A fairy tale suggested by the pottle remarks of "the gentleman In the fourth division" of the Massachusetts house of representatives, who, in op posing equal suffrage, compared woman to a rose and man to a turnip. By Mrs.

Mira H. Pitman. A poor little bilious Turnip 'Lay groveling in the earth; lie was awfully soiled and dirty, And he had been since his birth. In a garden close beside him -There grew a rosebush tall, And from its leafy branches A blush rose chanced to fall. Lightly and softly she settled On a mudbank, thick and damp, And, looking into a puddle, Spied that unclean Turnip scamp.

Said the Rose: "How can you lie there, Enveloped in mud and mire? Can't I help you out of the puddle? Can't I help you to aspire "To surroundings a bit more cleanly, To a life in the pure, fresh air?" The Turnip trembled and shuddered: The Turnip had a scare. And he answered in tones quite anxious, "Lovely Rose, what brings you here? Go back to your rosebush, darling; Don't you know that's your proper sphere? "Don't tax your poor brain with, me, dear Go back and swing In the breeze On the green and leafy branches. And Just live on at your ease." You see, his fear was unselfish; He was accustomed himself to the 'dirt And the terrible thought that near killed him was That the Rose might soil her skirt. "Ah. me!" sighed the Rose, in sorrow; "Would that such might have been my fate! But God has seen fit to place me In the mud with you to mate.

"And that being so, dear Turnip, And hating the mud, as I must, Let me help you into the sunshine, Where soon your mud will be dust" Then the gentle zephyrs helped her As she fanned him with petals pink; Soon the mud fell away in powder. And the puddle began to shrink. The Turnip sat up in amazement, And began to feel so queer-Something was going to happen; Some change was drawing near. Then that poor little bilious Turnip Turned into a nice clean man; And the Rose turned into a woman, And a new state of things began. Boston Herald.

The Millinery Trade Review is holding up to ridicule the men who, a few years ago were identified with the hunter's club of New Tork and who are, now allied with the Aububon society in its humane war against the murder of wild birds for their plumage. It is evident that the Millinery Review does not believe In reform; we do, and we glory, not only in the conversion of these former sportsmen, but In their courage In admitting their mistake and bravely taking their places with the unpopular minority.

Such incidents as this lead us to believe more and more in reform, and to express our conviction that the day is not far off when not only all the slaughterers of innocent song-birds, but such organs as the Millinery Trade Review, who are the actual instigators of the crime, will see the error, of their ways, and will take stands similar to that of these much-ridiculed former sportsmen. The following collect for "club women was framed by Mrs. Philip N. Moore, president of the National Federation of Women's clubs. Be we club women or not, the prayer Is one that might be profitably repeated by us all each morning, before plunging into the various activities of the day.

1. "Keep us, God, from pettiness; let us be large In thought, in word, in deed. "Let us be done with fault-finding, and leave oft self seeking. "May 'we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face without self-pity and without prejudice. 2.

"May we be never hasty in Judgment and always generous. 3. "Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid. "Let us take time for all things; made us to grow calm, serene, gentle. 4.

"Grant that we may realize it ts the little things that create differences; that in the big things of life we are as one. 6. "And may we-strive to touch and to know the great common heart of us all, and Lord God, let uaj not forget to be kind." BELLE OF WAR DAYS. The death last month In South Bend, of Mrs. Ellen Wade Colfax, widow of the late Vice-President Schuyler Colfax, recalls many happy incidents of their public and private life.

Mrs. Colfax was Miss Ellen W. Wade, daughter of Theodore M. Wade, I'nited States senator from Ohio. Owing to her father's position.

Miss Wade spent more or less time in Washington during her early years. in the summer of 18C6, a party of social leaders of South Bend started on a trip to Colorado. Mr. Colfax and Miss Wade were of the party. The travelers sought the wilds of Colorado, taking the Union Pacific to Its end, and going on by stage.

In August, while Mr. Colfax and Mies Wade were on the top ef Mt. Lincoln, their troth was plighted. A miner, hearing of the engagement of such notable people under circumstances so unusual sent Mr. Colfax a bag of gold dust that he had washed out that day, asking that the wedding ring be made from It.

