A n Englishwoman Of wide experience
and one whose work has brought
her into close contact with many girls
and older women Of an astonishing va
riety OF natures and desires has writ
ten little sermon to the discontented
girl;
A real evil Is far easier 10 remedy
than an imaginary one. Most people
will disagree with meat first
oh" they will exclaim unbelievingly.
how ridicuiousl An imaginary evil is
well. it's only imaginary while a real
evil does a definite amount Of harm"
Exactly Strange as II may seem.
that is my very point.
real evil does do a definite amount
Of harm-of course II does-but the
harm is certain. material. calculable.
something which may be arrested and
killed.
with an imaginary evil there is moth
ing solid 20 grasp or 70 fight; II Is a
vague. misty something which enveiops
and blinds US. in which we wander
dazedly. knowing neither its origin. its
power nor its purpose.
There is a dark cloud OF the imagi-
nation which envelops and spoils the
lives of many women today and seems
as though II would grow into even
greater darkness tomorrow and after,
II is the twentieth century woman's
curse-a very fiend Of unrest and
vague discomfort
Let me look into Il. analyze Il. try %
suggest some remedies. for am sure
that many who are reading this article
either suffer from Il or through IT.
First. then, what is Il? When a girl
is growing into womanhood she begins
to understand the world. its ways and
all there IS OF. may be, In Il for her.
she experiences her first discontents-
and let US carefully follow her progress
The beginnings are generally al
home. for It Is not only charity that
starts there. The cause IL somethins
small and altogether imaginative. She
lmay want to do her hair Up. so to a
ldance or see a play with friends Of her
own choosing. OF go TO bridga party
or on the stage. or to read some very
doubtful novel
Possibly the parental foot descends
heavily and decidedly. squashing her
young ideas. or perhaps Miss Nineteen
hundred-and-tw is allowed TO do as
she wishes. which Is more probable and
more disastrous.
For what happens next? She had
lcertain desires--vain. perhaps, and
lcomparatively unitnportant. but def
lnite and clear desires. after all They
lwere gratihed. she was allowed to have
her own way and then no longer want
ed tor. at least no longer cared for
having H.
SO on she goes again. her imagiha-
ton careering wildly after some new
fancy. until checked. she broods over
some other grievance. Her self viii
rides rough shod over reason. happi-
ness. love--she is never happy unless
discontsnted.
She goes through the whole liss Of
definite discontents = money. dress

wants them all. and the lack OF any

Tools In the Home

A TACK IN time Is sometimes as
necessary as the proverbial stitch.
Tools are necessary TO make the
small repairs about the house. snd a
box OF them should be ever ready at
the housekeeper's hand.
A hammer. ginllet. small hand saw
screwdriver and pliers are usually suf-
fcient.
Taciss, nails and screws OF assorted
sizes should have a place in the box.
Sandpaper. q tube Of furniture glue
and can OF oil will also be needed.
A large pair OF shears will be found
useful in many cases.
With these tools at hand a woman
may attempt some simple uphoistering
Chairs and sofas that have become
shabby may be recovered with fresh
cretonne.

refining odor Of of the local lunch

STATE LIBRARY :
BOARD MEETING
Much Business Was Trans
acted at Session Held in
Bismarck This Week

