His Mothers Grave.

1t happened. by mere chance, that
since Mrs. Anson's funeral no one had
been inferred on one side of the small
space purchased for her. There were
| three vacant plots here, and a sur
prised official told Philip there would
be no difficulty In acquiring these for
the purpose of erecting a suitable mon
ument.
The boy filled in the necessary forms
| there and then. 1t was some consola-
tiOu to know that he could perpetuate
her memory in this way, though he had
formulated another project which should
keep her name revered through the
ages.

arise the Mary Arson Home for Des-
titute Boys He would build place
where those who were willing to work
and learn would be given a chance, and
not driven. starving and desperate, TO
pick up an existence in the gutter
He was too young to devise all the
details of such a splendid institution,
but he had got the idea and would
possess the money. He would leave
the practical part of the undertaking to
older heads
The one essential feature was that
generations yet unborn should learn to
love and honor the name OF Mary An
son. Provided that We're achieved, he
knew the work would be successful.
Soon after leaving. the cemetery he

sHAWLs MoDIsH.

Shawls have reappeared in fashion able quarters, but they are not worn in the fashion of former days. As mat ter of fact. they take the place of long scarfs and are worn with evening gowns whenever there is the slightest reason for supposing that a draught may chill the shoulders. Milady does not propose to acquire cold in the head if she can possibly avoid 1t. Therefore the psychological hour for getting out grandmother's cherished store of shawls and making use of them has arrived. Had grandmother Paisley shawl? Then promptly cut it in two-diagoIally across-and edge one of it's halves with dull hued eharmeuse ruching. If the dear old lady owned shawl of white Canton crepe, wondrously embroidered by hand, it deserves an edging ruche of fine lace-her own duchesse or point if she left any behind her. Lacking the ancestral square to be halyed and ruche edged have a shawl scarf of chiffon brocaded with huge flowers in raised velvet Then line the small wrap with gold tissue and edge it on all sides with white feathers or nnarabou or fur, and youll have something that a queen might be proud to own.
 Gold net, darned with colored floss after the manner of Italian flIet. and lined with two layers of chiffon, makes a stunning shawl scarf.

THE siMMIGRATioN BILL.

When President Taft vetoed the i'm migration bin, it was not hasty act but one which had received not only much preliminary thought, but full ten days consideration. during which there was the additional hearing granted to the advocates and oppo- nents of the bill He therefore had befeze him all the facts on both sides of the question. Immigration is a pohlein- which this country has loag Etried to solve in a manner which will
 be to the best advantage and still al i low 1t to continue as the land of op- portunity, freedom and hope. The bill in question has many good feet.
 ures which are recognised by the president. but the hteracy test i'm poses a restriction which operates un-
 Justly upon the people who would come
 to this country. In the en1eavor to
 keep out an undesirable class it's pro-
 Tisions are so broad as to include
 those who would make desirable citi- zens and those who are wanted to
 supply the labor market. That a for
 eigner can read in his own language
 does not exclude him from the unde-
 sirable class and does not guarantee
 that he will become a better Ameri-
 can. Instances are plenty where the
 illiterate immigrant has been of great
 value to this country and the proposed
 test does not cOnfine its operations
 to the iiliterate of southern Europe,
 but takes in all nationalities.
 Two presidents have now taken the same action on the immigration bill
 and the conviction of President Taft
 as to the i'll effect of the literacy test was not overbalanced by the large ma-
 jorities by which the bill passed both houses. How congress will receive the veto is uncertain The bill with the objectionable features eliminated would go through but congress must now assume the full responsibility if it goes through as now framed. If the literacy test was made a separate issue it would get action on it's own merits

CLEANING CUT GLASS.


 Cut glass is very fashionable now. and is used upon the dinner table and III the drawing room with great sue cess But, alas! How easily it can be shipped and spoiled What precau- tions can be taken with the precious pieces?
 Cut glass must be handled very carefully when it is washed so that no risk is fun of chipping it. A wooden bGWl will help.
 Place in a wooden bowl some shay ings of a mild white soap and pour over these boiling water.
 when the water has become luke warm wash the glass in the gsuds. using soft nail brush. Then dip the glass in a second wooden bowl. this time filled with clear 1ukewarm water, until a trace of soap is removed.
 Now dip the glass into third bowl of Iukewarm water to which bIuing hen been added (for the bluing will give a brilliance to the glass; and then dry 1t witha very soft cloth Polish it with soft tissue paper
 Gilded and patterned china may well be washed in the same careful way, but the bIuing should be omitted.

STOPPING LIQUOR SALES.

For the purpose of regula ting the 1iduor traffic. which continues to be carried on in the states which have declared against it. the advocates of restrictions have been conducting q strong campaign at Washington and have elicited much support from con- gress for the Webb bill. It is the profli bition states, which are unable to maintain prohibition, which realize the importance of such measure. Some of the southern states show the evil dence of liquor almost as prominent ly~ as with licenses, due to. the abil- ity to send into those states auanti- ties of liquor and the ingenious meth ods of disposing of it in the original package and thus overcoming the eff feet of local or state laws intended to operate as check to the sale of liquor.

A CLEVER IDEA.

In the narrow, envelope shaped hand bags of the moment it is difficult to find those heavier things that slip down inside the bag. It takes quite five minutes to discover the whereabouts of a key in ones bag, and as for find- ing those extra hairpins slipped in the bag for use in case of emergency, it is altogether impossible.
 So a Baltimore girl has. hit upon clever scheme suggested by necessity. She has purchased 8 set of the tiny gold filled safety pins to be had in the shops and with these she carefully pins to the lining of her bag near the top the various articles she wishes to reach in a hurry. She has pin for her key, another for her shopping list and a third for samples and srch things.
 She doesn't have to burrow around ih the bag to find what she wants and the bag keeps it's shape ever so much better as a result.
