Clarence Funk, a lawyer, on "Worn w> Under the Law." He traced the! development of law from the early days' down to the present time. While the legal status of woman has improved I considerably in the centuries, he said, there a r e some inequalities of law not generally understood ami even Pennsvl- i vania, which claims to be so just to its! women, allows a man to mortgage th? homo which his wife may have helped t . purchase by her economy.

A number of other laws were also instan ed showing that while great progress has been made along the line of legal equity for women, much sti:l remains to be done. The regent, Mrs. .>oues. gave her usual talk on current events, touching! upon some of the"side lights of the great war, and emphasizing the fact! that while the Sultan has called'the| Moslems to a Holy War, Aga" Khan,! who claims to be the religions head of! th 3 Mohammedan church, has issued a| proclamation urging Moslems to be j faithful fo Britain and saying that a| Holy War is an impossibility «ince Ger many herself is not a Mohammedan Xation. j Other points referred to were the development of I gava; the new areai thrown open for settlement by Argen-I tina and Chile; mierophotography;' map making of the bottom of the ocean j and various other jtoints of interest! including new inventions. Letters were' read from the State president of 11-1 linois asking the Chapter to support Mrs. Robert Hall Wiles, of Chicago,' as President Xational of the 1' S n 1812. ; The National paper of the society I was distributed to the members and as! rhe issue contained an account of the! gateway at Silver Spring, it had more' than ordinary interest for the members.'

Airy Institu tion For Deaf and Dumb For State's Ward i ; * A strange birthday party was given j yesterday afternoon at the Pennsylva nia Institution for the Dea.f and Dumb, jat Mt. Airy-. The party had all tihe requisites of a real birthday party, the ■ cuke with lighted candles, pretty flow ers an.d softly shaded candelabra. At the head of the table was seated the hostess, Kaithnne Mae Frick, the deaf, dumb and blind ward of the State, sweetly and Shyly presiding over the feast." Kach guest had receiv ed a typewritten invitation, neatly written by the hostess who received them as they entered, talking in their own peculiar 'language about the party and the pretty gifts. The fifteenth birthday anniversary of I Kalthrvne Frick was in reality her ! fifth birtihday anniversary. In tic last five years the child has learned to read and write in Braille, to speak the sign language and has even developed fhe power of speech to a limited degree, lie fore that time she was a flighity, nerv ous child, who could scarcely walk, whose mind was undeveloped, who ut ter&d strange sounds that were hardly I human and who seemed to have no connecting link with life. Yesterday s'he presided over her party a solf jwssessed young woman who may have before her a future as remarkable and useful as tiiat of Helen Kellar. Kathrvne's latest achievement is the masitery of the sewing biac'hiine and site can run up a seafoi as quicklv and I as well as the average seeing person. ; "BUSY BEES" TO HOLD SUPPEK , Ladies of Camp Hill M.

Marion Sourbeer, Jr. English Beauty Tells Complexion Secrets Through a fortunate meeting wttli an English lady, noted for her dazzling complexion, I recently learned the full meaning of that old adage, "Beauty is hut skin deep." She taught me how to remove my muddy old skin, revealing the young and beautiful skin under neath. The process Is so simple, harm less and inexpensive, I'm sure you'll be glad to know about It. Just get an ounce of ordinary mercolized wax at any drug store and apply nightly like cold cream, for a week or so. Every morning in washing off the wax, tiny particles of worn-out cuticle come off. too. The action is so gentle and grad ual, there's no discomfort. It's a won derful treatment, as it not only peels off the faded or discolored skin, but all of its defects, as chaps, roughness, freckles, pimples, blotches. I am indebted to the same lady for a remarkable wrinkle - removing formula. One ounce powdered saxolite is dissolv ed in a half pint witch hazel. Used as a face bath, this is so effective that Just one application causes the liner lines to disappear, and soon even the deepest ones go.—"Klise" in American Home.
