Good wln-Kennard.
A wedding to which attaches more than
ordinary Interest owing to the social prom
inence of the bride and her family, was
that of Miss Georgia Kennard, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank B. Kennard, and Mr.
John Carpenter Goodwin of New Castle,
Ind., which was aolemnlied at 8 o'clock
Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and
Mra. Frank B. Kennard at Nineteenth and
Dodge atreeta. Owing to recent bereave
:' ment In the family of Mrs. Kennard the
guest list waa reduced to Include Only about
sixty relatives and near friends. The spa-
' clous rooms, thrown together with broad
doorways, were elaborately decorated with
cut flowers, palma and ferns. In the parlor,
where the ceremony took place, a canopy
of asparagus fern had been constructed In
the bow window, the sides of which were
banked with palma. The two large ohande
Hera at either end of the room were wound
with the feathery green and their lights
ubdued under pink shades. Aa a charming

WORK OF THE CLUB WOMEN
Anti-Woman Suffragists Elect Officers
and Make Report.
WOMEN ASKED TO INVESTIGATE
Industrial Conditions of Women and
Children to Iterelve Farther At
tention from Clab Women at
SnaTRrstlon of Federation.
A list of Questions has been sent out to
club presidents In every part of the country
by the chairman of the Industrial and child
labor committer of the General Federation
of Woman's clubs to be answered and re
turned not iHter than October 1. Data thus
secured will afford the baals of a report
to be made at the Boston biennial next
year, which will be valuable In further con
certed effort for reform measures concern
ing the welfare of the child and woman
wage earner. The questions follow!
Have you a child labor law In your state
a eomnulBorv education law?
At what age may a child begin work In
fnrtorlea. shot, mines and sweatshops?'
At what ate" may children work In street
trartes, as newsboys, or In messenger and
delivery service?
Is there room in tne scnooia or your uis
trlet for all children of achool age?
What are the age limits for compulsory
school attendance; are there any exceptions
to the law; are children required to read
Kngllsh before they go to work?
Are there any exceptions to school or la-,
Ivor law based on the claim that It Is to
the Interest of the children or required by
the poverty of the parents? What do the
fhllantnropic agencies ao lowaras meeting
he problem of child labor where poverty
Is made an excuse?
At what age do children work at night
and what work do they do? Is there any
time limit to the working time for children
under 16?
How many children of achool age are
there In your town; how many are at
school: where are the others?
Is there any industry in your locality
that cannot exist without employing chil
dren under 14 or without children under
16 at night?
Have you a system or public registration
of births, and how long has It been In
force? How are employment certificates is
sued and what must a child do to obtain
one?
Have you state factory Inspection, ana
Is there a woman factory Inspector? One
half of the workingwomen of the country
are under 25 years of age, and should be
protected by law from Injurious overwork
or Improper conditions of labor. Such law
exist in but few states, and there Is llttlo
Intelligent Interest In the matter, and be
fore legislation can be secured, public opin
ion must be awakened, members of
woman's clube are therefore urgod to take
up the condlttona of working women aa
well as children.
Are there any agenclea at work In your
community Investigating the condition of
working girls: the length of the day's
work, the prevalence of night work, the
kind of work done, and the wages paid?
The laws which should be aimed for In or
der to protect working women are: A law
prohibiting more than ten hours' work In
one day, or alxty hours In one week; a law
prohibiting work after 9 p. m. and before
6 a. m.; a law requiring seats for women
and proper toilet facilities; a law provid
ing sufflclont factory inspectors with ade
quate salaries; a law ! quiring that the
hours of labor be posted In each workroom.
This Ib a great aid to enforcement, besides
being a protection to tho employes.
Practical Information Wanted.
In securing answers to these questions
the real meaning of child and woman labor
will be brought to the attention of the
club women In a manner of much more
practical value than hearsay evidence about
conditions In other localities. Mrs. Burna,
chairman of the committee, la also sending
all club presidents a pamphlet containing
the laws now existing In the various states
for working women. In order that club
women may have a basis of procedure for
action In securing new lawa and the en
forcement of those already existing.
In her report before the council meeting
at Jamestown recently. Mra Burna aald
In part:
Club women often ask: "What nan I do
to help abolish child labor! What can I
do to help the wage-earning women?" In
the first place, those seeking to help must
communities lor me protection or women
'and children, and then there should be co-
v,.
Board of Health, the philanthropic or char.
name agencies.

Walked 10O Miles for a Claim.
Probably as plucky a young woman aa
ever sought to take up a homestead claim
has arrived In Selin, 8. D., after a Journey
which many a man would have hesitated
to undertake.
j Attracted by the offer of free homes In
Butte county, many people are rushing to
j that section, some of them arriving on
I horseback, others In wagons and many of
them on foot. A party of twenty, including
Anna Nordstrom, a young Norwegian girl,
started from Cashmere, the end of the rail
road line, to walk to Seltn, nearly lot) miles.
The trail took them across livers and over
buttta. Their route lay through the reser
vation, where the only food they could ob
tain was such as they could carry with
them, aud their only shelter was the blue
sky.
Several of the party were compelled to
give up before the Journey was completed,
but Miss Nordstrom, though only a frail
looking girl, atuck plucklly to her task,
and w'.'h eight olhera of the party auo-
ceded In reaching there thla week.
Sj much admiration did the glrl a pluck
arouse that a fine quarter section has been
aelected for her on which a aback baa been
built anj everything made ready for her
entrance upon the life of a hom"stead r.
The I'nlted Stales commissioner t as offered
i to tlrow oft Us fee, for bar tllui. aud on
of the newspapers has ofToied to print free
of charge her final proofs, when the time
conies to make them.
Mlsa Nordstrom already has received a
dozen flattering offera of innrrlaKe, but
she has refused them all. declaring that
she Intends to have a farm for herself
before she thinks of matrimony.

