MEETING WWWWWWMOMW% - P The regular mecting of the Wom- ar’s Christian Temperance Union was called to order yesterday after- noon by the president, who read a gcripture lesson, followed with prayer. Mrs. G. B. Carter prepared a pa- per on the W, C. T. U, which was o ! voted excellent and worthy ot a place in the press report. Mrs. Bevis read a sketch of a young lady who, with her own efforts, rid a town of saloons and dives. Mrs. Willoughby read an editorial from the Golden Age in which Editor I'pshaw out Flor- is coming to “straighten” . jea us state superintendent of the | \nti-Saloon league as successor to superintendent John Collins.

There was some discussion in re- card to the liquor advertisements which are sent through the mails vhich are an insult to sell-respecting Christian men. The question was raised, *Is there no way to put a stop moit?" Will some please give some inforwmation. The fcllowing extract from a letter from | W state president, Miss Neal,should wuse every W, C.

C. T. U. may | be a happy and encouraging one to your union. And at this blessed Thanksgiving time shall we not let some of our gratitude for success in | temperance work, and some of our | prayers, and some of our plans be | for the continued growth of our or- unization for better work this com- ing year. It comes to me also, that iv would be very fitting for us to give a thank offering to help answer those prayers for our organization. i Doesn’t that appeal to you—the { privilege of lifting a little? So many | this past year have had no invitation | te give to our cause. In mcmory of 'our many blessings during 1912, let us give a thank offering to the Wom- {ar s Christian Temperance Union,” Upon investigation we find among "the women of Lakeland many sym- puihizers and well-wishers for the v 0T, U. work. We appreciate (.18, Gewi friends, but what we need it now are helpers.

If you were a bird and shut up in a cage, Now what would you better do— \Would you grieve your throat with a SOrry note And mourn the whole day through; Gr would you swing and chirp and sing, J Though the world were warped with wrong, Till you filled one place with the perfect grace And gladness of your song? iIf you were a man and shut in a world, Now what would you better do— On a gloomy day, when skies were gray, Would you be gloomy too? When crossed with care would you let despair Life's happy hope destroy, G with a smile on the while You found the path to joy? —Nixon Waterman. L) * * Woman's Club Will Meet In Their Club Room.

STLYES FOR SMALL GIRLS REAI.- LY THOSE OF THEIR MOTHERS | Dainty Dress ldeas for the Little Ones Make Them a Miniature of the Grownups—Good Coat Model for Maiden of Tender Years. | It is really amusing the way chil- dren's styles copy those of the grown- ' ups without losing any of the infantile charm they should have. Little one-piece frocks for maids from ten up take the popular peplum tail; some of the wee bodies of the same cross surplice fashion; skirts show the side plaiting worn by adults, suggested paniers and real ones, The lace guimpes and undersleeves of the “bebe™ world, the various uses of plaid fabrics seen on children’s coats and frocks, and some of the most severe of their hat trimmings— these are things which the grownups copy. Yet it is all one and the same thing. The small girl can be her mam- ma in miniature, and her mamma can appropriate any number of her small daughter's dainty dress ideas if she only stops short of trying to make herself too young. We are at a very artificial stage in dress, and all that can be done is to make use of the pret- tlest ideas wherever they can be feand. Concerning ' the adult borrowing from juvenile wear, the tiny floral gar- lands used upon ball frocks and to trim innuinerable hats of delicate eve- ning sort were once the privilege alone of the infant in arms. Dear babies, if only they could realize how much they have done to beautify their mammas and maiden aunts! The {llustration gives a very good coat model for a girl from ten to twelve, or for lassies still younger or older; for there is no age limit to the cut of the loose coat. Grandmammas and babes in arms wear about the same thing, so far as lines go. This coat is in the usual simple sacque model, which lends itself to home making without too much fret and fume, shoulder bands and a belt giving it something of a long Norfolk look. The large flat collar and cuffs are in a contrasting fabric, and the big hip pockets lend the small gar- ment a look of serious usefulness. The coat, which {8 made of chinchilla cloth and trimmed with velvet, s not lined, as the material is heavy enough without a doubling, and linings are seldlom used now with the heavier coatings, 80 many of which are dou- ble faced, thus providing their own trimmings. Coating in two colors, or plaid one side and plain the other, corduroy, velveteen, wool cheviot and blanket flannel or serge are all adapt- able materials to the style. If liked, too, thé effect could be much changed it a plaid fabric were used for the collar, cuffs and belt; and as to this scheme for a really fine garment there would be nothing handsomer than & black velveteen of good sort for the coat and trimmings of silk in one of the gay Scotch plaids. But, after all, mamma must suit the coat to the rest of the child’s wardrobe; so if frocks are few and simple get one of the double-faced wools and make up the coat without the Norfolk plaits, which would make too much of a bungle with these thick materials.
