ourselves simply with bank account
We forget there is a prosperity of the
mind and heart just as much as there
is of the purse, and that unless we
lay up something for that we may
come to want there. too-a hunger for
love we have never won, poverty
for lack of interests we have never
cultivated; that may be just as hard
to bear as physical privation. Chaun-
eel Depew once truly said that the
reason so many American men kept
on working long after they had ac-
cumulated enough fortune was because
they had plenty to retire on
they had nothing to retire to. They
were poor rich men, who were rich in
nothing but money.
This may not be a conventional view
to take of the subject. but it is true
one nevertheless. 1t does us all good
now and then to sit down and count
our blessings, and when we are splat-
tered by mud from Mr.. Coupons au-
tomobile to remember that we may be
richer than he is in the things that
really count towards happiness and
well-being in life. Money isn't the
only thing, and there are other kinds

It was a Brookline electric, COM
fortably filled when well-dressed
young woman entered and took seat
next to a man. Presently, says the
Boston Herald she leaned forward and
began to tie up her shoe-lacing. 1t
proved rather difficult to do with her
gloves on, but after while the pas
sengers witnessing the performance
saw the feat accomplished and the
lady sit back, calmly gazing out of the
window as if 'she was always tying
her shoe" in electric cars At the next
stop, the man beside her rose to get
off, but, 10! there came a struggle, and
then horror mutual and general. The
two were fastened, not exactly hand
and foot, but shoe and shoe So dill
gently had the lady tied the knots that
the lacing had to be cut by a ready
pocket-k knife before the couple could be
separated. Bushes and laughter, en-
barrassment and indignation were rife.
for of all comicat scenes to which street
cars are subject this was one of the
drollest.
Amusing complications have result
ed from H. Mex. Twombly of Flor
ham, N. j., serving his fashionable
neighbors with milk and cream, the
surplus product of his model dairy.
Mrs. Newcomer. says the New York
Times, who took a furnished house In
the exclusive suburb on May l, hailed
from a part of the country where the
name of Twombly is not so well known
as here, and when she asked her next
door neighbor Mrs. S., to recommend
a milkman, she became the innocent

teal jokes.
Mr.. Twombly is the best milkman,"
said Mrs. SIS husband, who was stand
ing by. Just telephone your order to
3S Madison" he added. giving the num-
Der of Mr. Twomblys residence instead
of the call for the farm buildings.
Mrs. Newcomer called for Mr.. Twom-
bly, and gave her order, which the mas
ter of Florham obligingly took down
and turned over to his factor.
What very peculiar trades people
you have here" said Mrs. Newcomer
to the SIS the next evening. The
milkman's wife called on me this af-
ternoon. Fortunately l was not in"
Mrs. SIS gasp cut short her joking

other visitors coming in his confession
and explanation of the social status of

But there was another chapter.
That milkman's wife is most persis-
tent" was the way Mrs. Newcomer
opened the subject the following even

aphrase of an old proverb. 1t is an
noying, says the New York Tribune,
to honest folk to see how often the
two help social aspirant to enter the
charmed circle.
How beautifully Mrs Newcomer
dresses" remarked a fashionable wo-
man. MY maid, who knows her maid.
tells me she gets all her gowns from
Paris"
Mrs. Newcomer Is the cleverest
creature 1 know about Clothes" was
another womans comment. How do
you suppose she manages? We both
have the same dressmaker, a little wo-
man out in the suburbs, who told Inc
she makes every one of Mrs. New
comer's so-called imported gowns. She
says Mrs. N. is extraordinarily clever
about carrying every detail in her
head; that she goes and sees all the
newest models, and then returns home
and writes out full descriptions; and
as the dressmaker herself has great
taste and is perfect filter and fin
Usher, they produce between them the
most artistic creations. Then Mrs.
Newcomer tacks in old belts with the
trade mark of Paris houses on them. OF
course, she does not have to tell stories
a bout them Her maid sees them and
does all the talk to other maids, who.
of course, tell their mistresses all
about other women's clothes. Now,
that is what5I would call really clever
bluff"
Mothers never have any trouble with
the naturally curly locks of their chill

pick them. If child's hair be brushed

Hairdressing Is a detail that does
not receive much attention in the case
of little girls. Probably not one moth

To the intelligent mother a baby's
cry should be the best index to it's
physical condition. The healthy baby
cries very loudly and in lusty, ex-
plosive, angry manner, and the tears
flow freely. The sick baby. or the one
on the verge of sickness, cries preev-
ishly or whines in a low tone.
Watch the manner in which the baby
takes it's food. If 1t is perfectly well
it will attack the bottle greedily and
