THE END.
Mary had little lamb,
Or SO the story says, at least;
But long ago that little lamb
For someone did provide a feast.
Perhaps twas served with sauce of mint,
An appetizing barbecue,
Or maybe, nolens volens, went
To furnish forth an Irish stew.

Some Moral ouestions

among the questions with which Pres
ident-eect Wilson will have to deal are
those relating to the army and the navy"
said an old citizen.
len or twelve years ago the army can
teen was abolished. Secretary of War
Stimson and Chief of Staff Leonard Wood
are strongly in favor of restoring the
canteen. They have recently pointed out
that many of the soldiers when off duty
frequent dives, always numerous in the
vicinity of barracks, and that there is
more abuse of liquor now than there was
when the soldiers We're permitted to have
their beer canteen. The Women's Chris
tan Temperance union was prominent in
the movement that resulted in eliminating
the esnteen, and they will be active again
in preventing its return. 1t will be up to
the new President to express himself on
this question
In the navy the enlisted men are al
lowed to play baseball on Sunday, and
many citizens have protested against
what they term dissertation of the Sab
bath The navy department justifes
Sunday baseball on heaground that the
men cannot be spared from their regu-
lar duties on week days and that Sunday
is the only time they have for recreation;
Ii they were allowed an afternoon off for
baseball during the week they would have
TO make up for it by working half day
on Sunday.
In the army and navy there are many
assertions every year. and not only do
assertions cost the government so much
#
ficiency of the service The absence of
the canteen, it is said, accounts for many
OF the assertions in the army, and if the
sailors were not allowed to play baseball
on Sunday the assertions in the navy
would increase; at least so naval officers
argue.
President Taft, being man of ex-
emplary morals himself. has shown him
self to be mindful of the morals of the
army and navy. He took the broad view
of the Sunday baseball question and
thought 1t was all right under the cir
cumstances. Woodrow Wilson comes "
old Presbyterian stock, and he is an ac-
tive member of the Presbyterian church.
1t goes without saying that he believes
in decorous observance of Sunday. al
though he has been known to travel on
the Christian Sabbath What his att-
tude towards Sunday baseball in the navy
will be remains to be seen.
I'm speaking of Sunday. many of US
remember when those who advocated a
very strict observance of the Lords day
were always consistent in their practice.
1t is different today. All Christian people
agree that manual labor not absolutely.
necessary should be discontinued on Sun
day, but as to diversions there is a great
1axity in these latter days, even among
good church people. | like baseball, but

DON'T BE PATHFINDER

1t is very easy to get into the habit
of finding fault. Nothing can be as
easily acquired as the complaining
spirit. and nothing is so difficult to
rid oneself of as this same spirit after
1t has once gained control over us.
Nothing seems right to some people,
and If 1t happens to be a father who
is addicted with such a disposition
his Homecoming at night is dreaded
rather than welcomed.
Popular people are not chronic
complainers.
Go through the list of your friends
for proof of this.
The basis of popularity is cheer
full heart and a sympathetic soul, and
carping critic never has either.
What If the chairs dc need busting

AFTERNOON BLOUSE

Separate waists of light eolored ma
terial. and especially of lace, are worn
at Informal bridge afternoons with
handsome coat and skirt suits. All
over machine embroidery waists
yelled with net or chiffon are appear
ing among the newer models, and
these waists are especially dainty.
The separate waist pictured is white
liberty silk with a deep bertha of
Bohemian lace which falls over the
high girdle of the draped brocade
skirt. The sleeve of draped chiffon
and liberty silk is oddly Oriental in
effect, the upper part of the sleeve,
like the square yoke, being of trans
parent chiffon.
Another handsome bridge gown
shows one of the new Medici collars
of wired lace. which gives much dig

WOMEN INVENTORS

1t is sometimes stated that women
lack creative ability. and it will sur
prise a great many people to learn
that feminine skill and ingenuity
have played an honorable part in
supplying the world with the useful
inventions that have contributed so
largely to its material progress.
A remarkable versatility in talent is
shown in the case of Harriet Hosmer.
She is noted as the sculptor of the
Sleeping Faun,e and also as the in
ventor of the permanent magnet as
a motive power for lifting large
masses of metal and of a novel
method of changing lime into marble.
The ice cream freezer was invented
by Mrs. Nancy NJ. Johnson. The
science Of anatomy is indebted to
Nine De Condray for the manilSin,
while jeanette Powers is the author
of the aquarium.
Mss Mary Walton. of New York.
has contributed to the comfort Of
mankind by a device for deadening
the sound on elevated railroads, and
also a successful smoke consumer.
In 1871 Margaret Knight, Of Boston,
invented a machine for making paper
bags and a Washington woman has
given her name to the Coston light,
so valuable in maritime signaling.
Frances Durham is RESPONSIBLE for
the comb foundation for bee hives.
II should be borne in mind that all
these products of woman's skill are
eminently practical and successful,
and they are only a few random ex-
amples of what the sex has accom-
plished. When We consider that these
things have been done in the very
teginning Of woman's emancipation
from the handicaps Of tradition, il
does not seem very extravagant TO
imagine that some day the world may
be honoring female Edison.
