should be so with all women, anc
what is more, it is going to be.
"Of course, nothing will ever change
women as far as centering their inter.
est in one man is concerned. Love is
bigger than votes and professions and
everything, but that interest in the
man will be not only for this ad-
vancement, but for the wider advance
ment of other women who love and
will force the men and husbands to
work for and with their womenfolk
for the lettering of conditions"
Sentiment of Most Actresses.
Miss Donnelly adds that she be-
lieves she voices the sentiments OF
most actresses; for they are women
who see all sides of life. and life in
all cities, and who, in studying new
roles for the drama, inevitably study
new types of men and women in life
itself, and so their mimic world gives
them clear-eyed view of the great
world and its needs.
Miss Donnellv can in no sense be
termed a masculine woman either. She
is essentially feminine in her love of
pretty clothes and hats. She has a
wonderful collection of old Sheffield
silver. of Japanese prints and bits of
bric-a-brac, takes childish delight in
the buying Of new things of all kinds.
She is musical, too, fond of outdoor
sports, and reads constantly; in fact,
she is seldom seen without a book,
and finds time outside of all these
things to help in charity work and to
aid in the work of the progressive
women of today.

A WHITE MARBLE CROSS
AS TRIBUTE TO HEROISM

for there are no records to tell.
But the Indians and the miners knew.
that II, they knew their side Of the
| story. They knew that they first called
her 'parson''-then mother" And II
one has bit OF imagination. II 10 fairly
easy To picture the rest 'and to figure
what the life meant to her, cut of from
all Of her kind and set down in the
desolate heart Of q wilderness-alone.
The way leading to that eloquent
marble cross was heavily strewn with
hardships. but along with the hardships
there must have been roses, too. For
out from That lonely log hut the winter
long, there went a wealth Of helpfulness.
Of enlightenment, and practical. every
day work among folk who deeply needed
1t. And. for a woman Of her dauntless
stamp. there must have been Joy In the
service. We know what must have gone
forth from the hut, for we know what
came back again.
It was sixteen years afterward that
news Of her sudden illness spread. and az
the Indians and the rough, hardy miners
heard that the life Of their mother was
slowly ebbing away they hurried in from
distant stations and stood about In great
earnest groups, night and day, praying
that her years might go on.
Cross Like Her Service.
When the end came, the bishop left It
to them to render honor as they would,
and they counted II a great privilege to
guard her grave. They had seen her fiv-
ing a life of sacrifice for them, ard when
they could do no more 10 make known
their love for the woman who had worked
and lived in their midst, they set up big
marble cross, pure and white, IKE the
quality Of her service.
And there it stands now. away OF from
the beaten track, eloquently telling that
the hard step taken on that November
day was not In vain and that the sacrifice
bore mighty fruit.
And II the setting had not been so grim
and forbidding, her heroism would not
have been so complete. for. doubtless, IL
we could guess all that she did when she
stepped in the breach made by others
faint-heartedness, We would know that
the white marble cross was not half elo-
quent enough.
Yet even the barest outline Of such a
life somehow stands as an inspiration to
those who have not much heart for their
homely duties.

NOT so MANY BOOKS OF FICTION

One OF the most interesting records
of the progress of human thought in
the United States is seen in a diagram
printed by the Literary Digest of the
books published in the year 1890 and
those published in 1912. The books are
in both cases divided into classes, such
as fiction, travel, biography, music. re-
ligion. and the proportionate number of
each class is represented by blocks and
oblong figures which hint the relative
volume of the output in each class In
1890 a total of 1853 books was published,
which had grown to 109o3 in 1872 But
in 1880 there were LIS volumes of fiction,
while in 1912 there were only 1,o10 pub
lished. This is. moreover, 425 books fewer
than were published in fiction in 1910.
which was the year Of the most books,
the total reaching 13.470 The proportion
of fiction to all other books in 1890 was
about a quarter, in 1912 it was less than
a tenth.
Another interesting fact is the proper.
ton of books on religion and theology
published in the two years. In 1890 only
about two-fifths Of the number of books
Of fiction represented the number Of re-
ligious books (460. In 1912 there were
almost as many religious books (s16) as

II she says, YOU will take the
women who are working for woman

what a big thing this movement of
progressive women is. For it is head

the world-wealth, social position,
happy homes, children, and the power
that falls to the lot of those born in
that social status. To them in con-
sequence the vote is not CT paramount

it. striving not for themselves, but for
the women in the mills, in the tene-

modern conditions. These are the

MUFFLERS FOR EVENING
WEAR ARE EASY TO MAKE

Have you seen the lovely mufflers
for evening wear? They are new and
charming. They are also easy to make
and will be greeted with surprise and
delight by any recipient of your gift.
The muffiers resemble the plain
evening protectors" worn by men, or
the knitted muff1ers that many women
wore last winter. They are narrower
at the back, the front piece being
straight and hanging down for twelve
or fifteen inches in front. These ends
can cross after being clasped, or they
can be fastened by hooks and eyes on
the edges.
Brocade is the favorite material. The
daintiest yellow. pink, blue, and mixed
patterns afford a lovely decoration for
these evening cravats. And Just to

ny FRANCES sHAFFER.

Away up near the most northerly point
of the British Columbia seacoast there
stands q white marble cross. For four
teen years It has been sharply outlined
against the cold northern skies. and was
placed there by Indians and miners as a
simple tribute to q woman who gave her
life in their service.
It was not over thirty years ago that
Bishop Ridley was sent to that difficult
mission post. which covers lonE
stretches Of dreary country. During the
first years Of his work he and his wife
went from one distant place to another
in a little steamer, of which the Bishop
was both captain and engineer, and for
months at a time they drifted about
among those stranger folk. gaining their
confidence, teaching them how to live
and opening doors they never had
dreamed Of before.
But after a few years the work at the
main mission became SO important that
one or the other was needed there all
the time. And SO. when the Bishop
started out on his long trips to the far
away places his wife remained behind,
In full charge of the mission, to admin
lister comfort when comfort was needed
and to be ready for all the strange calls
put upon her. She did not guess 1t then,
but she was in training for mightier
task later on.
Deserted Their Post.
One day, while the gray November
clouds were piling up, they sat together
In their mission home, thinking of the
long winter ahead and Of the great work
before them, when there came a tap at
the door. Assuming that it was one Of
their many charges, they hurried to an
swer. and there stood young mission
airy and his wife, who were running
away from their northern field.
They were stationed at a bleak post
that was solitary and distant, and when
they came they had not reckoned lorg
enough with all the hardships they
would face-had not thought OF the
dreariness, the lack of companionship
and the countless demands upon their
strength. And as the long, sharp winter
settled down upon them, their spirits
oozed away and they quietly deserted
their post.
II was too late to find substitutes. yet
the bishop knew that all the gains
would be turned into losses IL that post
was left without a head for the winter.
He could not think Of any way to solve
the problem-it was his wife who pointed
the only way out.
She would 60, she said. and would
hold the work together until help came
At first he could not believe 1t. and at
first he strongly demurred, for he knew
we'll enough what it meant. 1t was a
grave time for both, but she was firm
from the beginning. and the bishop at
last yielded. Together they reached a
log hut. settled down in the solitude-her
home for the winter.
There the bishop left her. the only
