Troubles are like colds. The only way you
can cure them is to walt until they get through
of their own accord.
Figures may not lie. but every tailor who
has ever padded Il dude knows that they pro-
varicate occasionally.
A mans conscience is like a restless baby;
he no sooner gets it to sleep than something
happens 30 wake it up again.
When II man can demonstrate hat there are
no flies on him, Ii you look right close you Will
be npt to find long hairs on his coat collar.
There are two sides to every story, but a
woman should always remember that tho
world has charity only for the side presented
by the men.
Every baby IS the sweetest baby in tho
world. You were once considered the sweetest
thing IN tho world, although you may not
look IL now.

Drawing Room Fad.


No thoroughly smart drawing room is
considered quite complete in these days
without a glaSS-topped table in which
are kept on show all the especially odd
bits of cuTio and antique trifeS pos
sessed by it's owner. A fragment OF
rare old lace. a miniature, an ivory fan,
dim and quaint jewelry, and especially
small dainty pieces Of china, are all
scattered in apparent disorder over the
silk lining of the table, and the plate
glass above il. glistening with diamond
brightness. enhances the charm of the
collection most effectually. The Innings
OF these tables should be of old rose,
pale blue, or green. or silver gray.
The fashion is one that existed 150yearS
AGO I'm Europe, and a few Of the draw
ing rooms have tables of that time,
handed down." of course. by family
ancestors. They may be bought, how
ever. at very high prices, and the furni-
ture dealer will sell a record with each
TO show from what palace il came and
which duchess il was that kept her
miniatures and fans in it.
The furnishing of fashionable draw
ing rooms, by the way, is undergoing an
Important change just now. For the
past ten years it has been the custom tC
crowd the rooms with chairs of every
device. tables, cabinets, divans, and
lamps. Now, the other extreme is IA
vored. and a drawing room TO be cor
rect must contain the feweSt possible
articles of furniture, and the few chairs
must be set fat against the wall. With
one sofa and a table the room is thought
complete. This is also an English fash
ion, dating back $50 years.

point in favor of the alley game that II
is more Sociable than billiards and goes
best when more than two or three are
gathered together.
Considered merely as an exercise,
bowling is OF course open TO serious OBJ
lection that il develops one arm and one
side Of the body at the expense OF the
other. ANY bowler can easily obylate
this by learning to bowl with the let
hand as well as the right, but do not
know of single one who has seriously
set 10 work To deal fairly by both sides
Of his body. 1t would interfere with
scores, and the record-making instinct
is as keen in the jolly bowler as In the
painting hare-asd hounds man. Prooa-
bly, il is better that one side OF the BODY
should be developed than that both
should be neglected.
But il is the social aspect OF bowling
that most compels interest. The club
has long been the citadel Of masculine
privilege. Women have gazed on IL
from the outside with wondering eyes,
scolded about il, longed TO be in IL ana
wondered what was going on within its
