Mss Nelson. who is interested in the
Gospel Mission and other phllanthropic
organizations. has long thought that
there is pressing need in Washington
for place where young working girls
may be helped to make themselves useful
and be afforded clean and healthy ways
of amusement and recreation
Her idea is to start place where
girls can be taught useful things and at
the same time feel free to really amuse
themselves, without too much restraint.
Miss Nelson's idea is to have a girls
club somewhere in the central section o!
the city and to have a home in the
suburbs. She owns q large house In
Berwyn Heights which she is ready t,
turn over to the project to form Z

AS a matter of fact, opals are az

height just before death. caused the

This confirmed the superstition, and
to this day there are sane and able

calamities.
Probably another reason for the dis
trust excited in opals is the fact that
they change and lose their color That
Is due to the softness and porousness

A species of opal known q the
hydrophane, found in small quantities
lately in Colorado, has wonderful
powers Of absorption. In its usual
state it is Of yellowish, wary tint,
but when water is dropped upon it
the tint passes slowly away, and from
being translucent it becomes trans

water evaporates In IN hour, leaving
the stone as 1t was before.
