WHAT wOMEN CAN DO

Occasionlgy we hear some man
Icriticising the city's getting white
way" Perhaps he was not consulted
about It sufficiently. We double-dare
him to attend a meeting OF the Ladies'
Civic Association and chirp about it.
The ladies, and they alone, are re-
sponsible and TO them alone belongs
the great credit. 5,.s.
3sMen who areR always gRunbline
about the cost of school houses and
church buildings and referring to the
good old days of log schools and earth
floors and puncheon board seats,--
we'll, we observe that they like to
occupy the choice pews in the biggest
churches Gil the same. Not that
steeples and pews count for religion.
but God himself set the example when
he had the temple OF Solomon made
just as perfect and as beautiful as
possible.

"the old home place" show decided
inclination to locate In just the mob
best and swellest places they can af-
ford on the swellest street in town
with the swellest neighbors and--theri
they gwell up themselves. II man

a fresh clean shave aud to adorn his
perSon and TO surround himself with!

to just the best schools available and
TO go to the biggest church on SUM

few things.
