Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blateh made
q ringing speech at Cooper Union, In
New York, when 5000 women met To
protest against war. Her words were
rewarded again and again with an
llause, but these brought forth tumuIt:
Men don't go into powder magazines
Carrying lighted matches, because they
know the nature Of powder. But they
don't know human nature.
%Al the diplomatic posts of the
world should be filed with women be-
czuse they are natural diplomats. The
reason for their diplomacy is that they
know human nature and, knowing II,
have the grace and patience to handle
Il Men are blind on the human ma
ture side. When they attempt to han
de questions involving men they han
de them as they would catte-by
force or terror. With women they
have a softer hand, thouf l that is IN
der protest It is q concession to what
men have long tolerated, though with
poor grace, woman's loneliness
Women provide the curves Of hu-
man nature, men the angles, and It Is
a curious comment that the curves I'M
derStand the angles, but to the angles !
the curves remain to the last a mys-
tery. Men have a giimmering sense OF
this extra knowledge Of women, but |
not one Of them has been clever
enough or gallant enough to give IT its
night name They have talked Of wo-
mems intuition. their strange, half
chldhke, half animal scent Of the true
character, but not once have they ap-
Piled the term that fits that rare and
needful character. The word Is 'pene-
atiOn'
"A man and woman stand beside the
stream Of human nature. Man sees
the bright surface Of IT. He notes the
sWifmess or slowness OF its current.
A woman sees the mud and the peb-
bles at the bottom"

reYs and the Imanination.


When you have put into a ehild's
hands an extremely elaborate toy It
cannot and does not satisfy his imagi-
nation. He viii play for a whole day
with a train made Of chairs, because
imagination enters the game, the arm
chair Is an engine. the sofa Is a sleep
Ing car. another armchair Is the bag

II you give him a perfect thing his
Imagination Is not exercised; there Is
no part for 1t to take In the game,
there Is nothing to be done with the
mechanical model except 10 break It
open and see how It works. Indeed,
more summary methods are sometimes
attractive. A little boy Of four years
old, to whom an elaborate working
model OF a motor car had been present
ed, after watching It work for a few
minutes, took It up n his hand and
hurled It to the ground with a smile
Of satisfaction. It was the only thing
he could think Of doing with il.
That Is why the hoop or the train Of
chairs or the rough and grotesQue toy
train win always give more real pleas
ure than the most elaborate machinery
that can be conceived, that Is why the
rag doh or the woolly lamb win always
he nearer the hearts affections than
the most wonderfully equipped and

hind each chair. her hands on fits back
The girl behind the vacant chair Sc
lects a boy and literally gives him
a wink" ThereupOn he tries to get
from his chair to hers. His partner.

his chair. must be quick enough to
intercept the wink and place her hands
on his shoulders to restrain him. II
she Is successful the girl behind the
empty chair must try again and I'M
I'll she has secured a partner. Then.
Of course, there Is another chair 10 be
filed In the same way.
It Is a strict rule that the hands Of
the girls must remain on the backs
Of the chairs except when restraining
G deserving partner. As all girls do
not wink with equal facility or grace
and no chance for practice Is given,
you can count on roars Of laughter
from this very simple game

Nothing restores a tired body and
brain more completely than a refresh
ing bath and a change into fresh. clean
clothing.
Get into the habit of keeping several
changes Of shoes and change your
shoes every night when you come
home. It is a great rest to tired feet.
Cold water Is a splendid preventive
OF wrinkles, making the skin firm and
smooth. The face should be washed
In cold water every morning.

use a little ammonia In the water they
battle in every day II would keep the

Little girls clubs are so easy to con-
duct that 1t must indeed be a hard
hearted mother who, having once had
the plan suggested to her, could refuse
to give one afternoon q week to her
young daughter.
The size OF the club may vary as
found desirable. Five are enough to
have a pleasant time together. Twelve
are really all one person can handle.
The club must have a name The
children are full Of ideas on this sub
Jet. Sunshine Band, Happy Hour club,
Busy Bees, Flower society and Help

ally suggested 1t may or may not be
wise to have a president or club dues
Each individual leader will have to de-
eide this for herself. A club badge,

color ribbon. Is a source Of great pleas

The object Of the club win neces-
sarily vary with the tastes Of the chill

cality.
Game circles and dancing classes are
always pleasant Glee clubs are, where
the leader is a capable musician, the
greatest success Of all. The concert
which the small members give Is an
event Of which the parents never cease
to talk.

While New York city has not had
much snow this winter, there have
been several days when the hills In
Central park were covered with a
hard, Icy crust that made coasting a
delight You may be assured that the
young folks Of the great city who live
anywhere near that famous play
ground made the most OF the oppor-
tunity provided by old King Boreas.
Sad to relate, a fatal accident occur
red on one OF the hills in the park. A
little boy in endeavoring to avoid an
other coaster slid into a tree and was
killed. Coasting Is not a dangerous
sport, but children are often careless
at play, and when a hill Is long and
Icy It Is not wen for very little folks
to attempt to coast alone. The acct
dent Of course, was a great shock to
the boys playmates. and perhaps most
Of them needed the lesson It taught.
