that the House refused to admit the truth of the suffrage argument that the Federal goYernmente should inter fere with the franchise of the states in any way.
 For these reasons the action of the Judiciary committee is without mean Ing and without effect. It creates the impression that members of the com mlttees Wearied by the rectoring tac- ties of the suffragistsS and Knowing that no action on the resolution is pos slbie, laid the resolution before the House without recommendation,' in order to rid themselves of the nuis- ance.
 Everybody else understands@and it l IS high time for the suffragists to un- derstand-that if they expect to make any headway they must work in the states and not expect aid from the Federal government on a proposition (which the statesmen of the country say the Federal government should not touch or effect.

CONGRESS DECLINES TO
 CONSIDER SUFFRAGE
F'ron Mrs. John H. Buck, Press Chairman Representing the Con-
 necticut Association Opposed to M Woman Suffrage.)

Woman suffrage is dead, so far as this Congress is concerned. The re- cent action of the House committee on the Judiciary in reporting with out recommendation" the resolution providing for a suffrage amendment to the Federal Constitution. was a legis- Iative farce, and the members of the committee thoroughly appreciated this fact when they took such action. Con gress has decided once for all not to give any Federal announcement to the woman Suffrage propaganda.
 Owing to the condition of the House calendar it would be impossible to ob- tain. consideration of the resolution in the House except by means of a. special rule.
 But this was not all that was done to end the suffrage question in the House. Members of Congress from the suffrage states insisted that the Democratic party should hold a eau GUS to decide the party's policy on this issue. The caucus voted overwhelm- ingly against Congress taking any ac- ton fa,voring woman suffrage and a few days later MT.

THE LAST MOMENT

Dear Miss Libbey:
 sMay I please ask your advice upon the following misfortune2 have a little sweetheart of a very quick-tem7 pered, yet very loving young man. I have not known a great while-about eighteen months. He moved across the street from us. His parents. whom he lives with, are very well off. My parent is hardly conf fortabIe-a widow mother, whose eye sight in failing, She depends on me My lover and I. when arranging for our marriage which was to be soon, quarreled- All because, at the last moment I en- treated that my mother share my home. His words of our breaking off, that he did not know he was to mar ry two, stung me. Ought to try again to touch his feelings? Poor mother and need him, if any one | ever did.a

for sewing, you will be able to make
 one of these belts inside of an hour,
 at the most. Lack of knowledge of what materials to use might prove a
 serious stumbling block, but this is
 where I can prove, of assistance as I
 know, even if you do not, that you
 will need to use elastic webbing for
 ths belt proper and that it should be lined with thin rubber. The straps
 which keep this belt in place are made of elastic braid.
 You can now see how easy It VIII
 be to duplicate the dainty belt shown in the picture. Do, not waste time but make one this very day and don | it tonight just before you creep into bed.

 'sA married woman's visiting card does not differ in size from the one used by an unmarried woman. Her husbands full name, with Mrs pre- fixed to it, appears on the card.

Sisnifieanee of Little Things.

We love little things. We hate little things. We fear little things. Our lives are knit up with little things from the time We are born to the day we die.
 Big things draw us up to heaven or crush us down to hades. Little things live beside us on the earth, eat and sleep with Us. laugh and grumble with us. catch tue early train with us or make us miss it. irritate md appease us-never leave Us alone for Il minute
 That is why they are so much more important than the big things-the things that come only once in way. at long Intervals. and even then are nearly always the result of u hundred and one little things combined.
 To be crushed by large misadven- ture is natural. but to fall victim to series of petty misfortunes k hu- initiating. There are many who would prefer to break their necks once and for all by falling of a mountain than to brujse their whole bodies und dis locate their tempers by the daily stum- bling over a molehill. 1t Is the little things that count The satisfaction of climbing Mount Olympus is poor sort of attainment if the scores and scores of pleasant details which wait upon success be absent.-Atlantic.
