but neatness, cheer and comfort. With
plenty of green about it, it also is even
beautiful. Besides the white, and the
deep soft red in suitable situations,
there is a good combination of cream
color (real cream, not made with
cnrome-yellow, but by mixing little
yellow ochre with good deal of white
lead) with white trimmings, and there
are few tints of gray or brown which
may be used to advantage, but only in
two. or at most in three shades, and
always at the same color, using the
lightest for the body of the house, and
the darker for trimmings and window

Every American boy should learn tc
run. In Greece, in the days when men
and women took better care of their
bodies than they ever have since, every
boy, and girl too, was taught to run,
just as the American girl is taught tc
read. And as far as we can judge by
the statues they have left behind
them, there were very few hollow
chested, spindle-legged boys among
the Greeks. The Persian boy was
taught to speak the truth. run, ride
and shoot the bows.
The English boy is encouraged tc
run. In fact, at some of the great
English public schools, boys of thir
teen and fourteen years OF age, like
Tom Brown and East at Rugby, can
cover six and eight miles cross-coun

A POETS GEM OF A GIRL

He Nearly Lost Her When He Sprinkled
Whale Oil FavOrite he'd of Roses.
New Jersey is proud of poet who
has house in that state and publishes
in New York, and the poet himself is
proud of gem of servant. He came
near losing her the other day. This
particular girl came from an old whal-
ing town in Maine three years ago,
and she has been in the poets house
hold ever since. She made no acquain-
lance among the neighbors' girls, and
she had no steady company. In other
respects she was w orthy of the poets
concentrations. During the three years
that she has worked for Mr.. Poet she
has never asked for vacation to visit
her old home.

Mary, ''for if 1 did 1 am afraid that l
would get homesick."
1t was through the poets own care
lessness last week that he nearly lost
Mary. There is thrifty bed of roses
in front of the poets house that is his
fad and pride. Destructive bugs and
| worms, whichever they might have
been, swooped down on that bed a
week ago and threatened to destroy it.
The poet took advice and, as a conse-
quence, invested in whale oil that was
warranted to kill bugs at long range.
| AS he sprinkled the bushes with the
whale oil a light breeze carried tho
odor of it back to the kitchen, where
Mary was working. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Poet noticed that Mary's mind
seemed to be wool gathering while she
was serving them at luncheon. She
mixed the orders that were given to
her, and she made Mrs. Poet unhappy.
Before dinner was served Mary raped
at Mrs. Poets door.
"Come in, Mary" said her mistress.
Are you ill?"

Mr.. Poet played the garden hose or
the rose bushes for an hour after din

the kitchen. Mary's inconsistencies wa:
gone the next day.

The expression in the prayer book,
