The Dcfeat of Local optson.

The defeat of the local option bill is dis
agreeable surprise. not 30 much because it failed
success but because Of the large majority Ny
which II went down. This Legislature IL very
far from being with the Governor this vital
issue. IT was plank in his personal platform
for which he spoke and which he stood In
his campaign, and his triumphant election may
be fairly construed an Endorsement Of local
option by the people of Pennsylvania.
In his inaugural address the Governor told
the Legislature 1.-The people have right to de-
eide for themselves whether or not intoxicating
liquors shall be sold in their several counties
/ gave solemn assurance to the people that I
favored such \ law. Your Governor asks
you to Join with him in its enactment" This
request has been denied, It Is the Governors
first defeat, but do not believe that he will
accept it as final.
The local option issue has long been live
one In this State. 1t has gained new force
recently just as the dry movement has been
gaining and gradually securing majortties in
many States Governor Brumbaugh alfgnfng
himself with local option in his campaign
brought 1t to the front In this State and Is like
postponed, but cannot easily be suppressed. In
the next legislative election the local option
question Is bound to reappear that the vote
of yesterday will be revived at the polls.
We have neigh borhood- local option now,
through remonstrances against saloon in a
residential district We have tudge-made local
option in eleven counties in which the courts
refuse to grant licenses To extend this prn-
cple so that each county may determine the
matter by vote of the people is going only
a step further. In Governor Brumbaugh's
opinion every consideration Of moment favors
such procedure" AS the lower branch OF
the Legislature refuses to add its favor the
issue will have to be passed upon again and
more directly by the people.-Philadelphia

What Will You Give the June Bride?

Venture Into the Originate

which the young housekeeper Of to-day
takes such pride.
As silver platters and the matching
vegetable dishes are so generally used
now and are among every display OF
wedding gifts, one is safe in sending
bride a dozen plates of effective china.
Sets of ramekns or boullon cups OF
a white and gold decoration can be
used with any color service plate.
Furniture has become so much less
expensive that nowadays it is not con-
fined to the family list of gifts, as OF
yore. A suitable and useful gift is
nest Of the small mahogany tables,
which can be got for sl2 and up.
The serviceable little piecrust or tip
.op tables of mahogany sell for 81 and
are very good looking for the price.
Single pieces of quaint painted furni-
ture would make a charming gift sure
to please the young housekeeper. For
a girl who has announced that she is
to have a blue living room two of these
fascinating chairs with a shiny, dark
blue background with gay flowers have
been ordered.
Last June two brides had unusual
wedding gifts in the nature Of porch
equipment, a friend fitting out their
verandas with rugs, smart wicker
seats and tables.

not in position to spend much on

But to refer again to the subject OF

~ VEN with the myriad fascinating
II things the shops have to Offer
- the choosing of wedding gift
is still often a task. One clever woman
who has been giving presents for years
SAYS she always sends something that
she would like herself. 1t is wise
plan to aim TO find something little
unusual, still not thing so decidedly
different tina: it may appear grotesque
among the other furnishings Of the
house. Pictures should be chosen care
fully. Many a young housekeeper has
wept because she has had to hang
picture utterly out of harmony with
the rest of her room. French prints,
small etchings or good photographers,
well framed, will always find well
come place.
The giving of silver is popular, and
rightly so. Still, il one is not planning
10 present large, handsome piece, far
better send a set Of two or three good
hooks than a little silver vase, which
will possibly find itself duplicated a
dozen times over. A recent bride had

TEA TRUE BLUE,

1t was found that they contained Prus-
sian blue in proportions of from to 10
parts in 100000.
Ii was conceded by the government
that it was impossible TO prove any
thing against Prussian blue, but the
experts stubbornly contended that it
was a color, and therefore the tea must
be rejected.

JUNE THANKSGIVING
FOR NEEDY. FAMILY
Appeal of Mother and Children
Brings Food, Clothing and
Promises of Work.

1t was Thanksgiving Day in East
Eightieth Street yesterday. When
Marcella went down to buy a loaf OF
bread for breakfast she found a big
bundle on top of the mail box. 1t con-
tanned two pretty, brand new gingham
dresses TO herself and big sister
Anna. A little note with the dresses
said: Dear Marcella: hope you will
like the little brown dress, for have
on1 just like it. Be sure to wear a red
ribbon in your hair. Inclosed please
find 80 cents to buy something for the
baby. F-om little friend"
Next came big negro, bringing q
note from a kind hearted woman who
wants to give Mrs. Miles some wash

was hit next. AS he passed the corner
store on his way TO school a man
stopped him. "Hey, sonny" said ne,
ARE you the son of Mrs. Elizabeth
Miles? All right, here's a quarter for
you"
SO it went all day long. The pathetic
plight of five children and their de-
spondent mother has touched the
generous hearts of New York. With
their father dying in Metropolitan
Hospital an their mother afraid to
accept charity from "the society"
which she feared would take her chill
dren away from her, the future indeed
looked dark for the five little Mileses.

IS" THAT does one invariably find
w when there is an unusually
unmanageable economic
and social upheaval in this country ?"
asked Mrs. Raymond Robins, president
Of the National Women'5 Trade Union
League, leaning forward in enthusiasm.
Zone finds either one of two contingent
cies. The one is that the disturbance
is caused by foreigners, who have not
become citizens, or are in no way or
ganized. The other is that women are
involved. In one way or another diff
culties are always tied up with lack of
the ballot And that is why the labor
unions stand for citizenship, both for
the men who are otherwise neglected
and for the women"
And so Mrs. Robins explained one
of the fundamental principles Of her
cause Solidarity makes for good citi-
zenship. And good citizenship involves
most of the other goods to which man
or woman may aspire.
Women must be organized. Unless
they are they do not know that they
are being wronged. And not TO know
is the worst phase of the situation.
Women have been slow in organizing
compared with the activities OF men in
this direction. And of course there are
many obvious reasons. The first rea-
son is the comparative youth of the
necessity for organization among them,
and the second is the lack of under
standing on the part of women as TO
the necessity for their acceptance OF
personal responsibility in the move

at is the spirit of revolt that makes
for progress. But it Is not quite so
simple to revolt when that means the
casting off of your only means of live
lihood. But she had it. She stopped
work and went to the Pratt Institute
in New York in order to study the
theory of sewing, that which she had
known through most of her life through
practice. And that started her in her
work of educating the working girl.
"She it was who planned the machine
operating department for girls at the
Manhattan Trade School. And now she
is known as the fighting unionist."
But one might mention other women
in numbers who have risen from moth

which do and necessarily must stife

burden which their sisters carry, first
feel with all their strong natures, then
think, and finally act.
