Character is supposed to be revealed
by handwriting, but the character of
most script is very dependent on the
style of pen which the writer prefers.
A stub gives a more decided and
candid air to a page than is possible
with a fine needle pointed pen, and if
there fingers in the world any old
fashioned person who uses the quill Of
her grandmother then is her writing
bold, free and most quantity individual.
Paper should be white, moderately
thick and unruled, and the gentle
woman is studicus to avoid eccentrici-
ties of size and shape.
Her monogram, or the name of her
residence, or her street and number
may be engraved at the top of the
sheet.
Ink must be always black and the
writing consequently legible.
Nobody with the least claim to be re-
garded as aware of good form ever uses
pale ink, and colored inks are ruled out
as signs Of eccentricity.

Covers of printed cotton may be pur-
chased in a variety of designs. A Gen
oese pattern, for instance, has a cen
trail motif of the tree of life loaded with
queer flowers and fruits intermingled
with beasts and birds of strange form
and plumage. There are also old In
dian and Chinese patterns which are a
treasure to their possessors. I have
seen a bedroom furnished up to an In
dian printed cotton spread with a gor-
geeus bird and flower design, the hand
some peonylike blossoms being repeat
ed in the carpet and wall paper. The
curtains were of a trellis pattern in
green chintz, the same material cover
ing the chairs of the eighteenth century
mahogany furniture. The printed bed
spread in the illustration reminds one
of the old verdure tapestries, with its
stiff tree forms and wonderful birds and
animals. The center is a small conven-
tionaI leaf pattern on white ground.
A twentieth century design is of
small flowers with border Of conven-
tional flower forms.

furnishing of the chamber comes the

ordered liver, while in reality they require some
effective digestive preparation like Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, obtainable of all druggists, which
are pleasant and perfectly safe to supply the
lacking fluids that cause digestion and proper
nutrition, thus strengthening the entire system
and insuring a strong, vigorous, healthy body.
1t is safe to say that the regular, persistent
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at mealtime
will cure any form of stomach trouble except
cancer of the stomach.
Mrs. Lydia Bartram of Assyria, Mich, writes:
II have suffered from stomach trouble for 10
years and Ave different doctors gave me only
temporary rolief. A Mr.. E. R. Page advised me
to try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and four boxes
did me more permanent benefit than all the doc
tors medicines that have ever taken"
Mrs. G. Il. Crotsley, 538 Washington ST.,
Hoboken, N. r., writes: "Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets just fill the bill for children as well as
for older folks. I've had the best of luck with
them. My three-vear-old girl takes them as
readily as candy. l have only to say Tablets
andshedrops everythlngelse and runs for them"
Full size package of these tablets sold by
druggists at 80 cents. Little book on stomach
troubles mailed free. Address z. A. Stuart Co.,

Stricken With Heart Disease

Pick up almost any newspaperan and you win find
an account of some person being stricken with
heart disease. Heart trouble, at least among the
Americans, is on the increase. No doubt this is
due in part to the worry, excitement and strenu-
osity of modern American business life, and yet
how many, many times ii is the result of weak
stomachs, of poor digestion.
While real organic heart trouble is incurable,
it is comforting to know that not more than one
case in every hundred is organic. The re-
mainder are functional being due to a sylapa-
thetic disturbance, produced through the nervous
system, caused by great muscular prostration,
improper nutrition in short, dyspepsia.
This functional disturbance of the hearts
action is manifested by palpitation, irregularity
of beats, intermission, rolling OF tumbling move
ment and a feeling as if the heart were in the
throat. These symptoms often give rise to great
apprehension, anxiety, fear and depression of
mind. But since the cause of the trouble is
indigestion, it readily yields to Etuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, the great panacea for allstomach
disorders and sympathetic ailments. The close
relation between heart trouble and poor diges-
ton is due to the fact that the heart, the great
force pump Of the system, to which all of the
veins and arteries of the body may be directly or
indirectly traced, and the stomach are controlled

window. No matter how inviting the
bed may be, if the morning sun shines
in the eyes through improperly shaded
windows the rePose is broken and sleep
is impossible. The curtains should not
be at variance with the spread Fer in
stance, if the latter is of the scrim and
battenberg the window curtains should
not at least be of madras or noting
ham, and the toilet table, If draped at
all, should also harmenize in materials
and celors with both curtains and
spread. No matter how simple the ap-
pointments, they should be in harmony.
And let me here say that the simpler
they are the better. Hansings and
f1ummery which prevent a free circula-
ton of air and serve to collect dust and
microbes should be totally discarded.
Even the window curtains should be SO
! hung that they may be pulled entirely
aside to allow the room to be summed
and aired.
Portieres, curtained alcoves and
| heavy stuffed furniture should be ex-
| cluded from the sleeping rooms. If q
portiere is desired let 1t be of the whip
lash variety. These are sometimes not
| pleasant to nervous people because OF
| the tinkling noise which they make
when disturbed, but they are clean
and airy and far preferable to
thick, heavy curtains. The japanese
| make string portieres from acorns. The
acorns should be gathered while they
are quite fresh. so that some of them
will retain the green color while others
will be brown. The blending of greens
l and browns in this way is very pretty
