branches of the Utah Street charities is the Woman's Alliance Maternity Cottage. This is a block away from the school. It is a two story cottage of 10 or F rooms, with small bungalow in the rear as a sleeping place for tired nurses. This is not an institution for profit Nearly everything is done by volunteer labor and at less than cost to the patients who are attended. It was found that many of these poor women are in unutterable distress at the birth of their children and subsequently,; that they often lay on bare boards, with nothing but an old quilt or horse blanket for bed, In shacks not fit to be called houses, and attended only by ignorant neighbors; and that the mortality of mothers and chill dren was extremely large. So a number of people, led by two sisters who are trained nurses, secured this building, fitted it up for maternity work, and are using 1t to save these lives that were heretofore wasted.
 To meet need that Is singulary great in that part of the city, the cottage put a bath room in the back yard of the bun galow for the use of these poor women and their children. The nominal sum of cents Is charged for the use of 1t. This does not cover cost of towel and soap, but 1t supplies long felt want Through out the neighborhood the cottage is so well known that there are many women who, knowing they cannot have proper care at home, arrange in advance to have a bed at the cottage.

DEPARTMENT STORES IN CHINA
Two on the American Plan Success
 fully Conducted in Hongkong

From Counsel General George E. An derson.
 The retail department store has es- pecially appealed to Chinese in Hong Kong and vicinity, and 1t has become evident that retail business in large Chinese cities in the near future is to be affected materially by the experi- ence of such establishments The two in Hong Kong Sincere & Co.,. Des Voeux road( and the Wing On Co.,, Des Voeux road) are organized by Chinese on American department store princi- ples, principally for Chinese and deal- ing in both Chinese and foreign goods of all sorts. The American plan is fol- lowed, and the organizations general have come from the United States in a roundabout way. The larger and in most respects the most typical of these two establishments was founded by company organized by two Chinese
 business men who had lived in Aus Itralia for many years as planters. keep CTS of "genU Uhl' stores, and business men engaged in various other enter prises. The concern, which succeeded a small business, was organized in 1908, with $200,000 local currency, with the two organizers as managers, sub ject to a board of eight directors It's present financial position and growth appears rom the Idct thar III addition to the original capital it has $420,000 in reserve and undivided profits, having been successful from the beginning It embraces 16 we'll defined departments viz, dry goods, boots and shoes toys, furnishing goods and haberdashery, hardware, furniture. graceries and
 wines and spirits, watches and clocks, cookery and glassware, fancy goods. pictures, etc, stationery, tobacco drugs and toilet goods, graphophones and l music and jewelry. The stocks carried in these several departments vary from $25,000 to s125,o00 in value. At present about so per cent of the trade of the establishment is with Chinese and 20 per cent directly or indirectly with for eigners.
 The larger of the two stores in Hong Kong has just finished the construction of large new modern style building on the water front in Canton for the es- tablishment of Canton house simi- lar to that in Hong Kong. CaAton all ready has department store organ ized on similar lines by one of the di- rectors of the Hong Kong establish ment and it is proving a great success, while the new Canton establishment of the Hong Kong concern promises to dominate the retail situation in the busiest center of Canton retail trade The success of these establishments will naturally lead to their duplication in all the principal cities of China.

ton was helped in the care of her chill
 dren during the day, if she needed it.
 Thus the building is now used to its full
 capacity nearly all the time. The aver
 age number cared for daily is 30, includ- ing from three to six babies from one
 month to a year old, the others are be-
 tween l and years, at which age they
 are eligible for the kindergarten.
 In the day nursery, as in all this work,
 the things actually done for the children
 are while good in themselves, only a
 means to bring the social workers in
 touch with the people and the homes,
 and to bring to bear the uplifting infiu-
 ence of Christian personality This day
 nursery seems unique. The claim is
 made by the board of education that it is the only one in the country so ordered and maintained.
 Erected by the board of education on the school grounds is also the model cot tage or home. It is intended to furnish lessons in practical housekeeping for the girls of these poor families. who have seldom or never before seen how com fortable homes are furnished and kept. The bungalow is purposely small. It has three rooms and a pantry for the storage of dishes food and appliances. In front is a living room, which serves also for a dining room, a bed room and a well equipped kitchen. In front of the house is a small porch behind large one, on which much work is done. The furnish ings are plain, but good, such as the ay- craze family might have, and show the touches that taste and culture give to even the plainest home Here, to make the experiment real, two of the teachers live.
 Three groups of 10 girls each are as- signed work at the cottage each day. The first begins at 9 o'clock, and does the ulre the bed, place the furniture, etc, and the other five wash the breakfast dishes and arrange them in the pantry and cup boards. The second group of 10 then comes on duty, and while five prepare lunch the others are taking sewing lesson. hemming napkins, or towels, or mendng clothing. Lunch is served to Il teachers The pupils are instructed in some of the niceties of such service. The third group clear away the lunch, wash the dishes and then receive also "a lesson in sewing, mending or some other house hold duty.
 The teachers pay for their lunches and aid in the special instruction. It has not been difficult so far to find those who combine philanthropic spirit with house keeping experience and ability So there is mingling of paid and charity. work of ordinary school duties and of the new effort to reach the homes of the poor by training the children in hetter ways. The furnishing of the model bungalow and the cost of the work are met by iphilapthropic people. The work Is new. Yet it has already produced favorable re- suits The model cottage plan of teaching do- nestle science is regarded also as some thing unique It seems to be a success, and the parents and teachers are enthu- siastic about it. believe the Utah Street day nursery and the model cottage are well worthy of trial as essential parts
 of public school work In the sIum dis
 sricts of every city.

