letter which she has received:

sincere in a world where insincerity
and convention play so large a partY
Look at society. What is IL, I'd like
10 know. but systematized hypoc-
risy? We pretend, and then we
pretend we do not pretend. We say
that we are sorry, when ten to one
we are glad; we say we are glad,
when we are sorry. We hold our
tongues in silence, when we are
longing 10 speak. and we chatter
like magpies when we haven't a
thing in the world 10 say. We are
all the time hiding our feelings.
Why, that is a part OF being well
bred, TO hide what you really feel,
although I guess people in other
walks OF life are doing that all the
time, too"

.BLOUSES FOR THE

certain set. Crepe de chine In the new
shades OF sand and putty Is expected
to have a great vogue In the spring.
As to the cut OF the waist, the yoke
style seems to be favored by design

that requires the hand Of master to
make Il a genuine success. Collars are
TO be close fitting in the back. Many
Of them have turned over flaps and

collars must be irreproachable. Long
sleeves. rather close fitting in style,
are to be seen. There Il n slighter
fullness than we have been having In
the arm size, where the sleeve is to be
set in. Crocheted white buttons deco
rate the sleeves: also they appear to
fasten the blouses, which are more
often closed with hooks and eyes or
snap fasteners.
The sand and putty colored waists
are especially useful for travellers. As
thousands will doubtless visit the
Pana ma Pacific exposition this year,
their popularity seems assured.
II must be mentioned that the ultra
smart blouses are OF extreme simple.

SPRING
Written for The Citizen

The dreary winter has passed away,
The happy warblers sing,
The Southern breezes softly blow
And tells us now It's Spring.
Oh welcome lovely Spring time,
So cheerful. bright and fair.
The landscape now is beaming
With beauty rich and rare.
The charms Of spring are wonderful,
All nature now seems glad,
After the chilly winter days
So lonely dark and sad.
The bleak and dreary winter,
II has no charms or mirth,
II often seems 10 me, almost
God has forsaken earth.
But now in His great mercy.
He's changed those dreary days
To bright and glorious happy ones
oh marvellous are His ways.
The swallows now are here again,
The snow birds all are flown,
Oh. we should thank our Father
For the kindntss He has shown.
Tho happy frogs are croaking
Their chorus 10 the streams,
The sky now has a summer hue.
The sun sheds brighter beams.
The husy bees are humming
among the buds and flowers,
That grow so sweet and beautiful
In springs refreshing showers.
The buttercups and daisies,
Are peeping through the grass,
And seem 20 nod a welcome
To the breezes as they pass.
The pathway now is soft and green
Beneath our weary feet;
And in the woodlands and the fields,
1--WE hear the lambs glad bleat.
And often when ! hear them,
I join them in their mirth,
am so glad 10 know again
Gods not forsaken earth.

THE PULLMAN poRTER's TIP

The Pullman company in 1913 owned or operated 693o cars, pro-
vded accommodations for 26343,4S5 passengers and earned a gross rev.
nj of S42S6oS91, states the New York World. 1t paid dividends OF
$059o5 500 and added $1541 COL to its surplus. Since 1877 tn company has
paid practically uniform dividends Of 8 per cent annually, besides IN extra
dividend OF $40 4 share and stock dividends of Sc, SO and 20 per cent
This brief statement of Pullman prosperity is useful as bearing on
the testimony Is to porters' wages and tips before the Industrial Rela-
tons commission. Wages, it appears. are $3.50 a month for the first
fifteen years of the porters service, increasing thereafter to $50, and are
ar porter on a Illinois road earns $2 a month after twenty-one years
service and an average of SIS a month in tips. A porter o a limited
express train between New York and Chicago is paid $3.50 a month by
the company and 81 a month by the passengers.
1t was we'll enough understood that the porers tips eked III a
meager salary; it is rel a surprise to learn the real ratio of the salary
to the proceeds of the polite blacknal or which the company virtually
obliges its employees to live.
Surely, as N exhibit of social justice" N the part of n OF the
richest OF industrial corporations to underpad employees, the Pullman
wage scale may be said to beat any other of which the public knows
1t is an old scandal of corporation greed which is made all the more m
savory by this new airing of it.

SUFFRAGE WILL HELP

in the equal suffrage states there has been about as much need OF
laws tic regulate child labor IS of laws to regulate the flight of Zeppehns,
said Owen Lovejoy secretary of the National Child Labor committee,
addressing a suffrage meeting in Boston the other day
Mr. Lovjoy pointed out that all the states having the worst child
labor laws are states where women cannot vote, and gave a number of
striking examples. He attributes the lack OF elaborate child labor laws
in some of the enfranchised statest o the newness of the problem there
Is these states have had little or NJ child labor. From the marked i'm
petus given to humane legislation. wherever women have been granted
the ballot, Mr. Lovejoy drew the deduction that it vas bound to be a great
help to the opponents of child labor whenever the problem in a suffrage
state became pressing. He praised particularly the improved laws that
the women OF California have secured since they got the right to VOTE
and the further improvements for which they are o working.
