THE windows Of the best florists
will suggest many ideas for the
arrangement of flowers in the
home. One of the first things that at
tra,t attention is the ingenious use
Of glass test tubes as flower holders
These little receptacles are OFTEN IN
visibly suspended among ferns ana
foliage By means OF heavy thread
slipped under the eurving rim OF the
tube. Another good way of Utilizing
them is to bend a thin wire around the
tube. twist the ends 20 form project
ing hook and hang the little tube over
the edge of flower dish or basket, the
tube coming inside or out. according TO
the arrangement of the flowers in the
main receptacle.

when the general servant was bond

"The servant girl gets the best Of
the bargain nowadays. think it is
perfectly right that she be paid high
wage, but also insist that she earn H..
She ought to feel that it is morally
wrong to take large wages without be-
ing able to return value received in eff
ficient labor"
Mrs. Marsh, as well as most Mont
clair housewives, realizes that some
thing is wrong when incompetent SER
wants are able to- get well-paying posi-
tions and the demand is greater than
the supply.
Eve do everything TO make the lot
Of the maid as pleasant as possible"
continued Mrs. Marsh. "We give them
rooms as comfortable as our own, We
have private bathrooms installed for
them, and in building our kitchens We
carefully plan out every detail to save
the maids labor and to make her work
light. And, in spite of that, our maids
are always leaving us, and we have
great trouble in finding any sort to
take their places.
Our Mothers at Fault.
"In this we are suffering for the sins
Of our mothers and of all the women
who have gone before. Because they
made the servants lot a difficult one
and branded her as an inferior we
are suffering from that stigma. Girls
still look upon domestic service
AS a degrading condition. They feel
, that they lose caste and become mental
by working in homes. So the most in
telligent of unskilled girls prefer the

of labor and comparatively small
wages.

status of the domestic servant by
making of our servants trained, ex-
perienced workers, with pride in their

that it is just as great thing to ere

in raising their labor to the standpoint

Women Dissatisfied.

In commenting on this reply Of the
President DR.. Frances Van Gssken,
senior physician of the Woman's Medi-
cal College, of Philadelphia, who was
one OF the three speakers to address
Mr.. Wilson, said:
"The Presidents statement to our
deputation to-day was both inconsistent
and illogical. Here is man who goes
to Congress and says: You must do
this and il is done. He offers power
full aid to the movement in behalf OF
Philippine independence and in the next
breath refuses to aid in accomplishing
the Acknowledgement of the women OF
America. Ii he had the conviction that
woman suffrage was right and just he
would aid US as no one else at the
present moment could. This he has
definitely declared he win never do"
Miss Alice Paul, chairman OF the
Congressional Union for Woman SUI
frage, said: by refusing his support

which will be voted on in the House Of
Representatives next week, President
Wilson. as leader Of the Democratic
party, has laid upon that party a yerS

WILSON ONCE MORE
SAYS mo- TO WOMEN
President Tells League he
Cannot Support Suffrage
Amendment.
lr,nm The TtInune Bureau. J

IRON lac lAAuA'N
Washington, Jan. 6.--Presldeht " "
SON announced once more to-day MS
unalterable opposition to the enact
ment Of constitutional amendment ioi
woman suffrage. He takes the ground
&C heretofore, that the suffrage is a
matter for the attention OF the ino'-
vidual states, and the rights OF extern
sion and restriction are inherently tue
rights of the states themselves and not
Of the fedora! government.
The occasion of this reiteration OF
the Presidents views was the VISIT oil
more than one hundred women, COM
losing the Wilson and Marshall League
of Democratic Women, and 1ilSoh
Gardner. They we're received IN the
East Room, and after the Presideh'
had made his short speech he enjoyed
listening to two or three quotations OF
his own utterances which certain OF
the suffragists seemed to accept as
committing him to the cause. This at
tempt TO draw the deadly parallel on
Mr.. Wilson was made BY Miss Alberta
Hill, of New York, who told the Presi-
dent that from his past remarks on the
subject it was very evident that he
would make "a splendid suffrage
speaker"
81 can see that am not able to ar
que as we'll as you ladies'" laughed the
President.
The Wilson and Marshall League was
headed by Mrs. George A. Armes, of
the District of Columbia, who acted as
spokesman and made a few explana-
tory remarks as to the purposes OF the
organization, which, she assured the
President, was composed only of Dem
ocrats.
State by State, Says Wilson.
81 want to say that nobody can look
on at the tight you are making without
great admiration" said the President
"and | certainly am one Of those VINO
admire the tenacity and the skill and
the address with which you try to pro-
mote the matter that you are inter
csted in.
"But |, ladies, am tied to conYic'
ton which have had all my life, that
changes of this sort ought to be
brought about state by state. II II
were not matter Of female suffrage II
IL were a matter of any other thine
connected with suffrage, would hold
the same opinion. II is long standing
and deeply matured conviction on mS
mart. and therefore would be without
excuse to my own constitutional prln

TT HE tricks of the spies and the
ingenuity displayed by army
officers in fitting them out on
one side and hunting them down Oh
the other have been among the most
dramatic features OF the war.
A successful spy may do enormous
harm 10 the side he is workin:
against. For instance, he may in
dictate the position Of the command
ing general and his staff. and enable
the enemy by a well-directcd volley
OF artillery TO wipe the headquar-
tiers organization oft of existence.
The spy's work is so much feared
that when one is caught he is exc
cuted as quickly as possible and in
the most terrifying manner. He does
not receive the benefit of every pos
Eiole doubt, like a murderer on trial

Overwhelming proof of his guilt was
found. Twelve French soldiers put
twelve bullets through his body
with hearty goodwill, and he was
lett by the roadside in the dramatic
manner shown in the photograph.
Another traitor, as related hy the
French newspapers, was French
shepherd, who led his flock of sheen

battery, by previous arrangement
with the Germans. After he had
fingered here a few minutes he pru-
IDENTIFY passed on. AS soon as he
was out of sight storm of Ger
man shells fell upon the place where
his sheep had been. This attack put
three French guns out of action and
killed number of valuable French
artillerymen.
Another French traitor indicated
the position Of his countrys artil-
lery by means of fires at night. He
was caught and promptly executed
IL the same way as the others.
