place throughout the community in
which they live. Civics through our
land Is an inspiration developed
through the instigation OF American
women.
England has twenty-seven reform
schools for boys and nine for girls,
with sixty-eight Industrial schools for
boys and forty-three for girls.
France has passed bill permitting
women lawyers to act as magistrates
in trying cases of children under thir-
teen years of age.
A movement has been started in
Australia, led by the printers, to en-
force six hour-daylight work-day
for all female workers. The eight
hour day is universal. Wage agree
ments are made in all trades.
The industries in Japan employ
nearly twice as many women as men,
at a much lower wage.
At a recent poor law elections in
Limerick, Ireland, six women were
elected.
BARONESS Alletta Koff, an Ameri-
can girl and Bryan Nav graduate,
who is the wife of an official in Fin
land, is reported as saying that one
of the first things the women of Nor
way did with their ballots was to get
the governor to start schools of do
nestle training for girls, and perhaps
you will hear with surprise of a So
ciecy lately started in Munich by a
beautiful and distinguished woman,
the Baroness Mohn. This society is
known as "Grosse Feusse," meaning
big feet. Its object is to preach the
gospel that big feet are not only
healthful, but very beautiful. This
lady declares that she made the dis
covery about feet while touring in the
Bavarian Highlands, which are much
frequented by the Berlin ladies who
climb mountains in lace dresses and
French boots with high heels. Despite
the sneers of local newspapers their
society has fiourished wonderfully,
and now has several hundred mem
bers, mostly titled leaders of Bavar-
ian fashion and the ladies are pledg-
ing themselves to wear big shoes ev-
erywhere, even at court functions,
and are training up their children to
the very same principles.
Yes, gently but steadily our women
are changing the old conditions into
those made better by cultured tastes.
1t is the element of beauty, of SYM
metry, of true harmony and accord,
which yields the greatest happiness
to our greatest numbers.

tinted butterflies appliqued in the corners
with a fine hemmng stitch or the tiniest
and most even of feather stitching.
The butterflies should be traced on sheer,
fine, fast-colored batlste or lawn, allowing
enough material outside the outline to turn
under. In sewing them on great care must
be taken TO keep the knots and fastenlngs
underneath the body OF the butterfly and
out OF sight Feather stitching should be
done with very exact cvenness and the
stitches that show on the under side can
be wrought into ornamental effect by n
second line OF stitchcry, caught Into the
original working threads but not going
through 10 show on the upper side. French
knots can be used for the "fcclcrs" AMI

should be done before they are cut out and

Some Ways Of the World

capable housewife. Take the ice bill, for
example. Why should we pay 30 cents a
week for ice this kind OF weather, when
we might Just as well make our own ice
at no cost at all? Whenever ! need ice In
freezing weather l just set a pan Of water
