DANIELS, Local Mgr. 3 was that when paper was scarce or expensive* old cards were too useful to be destroyed. They were, on the contrary, used for various purposes. Thus they are often found in the bindings of old books, where they were preserved. The old cards were also sometimes cut up for paper dolls. They were also used as cards of in vitation and as visiting cards. Thack eray refers to this in "Henry Esmond." The earliest examples of wood cuts wfire intended for playing cards. They antedate the famous St. Christopher wood cut that is sometimes credited with being the earliest. In the olden days playing cards, in stead of knitting, were used by spec tators in playhouses as an amusement while waiting for the performance to begin. Such widely differing materials as silver, leather, paper, wood, parch ment, cardboard, deerskin and even buffalo hide have all been used in making playing cards. The Japanese Woman. The Japanese woman exists pri marily for and in the family. We still adhere to the old way of thinking that her natural habitat is the home, and that her appearance at the polls is as unnatural as on the battlefield. Let it be far from me to give an impres sion, already too prevalent' abroad and at home, that wo look upon women only as cogs in the machinery of the kitchen or as mere puppets and orna ments in the parlor, writes Doctor Nitrobe in the Japanese Nation. The personality of the fair sex is not as clearly recognized among us as it ought to be but I am confident that it will come with more general en lightenment of public conscience. As it is at present, the aim of female education is to make "a good wife and a wise mother," a stereotyped shib boleth on the lips of all educators and of the nation, circumscribing the end and aim of woman's life. According to this doctrine, it is not as person, but as wife and mother, that woman is to be educated. Worth Thinking About. But if a man turned over a new leaf every time his wife wanted him to he would have but little time left in which to earn the price of her bonnets.
