well-rendered duet, entitled, keep the

Mrs. Hartzog and Mrs. Sponseller.
Mrs. Black gave a short sketch on
what the Y. M. C. A. is doing for our
soldier boys, and emphasized the need
of this work in order to bring few

whether in camp or at the battle front.
An interesting and instructive round
table on the conservation of food was
ably and interestingly conducted by
Mrs. Addie Miller. Many questions
pertaining to this subject were brot
up and discussed with interest and
profit to all.

number of Xmas boxes to soldiers in

~, where these baskets will. be filled
and sent out to the needy and shut

The meeting was then adjourned to
meet with Mrs. Mary Winters, Jan
4, 1918.
The following excellent paper en-
titled, The Duty of Americas Wom-
en- to the Red Cross" was written and
read by Mrs. Ona M. Sponseller.
It seems almost incredible after sew
eral months of warfare in which the
" ). has taken an active part, that
there are still some people who are
not awakened to the crying need for
more Red Cross workers. There are
SO many things that we may do to
cheer, as well as give them bodily com
fort. But, first let US look after his
physical well being, for without bod
lily comfort there can be no heart for
great achievement.
! Sitting by our comfortable fresides,
surrounded by our families, we can
scarce comprehend the almost un-
bearable loneliness and longing for
those brave lads in the trenches, who
are fighting, that not only our fire
sides, but the fresides of the future
generations may be safe forever.

You owe him a great deal. That boy
may never come back, so while he is
fighting, do c,oiything you can to
keep the spirit of brotherly love in his
heart. It will keep him nearer to
God. He will know that some one loves
him, and "God is Love-" Your card
may be the means of saving his
morals, even as did the cup of coffee
and kind words given lad, just out of
the trenches, by Y. M. C. A. worker.
Certainly the Red Cross and the Red
Triangle go hand in hand.
Let us divide our Christmas. Sacri-
flee, if need be-our contentment vii
be the sweeter. Let us give in the
spirit that Lowell puts into that beau
tiful stanza of his "Vision of Sir
Lauafal:
1t is not what we give but what we
share,
For the gift without the giver is
bare.
He who gives himself with his
aims feeds three,
Himself, his hungering neighbor and
Me-" :.
What heart that is homesick, or dis
couraged, does not wholly respond to
tender message, that makes them love
their fellow men better? And when
we love our fellowmen, we love God.
Dean Almon P. Abbott of Trinity
Cathedral, asserts that he does not
feel worthy to unlatch the shoes of the
boys in khaki. He says, "There isn't
so very much that we can tell them
about religion, for when boy goes
over the top, he knows more about
God, than we ministers know in lifes
time"
| So, as we approach this Christmas,
let us also give freely of our prayers,
that the brave men who have seen
hell on the battle line, who have gone
into this struggle unafraid, that there
may be new world, may be led on
ward to victory.
It is true that dignity will rest upon
them as cloak, and that the petit
ness and selfshness will have been
burned out by wars refining fire. And
they going about among us will i'm
bue US with the spirit of common
brotherhood. That will be our gain
for the sacrifices we are making now.
How fitting then is this poem from
the pen of Theodosia Garrison:
A Prayer for the Mothers of Men
She saw the CLEAN of white starlight,
She felt the rush of wings,
Thru the little door, the humble door,
, Came simple folk and kings
And some knelt down with gifts and
praise,
And some with tears and prayers,
t And suddenly the little Christ
Seemed less of hers than theirs.

Lettres de Cachet.

~Lettres de cachet was the name given in France to warrants sealed with the kings seal ordering persons to be thrown into prison or eXiled. The first came into use about 1870 and shortly became one of the popular terrors of France. It is said that no less than 5000 lettres de cachet were issued during the reign of Louis KY. and S0,0O0 dur ing the reign of Louis KY. In many cases these terrible documents were secretly sold and used as a source of illicit revenue. They were frequently signed in blank, and the holder of one of these royal terrors could write ill the name of any person against whom he happened to have a grudge. The na- tiOnal assembly abolished this iniqui- tous privilege of issuing lettres dn cachet on Nov.1, 17S9.

Tact and Success.

Tact is a combination of good tenn per, ready wit, quickness O. percep- tion and ability to take in the exigency of the occasion instantly. It is never offensive, but is a balm allaying sus- pidon and soothing. It is appreciated. It is plausible without being dishon- est, apparently consults the welfare of the second party and does not mani fest any selfshness. It is never antag- onistic, never opposes, never strokes the hair the wrong way and never irri- tates. Tact, like a fine manner, eases the way, takes the jar out of the jolts, oils the bearings, opens doors barred to others, sits in the drawing room when others must wait in the recep- tion hall, gets into private offices when others are turned down. It admits you into exclusive circles, where wealth abounds, even though poor. It secures the position when merit is turned away. Tact is a great manager. It easily controls people, even when com bined with small ability, when genius cannot get along.

Fra ssrant Fern.

Some say 1t has the fragrancy of new m0wn hay. It reminds others of fires strawberrie; There are also those who detect it ill the lerfu-ne of the wild rose. Opinions differ as to what the fragrance resembles, but all opin- Ions are unanimous ill praising it. So they call it the fragrant fern.
 It grows in small, round clumps in clefts on the face of precipice, out of reach of collectors, who haven't the patience to hunt for it. For this req son it is not well known. Its out of the way haunts provide an effectual hiding place.
 The hardness of the fragrant fern surprises the amateur collector. It grows in full glare of the sun, in places where more common ferns would be scorched and withered. Yet the fronds remain green throughout the year, and even the year-old fronds, which turn brown at the end of the season, curl up around theStroots of the plant and cling to the rocks.-Phil- adelphia North American.

A Homemade Floor Polish.

An excellent polish for hardwood floors may be made at home by putting one pint of turpentine into q Jar and adding to it one-half pound of beeswax cut into as small pieces as possible. This should be put into a warm place where it will melt slowly and may be stirred frequently with a slender stick. When thoroughly dissolved rub a little on the floor with a flannel cloth and then polish with the usual floor pol isher or pad. This may be used also for polishing tables. Care must be taken not to use too much of the polish or the wood will become sticky and 1t will be difficult to get the desired re- suit of a smooth, even gloss.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

RattIinu Windows.

In some houses the windows have an unpleasant habit of rattling at all times of the day and night when there is the least wind. In such a case an ordinary clothespin is most effective. It must be split in half and one half inserted on each side between the framework and the window or between the sashes. A good plan is to paint the clothespeg the same color as the window frame and secure the pieces by a cord and screw to the frame so that they will be in readiness when needed.
