The 'two remaining days before Asli
Wednesday are not as promising as ono
mlaht expect, considering that It will be
forty long days and nights before the
fashionable set will bo privileged to be
gay again. However, there are a few
things down for Monday and Tuesday, but
after that, the post or the telephone is
the only hope, for, of course, everybody
Is not going to keep Lent.
Two of last year's disbanded card clubs
were reorganized Inst week, preliminary to
' the Lenten season, and from now on,
bridge and the theater promise to be
standbys. Of course the luncheon In per
mlssnble; It can't very well be otherwise,
for some sort of noonday meal Is necessary
and It Is no sin to ask one's friends to
tinc'i board occasionally. And, of course,
a few blossoms are expected on the ta
ble, especially In spring, and If one puts
on one's better table linen and an after
noon gown why. It Is no more than Is due
to one's guests. And that Is the way, and
the how of the Lenten luncheon.

the pleasure which all seemed to gain
from It by trying- to do good to others.

The Use of Malt
Extract in Food
C'uokrd Wlieut Treated With It and
Then llaked C'rUu and Urown
Is .Nutritious and Delicious.
Remarkable results are secured by treat
ing whole wheat with malt extract, as Is
Illustrated by that widely knowp food
product, Malta-Vtia, sometimes called "The
Perfect Food."
In the preparation of Malta-Vita we have
these two factors (a) the whole wheat.
steamed and cooked in absolute cleanli
ness and containing every food el men
necessary to the sustenance of the human
body; (b) pure limit extract, containing all
the nutrition of best selected Jnarley in
readily digestible form, so nutritious and
strengthening that doctors everywhere rec
ommend It.
The malt extract, mixed with the cooked
wheat, converts the starch of the wheu
Into maltose, or malt sugar, an active di
festive agent. The result is a perfect food,
rich In all the nutrition that builds up bone
and blood, brain and muscle, healthy tis
sue and nerve force.
And Malta-Vita Is good to eat. There
nothing like it, nothing that can take It
place. After, being mixed with the malt,
the wheat Is rolled Into wafer-like flakes
very grain a little flake and then baked
la great, clean ovens under most Intenao
beat. From the ovens Malta-Vita comes
crisp and brown, "done to a turn," the
most delicious, the most healthful food In
the world. All grocers. 10 cents

