The London Times, in its excerpts from its issue of one hundred years agg. has the following: Bleanor Job died on Wednesday evening last, in Church Court, in thé parish of Saint Giles, at the very ad- vanced age of 105 years. In the first contest between this country and America, she accompanied her hus- band, who was a soldier of artillery, to the latter country, where she at- tended with the army in every cam- paign that took place, as principal nurse in what was called at that time the flying hospital. Her intrepidity and humanity were equally proverb- fal with the army; for she has been often Known to rush forward at the can 's mouth, on tho field of bat- tle. to assist in the dressing of the wounded soldiers, with whom she was held in such an affectionate re gard, that she was familiarly known among them by tke name of "Good Mother Job."

MRS. PANKHURST * Kingston has not yet had the pleas sure of hearing Mrs. Emmiline Pank- hurst, who now makes her home in Toronto, but on Wednesday even- ing, the Woman's Institute of Syden- ham, always an enterprising organi- zation, arranged for a meeting for her in Wesley Hall. Rev. Wesley Hollingsworth, was in the chair, and introduced the quiet, gentle little Englishwomen, for whom the name of "militant" seems indeed a mis- nomer. Mrs. Pankhurst comes with the authority of the government, as an exponent of the laws of the Board of Health, and her subject was that all important one of "Social Hygi- ene." 'Every cobild born into the world," eaild the speaker, 'has the right to the moral, mental and, spiritual strength God meant him to have." The Council of Social Hygiene stands for better health for all the people and its work ie to give everyone a chance, to educate the parents and through them the children, so that we have no more innocent victims who fill idiot and blind asylums, but a strong virile manhood and woman- hood able to cope with the responsi- bilities of our great democracy, which lays the burden on no class but on every citizen of the community. "The war did many unexpected things," said Mrs. Pankhurst. "It gave the women of England the vote, which otherwise they would not have had for fifty years, if ever, and the medical examination of the re- cruits showed a state of disease re- sulting from a wrong standard of Hv* ing that apphlled the world." Laws had previously been made against the'spread of communicable diseases, such as scarlet fever, etc, ' but against the most deadly venereal diseases there was no law, Now we know that absolutely innocent persons may contract these diseases in their most hideous form, and the sins of the fathers are indeed visited upon the children. "We teach our children how to make a living, but not how to live," said Mrs. Pankhurst. "We do not teach them the greatest responsibil ity ot all, parenthood." Miss Estelle Hewson, Mrs. Pank- hurst's secretary, spoke briefly, hop- ing that a branch of the Counlil of Social Hygiene would Be formed at Sydenham. Rev. Thomas Leach niov- ed a vote of thanks to the speakers. seconded by one of the many men in the interested audience.

From time to time, Reader Friends write me to ask what is considered an up-to-date ornament arrangement for the top of their dining room buf- fet. "Are candlesticks used now?" say some of these letters, or 'Shall I have a vase containing flowers?" Of course there are no set rules for what 18 good taste to put on a buffet. But the leading interior de- corators of today have suggested formal arrangements for dining room ornaments, and these arrangements are being widely adopted by house- keepers who are trying to make their homes artistic. I am going to de- scribe somé of the ornaments most popularly used: Vases containing flowers are not often seen -on the buffet-top. Per- haps this is because they make such attractive ornaments for the centre of the dining table between meals. In most homes we find either a low bowl of short-stemmed cut flowers (or a lily bulb), or else a vase hoMing longer-stemmed flowers, standing on a centre-piece on the polished table between meals. But candlesticks are a different rt The Editor hears matter. They are generally found on the buffet---one standing at either i end. Often these candlesticks are of | silver, oftem of glass; and invariably | they are adorned with silk shades in'| some delicate color. Between them, | in the middle of the buffet, is found | a cut-glass (or silver) fruit basket or bowl. Pais however, you have a small serv- ing table as well as a buffet in your dining room, the pair of candlesticks will look better on the serving table. In this case the fruit bowl may stand on one end of the buffet and a '"'car- ale set' 'on the other end.

Some of them are made of cut. glass, others of plain colored glass, and still others of glass decorated with silver-deposit. They consisf* of the large carafe with a stopper in the top, six glasses (stood around the carafe), and a glass tray on which the carafe and glasses stand. In the more expensive sets, the carafe is fitted to act as a thermos bottle if occasion demands. Such a set may be used for water, grape juice, lemon- ade or any fruit-juioe beverage. Other appropriats ornaments for the buffet (although simply two or three pieces are considered sufficient now-a-days) are: pierced silver candy basket or bowl, pottery nut-bowl, and silver bell for table use.
