"A Heart as sturdy as an Oak"

But what about the blood which the
heart must pump at the rate of 20
times a minute? II this heart is to
be sturdy and the nerves strong this
blood must be rich and pure. Hoods

to Washington to live, and her home is
only block or two from the Spanish
legation, says a writer in the Washing
ton Post. .Alice in Wonderland"
which her nurse has read to her again
and again, is her favorite book, and
many of her ideas about things have
been gained therefrom. The Spanish
legation has been of the greatest in
terest to her ever since she heard who
lived there.
Does a duchess live there, motner?"
she asked one day in passing. "A
really, truly, sure enough duchesso"
Yes" answered her mother.
"A duchess like Alice saw" she per-
sisted
Yes" said her mother, who hadn't
read Alice in 20 years. The little girl
pondered the matter and every day for
a week passed and repassed the le-
cation with her nurse. AT the end of
the week she came to her mother one
day with a look of the keenest disap-
pointment.
You sad a really duchess lived in
that house" said she, sorrowfully.
but it isn't so. I've watched and

come with a letter and ring the bell.

able ideas were gained for practical

An interesting programme was rem
dered at the Woman's club on Wednes-
day by the members of the music de-
partment.
Miss Hattie Young took for her sub
ject EARLY Musical instruments in
Italy," enumerating the most popular
of those used by the troubadours and
minnesngers of the middle ages. Wind
instruments were usually associated
with shepherds and satyrs, while
stringed instruments belonged to the
Gods and poets. Miss Young claims
that while all the leading types Of in
struments were discovered in the early
periods Of human history, the full pow
ers of the best have been reached only
in recent times. Mrs. Flavin read an
excellent paper on Miracle Plays and
the Beginning of Oratorio." The former
were dramas founded on Biblical and
legendary subjects and were performed
usually byth clergy and choristers dur
ing the twelfth and thirteenth centur-
les. Mrs. Flavin said that while opera
was the production Of cultured, in
tel1ectual Florence, oratorio, the twin
sister, was the offspring of emotional,
religious Rome during the same era.
Miss Robinson introduced the second
paper by contrasting the beginning of
oratorio, which arose in the church,
with that of the opera, which originat-
ed in the attempt to revive Greek drama.
