gen. tleness of womanhood, and in the rough mingling of life to keep their hearts pure and their lives untarnished. Save them from the terrors of utter want. Teach them to stand Loyalty by their sisters, that by united action they may better their common lot.
 If it must be so that our. women toll like men, help us still to reverence in them the mothers of the future. But make us determine to shield them from unequal burdens that the women of our nation be not drained of strength and hope for the enrichment of a few, lest our homes grow poor in the wifely sweet ness and motherly love which have been the saving strength and glory of our country, To such as yearn for the love and sovereign freedom of their own home grant in due time the fulfilment of their sweet desires. By Mary, the beloved, who bore the worlds redemption in her bosom by the memory of our own dear mothers who kissed our souls awake; by the little daughters who must soon go out into that world which we are now fashioning for others, we be- seech Thee that we may deal alright by a II women

The Art of Flushing

That the art of blushing, woman's most demure but most fascinating attribute has been lost is the most recent and sensational assertion Of the Rev. Her bert s. Johnson, pastor of the Warren avenue Babtist church, Boston.
 The Rev. MT. Johnson says the reason woman has lost the ability to suffuse with blushes Is because of the constant rear association of men and women en- tailed by the rush of modern life.
 Industrial conditions have driven the bushes from the faces of our girls" says the Rev. Mir. Johnson. '"The con. stant association with men in offices, stores and factories has made girls self possessed. Under ordinary circum- stances the ordinary girl finds once she goes into business that coquetry is not part of her duties.
 Again the statement is made that 1 per cent of the maidens who receive a proposal of marriage run away to tell their friends. What is an engagement for If one cannot tell about it's Half the fun and excitement of getting married would be left out if one could not be congratulated and given parties and talked about. No conditions ever changed or ever will change woman's delight in telling secret '

Milady's Correspondence

Tn writing letters there are. :. ssw things that should be remembered and carefully observed in every walk of 1 life. Business letters must be concise and clear. because business people are sup posed to be busy.
 No letter is complete without the date.
 Tn writing to solicit employment of any kind. on no account should per- sonal perpleXities bN mentioned. The world is full of unfortunate persons. and to stranger the troubles of one are no more than those of a host of others.
 Letters of introduction are left open when written.
 Elaborately ornamental note paper. as well as highly perfumed notes are vulgar.
 When answering letters remember:
 That written words stand as ever- lasting witnesses.
 That an ambiguous sentence is like ly to be misinterpreted.
 That friendly words never harm.
 That written word of sympathy can sometimes do much good.
 That a letter written in a kindly spirit should be answered in the same way, even though the message is dis liked.
 That business letters and invitations must be answered at once.

that Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House, put up for woman suffrage at the Wom- ans University club. Miss Addams men, toned certain economic and social evils still prevalent in the world that would be removed if women had the vote And no doubt they would be if all the women were as intelligent, progressive and morally earnest as Miss Addams. There can be no doubt that it is wasteful to spend $1700 a charge to fire salutes, of
 that the double standard for men and
 women practising the social evil reeks
 with injustice. or that the employment of women and children is sometimes un-
 wise and sometimes inhuman. A great many other features of the government of civilized countries might be cited as gross evils. Unquestionably the average voter lacks perspective. He fails to ap- preciate the relative importance of things. For the average intelligence of voters-and their average sense of re- sponsibiity-is lowered by the ignorance of the ignorant and the Responsibility of the irresponsible. And still there are thousands of men who would bring about the reforms Miss Addams advocates as quickly as she would if they could.
 Taken by and large, the moral sense of women may be more keen than that of men That they suffer from the vices, cruelties, ignorance, malice and apathy or men, there Is no doubt. Being more dependent economically. they feel the bad results. Of these things more than the more independent men. To certain phases of national life they could, no doubt, bring a quckening impulse, and notwithstanding the great number of ig- norant, immoral and apathetic women, very likely they would. But whether they can do more with the vote than without it Is still an open question that must be considered more or less ab- stractly until the experiment is made.

bishness and pride of Municipalities that are ridiculous even in Europe and utterly idiotic in America.
 If you have ever seen a foolish little pug-nosed dog, sitting up in state on the seat of a carriage that is being driven down a fashionable avenue, and looking with contempt on the mangy dogs that go nosing along the gutter, you can un- derstand what snobbishness really amounts to.
 A man who has fought his, way up to any position of responsibility has a shadow of right to be pround of his achievement though he seldom enter tains any such feeling.
 But the individual who thrust into prominence by accident of birth by favor. or by chance fools himself utterly if he indulges in any self-congratulation be- cause of his station.

