Equally abnormal as a type is the So
ciety butterfly. Excess in any direction is
to be greatly deplored. What gluttony is
to eating, what inordinate and insensate
over exercise means to the athlete, such
is the going and going necessarily,
merely for. the sake of going, to the giddy
society-seeker.
4, a unique ~scrapbook may be easily made
at home, and would be an acceptable git
to a collector, who often does not have
time to make many clippings, says the
Philadelphia press"
1t is supposed that a collection is being
made of pictures from a particular school
of art-it may be Dutch, Old English,
Flemish, modern French or German.
Old magazines and papers may be
searched for copies Of the works of art
lists belonging to these schools.
One artists pictures may be made into
a book, or several artists may be repre-
sented under one head.
A number of large bCown paper envel-
opes will be needed, and if different ar
lists are to be noted in the book one en-
veIope may be devoted to each person.
The artists portrait should be pasted on
the front of the envelope. or, if he is to
have a whole volume given to his works,
his likeness is placed on the outside cover.
To make the volume, a number of the
large brown envelopes are, fastened to-
gether by means of stripes of stout paper
pasted along the lower edges. These strips
are set in with with one or two folds in
them, to permit expansion as the envel-
opes are filled. The upper edges may be
caught together also by narrow folded
strips at the corners. A simple cover may
be fashioned to bind the envelopes into a
volume. If a school of art is represented
each envelope should bear the name of an
artist of that school, and the copies of
his pictures will be placed within, and
some clippings which give a short biog-
raphy of himself should be included.
Literary serapbooks made in this way
could contain cuttings from an authors
work, criticisms and illustrations from his
noted books and a biography of his life.
A current vents book would devote

on the cover, and, within, the accounts,

on important events. In this way infor-
nation is gathered and classified.
Still another suggestion is for a per-
petual calendar. Twelve squares of fine
cardboard are printed or Illuminated with
the name of a month and a pretty or apt
quotation.
Thirty pieces of bond paper or of fine
unruled not paper are cut, many sizes
smaller thar the first square and printed
with the date, but not the day of the
week, a good quotation being also added.
These thirty small pieces are punched
in the upper corners and tied on the large
| squares, baby ribbon being used for this
purpose. If this is placed at the top,
loops for suspending the calendar may
be left after the bows are tied
The months need not be fastened to-
| gether. This contrivance will give a per-
petual calendar. not subject to change
because of the difference between dates
+, and the days of the week.
It is such a happy thing to be assured
! of love and devotion. The half of US go
through life believing that those who
care for us can guess just how deep is
our appreciativeness of them without
our putting into SO many words just what
we think and feel. I believe that we
! miss much that is heart cheering just
because Of this. IF I had only known"
is the burden of more than one regretful
refrain. However much or severe our
philosophy, none of US is Indifferent to
what is thought of us.
We like to know that we have pleased
people whom we nave met. We like to
know when we lave touched a resDon-
sive chord in another heart, and we are
selfish. indeed. if we deprive our friends
OF their right to know that we care for
them. we are, / fear, becoming too afraid
of being thought sentimental, but it is
only the tenderest and truest and best

Those who have allowed the finer sensi-
bilities to die or become Indifferent have
not met the affairs of life as bravely as
they should, for the best that is in one
should not suffer through contact with
rougher things. 1t ought to fit them bet
ter to understand the failures and tempta-
ations of others and to make them syrnpa-
thetic and generous.
Too often we take for granted many
things and expect that others ought to be
able to draw correct conclusions from
our actions. 1t is true occasionally that
factions speak louder than words and
the favors we daily receive from those we
love assure us Of the love that prompts
them, hut. nevertheless, the ~outspoken
avowal of affection and esteem may do
more than anything else.