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker, president of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs, ls-
ues the following message to club women
In this month's Bulletin:
Many letters are received after this sort
in substance: "i have lust been elected
president of my club. I desire to do my
test and to make an Ideal head. Will you
not give me some advice that will help me
to realize my ambitions?"
it is not to be supposed that the president
f the General Federation knows bow to
be a wise leader. It Is only to be hoped for
her, as for all who are In responsible posi
tions. Yet there are some lessons learnefl
by observation which may he a bit of help.
Dooley, In describing a noted western sena-
or, said this: "Hennessy. he. naming the
senator, he's the b'y for me. He's always
fixed In his oplnyuns, but . he ain't at all
uionorn about em."
This Is a snlendld reclne for making ft
good president. Another one Is illustrated
ny a story which used to be told by an old
Sc.a'tch minister. He was a Baptist by be
lief, and for forty years was the leloved
and honored hcjtd of a church In a small
town In New England. It was at a period
when doctrinal spirit raji high, when Intol
erance and bigotry prevailed, yet so gentle
was his reign, so cheery and hopejul his
personality, that every denomination In the
ity loved htm. He preached for all. mar
ried, bnptlzed and burled for every one
alike. If the need came. At last a quarrel
arose In the state association of his own
church. At a convention called to consider
ho matter passion ran riot, angry words
were uttered, friends became enemies, and
a terrible schism seemed Imminent. Finally
It was suggested that they should ask the
old Scotchman how he had managed for
rorty years to carry his flock with no mur
mur of dissension or trouble, and so he
was called.
'It's ay sae simple. Brlthers. said the
old man. as he stood modestly before the
assembly, gazing Into their flushed faces
snd angry eyes. "It's-ay sae simple. When
my people doo weel, I say, eel dune,
but when they do 111. I say naethlng at all
abont It." The wisest club president Is
sympathetic but not partisan. Is resource
ful, hut not dictatorial; has courage, pa
tience, good humor, and, above all, never
allows the duties of her position to keep
ner awake o munis.
Several letters have been received asking
concerning the committee on resolutions
which was created at the Mist session of
he present board of directors. A word
of explanation may not be out of place.
At the biennial convention In St. Louis be
tween twenty-five and thirty resolutions
were presented to the convention throueh
no committee appointed for their consid
eration. Some of these resolutions were of
the greatest import, some would alter the
fate of the nation, almost. If carried out
with literal Interpretation, some were triv
ial, some impossible, some very Imperfect
in grammar and in phraseology. it is
he desire or the board of directors and
officers to avoid these pitfalls at the bien
nial in t. paw. For this reason It is
hoped that resolutions from clubs, Indi
viduals and federations will be sent to the
chairman of the resolutions committee,
Mrs. Charles F. 8toutenborough. 1800 Sixth
avenue, West, Seattle, Wash., previous to
the convention, that there may be careful
and painstaking consideration of each be
fore publicity. Women's conventions are
yet on trial, and it behooves us to show
systematic improvement.
The address or the chairman of the badge
committee is Mrs. Alice M. Johnson. 128
Dorrance street. Providence, R. I. Write
for the federation pin. May every delegate
at the coming biennial wear the little' token
or fellowship. A pleasant xugKestlon Tor
badges is made, that each state have its
respective flower upon a white ribbon. Col
orado has had the columbine for some time,
let Kansas have the sun Mower. Ohio the
buckeye, etc. To know each other bv flow
ers is perhaps sentimental, but eminently
feminine and also very agreeable.

Mary Moody, chairman of the general
committee on household economics, makes
this announcement:
The committee on household economics
has arranged a very Interesting program
for Its session at the eighth biennial In St.
Paul. Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith, of Cam
bridge City, Ind., will be the principal
speaker at the mornlntc session. Her sub
ject will be "The Gospel of Home-making."
There will be a short report from the chair
man, and the rest or the hour will be
given to the pure food committee, who
win rave most competent speakers. H. C.
Adams of Wisconsin will present the sub
ject from the legislative standpoint. Pro
cessor Shepard of South Dakota, from the
scientific standpoint, and Senator Hep
burn will speak upon the difflcultiea of se
curing protective legislation. Mrs. Miller
or Jacksonville has charge or the fitting
up and furnishing the practical home. In
which there will be an exhibition of work
from the arts and crafts school, also pot
teries ror sale, a percentage or tne proceeds
to be applied toward helping defray the
expense of the exhibit.
rnere win ne a demonstration or ny
glenlc foods by Miss Anna Barrows of
Boston; and the committee will be at home
each afternoon in the model flat to confer
with the workers. For the four-o'clock
household economics conference we hope
to have Nellie Kedzie Jones of Michigan,
Mrs. Alfred Klmberly of Wisconsin, Mrs.
Norton Paul Pierce or Chicago, also the
Dresident of the school of household eco
nomics of Chicago, to speak upon different
lines of home economics. At tne verv
beginning of the persent administration,
Mrs. liecfer specially asked that we do
soVnethlng practical; and this has been our
aim all the way through. Helpfulness has
been our keynote, and the knowledge pro
cured by each member of the committee
has been freely given to help along this
practical work.
In summing up results, there seems noth
ing new or startling. Just a gradual in
creasing s.sntiment for a better under
standing of the dally problem of living,
which we hope may continue until every
woman in this and other lands shall come
Into her klnxdom of home-making.
The chairman of household economics
committees rn the state federations are re
quested to send their reports at once to the
general reoeraiion cnatrman, inai sue may
compile her report for the biennial.
