that is never lightly brushed aside.
The girl who receives her lover in
her parlor impresses him, though
perhaps unconsciously. with the
sanctity the responsibility, the dig
nifty of home. The girl whose par
Tor is the streets may be good and
pure and sweet, and usually is, but
girls whose object is not moral also
meet men on the streets, and the
similarity upsets his moral balance.
An Impression.
The girl in the parlor usually has
a father or a mother in the next
room, and the young man who calls
is impressed with the fact that there
is some one loving her, shielding
her, to whom he will have to account
if he offends. The girl on the street
corners is without mother or
father so far as any impression of
personal security goes. She is
thrown out like a waif; If she be-
comes a derelict the father or mother
who refused her the privilege of re-
ceiving her lover in her parlor is to
blame.
The memory of parents is crimi-

W THEN evening came with the
wv shadows she let her little
frail hands fall into her lap
as If every muscle and tendon had
suddenly burst. Her fnely-shaped
dark haired head rested on the table.
She was sitting in front Of her sew
ing machine, at which she had been
working all day. All around her were
scraps of silk and wooden goods,
fashion papers and patterns lay in
piles on the table, and when she
moved her arms some of them
dropped on the floor Her head was
dizzy with complete exhaustion. She
was unable to think, but felt the in
creasing darkness as a blessing which
put an end to the toll Of the day.
1t was ten years of work that had
aged her. These years had been 10
her like one long walk through an
endless desert without a single oasis
TO relieve the monotony; ner feet
had left no tracks on the sands; not
a single cry from her lips had bean
responded to: nobody had met her on
the way to shake her hand.
But on the other side all these
years of weary thraldom there We're a
few years when she had been young
and had lived. In those years the
two had sat together watching the
coming Of dark, and were glad and
laughed at everything.
She was young then, and worked
for small wages in a dressmaking
shop He had long hair, dreaming
eyes, an inexhaustible fund Of hope,
and a violin-that was all but he
was an artist. He was young, gave
lessons on the violin and managed to
make both ends meet. He was al
ways bright and happy. Nobody
could laugh as he could or cheer her
up as he could. He knew how 10

There has been such a decline of
recent years in the marriage rate of
Trieste that one Of the civic digni-
taries suggests the institution of q
system of compulsory matrimony.
1t is proposed that on given date
in each year all spinsters who have
attained their twenty fifth year and
bachelors who have attained their
thirueth should be required to pre-
sent themselves before the syndic in
whose Jurisdiction they reside. The
names of those who on medical ex-
animation prove to be thoroughly
sound would be sorted according to
sex, placed in separate urns, and
then drawn two at a time. The cou-
pies whose names are drawn to-
gether would, at the conclusion Of
the draw, be united forthwith by the
syndic.

The First Figure.

The first figure on top might
stand for number of ideas-in-
jured innocence is the most
dramatic idea that it suggests.
To me it simply is a harmonious
ly simple pose, in which body
and face express quiet dignity.
Try it yourself-fOr it looks very
easy to take a pose like this.
But to stand poised firmly and
gracefully on one foot, with the
whole body balanced. ready to
spring into motion and life and
still at rest, is quite a feat The
ability to stand gracefully is rare
for people generally balance
on heels or toes, or sag awk-
wardly on one hip.
Let me suggest an exercise for
the acquisition of ability to stand
gracefully. Balance the weight
on the ball of the right foot, let
the right arm hang easily at the
side. Sway the body slightly to
the left and raise the left arm to
the chest, at the same time rising
on the toes of the left foot until
the weight is all balanced on the
right foot. Then sway the weight
gradually to the left foot, rising
on the right toe and lifting the
right arm to the chest. Simply
sway from foot to foot in exactly
the posture that figure one shows

WE SHALL WIN

The Socialist party has made no
advance upon the bulwarks of CAPT
talism that has filled the writer with
such a degree of enthusiasm as the
present one, to capture the public
school system. AS a teacher and a
red card socialist l am in hearty ac-
cord with Comrade J. r.. Sinclair in
approaching the vast possibilities for
the socialist movement in reaching
the growing generation through the
school. In making any new advance
there are always those who are timid
and fearful of what is ahead. For
their benefit l can say that in Snoho-
mish county the way has already been
blazed. Last year as county organic
er the writer made a trip over this
county, and having in mind the time
when concerted action would be taken
to gain control of the schools, made
inquiry in every rural district visited
and found with but few exceptions
from one to three socialist members
on the school boards A few years of
action and the schools are
ours. J. NJ SALTER,

To Workers.:

Land one a day. Get the habit.

The comrade whose heart is upon
doing what he can in selling subscrip-
tions for the Lyceum course, will find
his success limited only by the time
he may devote to canvassing, and by
nothing else. Possibly the best plan
is to arrange each day list of say
four or five prospects that can be
easily reached the same evening.
Stick to the instructions given in the
Blue Pages in the book; be enthusiast
tic, confident, and prepared to change
a dollar, or five; have a lead pencil
ready with a point in it; learn at least
one new prospect, get through, leave
a leaflet, then call again. You will
land him!

16, 1913
The school campaign is on. Once
more the socialist party finds itself
face to face with a more important
election than that of last November
and the time is ripe for all socialists
to lend their assistance in capturing
the board of education. AS we social
lists carry on. an endless train of edu-
cational campaign, the school is the
most important factory at the present
time, for the emancipation of those
who toll. Capitalism in the past has
paid little or no attention to the
schools as they are a product of the
master class. The books that are
used are filled with master class ideas
and teachers have in the past been
ignorant of their real meaning. But
owing to the never ceasing socialist
propaganda some of these slaves (that
means the teachers) have opened their
eyes as to the prevailing condition
that now confronts society. Owing to
the working class enlightment, Mr..
Capitalist crawls out of his den, wraps
himself in the Stars and Stripes, then
asks the children of the working class
to salute him Cor is it the flag Think

The Commonwealth:
Dear Comrades-The socialist party
of Washington has been indeed for
tunate to have had such a paper as
the Commonwealth to carry its mes
sage, unite it's membership, and stand
like a stone wall against the compro-
mise of its principles.
In the rapid growth Of our party
within the last few years there has
been the inevitable danger OF it's de
moralization by the opportunists that
fasten like leeches on a popular cause
In that crisis the Commonwealth has
beeu invaluable.
Our members have stood staunchly
for straiehthewn tactics that mean
enduring growth.
I can guess that the publication OF
paper like this is no easy task
know that IT must be a continual strug
gle against indifference, hostility and
financial stress.