Allow Hair to Torn Gray.
In pursuit of beauty It Is best to let tho
hair alone. Even hair that Is turning will
be prettier if the complexion Is kept free
from lines and the eyes bright. It softens
the face, as touched up hair, however akill-
I fully done, never can do. Carefully done.
gray hair Is the most dlnslngulshed thing
In the world, nnd If one dresses up to It.
especially as to hats, It makes a striking
effect. Gruy hnlr only la aging when the
eyes are dull and wrlngles cover the skin.
Magnifying hand mirrors, while mowt dis
heartening affulrs, are no end useful. A
careful scrutiny of the face close beaido the
unshaded window occasionally will show
you Imperfections of the skin undreamed
of. and you will get to work with skin food
and maasage immediately. This scan tling
scrutiny should not be indulged in fre
quently, for it discovers blemishes that are
not in the hast vtnlble to the casual ob
server, alid will make one overconsotoua
of them, and It Is true we all need a little
vanity to help ua face the world gayly.

llnndred Triumphantly oa
to Lake Mannvra for
Ootlng.
Jupiter Pluvius Thursday received the
bump he so richly deserved for his unlov
able habit of butting In and spoiling piunlia
with downpours of rain.
Thursday was the day of the City MisMon
plrnlc at Lake Manawn, As usual, J. Plu
vius attempted to bimiII the fun with threat
ening clouds and rain. He expected to dis
appoint 400 children, but be got a bump and
a good one that he ought to remember a
long time. Those children and their
teachers went happily on the picnic Just as
though the weather was most propitious.
Probably no outing given In the year is
talked about and anticipated i s much by aa
many little ones as this particular picnic.
It is the event of the year for more than
4W children. It must be confessed that J.
Pluvlua did succeed In putting fear lyo the
hearts or some ot me ooya anu gins wnen
they eaw the clouds. But when they be
sieged the City Mission and asked Miss
Magee about It their faces were quickly
quieted.
"Why, of courae we're going, dearies,
she said. "Tbls Is the finest kind of a
day. It won't be hot and even If It should
rain we can get on the pavilion and have
a fine time."
Thla was .the good gospel of contentment
which ruled the picnic There wasn't even
a murmur against the rain, for, you know,
It waa Just what they wanted so It wouldn't
be hot-
Other Yoanvatera Go.
Bealde the City Mission children there
were children from Mitchell chapel, the
Volunteers, the Jewish classes and the mis
sion at Twelfth and Nicholas. There waa
no color line, either. The cara were to
leave Tenth and Douglaa atreeta at 9:15,
but more than an hour before that time
the children had begun to gather. They
weren't going to run any remote chance
of losing out on this deal. By 9 o'clock
the crowd waa Immense. Moat of them
wero Juvenllee and they alone made up the
"40V." Then there were the teachers, about
whom the children hovered, the little girls
clinging to them with loving arms and the
boys expending their bubbling energies In
dodging about through the crowd, Joking
and atrlving to amuse the glrla and the
teachera.
Two little glrla In bright yellow dresses.
with green rlbbona on the end of their
braids, had evidently taken particular
pains to dress In a manner to do Justice to
the occasion. There waa evident all
through the crowd a preaence of beat
frocka and an eapeclal care In toilet for
this great annual event.
A wagon deposited three great packing
eases In the street and then another wagon
backed up and half a doxen boys hurried
to help the driver unload pastboard boxes
filled with lunch Into the big cases. Bpecu
latlve little boys with watering mouths
lingered about two Immense green Ice
cream freexera which stood modestly be
aide the great boxes.
An elegant automobile drove up care
fully to the curbstone and four pretty
smiling women stepped out and greeted
aome of the children and teachera. These
women were heavily loaded with candy,
It waa the best kind of candy, too, and
each aeemed to have about eight one-pound
boxes. Of course, the ultimate disposition
of these eweetB waa evident.
Happy Shout at Start.
Then out of the rumbling murmur of all
those happy voices arose a great cheer.
Three cars came down Douglaa street one
after the other. They weren't any of theae
dinky little cara. No, air. they were great
big onea and looked like they were brand
new and on the front It says, "Chartered
Car." Just like that, in big Uttera.
The three big cara stopped one behind
the other and atreama of little folka poured
In from each end. They filled the seats
they filled the aisles, they filled the plat
forms, they sat on each other's lap. If
there had been a doxen more youngsters
another car would have been needed.
Half a doxen men lifted the big boxes
of lunch and the big freeiera of Ice cream
upon the rear platforms. Everything was
made ready. "All aboard," shouted the
conductor, and the first car started up
while Its occupants cheered as If they
wanted to raise the roof right off the car.
A big dog, of humble pedigree, but loving
heart, ran along by the side of the car In
which his young master was and added his
enthusiastic barks to the yella of the boya
and the cheers of the little glrla.
It waa a picture of chaMty and content
ment and happtnesa to make even that
hardened old fellow, the god of rain,
ashamed of himself for his grouchlneas.
To his credit be It said that he1 withheld
quietly and left the children to the enjoy
ment of such a day as seldom cornea Into
their hard little Uvea.
