is held a library program after which
light refreshments are served. The
papers which the league rented from
''The Congress of Mothers" proved
to be instructive and useful. After
the reading of one of these papers
entitled, "School Lunches and How
to Prepare Them" the mothers de-
cided to furnish once week hot
lunch for the children for which the
sum Of two cents was to be charged.
Two mothers each month volunteered
to furnish the lunches. The proceeds
being sent to the mothers to pay for
the material used.
The league sold library buttons to
the amount of SO, which started a
library. The Washington's birthday
party Melted SIS, which was also used
for the library. With other contribu-
tions of books of library now con-
tains one hundred, fifty volumes.
The annual lawn party Melted $34,
which was placed in bank for sink

Dear Miss Libbey: am near-en-
gagged girl of %. A gentleman has
been calling on me for two years. He
has often remarked to me, also to
my friends, "Some day Bess and /
will get married." but I cannot get it
out of him, when nor will he buy me
an engagement ring, saying: "I'll at
tend to that in due time" He changes
the subject when I begin to talk of
it. Both my older and younger sis
tiers think he isn't on the marry. They
say ought to bring him to time. How
can II BESSIE M. G.
Your sisters are quite right. In two
years the young man has had more
than ample time either to ratify his
promise of marriage by purchasing
the engagement ring or tell when he
will do so. Lose no time in setting
a near date for the marriage. Fail
ing in this, do not permit him to call.
Dismiss him; he will then have plen-
ty of time to think it over, Coming
to time" as your sisters phrase it,
or announcing his willingness to give
you up. It is a grave mistake for a
girl to give her time exclusively up
to man who pays her attention year
in and year out without intention Of
marrying.

The other Woman,s Wav

Each on his own strict line, we move
And some find death e'er they find
love;
So far apart their lives are thrown
From the twin souls that halve their
own;
And sometimes, by still harder fate,
The lovers meet, but meet too late.
Thy heart is minel True, true, ali true
The love thy hand! All, no, adieur'
When in batch of some &C. letters
one finds 81 from wives complaining
of the elasticity of their husbands
hearts-eaeh putting forth the same
query: "How do these other women
gain such influence ?"-much as
dislike the subject, these correspond
ents cannot be ignored.
When a woman has passed success
fully through tender courtship, which
has resulted in marriage, it seems to
me she has passed the crisis of uncer-
tainty as to how to win and hold q
mans affection against all conlers.
These letters, many of them tear
stained all betray the same wonder
ment. "What mystical charm does
the other woman possess to under
mine the happiness and sanctity of
the home and wife 2"
From all that can see or hear, can
learn by tale or history and patient
research, the facts, shorn of their
romance and roseate glow, seem to
resolve into this truth: The woman
who lives by her wits makes the art
of charming her life study. Very
often the wife in her zeal to make
children and home all that they should
be, neglects her own personal ap-
pearance.
The woman who has no tangible
hold on a man knows that it is fatal
to. look unlovely in his eyes. She is
dainty to the smallest detail. A wife
dares to differ with her husbands
opinions. The charner hears him say
