DIFFERENT INVITATIONS.

Invitations, either written or en-
graved, are sent out for dinners, we'd
dings, receptions, luncheons or any
OF the other forms of entertainment,
like cards, theatricals, etc. They vary
for the different kinds of hospitality.
Invitations for afternoon teas, recep-
tons and garden parties are issued in
the name of the hostess. A widower,
whose home is presided over by his
daughter, issues. invitations in his own
and his daughters name.

of her mother that she write, is per-
missible; but engraved invitations
must not be sent by unmarried women
to their men friends.
For any informal little gathering,
dinner party or entertainment, the in
formal notes should be the means of
asking guests. They should state ex-
actly the hour, date and kind of en-
tertainment, and If the entertainers
live in the country little train sched-
ule should be inclosed. Every effort
should be made to avoid confusion and
misunderstanding.
For receptions, especially if they be
in series, the Eat home" form of
card can be used, generally prefaced
by the words, ITO meet - il a
special person is to be introduced. To
receptions of this character the entire
list of the hostess acquaintainces
should be invited.
The visiting card is often used for

SAINT KATE BARNARD.

She weighs about ninety pounds
mighty small quantity of woman, but
a tremendous batch OF dynamite.
At first sight she is plain, insight
icant and sallow. but her eyes are
wonderfuI-veiled with soft mysticism
flaming with eagerness-challengin
compelling.
She is Jeanue dare reborn on the
prairies-Peter the Hermit reincarnat-
ed in skirts-motner of the multitude
-zealot, crusader, and a human wild
cat.
At times as gentle as a saint-again,
implacable and dangerous as two
gun man.
She has accomplished more within
the span of her twenty-od years than
any one woman of her hour. She comes
nearer to running Oklahoma than all
the other officers in the state.
At present she is commissioner of
charities and corrections fragile
girl in control of the vice and crime
and misfortune of her commonwealth.
Some politicians don't like her way
Of running things, but politicians never
did admire straight line. When they
know the game half as well as Kate
Barnard plays it, they may GUST her,
but just now, with 10000 votes in the
palm of her hand, and the love of
every decent citizen in the community
behind her, she will remain in office
as long as her ambition is alive, which
means as long as she is alive. and
which again doesn't necessarily mean
a great many years, for Kate Barnard
is ill-sickened with the woes of her
people, broken, wee, feeble mite,
fighting giants battles for mans bet
terment.
Her name is an inspiration to every
woman. She proves how far and how
splendidly courage and persistence car
achieve in petticoats.
She came into this world with a
second-c class spine, but first class
backbone. She was i'll as child and
she was siclxly in her maturity. but
Kate has been too busy worrying
about others to notice her own
troubles.
Her shoulders are hardly wider thar
a laborer's palm, but they are broad
enough to support thousands of lag
ging souls.
Wherever men pay the penalty ri
| crime, they pay her reverence. She
| has cleansed American prisons of theil
| Augean vileness. She has brought
mercy where brutality was lord. She
has taught the outcast to hope and
planted faith in many broken breast
She believes in the best of the worst
and she has found gold where societ,
has looked for brass.

theories. but today she can point t.

CAREFUL AUTHORS.

1t is surprising how punctilious
some authors have been with respect
even to the smallest detail of their
manuscripts. Dickens was a perfect
terror, and would make enough fuss
over an error of punctuation to drive
a poor comp" out of his senses, says
Bits.
Tennyson, too. was most particular
that not a comma should be omitted
or misplaced, whilst his revisions were
never finished. Perhaps the greatest
terror of the compositor was Thomas
Carlyle, for he would cover every
square inch of vacant space both in
the margin and between the lines with
minute additions and emendations-
and not once. but dozen times.
Victor Hugo was equally diflcult to
please and satisfy. OF one Of his fam
GUS works he made the printers supply
no less than eleven successive revised
proofs, and the last half dozen were
furnished in order to make quite sure
that the commas were in their right
places.
But perhaps Thomas Campbell, the
famous poet who wrote such stirring
masterpieces as "Hohenlinden," 1.-THE
Battle of the Baltic" and Eye Mariners
of England takes the cake in this
respect. He was fastidious to a de-
gree. which fact probably accounts for
the small quantity and perfect quail
ity Of his literary output 1t is said
that he one walked six miles to his
printers, and six niles back. in order
to have a comma changed into semi
colon.
But an equally careful and fastidious
literary workman owed a great inn
provement in the opening line of his
most famous poem to a printer This
was Thomas Gray. whose 'Elegy Writ
ten in a Country Churchyard' is prob
ably the best known poem in the Eng
lish language.
Its first line reads
The curfew tolls the knelI of partins
day;
but when Gray sent it to the press
his manuscript read
The curfew tolls, the kneli of parting
day.
The thoughtful compositor did not un-
derstand the word tolls" as an in
transitive verb. so dropped the COM
ma, thinking the poet had put it in
by mistake. and when Gray read the
line his sensitive ear at once caught its
new, sustained melody and he adopted
the compositor's correction.
Probably the most fastidious living
writer is the poet William Watson His
work bears the impress of extreme
care and. like Tennyson. his revision
seems never to be done.

ONE WAY TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING.

In the February Woman's Home
Companion appears an account of the
Housewives league and the great
work 1t is doing toward reducing the
cost of living The league has 5000
members, is two years old and Is
growing rapidly. One of the great
pieces of work It is doing is teafhing
women to follow the market repo&s in
the newspapers and thus to now
what the proper prices for goodl are.
Following is a part of a stateVnent
about the league made by the pfesi-
dent. Mrs. Julian Heath:
For generations mother was a
practical and al-sufficient house
keeper
Today somebody else packs down
her butter and eggs when they are
plentiful, against the time when they
are scarce. Somebody else preserves
her fruits, cans her vegetables. salts
her pork, makes her pickles, bakes her
beans. All these people charge for SER
vice. a little here, a little there. but
they do not do all of her work for
her.
AS a result Of the lack of over
sight on the part OF the individual
housewife and spender, these firms
and corporations which do her bigger
housekeeping and should be her SER
wants have become her masters. But
they have at last overstepped the
mark. They have grown so daring.
so avaricious. so greedy, that they
have forced a crisis. domestic panic.
And they are largely responsible for
the existence of the Housewives
league. which purposes to fight them
and bring them to time. The league
will dictate. and. because it is union
half million strong, it win be obeyed.

HOME VS.. HOSPITAL.

That the home can no longer COM
pete with the hospital in the care of
the sick is evident from the increasing
demand throughout the country for
hospitals of every type. In 1900 there
were approximately 5000 public and
private hospitals in the United States.
In 1910 the number of these institu-
tons had increased to about 1000
Therefore, while the fear of entering
the hospital for any serious purposes
is still real, these figures show that
the prejudice against hospitals is di-
minishing rapidly, says the Journal
of the American Medical Association,
The black death which visited Lon
don in the fourteenth century is now
merely of historic interest, yet it re-
minds one of a. period when there
were no hospitals, no building in
which the plague-stricken could be
separated from the healthy, no scien-
tific physicians, no trained nurses; in
short, no effective means whatever for
combating disease. The environment
of the home is rarely conducive to the
mental quietude of the sick. There is
an intimate association between the
home and a mans business affairs and
for woman the home is her place OF
business.
