The AndeI Wilma Hat Girl.

We had picture frame which con.
tanned picture we did not admire,
though when / purchased 1t it was
my choice of many. Sometimes pic
lures do not wear well, the same as
an ornament which you may have adj
mired at first. but soon tire of. In
selecting another picture for this
frame, rural scene with many peo-
pie in it was chosen. One of the first
remarks of an observer was regarding
the hat of little girl which hung
down her back in a way to resemble
an angels wing. The artist may not
have intended any such resemblance.
and my attention had to be called to
it before I noticed 1t. When you see
something useful or interesting and
new to you, please call my attention
to II, because l may never see 1t ex-
cept through your instruction. If you
read something In newspaper and
want to cut it out for your own scrap
book or collection. tell me where to
buy 1t for my readers and my own
personal benefit.

Dictionary.Directory.

An office man came In and asked
the manager for the dictionary.
The manager opened his eyes and
said, Dictionary"
Then the Office man corrected him
self and explained that he meant d.
rectory.
The Office man made the same error
several times, then began to hunt for
cause and cure. w..
In his youth he had been frequent
user of a dictionary about the size of
the directory which occasionally he
e. borrowed of the manager. slN
When he wanted the directory he
wanted big book and his voice was
used to saying dictionary. r
AS he started to borrow the dircc-
tory he would begin to think of other
subjects and unconsciously let his
voice box work without the attention
of his head. ..s.s, F..
When the voice box is left to man
age itself it follows the path of least
resistance or previous ways due to
habit.
He conquered this to him an easy
error by talking it over with himself
and reviewing his mistake and advis-
ing himself to be more cautious.
We are able to form habits of eau
ton by starting, repeating and keep
ing at it. You try telling yourself that
you had better watch yourself when
doing so and so next time and you
may find it quite help to your mem
DRY and better judgment. 90.

In few minutes Miss Little coaxed
her sister to change chairs with her
SO she could sit next to her mother.
Then the little brain found rest and
peace, and caught an element of pop.
ularity, and began Analysing condi-
tions. ...
The big sister was tall and slim and
had on no wrap, and she was more in.
terested in the program than in Miss
Titles personal comforts.
The mother was large and fleshy
and had on fur coat, and she knew
that the tired head would have been
better off in bed than there, but the
next thing to bed for Miss Little
was to be within the arm and against
the heart of her best friend.
Popularity is due to reputation,
physical stability and warmth, and an
interest in the personal comforts of

Doctors who keep well know that
unapplied knowledge never does any
good. One of the finest physiques in
the United States is that of profess
sor of hygiene and he lives privately
just as he lectures publicly upon the
subject. But personal hygiene is hard
ly a medical subject. 1t is more a
knowledge of personal peculiaritics
coupled with common sense. One doc
tor claimed a little righteousness
would prevent two.thirds of the sick
ness he was called upon to prescribe
for. Another told me that the appli-
cation of common sense would destroy
nine. tenths of his practice.

Best Way to Find Truth.

Babies are cared for in many cases
just as well as the mother knows how
to, yet in these very cases the babies
often suffer much. What should be
done? Good books on baby science
reach a few. Scattered articles In
periodicals reach many more. All
who read do not apply because they
do not see the practical side. Some
never think of putting into practice
the useful things found while reading.
Here is one plan: First, want to
know more. Study self, study baby,
study baby's nest, clothes and sur
roundings. Do not experiment much,
but fall in love with taking better
care of BABY" The next friend you
meet may know something of great
use to you and baby, but you do not
know what that information is; Meth
er does your friend. The only way
to find unknown useful truth is to ask
questions and exchange valuable
knowledge at every opportunity With
everyone you can.
