Tbe Woman's Temperance Union seems to have gathered new life since it late triumph at Baton Bong.

For tbosa interested in "fancy work" ths "Christian Woman's Exchange" i at pres ent a profitable plaoe to visit. Mid-summer ha produced an unusually charming aasort-ment of fresh and dainty trifles in tbe way of scarfs, doylies, toilet flummery and tabla decorations. One would think after scanning tbe wares of a bazar case that invention was exhausted and that lace, uiiulin, decorative painting and embroideries had reaohad the extreme limit of novelty. Thia is a mistake. however, aad ths needlework department of the Exchange bas on exhibition some very chio and useful article, all of them well worth examination and reproduction.

In spite of the dull season busines is flourishing fairly well in both the lunch room aud faucr work aide. Horn week considerable money passea through the Exchange, benefiting many a ptior woman who depend sultuy on tais patronaga ior ner upport. It is a true saying that one is nsver able to eompnt the effect of tbeir action whether good or bad.