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. 12.-The reg.
ular se!ni-annual meeting of the lib.
rary commission was held at the CAPT.
toll. There were present A. E. Sheets
secretary, Mrs. BudloMg.
1t YVES found that conditions in the
field never were SO satisfactory and
full Of promise. The travelling libra.
ries are gaining in favor SO rapidly
that the supply is far short Of the
demand. Jan. l, 1912, forty-nine sta.
tions were waiting for Libraries. some
of them having had their applications
on file for several months. The lib
raries made up Of second hand books
given the commission by the depart
men OF public instruction in 1897 are
wearing out and on appropriation fol-
the purchase OF books will DE neces.
sary to keep an adequate number OF
libraries in circulation.
The growth of the education ref.
| rence work has been especially
marked as shown by the circulation
of reference books and mounted clip
pings. The legislative reference de-
partment has been gathering materi.
al for use of the next legislature and
has prepared several digests of North
Dakota laws for which there was a
specia. demand, among them. Laws
Pertaining to Women and Children,
Board of Control Bill and Juvenile
Courts. Mr.. Acker is now at work on
a digest Of legislators. -
a very interesting feature is the
number OF reading rooms and libra
ries that are being established in the
state. A number of these have asked
the commission for help in organizing,
and in accordance with section 6,
chapter 243, session laws 1907, a linn
tied sum was set aside for use of the
secretary in 1912 to visit for this pur-
pose especially the small towns that
cannot afford to employ a trained
librarian.
Requests that the commission CO.
operate with summer schools in con
Quoting short terms in library sci
ence" were considered and while the
need of such instruction in the state
was fully realized and also the fact
that such work is a legitimate field
of commission activity still its fnan-
cial condition makes 1t impossible to
incur expense for hat line Of work
during 1912.
Mrs. Darrow of Fargo was unable
to attend the meeting as she is out of
the state, and DR.. Bait. whose term
has expired, was greatly missed. his
good work on the publicity commit
tee for the past three years having
been Of great value particularly in
the development of the farmers lib
raries.
The commission remained in session
until all accumulated business had
been dispatched. Unless a called
meeting should be necessary, it, will
not convene again until June.
A summary Of the work of the COM
MISSIONS department here for the year
1911 is as follows:
Travelling libraries sent, 159.
New stations established, los.
Farmers libraries sent, 81.
New stations established. 61..

MRS. J. H. MINGE HOSTESS
 AT AUCTION AND TEA

one of the lovely incidents of the week was the auction bridge and afternoon tea With which Mrs. John H. Minge yester oay afternoon introduced Mrs Charles 0. Locke's guest, Mrs Frederick Rem 1ngton Greene of New York
 The Minge residence which was lately renewed. was an inviting place for a spring hospitality, it's gardens are fresh and bright with flowers and the interior
 is. as ever, charming. Yellow roses. used effectively in the interior, made the living room especially lovely. In the drawing room, where the hostess received her guests, pink Killarney roses were em ployed with lovely effect. Here Mrs. Minge, wearing lovely spring gown of lowered silk with overdress of shadow lace, stood accompanied by the guest of honor. Mrs. Greene, who is a woman of exceptional charm. appeared in French gown built of lace with touches of black velvet.
 Other attractive women who assisted Mrs Minge to welcome her callers were Mrs. A. W. Smith, Mrs. James Arthur Smith. Mrs. Vernon Whitaker, Mrs. Charles Locke, Mrs. Harold Samson, Mrs. Solon Jacobs. Mrs. N. l.. Miller, Mrs. Walker Percy. Mrs. E. H. Cabanss, Mrs. Henry l.. Badham.
 Auction was played at o'clock and at the conclusion of the games several dainty prlzes were aWafueu They were parasols and lamp shades in the Dresden design. In the dining room where tea was served after the arrival of the late callers H formal French bouquet adorned the table. Tea was poured by Mrs. Albert Lynn of Pittsburg tEthel Sharpe), Mrs Wil- liam Walker and Mrs. Paschal Shook Ices and bon bons followed the Dresden scheme. which was so effectively indi- cated in the dainty parasols awarded as prizes-three given as consolation trophies.
 The game trophy, lamp shade, was won by Mrs. George Huntington Clark
 In drawing the consolation the minia- ture French bouquets were used. In the big yeranda stood punch table. Among the interesting women noted among the players and supplemented later by 20 or 90 of the hostess friends who called for tea were Mrs T. V. Boardman. Mrs. F. H. Crockard. Mrs. Felix Dren- nan, Mrs. John Warren, Mrs. Ed Warren. Mrs. N. L. Miller. Ms. Henry Howze,
