THE DRUIDS OF PARIS.
faded Denisens of the Gay Capital

There have been many curious or.
ders, sects or confraternities in Paris
from time to time, such as the Rosi-
crucians. Some women have now
been founding the "Order of Druid.
ness" and are reviving the old Celtic
mysteries and ceremonies to re-
markable extent. The movement or
iginated with two Parisiennes, who,
when they were not wearing the long
flowing white robes of their Order
dress in the most ravishing twentieth
century manner. The Druidesses
have also Druids, who accompany
them to the Forest of Fontalnebleau,
there to celebrate their rites. At the
end of each month Druids, and espe-
cially Druidesses, march by moonlight
when there is moonlight, through the
forest, singing hymns to Nature, and
addressing poetical invocations to the
moon, the rocks, the streams and the
trees. On the last night of December
the Druidesses and their friends went
to Fontainebleau Forest there to pluck
the miseltoe, or, rather to bring it
down with golden bill-hooks. The sac
red plant was carefully gathered in
white cloth, all present singing
hymns in its praise.

anything, little more tough than he
was when the states formed his

Simple Home Decoration.

Never has there been a time when
some element Of interest has not at
tached itself to hand work of even
the simplest kind, and to-day, when
the mechanical processes Of pictorial
reproduction have practically annihi.
lated the thought of handicraft. 1t is
pleasant to know that in many places
the love for the old personal element
in human endeavor is still cherished
as precious thing.
One Of the smaller fields for ex.
ploitation along these lines that has
been considerably developed during
the last tew years is that Of the
hand decoration of some strong or
beautiful thought, which when framed
and hung as q wall ornament serves
the double purpose of furnishing a
pleasant bit of color for the eye and
giving every day needed uplift to
the soul jaded with the strain and
rush of our modern life methods.
The writer has very distinct re.
during some gray days in his life, Of
finding upon the wall of a guest cham
Der of kindly home where he was
visiting the prettily decorated lines
now well known, beginning "Sleep
sweetly in this pleasant ROOM" etc,
and of how much sweeter his rest was
than 1t would have been had not the
dainty little mental sleeping draught
been administered.
There Is also vivid spot in his
mind as to the time and place when
he first ran across, during an evening
call, William Ellery Channing's sym.
phony, ITO live content with small
means; to seek elegance rather than
luxury" ETC., and with what determin.
ed persistency he has continued to
cling to the letter and spirit of at
least the first clause Of that fine lit.
tie production ever since.
1t has been a work Of no small
pleasure then to have been able for
several years past to place these
pregnant sermonettes in many homes
where they have spoken gently and
encouragingly every day to those that
understood, each carrying with 1t
bit Of hand work in water color in
addition to the helpful text.

Good ard Bad Fortune About Balanced

There is such thing as luck--and
there is such a thing as half-luck,
said a Preside philosopher. Many
men are heard to complain because
they don't have luck, but I'm fairly
well satisfied, for have had half-luck
all my days.
when / was a little shaver about 8
years old my mother sent me on horse
back from our farm to the country
store at the crossroads, to exchange,
or trade as we then said, six eggs
for some brown sugar. l carefully
placed the eggs three in one jacket
pocket and three in the other. My
mother wanted me to carry them In a
little basket or bag, but had my
own notions and wouldn't do 1t. Well,
in trying to make our old horse Dolly,
run at a circus gait-after got out OF
sight of the house, was thrown off
and broke three of the eggs.
when reached home with a small
quantity of sugar and an egg-spattered
Jacket. | received the two doughnuts
which had been promised me for going
after the sugar-also a lively switch
ing from my mother for breaking the
eggs. That's what I mean by half
luck. had broken only half the eggs
and was both rewarded and punished.
This half-luch has presided over
my life throughout" continued the
philosopher, according to the Detroit
Free Press. 1--WE made money and
lost some of it; good health Is mine
about half the time; one of my sons
is industrious-the other Is not! one
daughter married well and the other
did not. OF my two wives, one ruled
me and the other one could influence.
So it has gone-half-luck all the way
along; but I'm not complaining; no.
indeed. I'd be afraid to complain for
fear of worse"
