seventy-two Leagues throughout tne
United States and canada, and that
is bounded on the north by Montreal,
on the west by San Francisco. on the
east by Boston, and on the south by
San Antonio, the southernmost
League in America. The seed from
which the national organization has
grown was planted BY those early
pioneers. They saw that they had
unusual opportunities and rare priv
ileges.
They realized they were sadly ignor-
ant OF the works of the great city
in which they found themselves. They
were vaguely conscious of the horrors
of disease and poverty, and crime, and
they knew that they had the leisure
in which to rally their forces against
these foes.

lamp shades, ,boudoir pillows and tea
and luncheon cloths. This commit
tee has lust finished the costumes for
the Little Thcater production of
Romeo and Juliet, and has enough or
ders on hand to keep all, its members
busy until the end of the year. TO
everyone's great delight the shop not
only showed q very substantial proht
for November and December but &C
tually paid expenses in January,
which was beyond the, League mem
bers greatest hopes.
This is only one typical instance
but thus it is claimed that the
Junior Leagues of America are Justl-
flying their existence because they are
acting as an educational force IN the
lives of members. and because 1t
has increased their hitherto meagre
understanding of the social conditions
about them, and in its concerted ac-
ton has better enabled its. members
to offer a little helping-hand where
helm is really needed. Though un-
doubtedly slow in perceiving, slow in
understanding, and ineffective in their
work the members of the Junior
Leagues of America have at y last
opened their eyes. They realize that
unless they bring to the scene GER
tain understanding of what it is all
about. unless they know the Ian
.uage of the actors, and can at
least follow the story as they reveal
il. they can gain nothing for our
selves. nor can. they give them the
benefit of a sympathetic attention. '

To make an excellent grease eradi- cator, boil one ounce of soap, first shaving it in one quart of soft water 1; add one teaspoon of saltpeter and one and half ounces of ammonia. Keep this fluid in a well-corked bot tie.
 To remove rust from steel, rub the metal with plenty of linseed oil and let soak two or three days. Then wipe off and polish with powdered, unslaked lime until the rust disap- pears.
 Sheets of newspaper spread be- tween the wooden boards and the carpet are most effectual in keeping moths away. The destructive insect so dislike printers ink that they will not approach it.
 To prevent cabbages or greens of any kind boiling over add piece of butter the size of a walnut and they can be left quite safely.
 Kerosene oil will remove fresh paint stains.
 In making boiled starch first dis solve the starch in cold water, then pour boiling water over it, boiling it at the same time. Add a few shay ings of candle. Your clothes will shine and iron easily.
 After using kerosene oil to clean an enamel bath tub or woodwork, rub with a clean flannel wrung out in hot water.
