Meeting his cor- respondent on the street ome day, he said: “That was an excellent letter I received from you thi morning, Uncle Hugh, and I'm going to print it In this week's paper. But, tell me, what rule do you follow for punctuation?” “Why,” replied Uncle Hugh, "the] same rule as | was taught when I was a boy. 1 put in a semicolon every | twelve words and two commas be- | j tween each pair of semicolons.”— | Youth’s Companion. The Original Wedding Cake. Our wedding cake is the remains of & custom whereby a Roman bride held in her left hand three wheat ears, and | | many centuries later an English bride | wore on her head a chaplet of wheat. The attendant girls threw corn, either | in grains or in smail bits of biscuit or cake, upon the heads of the newly married couple, and the guests picked | up the pleces and ate them. Such was | the begiuning of the wedding cake, which did net come into general use until the elghteenth ceantury and was then composed of solid biocks laid to- gether and iced all over with sugar ; so that when the outer crust was | broken over the bride’s head the cakes inside fell en the fioor and they were | then distribnted among the company. | Nearly 800,000 tons of paper are an- nually manufactured in the United | Kingdom Woman’s Relief Dr. Krugers Viburn-O-Gin Compound, the woman's remeds, 4 has been knew for years ft kas positively proven ita great value im the treatment of as “Woman's Rellef,” asince ars a suffercr frem any of the iMs peculiar te women, which can be reached py medicine.

Inspiring as were the sessions of tie Connecticut Iederation of Women's ciubs on the opening day of the con- vention, they in no way surpassed the | vWwo_fine meetings of Thursday, when an increased number of delegates and visitors were present at the morning and afternoon meetings. The address- es of the closing day and all the fea- tures of tha two excelient programnies were of such an attractive and varied nature as to hold unwavering attention and the effect produced was given ex- pression in the resolutions adopted in the closing minutes of th: convention, | it being therein stated the satfering | had been unusually helpful in sugge tlon and a stimulus for further earnest | etfort. The Danlelson convention has | | been written down as one of the most | successful in the history of the federa- tion, Thursday Morning’s Session. Mrs. W. H. Phipps of Waterbury was | in the presiding officer’s chair at the call to order of the morning session, which was devoted in greal part’ to business, including, the election of of- | ficers. Tt was marked by a special | faature not listed on the programme. discussion of the proposed Conneciicut | civil service law by Gen. W. A. Aiken | of Norwich, and the delivering of the | annual address by the president, Other | speakers at this mesting were Mrs. F. H. Dart of New London, who reported for the civil service committae of which she is chajrman, and Mrs. C. W. | Shelton of Norwalk, who in the ab- | sence of Dr. Sophia Penfield presented | the report for the health department, a | paper of interesting facts and statis- | ties. Gen. William A. Aiken’s Address. General Aiken's address was followed with very close attention. It embodled an outline of the scope and posgibili- of the provosed civil sarvice law nd a review by sections of the pro- of the bill that will be pre- sented for the consideration of the next legislature. In its present form s desirable measure provides in its section. that the governor shail it & commission’ of three mem- s, o serve for terms of two, four and six years, under, which arrange- ment there would alivays be two ex- perienced members of the commigsion after the first two vears of ifs ence. Not more than two members of this commission are to be of the same political party. The purposes and powers of the com- t provided mission, as at pre: fer, werg outlined in some detail by the speaker, who mentioned in reference the government civil service laws and those of individual states. such as Massachusetts, as reasons why Con- necticut should have such desirable statutes in operation. The provisions of the bill are such as to empower the proposed commission to classify state stitutions and to provide for public and_competitive tests on the pari of| applicants for positions. these tests to be either technical or physical. The fact that General Aiken has a record of twenty-five years' aseociation with the national civil service commission as a member of its executive committee lent additional interest to his recital of the advantages that must accrue to this state-through the passage of the pro- posed law. Endorsement of Woman’s College. That the federation endorse the pro- posal for the creation of a woman's college in Conmecticut was the sug- gestion contained in the report of the education committee, presented by Mrs. A. W. Gates of Willimantic in the absence of the chairman of that coj mittee, Miss Jane Burbamk. The port ontlined the plans for a college in Connecticut and contained mention of the fact that nineteen sites i been offered; also that i under- stood that New London stood ready to eppropriate $50.000 for the purpose of | founding such an institution. The con- | vention unanimously voted to endo: e the project. Mrs. W. H. Phipps’ Address.

May I ask the Connecticut Federatfon of | Women's clubs, to pzuse Tor a few mo- | ments and glance at the balance sheet | of your assets and liabilities, and then | with an unbiased judgment decide in | your own mind whether our organiza- tion, or, I may use the business term, | our 'firm is on a solid foundation for | success. Have we met our obligations since | the hour of adjournment in Cheshire in 1909, so that we can with sincerity and honesty open the campaign for an- other vear? If the question was simply a finan- | platform unles: | in the words of told ‘you that ihe balanee is on the right side; but our object is not finan- cial success, but, as our constitution states it, “to bring the women’s clubs of Connecticut Into communication for more thorough acquaintance and mu- tual helpfulness, and to secure united actfon i such matters as may prop- erly come before them.” The Connecti- cui Federation desires to Pe a center from which shall radiate fnformation and influence to every club, large or small, remote or near. If this has been accomplished we shall close the record for the vear that has gone with a note of rejoicing, and with new courage plan for larger results for the coming vear, results that shall mean not alone growth in numbers, but in power and influence. As earnest, ynselfish women may we have a widening of our horizon of opportunity, an enlargement of our views of responsibility, and a strength- ening of our obligation for service. Evidences of Valuable Work. 1t has been a pleasure to your presi- dent during the past year, by corres- pondence and by the personal visit to individual clubs., net enly to becems better acquainted with but to have revealed more perfectly local comdi- tions. I have often learned of valuabls work that you are doing, of which we never hear in the printed report. It have ben gratified that three new clubs, to whom you have just been in- troduced. have ~jointed our number. There are still many unfedereted clubs ihroughout the state, whose objects ars apparently so in unison with our own ihat we would gladly welcome them to. our ranks. Through the reports of the chairmen of our commifiees you have already heard and will continue to liear of the success of individual clubs along sev- eral lines of activity. Such success is not only a source of ratification, but stimulates others to sffort. Suggestions from Year Books.
