literally plunged into the work. Though
she is well known in the Quaker city in
the social sense. and has numerous
friends in the most exalted circles of that
aristocratic city. Miss Jessie Wilson is
seen at her best in that dingy textile dis
trict known as kensington. There is To-
Gated settlement house prettily called
the Light House. and Miss Wilson has
been for the past four years an inspiring
influence as we'll as a constant and in
telligent director.
With her fathers propensity to get to
the lower strata of every condition Miss
Wilson has spent days among the textile
workers of Philadelphia and In the small
er cities Of New Jersey and Delaware.
When she speaks it is with authority and
consequently what she advocates is al
most assured Of success. Miss Wilson
recognized that in many instances the
eight-hour day would mean determination
for many commercial concerns, and that
to insist on 1T would mean injury to the
cause and to the women whom she hoped
to benefit AS in Pennsylvania, New
York, Massachusetts and other states

of labor will not meet the demand, Della

concessions, one OF the principal of which
Is that no woman can be compelled to
work more than fifty-five hours a week,
which means ten hours for five days and
but five for the sixth, or half day Sat
urday.
Miss Wilson was greatly pleased over
this law and considered 1t a victory, the
full significance of which is not vet APP

entering wedge has been made and the
working women have been placed under

The National Consumers League has
engaged the attention Of the entire coun-

ers who have such splendid records re-
garding local and national legislation for
the cause. The national officers Of the
league reside in New York, and of them
the name of Mrs. Margaret Kelly need
only be mentioned to call forth the MEM
DRY of years of devoted labor for the
benefit of day laborers among women
and children.
Miss Jessie Wilson scrupulously OBJ
serves the ironclad rule of the league
to buy nothing which does not bear the
sign manual of approval from the execu-
tive board. In the matter OF clothing
this sign is a small label printed on a
square Of white cotton. THE National

made under conditions sanitary for the
workers, that they are paid decent wages
and they are~not compelled to slave for
a pittance. 1t is also stamped on food
purchases.
Miss Wilson would like to see the
tire American nation join this movement,
which means SO much to the present gen.
Grafton, but much more for those to come.
The league has members now in every
state of the Union, and in nearly all it has
its representative inspecting manufacto-
ries where women and children are en-
ployed. If women would only give the
question the proper consideration, say the
leaguers, all grievances would rectify
themselves For instance, what whole
sale or retail producer could stand against
the disapproval of the women of his
community? When they say that they
cannot afford to grant concessions. more
wages or fewer working hours, If women
would reply. Very well. then, We will
not buy, how soon the devoted workers
of the league would obtain results,

What is the moral? Who ride may read
When the night is thick and the tracks are blind
friend at pinch is friend indeed.
But fool to wait for the laggard behind,
Down to Gehenna up to the throne,
He travels the fastest who travels alone.
White hands cling to the frightened rein,
Slipping the spur from the booted heel;
Tenderest voices cry turn again;
Red lips tarnish the scabbarded steel;
High hopes faint on a warm hearthstone,
He travels the fastest who travel alone
One may fall, but he falls by himself,
Falls by himself, with himself to blame:
One may attain. and to him is the pelf.
Loot of the city in gold and fame
Plumber of earth shall be all his own
Who travels the fastest and travels alone.
Wherefore, the more ye be hoIpen and stayed
Stayed by friend in the hour of toll
