"As the twig is bent the tree inclines,"
'and if we would have frugal, saving
men and women, we must inculcate
these principles in the children. Prac
tically, however, in most schools economy
is -imply a matter of precept and even
that is not in most cases made promi
nent by the proper insistance. The
difference such habits wisely directed
miy bring about in the lives of children
is certainly vast enough to make this
subject of indicating habits of thrift
and economy a feature of the public
cho its and there are few things which
club women could do which would
bring greater good to a greater number.
The clubs of Columbus, Ohio, have
just foi med a city federation. In advo
cating the federation idea, Mrs. Ganfield
said:
"Such a federation in Columbus would
have much the effect and purpose of the
large department club. Literature, his
tory, science, civics, household econom
ics, hygiene, art and current event are
the subjects studied by these clubs,
making a scopa and variety of theme
from which to draw rich and valuable
programs to be enjojed by the many
where now only a few have that privi
lege.' The object of the federation is de
clared to be "to promote acquaintance
among club wom?n of Columbus and t
strengthen by efficient organization
individual efforts for the pood of the
community in which they live "
All women's clubs in Columbus which
endorse the object of the federation are
eligible to membership. The adai-sion
fee is 10 cents per capita in advance,
and annual dues are 10 cents per capita.

As I promised, Her MajeEty adheres
to her resolve to go to Cimiez as usual.
I do cot think the British nation will
adopt the suggestion put out in actor
Kyrle Bellew'n rather wild letter to the
pre. s. He wants us to rise in our might
and protest. "The nation has spoken its
mind to Kings and Queens before this!"
he cried; then added somewhat lamely,
"Can we not legally insist?' No, I
don't think we can, even it we wished to
do so. It may be a historical fact that
the nation has before now signified its
wishes to the Sovereign upon matters of
public nature; but there seems no reason
why it should interfere with the ruler's
pleasures; moreover, I would remind Mr.
Bellew that our gracious Majesty is
woman, and might, on that account,
siit upon having her own way! To be
serious, it sterns a pity for irresponsible
scribblers to go out of their way to in
sult a nation of men who, if a trifle
touchy about their dignity, and ton
toltrantof virulent agitators in their
prees have done nothing and will do
nothing to merit an accusation of want
of chivalry to womanhood. I would
fain b.lieve that the position as woman
and as Queen of our great and good
Victoria places her above all national
disputes.
The Prince3s of Wales looked very
sweet and sad on her birthday, which
one could hardly believe was her fifty
fourth. She had hosts of presents, in
cluding some accompanied by the
quaintest letters from the dearly be
loved grandchildren. The York babies
are her greatest consolations. Everyone
hopes that her next birthday may be
le3 sorrowful. She does not, however,
obtrude her grief upon people, but evi
dently inake3 an effort to be cheerful.
It is only by her paleness and by the
neuralgia that always attacks her when
she is "run down," that her friends are
reminded bow much she sorrows for her
mother.
If though I do not yet credit the re
port. Piincess Victoria does eventually
man. her mother's nephew, George of
Gteece.it will be solely because the
daughter cares more for the mother's
wish 8 than for her own iLclinations.
Of course, apart from the young
Princess's acknowledged aversion to
matrimony, and the fact that the pair
are first cousins, the marriage would be
an eminently suitable one. They are of
the same age (thirty,) they have known
