Birthday Bio-Briefs
Famous Women
FELICIA TIENIANS.

The writer wishes that every young woman who reads this page would read a poem by Felicia Hemans, called Evening Prayer at a Gtrr= School" For, it is a tremendous thing to be a womani She needs all the divine sustenance she can get. This poem will be a guide into future life. Felicia Hemans, the English po- etess was born in 1794, in Liverpool In 1912 she married Captain Hemans an Irish gentleman. She bore him five sons; but was obliged 10 leave him for his incorporate habits. She spent the rest of her quiet life in North Wales. Her work has not the eagles soar of wings, but as long as the English language lasts a few of her appealing verses will endure. She was the author of "Casibianca," and although this verse has been lam pooned and cartooned, it lives forever as an incentive to pure fllial obedi- ence.

That charm may come in a length of ribbon is convincingly illustra- ed by this youthful bit of smartness. Substract its very unique ribbon trimming, and you have left but the most conventional of kimono-sIeeved frocks. Which instantly recommends itself for development in chalIis or linen, or cotton crepe or ratine.
 Cut the kimono part rather more generous than usual, and the neck line oval rather than round. Make the hem narrow and start out there to use your ribbon. Continue with that piece down center front, CO., quettishly 1ooped above the waist line. Now go on to the girdling, then the vertical strips down each side; final Iy, the horizontal banding again on the skirt, and the sleeve ends. These last are just a bit different from any other ribbon-trimmed sleeve ends for having their ribbons end in perky loops.
 As to the kind of ribbon that you will use, you find silk grosgrain equal to an artistic result on most any stuff, silk, or cotton, or wool, that you choose to make the wee frock of.

URGES WOMEN TO GET CITY JOBS
 AND GUT COSTS
Calgary Acting Mayor Is Most Enthusiastic Work
 CT for Cause of Women.

Calgary, Alta, Sept. 24-'Beat down the high cost of living by put ting housewives in charge of munis cipal affairs
 That's what Calgary's progressive acting mayor, Mrs. Anne Gale, de- cIares to be the solution of the prob- lem. Besides being the first woman ln the history of Canada 10 hold the position of acting mayor, Mrs. Gale finds time in between to be a clyy alderman and to conduct crusadez against high prices as we'll
 "The female of the species is more deadly than the male, especially when iJ comes to chasing down profiteers," says Mrs. Gale. Give housewives the place they deserve in municipal affairs and they will drive the food pirates to cover. I am such an en- thuaiast in respect to the rights of women that I willirg sly oppose a full council of men when the occasion arises. belong to no party ana feel that all women should be free to eu- ter party politics. If we remain dis interested we can accomplish what we set out to do-to better civic con 5iriOus and bring the cost Of living down where it belongs"
 As the champion of the housewives of western Canada Mrs. Gale has been active in the cause of womens rights since first coming to Calgary with her husband and two sons in 1912 when the prairies of southern Alberta along the route of the Can alian Pacific Railway began attract ing settlers in large numbers. Finding that local merchants were charging h'gh prices for fruits and vegetables, she o-ganized a consumers league among the housewives and establish cd municipal market bringing the housekeeuer and the farmer together and cutting out the prodts of the ulldlofuan. During the war she organized a vacant lot garden club" getting legIslation passed which com peued the owners of vacant lots to plant them with vegetables and flow CTS.
 Her next blow for woman's rights came when she succeeded in having laws passed in Alberta creating free hospitals Next came her work in organizing the first Womcn's Rate payers Association in the dominion. In the midst of all these activities she found time to be treasurer of the Calgary Forum, an organizat ton pledged to protect women in industry. to prevent chL1 labor and to obtain equal pay for equal work, irrespective of sex.
 As acting mayor and city alderman, Mrs. Gale gets no pay, as the posi- tious are honorary in Calgary. Her duties as acting mayor consist of talk ing the place of Mayor Marshall when he is i'll or away from the city. Late Iy Mrs. Gale has been chairman of '.faig price inquiry committee" of the Calgary Council, and has been con ductiuE an examination into the prices of clothing. shoes and meat determining what the local merchants shall be allowed to charge. At present she Is formulating a plan to have the city buy foodstuffs and clothing and sell them to the people at cost.
