So pleased are the managers of the league that it is_considering taking over a regular theater and using the artistic skill in the organization for its decoration and stage accessories and making it a permanent affair financed by the di rectors and vielding doubtless a fine income for their philanthropies.

No one who has visited orchards or vineyards could fail to lament the enormous waste and wish that the sick could be supplied gratis or at prices far below market value. Oranges often actually pile up in Florida groves which would be life-saving in some districts, but as there are few very poor in this State, the gathering would have to be conducted through medical agents or municipal charity Vineyards where grapes dry on the stem would also receive attentlon, and there are parts of Oregon where the lluscious black-heart cherry is so plen juful tiat the fruit actually makes {#reat heaps beneath the trees.

The former Naney Langhorne, according to rumor, has wearied of the strenuous life of a member of Parliament and is about to assume the domestic role as a permanent one. She is a fearless huntress and relishes the companion- ship of Bobbie Shaw, who always is ready for an adventure.

Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, wid- ow of the brilliant Senator from II- linols, has since his untimely death shunned her former political activities and has been living very quietly with her children at the stock farm in Byron. A few weeks ago, however, she leased a big apartment on the Lake Shore and her friends hope this s an augur of her early return to the politic but that her talents for organization and leadership are of a phenomenal character, and while she has never lost her interest in Staie affairs nor falled to take when vequired: she drawz. ¥ro; and has | larena.

Mrs. Drummond called a | conference, and her, organization, which is represented ‘in every part of Britain and by every sort of labor trade and craft, sent responsible del- egates who signed the powerful resolutions which have since been placed before their lords and masters. A poignant picture is drawn of the miseries caused by strikes, often the result of mistaken ‘leaders, and it is pointed out that the major part of these privations and humiliations are | borne by the workingmen's families, | especialiy their helpless children. So | the women proclaim that when their | hushands permit themselves to be led away by false prophets and abandon the making of a living for the fam- ily, however Jong or short the time, the domestic machinery will stop also and the wives and children will make common cause and band together in a community way and work together. The British press sees a long step Mrs, Drummond and her followers, and belleves that if these intentions are carried out the strike evil will receive u blow more deadly than laws and political threats.
