much on the important gowns may be-
copied by the home dressmaker if she
will just study the kinds of beads that
are used on these gowns and buy that
kind. String the beads on double
thread and sew them onto the gown by
taking stitch between each two
beads with another thread. Do not
try to string and sew the beads with
the same needle and thread, or the
work will look very amateurish.
Avery clever French trick is to form
design on chiffon and outline it in
embroidery silk in one or two colors;
then, instead of embroidering the CEN
ters, paint it with very thin gold paint
very carefully. The effect is charming
and only close inspection will detect
the ruse.

Coal offers to mankind solar energy
in It's most concentrated form. In
deed modern civilization may be said
to be the daughter of coal But the
supply of coal is not inexhaustible and
every ton Of it taken out of the earth
leaves just that much less for the fu-

the silver basket in which they were ar
ranged

brew and its general merriment and spirit

old time observances, fallen by the way

All the people who live within a radius
Of 100 miles or more of New York try to
get in to join the midnight pandemonium
or to go TO the New Years matinees and
society as a rule, even il some of its
members linger to welcome 1913, goes to

Long Island and other localities and cele-

south and others to Lenox and the Adj
rondacks for winter sports. The noisy

whistles and Trinity and st. Andrew S
chimes unite TO welcome the New Year.

BUSINESS LEAGUES
OBJECT TO BRIDGE

Chattanooga, January 1.-(Special)--
Determined and persistent opposition
has developed here in several of the
suburban business leagues and in the
Chattanooga Manufacturers association
to the bridge proposition recently sub
mitted to the city and the county by
Colonel Shortridge, the promoter of the
Birmingham and Chattanooga Interur-
ban company. The traction company
expressed it's willingness to build two
bridges if the county would pay its
pro rata but the fact that the bridges
will span the Tennessee river at point
where they will aid only the inter-
urban trains has led the various civic
organizations to oppose the PROPOSE
ton.

Lady Selborne, d prominent English
woman. who is interested in the woman
movement wrote in a recent periodical
of the progress of woman's rights.
Quoting from her one receives the fol-
lowing information:
Municipal suffrage was granted to
women in Finland in 1868, and in New
South Wales in 1867. In 1869 it was
granted TO women IL England and in
Victoria. and the state of Wyoming
gave full suffrage both for municipali-
ties and parliament to all women. In
1871 West Australia gave municipal
suffrage to women, and in 1880 South
Australia did the same. In 1881 Scotch
women received the municipal vote, and
the Isle of Man gave the vote for the
house of keys to women Ontario and
Tasmania gave the municipal vote in
1854, and New Zealand and New Bruns-
wick in 1886. In 1887 Kansas, Nova
Scotia and Manitoba granted the muni-
cipal suffrage. and in 1888 on the form
alton of county councils in England
women were admitted to vote for them,
and British Columbia and the north
west territory gave municipal suf-
frsge. In 1889 Scotch county councils
were instituted, also with women cleo
tors, and women were admitted to vote
for municipalities in the province of
Quebec. In 1898 parliamentary suffrage
was granted to women in New Zealand
and Colorado, In 1895 to the women of
south Australia, in 1896 to the states
of Idaho and Utah.
In 1898 Irish women received the
vote for county councils. In 1900
West Australia gave women the parlia-
mentary vote.
In 1901 Norway gave the municipal
vote. In 1902 Australia was federated,
and women were given the vote for
the commonwealth parliament, and New
South Wales granted them the vote for
the state parliament. In 1903 Tas-
mania followed and in 1906 Queensland.
In 1906 Finland gave full suffrage for
all purposes, and Norway gave the par
liamentary vote to certain qualified
women in 1907.
In 1908 Victoria gave women the
parliamentary vote. In 1910 the state
of Washington gave it. In 1911 this
was followed by California, and now
In 1912 four more states of the union,
Arizona, Kansas, oregon and Michigan,
have entrusted their women with the
fun right of citizenship.
How cay anti-suffragists hope to
Withstand this worldwide movement
among people of our race? They try
to draw an imaginary line between mu-
nicipal and parliamentary franchise
In fact, one has been the forerunner of
the other, for a very simple reason.
When men see that women exercise the
municipal vote with the same good
sense that they themselves make use
of, they naturally think it safe to en-
trust them with vote for members of
parliament Votes for women is not
q fancy freak of democracy here or
there, but a result of the steady con-
viction of the whole Anglo Saxon and
scandinavian races that women are de-
serving of honor and worthy to be
trusted.

Lots of us wake up mornings with
that "Oh, what's the use feeling, sitting
up straight and hard in our hearts.
Whats the use getting up?'
What's the use of going to work.?
Whats the use starting anything OF
planning to finish it,"
Most things we essay end the same
way--the efforts seem to be futile.
Life is Magic maze--a mirror not TO be
trusted,
We come out just where we entered!
'Ohi what's the use of anything.
What's the use trying TO straighten the
tangles of our lives out?
They snarl up again, like a trick ball
Of cord released.
What's the use trying to help others
with the sorry jumble they've made OF
their lives?
Haven't we tried and seen them right
about face and go straight back to the
place we helped them to leave?
Haven't we dreamed and schemed and
planned and hoped and in way prayed
as hard as we know how to pray, by
working as hard and doing as good work
as we are capable of doing, to see the
days settle into their old dreary rut?
To have the history of the months re-
peat itself?
To come finally to the conclusion we
faced and fought after a fashion?
What's the use of anything?