 White hyacinths for your soul?" Peggy echoed.
 "She may fish,, as the vulgar say, with fattery-but to me, that simply shows that she knows something about bait, replied Peggy. Have you ever thought about how few of us love the people we ought to love? Those who are close to us-who profess undying affection for us (after we are dead)? They are never the ones who say lovely, comforting things to us that we could hand down for gener- ations.''
 Nancy began to brush her shiny locks and listen more attentively.
 Its true as gospel" said Peggy. "If 1t weren't for the flattery of honey -tongued acquaintances very few of us could stand the home truths handed out by our best frends-and our families. Flattery. my dear Nancy, is the oil of appreciation that we bind on the faithful wounds of friend
 Wasn't 1t old Diognese, who said, that of wild animals he considered the sander CT the most dangerous, while of tame ones-the flatterer?' asked Nancy du- biousy.

 Maybe it does to some peoples" Nancy declared, "but it goes deeper with me.

Of Interest to the Summer
 Bride

The bride who expects to be married in church may express her individ- uality in the churchly decorations just as we'll as in the adornments of her own home. In fact, the possibilities for orig inal and picturesque effects are almost infinite, with the mysterious background. Its weet dignity and ethereaism to lend high lights While of course the ser vices of professional florist must be called for srch an occasion. the bride may offer suggestions. and thus express her own taste.
 There is a peculiar impressiveness in all white church decorations. They give an atmosphere of purity and spiritual ity that is the soul of the marriage ser- vince
 One interior for a fashionable wed- ding planned by pretty bride has great clusters of bride roses held aloft by pillars of white lilacs and fern leaves. Aspray of palm leaves will add to the height of the clusters. which will be ar ranged at intervals along the center aisle Along the side aises will be pill lars and clusters of Ascension lilies and arches will have masses of lilies and southern smilax topping their pillars White llacs are to be banked against the church rail. The altar will be bower of palms, with bride roses and valley lilies.

not to go home when the time comes for them to go.'
 Somebody has said that f1attery is un- wholesome food for our self-love" Nancy remarked.
 But I like it." said Peggy. '"As for my self I never grumble at a check for a meal that satisfies me. Flatterers may be | like walters with their palms fixed al an angle for a tip, but if they feed me when I'm hungry-give me white hyacinths for my soul when I need them, why they are welcome to all my small change"
 Let me tell you little story" Peggy lcontinued When 1 was a child I was the very ugiest, most hideous, creature that ever lived. I was as thin as fence rail and absolutely unbeautiful What I wanted to be more than anything in the world was-pretty. There was girl who sat back of me at school named Mary Tabb. She was the village pariah; none of the other girls would haveN anything to do with her; but I liked her. In fact I lloved her I used to share my lunch with | her, which was a sure proof of my love. | I used to give her pretty things that I ought to have kept for myself And do you know why? All because she used to tell me I was pretty. It was the sweetest fife that ever fell on 12-year-old ears. I. who answered to all the awful terms of skinny 'bean-pole. 'shoestrings-to be caled pretty. Why wounldnt I adore the person who had such a vivid imagna- |tion and admire them beyond every other Acquaintance had
 Nancy was dying to laugh, but the story was told so seriously, she couldn't. Finally she said:
 Don't you suppose the girl knew why you liked her.
 "She must have known. she was SO smart said Peggy. That was the pathetic part of it. I remember one night she and I got caught out in the barn in a terrible rain storm and we shivered and cuddied up close together, and we were nearly scared to death. Between the flashes of Tightening I remember how Mary hugged me real tight and said:
 "Oh. Peggy, you are just lovely in the dark

 What became of her?" asked Nancy deeply concerned.
 My dear, she married a very, very rich man in the west" said Peggy proudly just as the price of pork was soaring heavenward, and let me tell you, that to-

The Censorship of Plays

From the London Spectator.
 The censor has failed. must have failed and always will fail, to achieve the ob- ject of|a censorship (which we. of course, admit to be excellent in itselD, because he is an irresponsible official exercising & secret and arbitrary power. Such func- ton is bound to become mechanical, and therefore mischievous The censor in re- cent years has passed many unpleasant plays and others which deal with breaches of the Seventh Commandment, but has prohibited plays which treated painful subjects sincerely and candidly or which introduced a scriptural character. Thus the most reverent representation of Chris tan subjects Is refused by rule of thumb, while piece full of levity and indifferent morals is often admitted.
