Thirty years ago, & newspaper | correspondent points out, the follow-| ing prophetic verses appeared in Ohamber's Journal. Pretty good pro- phecy: O the Twentieth Century Girl! { What a wonderful thing she will | be! She'll evolve from a mystical whirl A woman unfettered and free. No corset to crampen her waist. No ¢rimps to encumber her brain; Unafraid, bifurcate, unlaced, Like a goddess of old she will reign! She'll wear bloomers, a matter of | couse; She will vote, not a question of doubt; She will ride ike a man on a horse; At the club late at night she'll stay out. i she chances to love, she'll pro- pose; To blush will be quite out of date; She'll discuss politics with her beaux, And outalk her masculine mate! She'll Be up in the science of things: She will smoke cigarettes; she will swear 1f the servant a dunning note brings, Or the steak isn't served up with care. No longer she'll powder her nose Or cultivate even a curl, Nor bother with fashion or clothes, This Twentieth Century Girl. Her voice will be heard in the land; She'll dabble. in matters of state; In council her word will command, _And her whisper the laws regulate. She will stand 'neath I¥r banner un- furled, Inscribed with her principles new; But the question is what in the world The New Century Baby will do.

Sproule, president of Westbrook Institute was in the chair at the meeting of the Westbrook, Pittsburgh and Junior Frontenac Women's Institute held on Monday afternoon in the Eastern Dairy School. Mrs. Sproule said she was the first president of the Westbrook branch when it was formed sixteen | years ago so the duty of presiding as senior president fell to her, Nirs. James Hanna, president of the Pitts- burgh branch, and Miss Ada Wiltsie, president of the Frontenac Juniors, with Mrs. G. W. McNaughton, Sy- denham, the secretary-treasurer of the Frontenac District, and Mrs. A. W. Sirett were also present. Mrs. MacNaughton made several announcements, among them that al prize of $50 and other prizes would | be given by the Department of Agri- culture through Mr. G. A. Putnam, | superintendent of Institutes, for al play written by an Institute member | bringing in the contrast between | farm 1if¥ of today and of twenty-five years ago. Further particulars may be had from Mrs. McNaughton. Mrs. Sproule introduced Miss] Ethel Robson, who spoke at length | on various phases of the work of the | | Institutes. She felt that more might | | be done for the rural schools, es-| pecially the secondary schools, and | urged all women to use their fran- chise towards appointing suitable trustees. It doesn't do to say "What was good enough for me is good | enough for my children." Probably | it is not. Miss Robson, who is presi- dent of the Institute at Denfield, Middlesex County, is something of a poetess and read a number of her verses bearing upon Institute work. One referred to the modern girl who, in spite of her silken hose, her bobb- ed head and her powder puff, has the makings of a real woman in her and was exceedingly bright and pretty. The main subject of her ad-| _ dress was how a woman mdy be ef- ficient and useful after forty. She stressed the point that to be wanted a woman must make herself s0. Women must earn their child- ren's love and respect. Women at forty were more experienced and gurely had a contribution to bring to the community that was well worth while. A well strong body, an upright carriage and supple limbs were possible ever Wheh older than forty and Miss Robson counsellad exercises that will keep women in health. She felt there was much to be said for the girls of today and that in spite of their vaunted inde- pendence, they were influenced by older women who took them in the right way. A vote of thanks was moved to the speaker by Mrs. James Hanna, sec- onded by Mrs. G. W. Macnaughton. Miss Ada Wiitsie sang "When There's Love at Home," Miss Beryl Arthurs recited "The Inventor's Wife," and Miss Flora Sproule sang "Danny Boy," all numbers ing most enjoyable. Tea was served at tables centred with narcissi and wild flowers, Mrs, James Hanna pouring tea and Miss Florence, Sproule cutt- ing the ices, assisted by the members of the Junior Farmers' Woman's In- stitute. much interested in the election of a bishop for the diocese of Ontario as the men. They have no direct voice in the matter, the election being made by the clergy and lay delegates who are all men. The 'general feel- ing seems to be that the man chosen to fill the offics of chief pastor of the diocese should COMMUNITY PLATE WEEK! in Kingston ~~ Third Day «Family Plate"~ the silverware that is a proud family possession for generations, is usually CommuniTy Prats.
