be certain that the most sweeping
attempt yet made in the world _
history to apply the methiod of or-
ganized labor for purely political
ends will begin Monday.
The leaders in the movement dis-
play the utmost confidence. The
strike fund now amounts to approx-
imately $3,000,000, and fresh con-
tributions from home and abroad are

GIRLHOOD.
Hold fast to girlhood. It will
leave ron soon enough, and the
days will come '.'.'hea you would
give all you own for iust one day
of its Chic-uee joyousness.
The young girl receives a ten-
der homage that's never given to
onyoneelse. Her youth and in-
nocence are worshipped and pro
tected. '
There is no one more charm-
ing than the modest, well-bred
little girl who is free from af-
fection, and content to be a little
girl.
