The legislature of 1911 will soon be making history, or at least will soon be making laws, under which we must live. The red tape of organization has closed and today the introduction of bills was on the program. The members are going 'at their work as though they meant business. The clerks and doorkeepers have been selected and another week will find everything running along smoothly. One member of the house is regretting through the papers that bills were hot introduced the first day as it would have shown a more industrious intent. This is not true. There is plenty of time for bills. It is not so much how many as how good the bills are. There are a half-dozen important measures which should be well considered before they are made into laws. If only a dozen new laws —the ones the people want —are built fairly and honestly, the record will be better than five hundred that mean noth- ' ing. It is not likely that the final' fight on any of the measures will come up before three weeks, as about that much time is necessary in the regular routine. HOUSEHOLD SALE. The undersigned will offer at private sale at her home on the corner of Rug and Winchester streets, a number of household articles previous to their moving to Sharon, Pa., where they will maketheir home.

CONDITION SERIOUS Had Intended to Leave With Her Mother For Moline to Make Home. Pansy Ball, one of the popular j "hello girls,” is lying at the home of her grandfather, Jack Ross, in the north part of the city suffering from an attack ot gait stones. She has been bothered with this illness for three or four months past, but had been about her work as usual until Monday, when she took suddenly worse and a physician was summoned. This morning she was resting easier and was somewhat improved. The family was making preparations for leaving for Moline, 111., having shipped their goods last week, and had already received word from Mr. Ball of their arrival there and for them to come. They were , to leave in a few' days, but owing to : this misfortune will have to postpone j the trip for a while at least. A tele- • gram was sent to Mr. Ball, who has | been working at Moline for over a year, of the illness of his daughter and a return message was received that he w'ould come at once. Wheth- • er an operation will be necessary is not at present known and will be decided upon Mr. Balls arrival in the ■ city. Her many friends wish for her j a speedy recovery.

SOCIETY DOINGS Evangelical Ladies Will Hold Business Meeting Thursday. AT FRED LINN HOME Mite Society Will Give Musical Program—Columbian Dance Last Night. The Ideal Home. The domestic Utopia, according to Mrs. Ellen H. Richards of the Boston Institute of Technology, president of the American Home Economics association, is to be obtained in the following manner: By considering the home as a business partnership. By considering the children as assets. By considering domestic accounts as liabilities. By establishing a complete system of bookkeeping. By ranking the wife as vice president and general manager. “But,” says Mrs. Richards, “that sort of Utopia can’t come until women learn something of the value of a dollar. When a woman gets >SO to buy a new dress, she doesn’t think of the concrete value of the SSO. She thinks of the dress. She translates money into terms of silk and crepe de chine. Now when women are taught the value of money and how to invest it most wisely, and when women aretreated as wageearners, doing their share toward the family support in managing the home, family jars will cease to be, or will nearly cease.” CLUB CALENDAR FOR WEEK.
