Gum Chewing.

"To chew gum for five or ten min
utes after meal is absolutely bene-
fetal" said a physician, especially for
hasty eaters. who do not half masu-
cate their food, because the action OF
the jaws causes the gastric juices to
flow, and that is good. But so few
people can use and not abuse it. They
get the gum in their mouths and keep
at it till they fairly dry up the saliva
supply. bring on headache and get
generally nervous. This will cause in

made Of cream colOred pongee IN
the shape Of meal sack. The sack Is
tied with crimson satin ribbon, just
as meal sack would be, and the top
is faced with red, so that it shows
a pretty contrast with the cream

Cmningly peeping from the folds
of this top is brown velvet mouse
so realistic in appearance as to be a
source of much amusement. a de

Opais of Various Degrees.

There are several varieties Of opals
and therefore several degrees Of merit
The precious or noble or oriental opa!
IS the supreme. This has all the col
ors, and when these Colors are broken
into spanglcs it is then called the
harlequin opal. Then comes the fire
opal, or giraSolc, with hyacinth red
and yellow reflection. The former
comes from Hungary and the latter
from Mexico. The common. or semi
opalS, are nonopalcscent. The hydro
phanc. or oculuS mundi, is nontranS-
parent. but becomes so by immersion
in water or any transparent fluid. The
cachalong is nearly Opaque and or Il
BLUSH white color. The hyalitr IS
colorlcss, pcllucid and white. The opal
jasper. or wood opal, is the petrifactIon
of wood, opalescent, but without the
coloring which makes the noble gem
so precious.

years work In New York City, of
the new court for juvenile eff md
ers. Justice Julius NJ. Mayer of
the court of special sessions asserts
that the failure OF parents to supply
their children with spending money
Is one of the principal causes OF
crime among the boys and girls.
Lack of knowledge Is the first

said, Is another reason forud for
innocent offences OF mischievious
children.
"In many cases." the justice de-
clares, "the parents are respectable

children have good school records
but the difficulty Is they have no
money to spend, 50 that their de-

They had not walked through the
| streets together for good while
not even to church. Horatio Whit
ney was keenly sensitive to the fact
! that his overcoat and hat were shah
by. q He did not care to remember
how long it was since he had bought
new ones, and he did not want
Martha to remember. So he stayed
at home quietly, and grew a little
grayer and little older every day.
| So he had stayed at home Sunday
after Sunday. He was always tired;
it was a good enough excuse. Martha
gave up urging him after awhile.
| The next morning Martha walked
downtown with Horatio, through
Jermyn street. It was a beautiful
day.
Down the street little way prog
ress was temporarily blocked, and
| Horatio and Martha came to stand
still. A heavy dray was being backed
| across the sidewalk.
| They were abreast of a splendid
| plate-glass showwindow, and Martha
turned to it for entertainment. What
woman was ever at loss for amuse-
ment with a show-window at her ell
bow? But this one-Martha turned
away a little Disguised. 1t was only
mems furnishing store.
The drayman took his time.
Martha was driven back to the win
dow in self-defense, and it was this
time that she saw the coat that re-
minded her. little thrill ran over
her, for it was the exact shade-the
soft, deep gray-of that other coat.
It was not distinguishably different,
should make so little change!
| Martha glanced at Horatio's shabby
overcoat. The pitiless sun gave it no
! quarter. She saw all its fadedness
| and meanness, and the Hstless, de-
| jecued sag of it. 1t gave her start
of surprise that she had not noticed
it before. She scarcely ever noticed
Horatio's clothes. They were always
whole-Horatio had always been
"easy" on his things. There was
rarely anything to mend.
But now-the contrast between the
spruce, new coats in the window and
Horatio's coati Between the sleek
hats set jauntily on the staring
| painted heads of the window-dum-
mics and the faded, worn one plant
ed squarely on Horatio's gray hair!
Martha's heart misgave her at the
contrast. She did not want to look,
but looked on steadily.
HOratiO was looking at the draw
man. His bent shabby shoulders
/ Horatio never looked in show win
dows.
when you get through looking at
| the styles, my dear, we'll go on.
That's fellows taken his time, but
he's out O. the way now"
| 1t was Horatio's voice in her ear
and Martha started with an odd
sense of confusion and guilt. She
| went on down the street trying to
joke herself at ease again. but her
| thoughts ran on persistently in a per-
| turbed undercurrent- The gray over
coat. that had reminded her-she
could not get it out of her sight.
Gray had been so becoming to Hora-
] ito Is years ago-Martha had chosen
| that color herself for his wedding
overcoat." And she had had apple
buds in her wedding bonnet because
mink. and gray were so beautiful to-
gether.
Martha reused herself at madame's.

on the extreme left-don't tell me
