January 12-Caroline Severance,
Elizabeth Spence.

Caroline Severance, sometimesa called
the mother of women's clubs" was born
ninety-fve years ago today in New York
State. She received good education as
a girl and shared the many broadening
influences that swept through the coun-
try. affecting the thought OF women,
during the latter part of the first half
Of the nineteenth century.
In 1868 she became the first president
of the New England WOman's Club,
which came into being a few weeks be-
fore Sorosis had its origin, and for that
reason she is known as the pioneer Of
all women club members in this country.
Both in Cleveland and in Boston, where
she made her home for many years, she
worked tirelessly in the cause OF wom-
an suffrage and her lectures for the
cause had wide influence in various parts
of the country.
Elizabeth Isabella Spence, who was
born in Scotland in 176S, was a writer of
considerable fame during her lifetime.
She was the only child of physician,
and became an orphan in her babyhood.
She was adopted by her uncle and aunt
and by their death when a young girl she
was deprived of all relatives. Thus left
alone she turned her thoughts to writ
ing, and though 1t was only a diversion
to begin with, she soon took it up as a
profession. She was a niece OF the ia
nous PRESBYTERIAN divine. James For
dyCe, noted for his brilliant oratory and
his piercing eye.

YOUR CANARY BIRD
IS WORTH MORE NOW
War Conditions in Germany Have Ad-
vanced the Price of Favorite
SongSterS.

DO you want to buy a bird?" asked
the cheerful little man in one Of Wash
ington's leading pet stores yesterday.
Not today" answered the representa-
tive of the WoHan's Herald. We simply
want to know whether the war has had
any effect on the price Of canaries."
And then the cheerful little bird man
explained the situation:
The time was, not very long ago" he
said, when you could get n good canary
for two dollars and a half. Now, since
the war in Europe. a good bird costs
three dollars and a half. and some Of
them bring five dollars. Whereas a few
months ago, five dollars would have been
regarded as an exorbitant price for a
songster. Most OF our birds come from
st. Andrewsberger and the Hartz noun
tains in Germany, for the peasants in
those regions are better able to raise
canaries tnan any one else in the world
LAS soon as the war began the bird
dealers in this country began to wonder
when they would get their next shipment
of canaries. because they knew that the
German canary dealers would soon be at
the 'front.' and they also knew that in
times of war, consignments Of birds
would not have right Of way on the Ger
man railroads over munitions Of war.
Finally. however, a large shipment did
get through. via Amsterdam to Philadel-
phia, and every bird was snapped up at
once by eager dealers. OF course the
price went soaring"
But parrots and parrakeets, and cocka-
toos have not gone UP for. they are pPO-
ducts OF the GUatemalan and Hondurian
forests, where peace still reigns Perhaps
these clever little creatures, whose
splendid plumage offsets the fact that
they have no song, will become more
popular then ever before.

British Soldiers Do Not Sing All
the Words ont the March.


British soldiers do not sing all the
words OF any song or even the chorus.

Paris edition of the New York Herald
They have a way of humming the tune,
often rather low and then swelling out
altogether in the words or a particular
phrase or sentiment. To hear them muir
murinG the words Of the recruiting song,
We don't want to lose you, but We think
you ought to co. with its heart-stirring
sweetness, eliminating in the lingering
emphasis of an audible Kiss you from
every man in the battalion, Is a rare
though saddening privilege.
British soldiers are never ordered to
sing, as the Germans are They sing
when they like and how they like, except
of course on occasions when singing is
out of the question, as it might betray
their whereabouts to the enemy. It is
one of the hardships OF the trenches that
ubiquitous mouth-organ, which Tommy
as most portable instruments, must be
hushed there.
Il have seldom heard music that touch
ed me so deeply as Way Down Upon the
Swanee River sung by a group Of Tom
mics in a whisper at an outpost in Bel
gium, accompanied by a youngster on \
mouth organ. also in whisper.

mentalist told me. She can play the

Tuesday. January I2, 1915
Today is rather fortunate. according
70 the reading of astrology. Venus and
Uranus are in places powerful for good.
while the Sun. Mercury and Neptune
are mildly adverse
Romance should be particularly lucky
when the stars are as favorable s they
are today. for both Venus and Uranus
are supposed to awaken sentiment and
to attract men and women TO each
other.
Increase in marriages and in the
birth rate will mark the year. the seers
declare. There will be many weddings
among persons no longer young.
The rule is not an encouraging one
today for seeking the favor OF those
who occupy places of authority. Po-
litical prcferment Is not under a good
sway.
Discussions among members Of leCis-
lAtures are foreshadowed. Labor sup
porters will make insistent demands
and strike difficulties will menace the
business world, even though a revival
Of trade gives promise of great pros
perity.
February and March will bring extra
ordinary honOrs to the President of the
United States. a London astrologer de-
clares. in the course of this new year
the Chief Executive of the United
States will be forced to decide ques-
tions that will put him on record as a
man OF rare courage. it is prognosti-
Gated.
Universities should benefit greatly
during the coming months. Students
should prepare for large activities. the
seers declare. The Western colleges
may be called on for military duty.
Heavy expenditures for munitions Of
war are indicated in the astrological
readings for the coming summer.
The=ters are subject to good leadings
for the next few weeks. Sweeping re-
forms and innovations are prophesied
for the future. They who are wise will
prepare for a year OF unsettled condi-
tions.
Music has an encouraging outlook, IL
the stars are read Alright. Americans
are TO welcome many artists who will
help to educate the public, the astrol-
ogers announce. A man will win fame
By his work in providing popular pro-
grams.
Persons whose birthdate II is have a
happy omen for the year. Both busi-
ness and domestic affairs should pros

Made IN America.