This was done and the little ring that was a silent witness of such perfect domestic happiness and such brilliant social achievement, has undoubtedly accompanied its dainty mistress to her last resting place beside her husband. The marriage took place at the home of the bride's parents In Andover, Ohio, November 18, 1868. In the same month, Mr. Colfax was elected to the vice-presidency. In writing to a friend of his marriage, Mr.

Colfax said: "Two electiins In one month. Ought I not to be happy? But I expect more real happiness from the election decided by one than from the election decided by millions." Immediately following their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Colfax left for the east. In the large cities of which a series of banquets and receptions was given in their honor.

Arrived in Washington, their social duties multiplied, and the receptions of the vice-president and his wife soon became a feature of Washington soek'ty. Mrs. Colfax received with charming grace, and an entire lack of artificiality. Whatever of restraint there was arose from a disposition to check an exuberance of kindly feeling. All shades of, politics were blended Into harmony and geniality dissipated stiffness and restraint.

At the expiration of his term of office, Mr. Colfax returned to South Bend where he died In 1885. Since that time, his widow has lived a quiet, retired life, bearing as best she could, her great loss. She maintained a lively Interest In her charities. She was ever solicitous of the needs of the unfortunate and did much to relieve the sufferings of those in want.

She is survived by one son, Schuyler Colfax, of Rochester, N. Y. Mrs. Neighbors: "They tell me your son Is in the college football eleven?" Mra Malaprop: "Yes, indeed!" Mrs. Neighbors: "Do you know" what position he plays?" Mrs.

Malaprop: "I ain't sure, but I think he's one of the drawbatrkers." Chicago News. LONDON'S AMERICAN QUARTER. It Is said that Mrs. Ava Astor Is to take a house on Grosvenor Square, London, for the coronation season. In doing so, she will become a neighbor of Anthony J.

Drexel, Mrs. James Henry Smith, Lady Cooper, the Duke of Manchester, Col Ralph Vivian (whose wife was Mrs. Marshall O. Roberts), Mrs. Cornelius Garrison, and Lord Leigh, whose wife was Miss Francis Ueckwlth of New York.

It will be seen that Grosvenor Square is apparently, the Mecca of the Anglo-American millionaire colony. KING GEORGE'S LINEN.

Morality because It pays to be moral Is simply the Immorality of civilized selfishness. There's a lot of difference between taking faith as a shield In battle and as a cloak in business.

PARASOLS AND FANS. "The girl who does not Include at leist two or three parasols and fans In her summer wardrobe is a very unusual girl thee days. If she Is the smart, up-to-date American young woman she should be, she knows that she can often depend on her parasols and fans for just the right finishing touch to a light summer costume. She, therefore, gives as much time and thought to their selection as she dots to the other accessories In her outfit," says Edith Weldenfeld in Woman's Home CompanK for May. "Las year parasols and fans matched and were In the same bright tones as the sash of the gown or the big ribbon bow on the picture hat with which they were carried.

"This season the simple parasols in bright tones do not mitch the gowns with which they are carried, but are in a contrasting shade or color. If, however, the sunshade is an elaborate one, flower and lace trimmed, or if It is made of flowered silk In delicate pastel tones, It usually carries out the style and coloring of the gown worn with it. "The fans most fashionable this summer are made of lace, black lace and white lace, gold lace and silver lace. They are not, as a genera! rule, made to match the parasols though they do show some similarity either in the trimming or in the coloring." A Sprinq Hint in Curtains. If your striped or flowered madrai curtains look faded in places and seem "utterly out of the question" for use again, try the following way of giving them a new lease on life.

Soak them for an hour in suds made from good white soap, wash by softly laving them, rinse through two waters and then dip them in a dye-bath of pale yellow. If cream color is desired, let water be just colored, and go on, for the deeper canary shade which is now so popular for window draperies. Always test your dye-bath with small cloth for exact shade. My pale gray madras curtains with many Rilk cross stripes had been in use for twelve years and yet after their dye-bath thev are admired by ev ery one. Mra.