SOCIALIZING THE PUBLIC

 The Utah Street public school of Los Angeles, Cal, is the center of one ot the largest working classes. Here within n small area are thousands of Russians Jews, Spaniards, Mexicans, Portuguese and a sprinkling from several northern nations, as well as Americans. Most or them live in extreme poverty and have only half civilized ideas of home life and methods.
 The board of eduaction, recognizing this, has provided not only a good school building on ample grounds. but has erected auxiliary buildings for kinder garten, a day nursery, and for model housekeeping instruction in regular cottage so as to initiate ordinary family conditions. These three are on the school grounds. There is also one block away n maternity cottage. serving the same people, but not directly connected With the school.
 The Utah Street school has $50 pupils In grades from the kindergarten to the fifth. In a big bungalow, 24 by 36 feet, is mod flied form of day nursery It Is all in one room, save a small hall in one corner, and a bath and toilet room utilizing the rest of the space, across the end of ths house. In front Is Q porch and behind is an inclosed yard equipped with sand box. swings, etc, for playground There are several beds, number of baby cabs, chairs. low tables, etc. In the back hall are facilities for heating milk, sterilizing bottles. nipples and other like necessa- ries. The Fellowship society and other interested philanthropists furnish the equipment of this plant and provide a trained worker.
 Many of the women in this part Of the city must go out to work Tor the family s support. Where there were several chill dren the older ones stayed at home to care for the little ones. Primarily this day nursery is to aid older children to at tend school by caring for the younger ones. Every school morning before 9 o'clock these children bring the little brothers and sisters ranging from babes to 4-year-olds, to the day nursery; at noon they take charge of them again for an hour, after which they put them in Ithe nursery for the afternoon period. This, has won for the school many chill dren who would never otherwise have had it's privileges. It was then found possible to do iittle more general day nursery work, and so almost any working mother in that sec

SPOONER SpOonerisms and Warden of New College Receiving the Guests His Daughters Wedding

put his transformation of flowing shep- herd'' into showing leopard runs it pretty close. He once spoke of preaching to "beery wenches,' too. when he meant weary benches," and turned "conquering kings into 'lSinkering kongs," not to mention having called for three cheers for the "queer old dean" when he meant dear old queen."
 Probably a lot of "Spoonerisms" have been fathered on Dr. Spooner that he never actually uttered, but all the follow ing ones are guaranteed voracious. Per haps the funniest one he ever perpetrated was his statement to a railway porter who asked how much luggage he had, that it consisted of two rags and bug by which he meant of course two bags and rug.
 When late for an appointment once, pr. Spooner explained that he had stopped to "boll his icicle,' and he spoke of an inn as '"The Dull Man at Greenwich in- stead of "The Green Man at Dudwich' ' Asked at another time where his family bought their groceries, he replied un- blushingly I've always steal at the doors" his harmless meaning being of course Ideal at the stores."
 pr. Spooner by the way Is an Albino, with naturally white hair and pink eyes. and often used to be mistaken for an old man by fellow students at Oxford when first they set eyes on him. One of his contemporaries there described him to the writer as an uncommonly brilliant stu dent, who was made tutor at Oxford di- rectly he passed his examinations, and taught men who the year before had been in his own class. Like most Albinos he suffers from poor eyesight, and 1t was a common saying at Oxford that Spooner was bound to make good if he did not rub out with his nose what he wrote with his pen. Among the other positions he has held was that of private secretary to Archbishop Tait. Another archbishop, his grace of Canterbury, performed the ser vice at the wedding of Dr. Spooner' daughter last week. this marriage being the first that ever has taken place in the chapel of New College.

London. September 2s.--(Special Cores pondence )-In all the published accounts of the marriage of Miss Spooner, the daughter of the famous warden of New College at Oxford, this week, there was one unfortunate omission. All the details of the ceremony were duly recorded, but everybody forgot to mention whether the father of the bride managed to perpetrate any more of the "Spoonerismsi for which he is famous all over the world. Such, for instance, as the reverend gentlemans $ celebrated statement that he was going to London by the town drain'' fwhen he meant the down-train), or his equally renowned remonstrance, addressed to woman in church, Excuse me, madam, but you are occupewing my pie unstead of occupying my pew'D.
 The term "Spoonerism to signify a yer bal mixup is almost as familiar, Of course, as the expression. "Gilbertlan, but probably few of the people who use the former could tell how it originated or say if the author of the famous ',Spoonerisms is alive or dead. He proved very much alive when he gave hfs daugli- ter away the other sday, and looked won derfully fit, as they say over here, in spite of his 6S years.
 The Rev William Archibald Spooner, D. D. to give his full style and title, has been warden of New College, Oxford since 1899, and the record of his career and his publications, which include sew eral biographies occupies couple or inches in "Who's Who" From this we learn that the reverend gentlemans s father was a county judge and that he himself entered Oxford in 1862 and became a Fellow in 1867. He began featuring a year later, and promptly became famous for his amazing faculty of getting phrases back end foremost

n 0LATTENING himself closely
against the black logs of the
|aSssES wall, Rowland paused on the
kS4X&S platform at the top Of the
stairs. His cropping hand touched the
jam of a door. and he held his breath
when his fingers incautiously ratified
the steel of latch. In another mo-
ment he passed on three paces-four-
along the platform. at last sinking on
his knees in the snow close under the
window. His eyes searched the lighted
room an inch at a time. He saw a
section of wall at first dimly illumi
mated. then a small table near the
window covered with books and maya
zines and beside 1t reclining chair
buried thick under great white bear
robe. On the table. but beyond his
vision. was the lamp. He drew him
self few inches more through the
snow. leaning still farther ahead. until
he saw the foot Of white he'd. A lit
tie more and he stopped. his white
face close to the window pane.
On the bed. facing him. sat Meleese.
