Do you want dimples? OF course you
do, for dimples are the soft wells into
which Love is sure to fall. Every one
would make Love a prisoner. Then. since
you would have dimples. learn to play
the cornet.

ing this and is bringing into vogue a new
fad. Women are practieing on the cornet
not for music's sake. Bless you, no.
but for the cultivation of dimples. If
they practice faithfully the dimples are
sure to come.
Did you ever see a cornet player who
did not nave dimples in his cheeks2 Did
you ever know a horn blower of any sort
who did not have these little hide and
seek wtelitaIss of his trade? You remember
the dimpled cheeks of Herr Albert Bode,
Of Bellstedt, of Herbert Clark and of Ar
thur Pryor, the trombone artist? Innes
has depressions in his cheeks that are
nothing more nor less than dimples. He
is a trombone player. Watch his band of
eornetists. All have dimpies in Their
cheeks and all viii tell you that they were
not born with these beauty marks. Ask
the blowers of brasses in Sousa's and Gill
more's bands and they will tell you the
same. You can see dimples in the cheeks
of the bugier's who sound the reveilie in
camp. Alice Raymond, the cornetist, has
a pair of dimples of which there was
never a hint until she began playing the
cornet.
Therefore, If you would have dimples-
and who knows how love is entrapped by
them would not?-learn to blow one of
the brasses, preferably for female use the
cornet. You need not aim at skill. Not
the skill, but the exercise, is your primary
need. Puff long and earnestly at the
sounding brass. and after a few weeks the
dinples will begin to appear. Just a sts-
picion of a mint at first. But they will
grow deeper and deeper, and after a time
they will be there TO stay.

we shall fna that the soul is not far

SCOTS at domestic happiness"
Her maxims about love are as fol-
lows
"A man who is unhappy in love thinks
that this is a sufficient pretext why he
should enjoy himself without love. A
person who pardons does not love any
more, since true love does not know the
meaning of pardon. Jealousy on the
part of one who loves us is lattery. A
man and wife should never cease paying
a little court to each other"
Her thoughts on friendship read thus
words of sympathy fall on the sor-
row-stricken heart as drops of water fall
on melting butter; they cause it to over
how. Friendship loses its potency in all
cases where one of The persons is too hap
