Girls Who Gush.

Pm glad,' said a small boy after
witnessing his sisters leavetaking
with friend. that I'm not girl.
They're all skirts, hairpins and gush.'
Now, a girl sometimes condemns the
skirts and hairpins, but did she ever
condemn the gushing habit she and
her schoolmates cultivate?
Does she understand that what they
call enthusiasm other people label
like the small boy-"gush.
1t is so easy to drift into an eXtrav-
agant way of talking. Adjectives and
adverbs that hover on the tip of a
girls tongue are recklessly scattered
about in her conversation until the
charitable among her listeners call her
a "gusher" and the harsher critics an
''exagerator.'
Don't girls. gush. Lop off here and
there the highly colored expression,
the bit of slang, no matter how help
ful it seems to be in piecing out your
meaning, until you have weeded from
your conversation little tricks of talk
ing that make sensible people doubt
your sincerity.
There's nothing sweeter in a girl
than sincerity of thought, sincerity of
purpose and sincerity of expression.
Nobody will credit you with these as
long as you indulge in the gushing
habit

Take a Walk.

For over-tired nerves no exercise is
more thoroughly invigorating and res
torative than walking. Where there is
no organic weakness it is the easiest
thing in the world to walk right
straight into health. Besides stimu-
lating every part of the body, walking.
diverts and charms the mind, making
it more prone to growth and expansion.
The nearer we, can get to the heart of
nature the more in touch are we with
the sources of inspiration, of health,
and beauty of soul and body. Unless
We know how to walk properly, how
ever. our bodies will soon tire Deep
breathing is the natural accompan-
rnent to a graceful gait for it Increases
harmony of motion, giving a buoyancy
that greatly increases the pleasure and
lessons the exertion of Hawking. The
step should be in graceful accordance
with ones height and be elastic and
light, swinging the body so easily from
one leg to another that it's weight is
not felt

A Word for the Banana.

There is fruit dealer in town who
would gladly annihilate the beef trust.
Eat abnanas,' he says. THE banana
is staple article of food, but has been
long neglected as one by the people OF
our country. 1 have Travelled across
Nicaragua and virtually lived on ba-
nanas Think of the different ways
bananas can be prepared. for which the
natives are famous, and certainly the
same means are open to us.
1.-THE banana is the jewel of the Vege-
table kingdom, so far as nutrition is
concerned 1t is twenty-five times as
nutritious as wheat of the same
weight, has forty-five times the nutri-
ment of potatoes, and thirty times that
of rice, the three staple vegetable prod
ucts of the world. In my opinion, 1t
is time that we give our attention to
the bananas"

What Makes a Good Face.

good heart makes a good face
perhaps not beautiful or classic, but
fine, sincere and noble. The face will
shine with God behind it, There are
some faces even today that at times
seem to have a solar glow upon them.
There are faces that are quiet and un-
interesting in repose that light up
amazingly with the animation of talk
ing. There are some who can never
get good photograph because the
camera cannot catch the subtle sparkle
of the eye in which the whole indi-
viduality lies.
There are some whom you would not
at first call handsome, whose faces
grow on you with constant acquaint-
ance until they become beautiful to
you. For you see the soul shining
through, you see the .splendor of a
noble character, clarifying every fea-
ture. A true beauty in the soul will
come out in the sweetness, the bright
ness, the quiet glory of the face.

Frills of Fashion.

Foreign fashion notes say that black
silk gowns have been raised again to
the pinnacle of triumph which they
held fifty years ago in Paris, and also
that it is the smart women who wear
them.
Lady apples with flowers and foliage
form one of the fashionable hat decor
ations.
Grass linen viii hold an important
position among summer gowns. 1t is
quite expensiyes and is found in a va
riety of patterns.
The emerald matrix- is one of the
many popular stones FOR breaches and
belt pins.
Silk gloves with woven lace tops are
to be worn with thin gowns this sum-
mer, as well as mitts, and they are both
longe nough to meet the elbow sleeves.
Black,w hite and gray are the fash
ionable colors.
In gloves for summer wear there are
some of white lace kid which will wash.
These cost more than other wash
gloves, but they are satisfactory, and
that is sufficient reason for their popu-
larity.

Pride of Education.

The girl who is educated above her
parents social position has a lot of UNI
pleasantness before her unless she
makes her character strong enough to
rise above her circumstances. There
is much that is petty and snobbish in
society, and she must learn to ignore
the little stings and heartaches her SEN
sitive nature will feel when she meets
with those who burst their superiority
on her. OF course she loves her good
old-fashioned mother and father, but
their manners are so different and their
appearance so devoid of tone when she
compares them with the fashionable
parents of her college companions. Ac-
customed to the refined surroundings
of college life she cannot help noticing
how different the things at home are,
and the little ungrammatical phrases
she is forced to hear CRATE on her feel
ings and wound her pride. If she is
the right kind of girl she will not let
herself feel Inundated. She will, in
stead, endeavor to make her life useful
and happy by applying the benefits of
her education in a way that will bring
out the beautiful qualities OF. her char
acter. Petty pride is about the mean
est trait one can possess. When edu-
cation does not go down into the heart
as well as the mind its best meaning
has been defeated. When the heart is
beautiful with gentle virtues the in
tellect is of a rarer and higher order.

Domestic Items.

