ways In which They Anect the Ap-
pearance OF the Wearer.

Men who do not want to look any
fatter In the face than they can help
have nm easy means of accomplishing
their purpose. Not all of them are
aware Of the effect that may be created
by the form of collar or cravat.
''rhe stout man who wants to look as
thin as he can," said haberdasher's
clerk, "ought to wear tie of the kind
known ns Il four-in-band. Preferably
1t should be dark In color and drawn
tight. That carries down the line of
the face and lcngthcns 1t TO degree
that tends to make the face look thin
ner.
Another aid TO making man look
thin IL In the height of his collars.
Stout men who want to look thin
should wear high collars and closed
ones. Any collar that opens In front
makes one look stouter under nearly
every circumstance. Such collars are
becoming to the thin men.
"The fat man should avoid the kind
of tie that has horizontal effect. This
Will add pounds to his appearance-in
his face, mt least.
ION the contrary, this cross effect
will make the thin man look stout
The broad scarfs have little effect on
mans looks one way or the other.
When he wears them 1t is the collar
that makes the difference
"IIe should therefore see that he
wears high oneithat does not open II
he wants to look as thin as possible.
whereas If he wants TO seem stouter an
open collar will produce that effect for
him."

MERRY MEALTlMES.
The Table No Place For Fault Find
ing. NagRing and strife.

Has 1t ever been your lot TO sit at
table with group of young folks who
ate the meal in silence or, with few
constrained remarks, looked askance at
the head of the family before ventur-
ing on any remark? l have seen such
a sight on more than one occasion.
Doctors have told us over and over
again of the beneficial results arising
from meal eaten with contented
frame of mind and with cheerful sur
roundings; but, sad TO say, there are
many households where each meal is
a constant scene of pickering, nagging
and fault finding.
This is not only the case where there
are young children, who require n
reprimand occasionally for careless
ness, but am speaking of those homes
where the girls and boys are we'll into
their teens. Wrong is that parent, Ell
ther father or mother, who chooses the
hour when all are assembled round
the table to mention some half forgot
ten grievance or to find some fault.
If any trivial thing has been done
wrong or any duty omitted wait until
dinner or tea is over before you scold,
blame or reprimand. Let the food
which God gives us for the purpose of
nourishing and sustaining our bodies
have the opportunity Of accomplishing
that end, which cannot be the case If
every mouthful is swallowed with Ell
ther sarcastic word or an uncompli-
mentary remark. More indigestion,
nervousness and other arrangements
are caused by the too common fault of
uncomfortable mealtimes than many
people would suppose, and It is our
positive duty, which we should all try
to remember, to make those hours of
the day cheerful and agreeable to the
children and to set them an example
which you would be the first to notice
and approve in others.-Scotsman

MISSING WORDS.
Annoying Gnps In English Language
Ihnt Cnuse Inconvenience


The English language may fairly
claim TO be the most prolific In the
world. Not content with its native
riches, II possesses In n special degree
the faculty of assmilating everything
useful from other tongues, ancient and
modern. II ought indeed TO be the
most perfect vehicle of thought In the
world, and In some respects no doubt
II Is.
But, curlously enough, there are de-
flciencies In English not to be found In
far less coplous languages. While In
many cases we have half dozen
words expressing the same or prac-
tically the same thing, there are, on
the other hand. certain ideas that have
no appropriate words TO express them.
In the words denotlng relationship
some notable gaps are found. The
most glaring instance is the want of n
word TO distinguish between male
and female cousin. Other languages,
such as French and italian, have sep
nrate word for each, but In English
some addition or explanation Is re-
quired in order to make IL clear which
sex is intended.
Curious gaps occur here and there in
our language If we look into 1t. The
word "show" expresses the idea of
making to hear-a phonograph, for ex-
ample. IL took the phonograph TO my
friend and Whatt "Got him to
listen to It. would probably be the in
elegant finish to the sentence.
On the other hand, audience" means
TO those present In lecture hall or con
cert room. But what of those who see
a cricket match, for instance? "Spec-
tators" is the nearest word, but II does
not correspond exactly TO audience"
There Is one deficiency in the Ian
guage so awkward and irritating that
even Mt this late hour II ought to be
made good. Need II he said that refer
ence Is made to indiscriminate use of
the personal pronoun 10 denote either
the person speaking or the person
spoken Of? This may not be defect
peculiar to English, but 1t isRne from
which the ancient classical tongues are
entirely free.
"He said he had offered him money,
which he had declined" would be quite
comprehensive either in Greek or Lat
I'm. but in English II neccssltates num-
Der of bracketed explanations which
are positively annoying and destructive
of grace and fuency.-London An

The sedan chair is named after Sc
dan, the town where 1t was first used.
The earliest mention of 1t In England
occurs in 1881. Early In the following
century the Duke of buckingham
caused much indignation by It's use In
London. People were eXasperated at
that nobleman employing his fellow
men to take the place of horses to car
ry him. Prince Charles brought from
Spain In 1923 three curlously wrought
sedans, two of which he gave to the
Duke of buckingham. A few weeks
after their introduction Masslnger pro-
duced his play. "Thc Bondman," and
in 1t he thus adverts to the ladies':
For their pomp and care being borne