The Made in America" League, OF
which Mrs. Marshall has just consented
to be honorary, patron, is eminently a
patriotic organization, and this movement
to encourage women in demanding arti-
cles made in this country is for that very
reason bound TO succeed. for women are
natulally patriotic. Perhaps even more
encouragement Of women and the ex-
pectation of winning their applause that
make men go to the front to fight for
their country, or to win laurels in other
forms Of national service.
This particular manifestation Of patri-
otism on the part Of women ought to
succeed, for 1t is directed along a con-
structive, sane basis. And patriotism.
sincere though It may be. is not always
either constructive or sane. The woman
who insists on showing her patriotism by
carrying an American flag unfurled
through her European travels is showing
a sort of patriotism that is painfully mis-
guided. The patriotic women Of Europe
who sold their jewels, priceless family
heirlooms, at the call Of their country for
the price to buy more ammunition were
probably building for no constructive re-
suits. Even the plucky women of Europe
who have gone to the front to nurse the
wounded soldiers have been charged SIM
ply with patching up more food for the
enemies guns.
But when American women show their
patriotism by furthering the made in
America" movement they are encourag-
ing American manufacture in a way that
is Of undisputable value to the country at
large and that is based on the soundest Of
economic principles.

LETTER,
By
A4RE La ROCQLIE

Have you a waistline? II you have,
cherish it. 1t may be one of your strong
est assets in a few months.
Waistlines are almost obsolete. like
bison and~ aigrettes. they must be con-
served if they are to be preserved for fu-
ture generations. Fashion has taken the
first steps in a conservation process. She
has sanctioned styles that look well on
figure that is not quite straight from
bust to hips.
As yet there is no indication that tight
lacing and excessively small waists are
to return TO fashion. 1t is TO be hoped
that the fashion for big waists will show

Positive Relief
For Constipation

The progress Of modern medi-
cal science is, perhaps, no more
forcefully evident than In the
simplifying Of many of the old
time remedies of past genera
tions. For instance, the harsh
cathartics and violent purga-
tives used by our forefathers to
relieve constipation are now
known to be not Only unneces-
sary but really harmful. Constl-
patton can be more effectively
relieved without the discomfort
and pain these old-time remedies
occasion.
A combination OF simple laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin, sold in
drug stores under the name OF
DIR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. Is
most effective. yet mild and
pleasant. II is absolutely free
from opiates and narcotics and
equally as desirable a remedy
for the tiniest babe as for rug

the part of women to accept the very
small waist. But nevertheless, the spring
models in cOrsets, are shaped in a little
at the waist and flare little above and
below.
1t is obviously impossible, in a season
OF such diversity in silhouette, to have a
corset suited to each frOck. The best one
can do is to have corset suited to them
all. Instead of a Directoire corset, an
1880 corset, an 1860 corset. one has a 1915
corset to wear with the Directoire frock.
the 1890 frock and the 1850 frock. with
their waists of various sizes and shapes.
Where Is the waIstIine.
The very interesting thing about this
revived tendency to emphasize the waist
line, is that in many frOcks the waistline
is far above or below normal. Probably
the whole tendency may be traced in the
lack of necessity for combining the hips.
With bouffant skirts, straight hips are
not essential, and whether the waistfine
be at the chest or at the hips. the corset
is naturally fitted in to the curving
figure
Turnover Collars Again.
High collars are already established.
And one OF the details that they have
brought into prominence is the little turn
over of muslin. Every one remembers
when muslin turnover collars of various
sorts came into being. They were worn
in collars OF velvet and satin and other
heavy fabrics. They seemed exceedingly
dainty at the time. But now. after years
of hlmy low frocks and blouses, with lace
and tulle and muslin used at the neck in
abundance, the narrow little turnover of
organdy or crepe de chine or chiffon
seems rather stiff and even suggests dis
comfort.
1t is quite possible that if the full skirts
and snug bodices, OF the kind that Marie
Antoinette and Martha Washington and
the ladies of the civil war period and the
Empress Eugene wore, all rolled into one
and amalGamated-if that kind of frock,
with full skirt and tight bodice, comes
in we shall have a recurrence of fichus.
Already some of the young girls bound
southwark have charming lingerie frocks
made with many-ruffied skirts and fichus
around the shoulders.
Braid still Used.
The French dressmakers are using the
war as an inspiration in a half hearted
sort of way. Some OF them truly feel
that military fashions are not graceful
and not adaptable to wOmen's clothes
Others doubtless hesitate to make capital
of anything So grim and horrible as this
war
One warlike detail they have developed,
and that Is the use of braid. Many Of
the newest coat suits are heavily trimmed
with braid. Some of the white serge suits
which are on their way South show a
binding of colored braid around the
Jackets. One. with a fiaring coat, is
bound with red. and the buttonholes. too.
for big white bone buttons. are bound
with the red braid.
