'When will commissions of en- quiry, and committees on this that and the other, cease wasting their own time and other people's money in discussing generalities, while all the while conerete tragedies are al- lowed to multiply? Take one little instance, just one little instance. We need not mention the place, we need not indicate the Provinee in which this particulsr tragedy. occurred-- most of the Provinces, unfortunate- ly, could tell similar tales.

WORK OF THE WOMEN AT KINGSTON FAIR Demonstration by Frontenac . institute on Wednesday, ursday and Friday. The demonstration put on in the Frontenac Women's Institute sec- tion at the Kingston Fair has proved of interest. Unfortunately the lab- or saving devices possible in a farm kitchen and used in the demonstra. tion, are not as many as the Junior Institute of Frontenac, which is re- sponsible for that part of the pro- gramme, had hoped to have. A kitchenette, and a refrigerator are here and though on Wednesday Miss Ursula Sproule, the president of the Juniors and Miss Mabel Berry show- ed various ways of making sand- wiches. On Thursday Mrs. A. W. Sirett kept a small crowd around the how with eggs and cheese. On Friday Miss Alethea Gates and Miss Marg- aret Grass made sflads. Only four Institutes have exhibit- ed in the space next to the one oc cupied by the Juniors,--Sydenham, Westbrook, Battersea and Harrow. smith. But the collections of work, canned fruits and végetables, cakes bread, etc., are good. Sydenham has sent all five classes, which means twelve of each, except the quilt, of which only one is required. The booth is decorated with golden rod, wheat and flowers. The very large and excellent ex- hibit of women's work has always a crowd before it, and no wonder, for it is by far the best ever seen in Kingston. The filet crochet, the French and eyelet embroidery, the beautiful cushions and the counter- panes of factory cotton embroidered are real work of art. The first prize in the latter class is embrotder- od and has a band of mauve linen, the third prize was nearly as well dome, buf was unfortunately, a bit soiled, which did away with its chance of getting a red ticket. The deintiest linen adornments for a dressing table are among this col- lection of work and some well made and useful mats both braided and hooked, are much admired. A bas- ket of sweeet peas, so real that one wanted to smell them, had a first ticket on it and some daffodils ran the sweet peas close. There are a goqd many pictures and some of\them quite good, the children's water colors and crayon sketches being admired. The china painting exhibit has many admirers also COLORFUL SWEATER. A tan and green jacquard sweater, knitted of brushed wool, is a color- ful accesdory for autumn and will be found quite comfortable for crisp days. : 4 a" Hat bands of colored leather em- broidered or cut or studded with steel nail heads are vory smart with, velvet or felt hats, . {ficient TOMORROW'S MENU Breakfast Left-Over Applesauce Cereal Whalewheat Griddlecakes Coffee Toast Dinner Olives Rump Roast of Beef Brown Gravy Potatoes Roasted in Pan Cauliflower Fruit Salad Coffee Ice Cream Supper Baked Stuffed Peppers Sliced Cucumbers Cinnamon Toast Preserves Cake Tea The Housekoeper's Philosophy. "I've got the blues to-day," said a little Bride Friend of mine, sinking into the new davenport in her pretty living room. "Why?" I inquired, selecting one of those deep over-stuffed tapestry chairs which undermine the will power ad regards ever rising again. "Oh, things have gone wrong since early morning," explained my friend, "First I made a mistake in ordering meat from my butcher, thea I acecl- dentally broke the handle off my sugar. bowl." I thereupon proceeded to quote from an elderly housekeeper whom I once had the good fortune to meet? "The most helpful thing in a house- keeper's career," declared this wo- man who had run a home for 60 years, "is a philosophy which in- cludes the possibility of failure in our enterprise. You see, we house- keepers should not always expect perfection of ourselves. People in other lines of work have to adjust themselves to some untoward ecir- cumstances, so why shouldn't we? "To illustrate my point," she con- tinued, "let us take the case of the stationer on the corner: he may, per- , The Editor hears That Miss Kate Asselstine is one of the most charming figures of the three U.E.L. scenes in the Historical Pageant.

A big bunch of the latter blos- soms, which adorns the long centre table in the school tent, was sent in from a little school north of Share bot Lake and arrived safely to be en- joyed by thousands.

She is one of Kirgston's miany pretty girls and is excellent in her part. That it is unfortunate that the Fair Grounds are not in more ship- shape condition. They could be made much more attractive to the visitors with a little care and trouble. That the relics of old days gather- ed together in the shop windows of some of the Kingston merchants have been a feature of the pageant week. Little groups are seen bppo- site the windows and many !com- ments, showing the interest aroused by the story told by these collections from the homes of the neighborhood, are heard, ' -- ' That once more Mr. Bushell has had won 1 weather for his fair; scarcely a cloud in the sky and air | haps, lay in a supply of some newly Patented type of penmeil. He is not sure that he can sell it--therefore he takes the possibility of failure into consideration. It is a gamble, and he recognizes it as such. And, of course, a failure forseen has less power to upset us than gone which comes out of a clear sky. It's all a matter of viewing one's work with the right philosophy, the philosophy of expecting the best but being pre- ared for the worst. The housekeep- '| er's profession has its hazards just like the business man's, **But household mistakes are not the only pitfalls of the home woman. There are social mistakes as well. Sometimes these are twice as upset- ting as our little housekeeping trage- dies. For instance, let us say that we have met a neighbor on the street and, in a thoughtless moment, have criticised some other neighbor to her. When we get home we realize that we should not have done it. We are sorry 'for our: impulsiveness, sorry that we have not been true to our real self which disapproves of gossip. ' But--we are master only of the unspoken word! The mischief is done! 'Therefore the only thing to do is to remind ourselves that we , must make some mistakes in life, and to resolve that we need not, at least, ever make that particular mis- take again. This is an application of philosophy which a sensible woman adopts. The unphilosophical woman will brood over her mistakes rather than use them as stepping stones to a richer life." All inquiries addressed to Miss Kirkman in care of the "Rfficlent Housekeeping" department will be answered in these columns in tbair turn.

Mrs. John Wright, the president of the Pro- vinclal W.C.T.U.,, gave a most in- spiring and comprehensive address on temperance, which was greatly appreciated. -- Parham, As fall fairs seem to be very much in vogue at the present time, it seems fitting for Parham Institute to relate their success along these lines, At the June meeting our delegate to the convention of Fair Associa- tions at 'Toronto, Mrs. Thomas Howes brought back many points of interest to which aH members rea- dily responded. As a result, the Woman's Institute offéred to put over the sports on the first day of our local fair. The committee com- posed of Mre. D. A. Goodfeliow, Miss Jou McDonnell, Miss Bernice owes, Miss Carrie Barr, Mrs. Bert Cornwell, and Mrs. J. E. Howes, met at the home of Mrs. J. E. Howes and drew up a programme for that day. Included in these weré a school pa- rade, faficy dress parade for the children, original turnouts, and all kinds of races and jumping. The Institute staged a very successful and unique event when they parad- ed representing costumes from 1825- ganized and played an interesting | same hetween Tichborne ladies in which Tichborne won by a close mar- gin of one.