The Oriental idea of relieving tired
nerves or physical fatigue in treat
ment of the feet is worth remembering.
To battle the feet in water in to which
various cooling and soothing lotions
are added is to carry far the restoring
process wen tired. Foot treatment, ac-
cording to experts in the matter, is
no. sufficiently appreciated or resorted
to. Soft-soled shoes for all household
wear certainly are to be recommended,
and, if it were possible, according to
these same authorities, for busy men
and women to change both shoes and
stockings in the middle of the day,
much comfort and positive benefit
would follow. A salt foot-bath taken at
night when one feels too tired to sleep
will prove suitably relaxing, and put
one inc trim for the real rest. Have
the water pretty hot, add handful of
sea-salt and keep the feet in till the
water cools. Dhy with a rough towel,
and it viii be found that the tone of the
whole system is restored.

~ Bone Circle. ~
AN OLD FASHIONED WOMAN.

No clever, brilliant thinker she,
With college record and degree;
She has not known the paths OF fame;
The world has never heard her name;
She walks in old, long trodden ways,
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Home is her kingdom, love her dover;
She seeks no other wand of power
To make home sweet, bring heaven near
To win smile and wipe tear
And do her duty day by Gay
In her own quiet place and way
Around her childish hearts are twined,
AS round some reverend saint enshrlned
And follow hers the childish feet
Are led to ideals true and sweet
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood
She keeps her faith unshadowed stlll;
God rules the world in good and III;
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure as pearls of dew,
And life for her is high and grand
By work and glad endeaVor spanned.
This sad old earth's a, brighter place
All for the sunshine of her face,
Her very smile q. blessing throws.
And hearts are happier where she goes,
A gentle, clear eyed messenger,
To whisper love-thank God for her.

Did you see him look at me?" says
one. ''Tee-hee!''
Looks like a fright, doesn't he?
Tee-hee!' says another.
See his shoestring trailing behind
him. Chee-chee, tee,hee!" remarks the
third, if there are three of them.
Now. there is nothing in the least
amusing IN the man or in any of these
observations, yet the girls, like those
of their age and sex, are in convul-
sions of smoker. Why should they be?
A young lady being interviewed on
this theme, says that girls at their
green age cannot make talk in COM
pany, SO they giggle to fill in an awk-
ward silence. She thinks sometimes,
too, the older ones among them do it
TO show that women have d sense of
humor, whereof an enemy has said
their sex is desSSute. But both these
reasons together fail to account for
the vast amount of tee-hee and hee-
hee that very young persons of the
feminine sex put out upon the ambient
atmosphere, says the Philadelphia
Ledger They giggle when they are
surprised and when they are pleased.
when they are embarrassed and when
they are amused and for nothing at
all. Why?

Five Rules of Life.

First. If possible, be well, and have
good appetite. If these conditions
are yours, the battle of life is already
half won. Many soul and heart trou-
bles arise really in the stomach,
though it may seem strange to say.
Second. Be busy. Fill the hours SO
full of useful and interesting work that
there shall be no time for dwelling on
your troubles, that the day shall dawn
full of expectation, the evening full
of reDose.
Third. Forget yourself You never
will be happy if your thoughts con-
stantly dwell upon yourself, your own
projections, your own shortcomings,
what people think of you, and so on.
Fourth. Expect little. Expect little
of life, nor too much of your friends
Fifth. Trust in God. Believe that
God is, that He really knows what is
best for you; believe this truly and the
bitterness is gone from life.

For That Picture.

How to dress is an important ques-
ton in photography, but it is the face
that makes the portrait, and except in
special cases, all considerations of dress
must be secondary to that. If gown
is becoming to you at home, at a re-
ception or on the street, it will look
as becoming in a portrait.
All colors and fabrics are good for
Photographic purposes, but pale col
ors, that blend with the light, like pink,
blue and white, are particularly well
suited to people who can wear them.
Black is always the best color for stout
persons. Soft fabrics, like velvet. lace,
soft silk and wool, are particularly
good for pictures, as they add to the
softness of the features.

KATHLEEN MAvoRNEEN.

Kathleen Mavourneen, the song is still
ringing,
AS fresh and as clear as the trill of the
bird,
In world-weary hearts it is sobbing and
singing,
word.
Oh. have we forgotten the one who first
breathed it?
And have we forgotten his rapturous
art?
Our need to the master whose genius be-
queathed 1t:
Oh. why art thou silent, thou voice of
my heart?
Kathleen Mavourneen, thy lover still in
gers,
The long night is waning-the stars pale
and few,
Thy sad serenader. with tremulous fing-
ers.
Is bound with his tears as the lily with
dew.
The old harp strings quaver, the old voice
is shaking, /,
In signs and in sobs means the yearn-
ing refrain.
The old vision dims and the old heart is
breaking,
Kathleen Mavourneen, inspire UP again,

Keep the Summer Baby Warm.

A summer baby requires nearly the
same amount of clothing as enc born in
the winter. The little cashmere shirts
may be of lighter weight, but they
must still be chiefly of wool and the
flannel skirt, or pinning blanket, can
not be dispensed with. The blanket in
which the child is wrapped need not be
as thick a one as in winter, yet one is
still needed. A newborn baby requires
warmth, and even the summer breezes
are too harsh for the tender flesh until
it becomes accustomed to the atmos-
phere.
Cholera infantum would be of rare
occurrence If proper attention was al
ways given to the quantity and the
guilty of the food.

A Happy Face.

Next to the sunlight of heaven is the
sunlight Of happy face.
1t may be a little face-one that we
nestle upon our bosom or sing to sleep
in our arms With a lullaby.
1t may be a wrinkled face, but it is
all the dearer for that, and ali the
brighter. We linger near it and love
to look upon it and say: Heaven bless
this happy facet" We must keep it
with us as long as we can, for. home
will lose much of its brightness when
that face is gone

whatsoever, in any public room, sits by
