try here is. the worst as far as work and pay is concerned but have not yet ben able to get close enough in touch with the situation to make an authoritative statement.
 If we organize the corset workers here, which we have no doubt will be done within few weeks, they will all work on the protocol system as is now effective in the larger cities. By this system there will be a shop chair lady to collect fees to the union and take complaints to the proper source. The chair-ladies will be elected by the shop workers. They can be changed whenever necessary. The complaints are sure of just determination for they can be taken up by the union throuSh the business agents and if necezgarv can go to a board of arbitration or even to a grievance committee formed by the unions and the Manufactures association with non-partisan head selected by both. There will be no more charge for needles and thread as I understand is sometimes the rule here.
 The particular thing I have noticed nthis city is the preponderance of Burns and Pinkerton men located in the Hobbies of the hotels. in the the atres, parks and about the big Rem ington U. M. c. plant I have just come from Roosevelt, N. J., and had not been in this city five minutes be fore I saw three detectives that I had seen in Roosevelt and during five min utes in Washington park I recognized and was in turn recognized by foLr others who had been down there dur ing the rioting.''
 Miss scuIly said that she expected to remain in this city organizing the vvo- men until the entire efght-hour si51a- tion was cleared here. Other women organizers have been sent throughout New England in the campaign that as fnow being waged.

CTS appears to be a failure. My way is not clear to take the risk, further :! know of no young lady who appealed to me- I have an old maid cousin, 2o years older than myself, who stated to me last fall she would like to keep house for me. This unexpected prop osition caught me unprepared to make a reply I made none, simply allowed her to talk on. was attentive lis tener. At last an opportunity came for me to say something along other lines. The subject was not again men toned. I have not seen her since She is a noble woman, has a lovely dlspos:- ton, sterling character, benevolent, conscientious, trustworthy, lives beautiful, sincere Christian life. I feel proud that she made this the only of fer of the kind she ever made to me. yet I cannot accept it. She is not good cook and housekeper, is only fair. I would not offend this good soul for the world. What excuse, if any, should I make? Kindly answer.
 Let the offer remain unmentioned. Silence on your part will result in her forgetting what to you seems unpleas- antness. You probably will not be set tled down in a, home until some young woman appeals to you. Then you will not hesitate as to the happy result, seeing your way clearly.

 Attorneys Admire It

In the quaint old chirography of day and generation long past, and written on paper fragrant with lasven- der and raignonette, the will of Eliza J. Jones was admitted to probate yes terday. She wrote the document her self and it is entirely free from legal phrasing. It was examined with in terest by several prominent attorneys today and pronounced so clear and explicit in it's provisions that the law yers said it would stand any legal test.
 Mrs Jones was possessed of consid- erable real estates all of which she leaves 3u her husband John H.sJones. who is named executor without bonds. She desired to give her piano to St. Luke,s Sunday school. but on learning that the school has a piano she directs that the Instrument be given one of the public schools.

WOMAN ORGANIZER DISCUSSES
 A. F. OF |. PLANS FOR CITY;
 MEETS MANY StEUTHSa HERE
Corset Workers and Ammunition Plant Employees Are To Be Unionized, Says Mary Seully, Just Arrived From New Jersey Labor Troubles.

Mary Scul1y, woman organizer of the American Federation of Labor, who has arrived in this city, has begun or ganizati tion of. women labor in this city under the Federal unions. She will be joined by John Roche, head of the Federal union organizers of the United States, and later it isx expected that about fifteen organizers of many tongues will join the force.
 The first shop that will be organized, said Miss Scully to reporter for The Farmer who found her at the Atlantic hotel will be the Union Metallic Car fridge company. The next and prob ably the most important step that will be taken in conjunction with the ma chinis4s' effort to get an eight hour day throughout Bridgeport will be in the Warner Brothers Corset factory which will be followed by the George c. BatcheI1er & Go. plant.
 ttThe corset workers of this country have never been organized and as they are now under the Ladies' Garment oWrkers of the Federation of Labor and are not getting the hours, the pay or in any other way living up to the schedule of the ladies' garment naak- CTS they have long been a thorn in the flesh of unions in other states
 While I have not been in this city long enough to get comprehensive idea of the situation, can say that I find the girls here to be working ex- tremely long hours. They go to work at T o'clock while the girls in New York do not have to go to their work until 8oclock.
 Just what the pay at the U. M. c. company to girls is I cannot find out. as those girls I have seen tell me that today is payday at the big plant and the day on which the promised ad- vance in wages is due. I will be able to tell tonight just what the pay may be in relation to the hours worked. q 11ndersfand that fhA- corset indus

IS LOVE A BUBBLE?

Where wild storms have ne'er been The wreeks of the sea lie low and

 Thus the hearts surface may sparkle

 It is very romantic maiden now adays who win waste her precious hours thinking with sorrow over some lovers inconstancy. Days are too in useless repining. The sensible hearted girl loses no time in looking around and gaining another, who shall prove more worth the loving.
 The heart throws off it's woes all in good time, though in some instances there may be long delays. By patient awiting we can find what appeals to us in loves market. You cannot re- call one throb of love experienced from memory's storehouse or one grief that has not been dullest, which has come to heart from love unreturned or gone astray.
 Forget our grievances, if they are not serious, which you have persistent ly stored up against one you were de- voted to. Do not hold love to be a bubble which is easily wiped out when you know in your own mind that he who inspired true affection is the one man on earth who loved you better than all others until that unpleasant ending.
 It takes two to agree tp part. Two can make up just as easily. In the ] first days of courtship, you knew of the good qualities he possessed.

THE KIND OF PAPER TO USE

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 Please tell me what kind of station. cry is being used now What kind will be used all this next year? Should it be rnonogra med, and would it be prop-4 CT to have it perfumed just a tiny bit? I have been a constant reader and would appreciate your auvice-
 B. H. monogram in the upper. Aeft-hand cor ner is correct. A perfumed sachet may be placed in your writing desk. but the odor on the. paper must be very elusive. Perfume offends quite as many people as it pleases among the sterner sex.

Berlin Aug. IA meeting last night of the, leaders of the National Liberal Party in Berlin expressed un- aninous condemnati ton of intrigues against Chancellor Bethmann-Ho11- veg. It was declares that the atti- tude of opposition to the chancellor as expressed recently in certain party circles does not represent the opinion of the party as a whole.
