to be good humored.
Jollity and exhuberant health are a pro-
verbal combination. The hearty man who
Is always laughing doesn't have any trouble
with his digestion. It has been said that
laughing makes people healthy. The truth
is that health makes people laugh.
1t is impossible to estimate the ire
mendous influence of health upon human
character. A man with a headache will
not be in happy, contented frame of
mind. A man who suffers from a weak
stomach and an impaired digestion will sit
and grumble through the best meal ever
prepared. A bilious man who is not
bore, is deserving of place in a museum.
A nervous man who is not petulent and
fault finding is curiosity. All these con-
ditions lead to grave diseases, when the
victim becomes not only disagreeable, but
dependent as we'll. A wise wife will real
ize that while the old saying that mans
heart is in his stomach" is not literally
true, it is fact that his stomach sweetens
or sours his character according as it is
healthy or unhealthy. DR.. Pierce's Golden

The favorite flower of the '9S girl will
be the violet; the favorite confection
flavor will be rose; the favorite perfume
will be a heavy heliotrope sachet; the
favorite time of day will be starlight,
for then her outdoor pastimes are at
their height, if she has a chaperon who
is obliging enough to accompany these
nocturnal parties-for the '9s girl is con-
ventional.
Her favorite people will be witty ones;
her favorite plays will be funny ones;
and her favorite authors will be those
who write thrilling plots.
She will wear patent feathers; and
she will wear furs now, lace later. She
will take to materials other than silks,
and she will wear a great many little
knick-knacks about her, chatelaines,
bangles and chains.
The marriageable age Of the '9S girl
will be considerably moved along, de-
spite certain coming society marriages
of girls at an early age. Thirty suits
her well; thirty-five better. She will
be like Chauncey M. Depew's much
admired bride, of whom he said: "She
did not look a day over twenty-one,
though her family Bible told me she
was forty-two." The '9S girl will be as
young as she looks, and that means that
she will look young to get married, no
matter how old she be.
The '9S girl will go in for sciences.
astronomy and inventions. But If you
want to know more about her you must
watch out and read it in the fair lines
of her strong young face.

WHAT, AN UMBRELLA!
Scotch Plaids Are Keeping the Rain
Off in Lively New York

The craze for plaid has reached most
acute crisis.
First we had plaid cottons, woolens
and silk of every hue, pattern, design
and clan. Then shop windows grew gor-
geous in their fall dressing of exquisite
| ly blended plaid fabrics. Then the craze
ran to ribbons, and the counters were
heaped with them, and ever tailor-made
girl and masculine swell sported plaid
necktie.
The hosiery counters, too, came in for
their share in the fad, and men and
women donned plaid socks and stock
| ings. Plaid waists became the extreme
| fad, and there were actually some plaid
hats placed upon the market and pur-
chasers found for them.
| The canny Scotchman who loves the
plaid of his clan must have had the
cookies of his heart warmed at the falls
display of bright reds and greens and
yellows, large and small plaids and
checks, the Stuart and Stewart, the
Campbell and Rob Roy. the Robert
Burns and MacGregor, and so on through
the whole Scotch peerage of clans.
| But the climax remained to be reached,
| and reached it was few days ago, when
though the rain poured as If thrown
from buckets, the streets were wet and
sloppy and the atmosphere gray and
depressing, there came amid all the
! gloom and dreariness bright patches of
color here and there, and the uninitiated
gazed in open-eyed wonder and forgot
the descending torrents, the sloppy
streets and the general grayness, at the
startling sight of several plaid UNI
brellas.
The women had had to contend with
so many rainy Mondays that it seemed
as though they had become desperate
and determined to dispel the blues by
turning out en- masse carrying umbrel-
las of the brightest of plaid silks. Um-
brellas which might we'll cause the bon
ny Scotchman to exclaim, "Hoot, mont"
at the sight Of them.
Seriously, they are here, whether to
stay is an open question. doubt their
long tenure of life, for they are too
"outre" to be in vogue with the swell
tailor-made girl. AS they are here. how
ever, they demand some recognition.
Apart from their loudness, they call for
some attention by reason of their at
tractiveness. When confined to the
dark-green plaids, with their hair
stripes of gold, they are not unpleas-
ing, but when fashioned Of the bright
red and blue and yellow plaids they are
vulgar.
The rain did not appear to affect the
bright colors of the silk. The handles
are very pretty. Some are in natural
wood, others in pearl, inlaid with gold
and silver and imitation Jewels, still
others in handsomely carved burnt
ivory, and then again there are enam-
eled handles in plaid designs to match
the silk.
These plaid umbrellas come cheap and
they come dear. A very fair umbrella
may be bought for 50. and, as the fad bids
fair to be short lived. that seems enough
to pay for one. Some go as high as $25
and they are Of good enough quality and
handsome enough to be worth carrying

sand-filtered water even in cases where

Close by the cradle the mother croons
Lullaby, rockaby nursery tunes;
Dreamily singing she patiently tries
sleep to bring to the baby's eyes.
Minute by minute the evening fits,
still in the chair she drowsily sits;
Soothing and rubbing the aching gums,
I.onginr for slumber that never comes:
Rocking the baby tnat fretfully lies
Filling the room wits its nervous cries.
Weary with watching the mother sings
Wooing the god with leaden wings;
softer and softer the ditty grows;
Now the little ones eyelids close;
sinking at last into dreamland deep
Mother and baby are fast asleep.
