Venables , Mrs. Frank Kelly Mrs. Helen Laswell Miss Catherine Koreski Miss Ruth Schichtl Schichtl Brothers Miss Marie Keolker Mr. C. L. Twohy DECIDE AND DO! The easiest thing in a world of things Is to sit and wait until somebody brings Complete instruction on what to do, And how to do it, and when, to you. It's easy then, to go straight ahead And follow the facts just as somebody said. If they come out wrong and your work's in vain, Why, that's for somebody else to explain! Yes, it's easy to sidestep and pass the buck, But the fellow who does it is out of luck 5 Since the big success always seeks the man Who can plan his work and work his plan. The power of the man whom this world consults Is based upon this: that he gets results, If you'd follow his footsteps, you-yes, YOU! Must learn to DECIDE and decide to DO. -Selected.

SODALITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN.-The Children of Mary meet on the third Friday of each month. The object of the sodality is to foster and increase devotion to the Blessed Virgin. The Catholic girl of today needs a wealth of strength and spiritual grace, and a guide and model to influence her daily life, for the maxims of the world are fatal to the true principles of right and wrong. If she would not fail in her high purpose of living above the common level, she needs ever cling close to Mary, her Mother. MISSIONARY SOCIETIES.-The Missionary Societies were organized for the pur- pose of promoting the interests of home and foreign missions. The Academy unit numbers seventy members, all of whom are very earnest in helping the cause of the missionary.

Sixty-two THE AURORA A CALENDAR ROMANCE Our hero was the common sort, when all is said and done, He worked his head off daily, and was out to get the-Mon. The reason for his diligence, was commonplace, 'tis true He tried to swell his salary so it would suflice for-Tue. And maybe that's the reason why one day he lost his head, And falling on his knees he cried, Oh, maiden, wilt thou-Wed. ' He may have thought this sudden, but it seemed not so to her, She lisped a quick acceptance and said forcibly Yth -Thur. But when they went to keeping house he feared that he would die, For, oh, that modern maiden could neither bake or-Fri. She could not run a bungalow, or even run a flat, So on many sad occasions, in some restaurant they-Sat. But he forgave her everything-as man has always done, When she presented him one day, a bouncing baby-Sun. -Selected. OUR SHOPS One of the first things Mrs. Hope did after her arrival in Yakima was to visit the parish priest, to introduce herself, and state her desire to meet the women of the parish. The good father, very much pleased to have a new parishoner, promised to report her arrival to Mrs. King, president of the Ladies Aid Society. A few days afterwards a lovely- looking woman rang Mrs. Hope's doorbell, and in a gentle voice inquired if the occupant was Mrs. Hope. Scarcely had Mrs. King uttered the sentence, than she felt herself ac- tually pulled into the house and openly embraced. Why, Ruth, Mrs. Hope exclaimed, I am Annf' The women had been close friends when Mrs. King, then Ann Gray, had spent a year at a boarding-school on the coast. But they had lost all trace of each other's whereabouts during the years following their marriage. They spent the afternoon chat- ting about their school days, and the happenings of the years which had intervened since their last meeting. Gradually, their conversation began to center itself on Yakima, her remarkable growth, and promising future. At length Mrs. Hope confessed that, although she knew she would like, and did admire the city very much, she was as yet wholly ignorant of its stores and shops. Really, Ruth, she said, I am quite puzzled as to whom I should patronize. That was one reason why I was anxious to meet some of the ladies. Can you give me some advice? Well now, that is a very general request, but I shall try to help you. Should I start with the merchandise? Ditter Bros. carry a very good line of dry-goods, and so does Oallahan's. At Chas. Barnes's you can find the most fashionable styles in w0men's ready to wear garments. The latest things in every season's hats can always be ob- tained at Kaufmann's or the Bonnet Nooke. Barnes-Woodin and the Emporium, our largest department stores, can certainly supply many of your needs. But for your hus-
