Every working woman and every friend of the woman who must toil
for her own living should road the article in yesterday's issue of
this paper setting forth the object and scope of the "A great labor con
tions called for Sunday, July 14. t
To band them together more firmly under union rules; to enable
them to present a solid front against the pitiless exactions of private
and corporate greed; to enable them to exert direct political influence
to secure the passage of laws in every state for the betterment of the
oftentimes unhealthful and even revolting sanitary conditions under
which the more than 6.000,000 working women of this country must
labor—such is the object of these great tri-city conventions which have
been called by devoted women leaders. Monster mass meetings will be
held simultaneously in Chicago. Boston and New York,
There is no woman who toils with bead or hand for her daily bread
who will not in some way be benefitted by the outcome of these 3
meetings. \
And it is high time that woman should raise a hand and speak a
word in her own behalf.
Woman is no longer an experiment in the industrial world. She
is a necessity, and she may become a living power if she and her sis
ters will work together intelligently for their own good.
Nearly 2,n00.000 American women and children are employed in the
manufacture of cloth and clothing, and it is a sad and well known fact
that in the large cities tens of thousands of them are compelled to
labor under conditions which stunt their growth, weaken their bodies,
ruin their health and even result in death.
Why? Because selfish employers are too greedy to furnish them
with sanitary places lv which to work and to curtail the unconscionably
long hours which are demanded of many of them, and because there
Is no law to compel them to do so. /
How can these conditions be remedied? Largely through the ef
forts of the women themselves, by flocking to the standard of union
labor and bringing the vast influence of great organization to bear upon
the lawmakers of their various states. This can be done, and in time
it will be done.

This will not cost much more than
preparing it .a a plain manner, and
will make the food appear much
more nourishing, in consequence of
which you w feel like eating more
of it. Also, it is remarkable how
much further a little food will go
if scattered about in a dozen dainty
dishes. Altogether, by using a lit
tle bit more judgment and garni

the table with a hearty appetite.

Short Story
AN OLu «TORY
As many another man has done,
Maurice Harkley sat in tho house of
Clod and worshipped at the shrine of
woman. Dimly, he was conscious
of the voice of the preacher dis
coursing: upon the fall of man and
lost Kden; but tha living idol of his
devotions sat in the front row of
the choir, and occasionally let her
eyes meet his with a pleasurable
look that brought Joy to his heart.
But never y«t had he been able to
summon up the courage to speak
aloud his devotions to pretty Adele
Putnam.
That afternoon found the two
speeding in his auto car out
along- the country roads. They
stopped where he knew of a spring
that bubbled out of the hillside.
Barely touching his proffered
hand, she sprang lightly from the
car nnd ran up over the old fashion
ed stile. He made her sit at the
spring-side while ho served her with
sparkling water in a rusty tincup;
and then, surrendering a mad de
sire to seize the hand that returned
the cup, and swear fealty to its
owner forever, he turned up his
trousers and waded in lifter the
coveted cowslips. When she saw
that he sank ankle-deep in the mud
and ooze, she pleadod with him to
return. How sweet her imploring
voice sounded In his ears! And how
It spurred him on to do the very
thing she urged him not to do, and
kept him tramping about in the mud
until he had secured a small armful
of the yellow beauties as an offering
to her!
He laughed happily, in purest joy.
as the solicitude expressed in her
eyes and her chiding voice, as lie
laid the flowers in her lap and re
fused the pathetic offer of hor filmy
handkerchief to use in cleansing his
shoes. He washed them at the
spring nnd sat down beside her.
As he watched her silently ar
ranging the flowers into a huge bo
uuet, he gathered courage for the
execution of a great resolve; for
something seemed to whisper that
now was the moment of moments
to speak.
Just what he said, or how he
stammered through it, he never
knew, nor cared. Enough that a
few minutes later all material
things, save himself and the girl
that was snuggling against his
shoulder, and looking inexpressible
love into his eyes, had faded away.
When the things of earth cams
back again, they discovered a new
and most beautiful world; the sun
shine was brighter, the tints of the
flowers and trees more delicate, the
scent of the woods sweeter, and the
meadow nnd farm scene that spread
out before them, more pleasant and
peaceful than any they had over be
fore looked upon.
Maurice's soul was filled with
complete Joy and satisfaction with
the world. Somehow it recalled cer
tain words of the preacher; but the
fall of man and the loss of para
dise could not but seem doubtful to
him at that moment.
"Isn't it beautiful here?" mur
mured Adele, her mind, no doubt. In
perfect accord with his.
"It's paradise enough for me," he
answered, ecstatically. "It's Eden,
surely."
But It was only a few days later
when he sat in his room and brood
ed in utter discontent. The even
ing before, during their happy plan
ning for the future, there had
arisen a little disagreement that

Everything- seemed to be wrong;
even his pipe tasted bad, and he
flung it from him in disgust.
"This Is hell, this old world is. If
ever there was one," he declared
aloud.
Finally, In despair, he flung on his
coat, took up his umhrella, and|
strode out into the weather. By 1
and by, he surprised himself paus
ing in front of A dele's house; and'
a moment later he was at the door.
It was Adele herself that answered
his ring.
"Maurice," she murmured softly,
without surprise, "I knew It must
be you. I knew you would come
and let me tell you how miserable
I have been all day, thinking of my
foolishness."
Hours later, he was walking home
through the rain. What a fine old
world It was, in spite of the rain,
that only made the air purer and
more bracing, and caused the walks
to glisten in the glare of tho lights!
He was treading the streets of
paradise.
