MIps Addams' Lecture.
Miss Jane Addams has completed
her course of lectures delivered
throughout the country in favor of
woman suffrage. She based her argu
ment on the plea that the well being
of the working woman and her chil
dren is in the hands of the munici
pality. Questions affecting the light,
air, Are protection and proper sewer
Age ot their homes are all in the
hands of the city authorities. Pure
food, clean milk and matters pertain
ing to health regulations come more
forcibly to the housekeeper's atten
tion than to that of the .man ot the
family. Pointing out that legislation
for the protection of children has been
pushed forward by women almost to
the exclusion of men, she argues that
they could do more for the protection
of their homes and for the welfare
of the Nation if they had the ballot.

Effective Work For the Indians.
As a result ot the propaganda work
that is now being carried on by the
East Indians in behalf of women,
womankind all over Hindostan is be
coming awakuned, writes Salut Nlhal
Sing, in the Southern Workman. The
members of the "weaker" sex are be
ginning to insist upon being allowed
to come into their own. In many
parts ot Hindostan women are no
longer confined .in their houses, and
early marriage has entirely been done
away with in educated circles. The
people have commenced to realize
that if a boy is educated, Just one man
Is educated, but, on the contrary, it a
girl Is enlightened, It means the uplift
ot the whole family. India has begun
to feel that the East Indian women
are the country's best asset. They
mould and fashion the destiny ot the
nation and fix its character.
The present generation has pro
duced wtomen of whom India is proud.
Into the learned professions HindoBtaa
has seat her daughters. As doctors
of religion. Jaw, literature, medicine,
phlllsophy, music, and there are East
Indian women who can hold their own
not only with the women but also
with the men of other countries ot
the world. True, they are few nu
merically; but they are like the yeast
which though proportionately very
small, leavens the whole mass. The
masses of East Indian women are
still backward and much remains to
be done; but a beginning, has been
made. Once proper provision is made
for the education of the Indian wom
an her evolution will proceed apace.
The East Indian woman, no matter
how illiterate she may be, is usually
able to recite from memory scores
ot pages ot religious and epic work,
not merely like a parrot, but with
understanding. The woman ot Hln
dostan is quick in intelligence and
perception, and the metaphysical and
religious training she has had for
generations make her an apt and will
ing student.
Madam Paquin.
Mme. Paquin, the widow of the
famous woman's tailor, who died in
December last, made her maiden
speech at the annual meeting of the
Paquin Company, Limited, recently
held in London. She assured the
company that, with the help ot the
present experienced staff who are
working loyally around her full ot
ardor, devotion and good will she
felt convlnoed that the brilliant future
of the company was assured for many
years. She added that It must afford
every one connected with the enter
prise the greatest satisfaction to find
that, "besides placing a substantial
sum In reserve, the directors have
been able to recommend a dividend
of twenty per cent, for the year."
Mme. Paquin, needless to say, was
greeted with much applause. She
formed an interesting figure, dressed
in her widow's robes, and the force
of her charming personality created
a profound impression. When her
husband died, three months ago, she
determined to carry on alone the
great business created by him, and in
which Bhe had been his able lieuten
ant. She henceforth will devote her
services to the organization, dividing
her time between Paris and London,
and producing the same models si
multaneously in each metropolis. The
London business is thriving. In spite
of the dull times of which other dress
makers are complaining, the Paquin
London workshops are doing over
time. M. Paquin was an employer of the
modern type, and showed much solic
itude for the welfare of his staff. He
established seaside homes, where all
connected with his firm In Paris could
every year enjoy a two weeks' rest
free. New York Times.

New Work City. Every woman
who anticipates a visit to the sea

It Is altogether graceful and attrac

simple. In the Illustration black mo

striped taffeta. For the trimming al
most any contrasting material or
banding can be used that may be
liked.
The suit Is made with the bloom

ot the regulation sort that are fitted
by means of darts at the hips, while
they are drawn up below the knees
by elastic Inserted in the hems. The
gown portion Is Made In seml-prln-cesee
style, the skirt and the blouse
being joined by means of a belt at
the back and sides, while they cut in
one at the front.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is ten yards
twenty-seven, five and three-fourth

Dlrectolre Style.
As the season advances, It -needs
no great prophetic vision to foretell
the assured acceptance of taffeta
coats with soft muslin and lace skirts.
There was quite a promising attempt
made on these lines last season, which
those of us who saw and noted real
ized was then only in Its Infancy ot
popularity. It Is highly probable,
however, that in this particular con
nection the long-tailed Dlrectolre coat
will supplant the present short semi

WIPE WON.

generous enough to give others the
benefit ot their experience.

however, let his good wife find ont
for herself what a blessing Postum la
to those who are distressed In many
ways, by drinking coffee. The wife
writes:
"No slave In chains, it seemed to
me, was more helpless than I, a coffee
captive. Yet there were Innumerable)
warnings waking from a troubled
sleep with a feeling of suffocation, at
times dizzy and out of breath, attacks
of palpitation of the heart that fright
ened me.
"Common sense, reason, and my
better judgment told me that coffee
drinking was the trouble. At last my
nervous system was so disarranged
that my physician ordered 'no more
coffee.'
' "He knew he was right and he
knew I knew It, too. I capitulated.
Prior to this our family had tried
Postum but disliked It, because, as
we learned later, It was not made
right.
"Determined this time to give
Postum a fair trial, I prepared it ac
cording to directions on the pkg.
that is, boiled It 15 minutes after
boiling commenced, obtaining a dark
brown liquid with a rich, snappy
flavour similar to coffee. When
cream and sugar were added It wasr
not only good but delicious.
"Noting Its beneficial effects In me
the rest of the family adopted It all
except my husband, who would not
admit that coffee hurt him. Several
weeks elapsed during which I drank
Postum two or three times a day.
when, to my surprise, my husband
said: 'I have decided to drink
Postum. Your Improvement Is so
apparent you have such fine color
that I propose to give credit where
credit Is due.' And now we are
coffee-slaves no longer."
