Druggist Gokay is selling Hyomei
upon the unusual plan of agreeing to
return the money If the medicine does

A complete outfit costs only one dol

be carried in the vest pocket, medi-

The inhaler will last life time and
there is enough Hyomei for several

Building Good.
Recent tests for impure air in the
high school and in the grade rooms
show remarkable low per cent OF
carbonic acid gas.
In the high school only A parts Of
this gas was found in 10000 parts of
air and the highest proportion was in
Room IL where 6.S parts were found.
The best authorities state that is
considered fair and exceptionally
good.
The tests prove that the air in that
building is better than that in the av-
erage building. They were made near
the close of the session when the
amount of bad air would naturally be
as great as any time during the day.

| lonable dress, which completely masks
feminine personality under designs of
pure convention, despOils it OF its prin-
cipal attraction. From this abuse it
comes about that many things which
women admire DO as much wrong to
their beauty as to the purses of their
husbands and fathers. What would
you say of Il young girl who expressed
her thoughts in terms very choice in
deed, but taken word for word from a
phrase book? What charm could you
find in this borrowed language? The
effect of toilets well designed in them
selves, but seen again and again on
all women indiscriminately, is precise
ly the same.
l cannot resist citing here passage
from Camille Lemonnier that harmo-
niZes with my idea
Mature has given to the fingers of
woman charming art, which she
knows by instinct and which is pecul-
iarly her own, as silk to the worm and
lacework to the swift and subtle spi-
der. She is the poet, the interpreter Of
her own grace and ingenuousness, the
spinner of the mystery in which her
wish to please arrays itself. All the
talent she expends in her effort to equal
man in the other arts is never worth
the spirit and conception wrought out
through a bit of stuff in her skillful
hands.
"Well. ! wish that this art were more
hOnored than it is. As education should
consist in thinking with ones mind,
feeling with ones heart expressing the
little personalities Of the inmost, invis-
ible (which, on the contrary, are
repressed, leveled down, by conformi-
ty-I would that the young girl in her
novitiate of wOmanhood, the future
mother, might early become the little
exponent of this art of the toilet-her
own dressmaker, in short-she who one
day shall make the dresses Of her chill
dren, but with the taste and the gift
to improvise, to express herself in that
masterpiece Of feminine personality
and skill, gown, without which a wo-
man is no more than bundle of rags"

self is almost always the most becom-

ana his person, giving TO existence tnak
luster without which it lacks charm.
For it is not a matter Of indifference
whether man pays attention to these
superhuOus necessities or whether he
does not; it is by them that we know
whether he puts soul into his work
Far from considering it as wasteful to
give time and thought to the perfect
ing, beautifying and poetizing Of
forms, think we should spend as much
as we can upon them. Nature gives
us her example, and the man who
should affect contempt for the ephem-
eral splendor of beauty with which
we garnlsh our brief days would lose
sight Of the intentions of him who has
put the same care and love into the
painting of the lily of an hour and the
eternal hills.
But we must not fall into the gross
error OF confounding true beauty with
that which has only the name. The
beauty and poetry Of existence lie in
the understanding we have of it. Our
home. our table, our dress, should be
the interpreters of intentions. That
these intentions be so expressed it is
first necessary to have them, and he
who possesses them makes them evil

need not be rich to give grace and
charm to his habit and his habltatiOn.

Of more interest to women than to

So much for the utility of luxury.

upon the question Of aeSthetics-oh,

plicity and beauty are considered as
rivals. But simple is not Synonymous

These same reflections might be ap-
piled to the fashion of decorating and
arranging orr houses. If there are toll
lets which reveal an entire conception
of life. hats that are poems, knots of
ribbon that are veritable works of art,
so there are interiors which after their
manner speak to the mind. Why, un-
der pretext of decorating our homes,
do we destroy that personal character
which always has such value? why
have our sleeping rooms conform to
those of hotels, our reception rooms to
waiting rooms, by making predoml-
nant uniform type of official beauty
What a pity to go through the
houses of city. the cities of country.
the countries of vast continent, ana
encounter everywhere certain forms
identical, inevitable, exasperating by
their repetition! How aesthetics would
gain by more simplicity Instead or
this luxury in job lots, all these deco
rations. pretentlous, but vapid from
iteration, we should have an Infinite
variety; happy improvisations would
strike our eyes, the unexpected in a
thousand forms would rejoice our
hearts. and we should rediscover the
secret of impressing on a drapery or
a piece of furniture that stamp of hu-
man personality which makes certain
antiques priceless. y
Let us pass at last to things simpler
still; mean the little details of house
keeping which many young people Of
our day find so unpOetical. Their con-
tempt for material things, for the hum
BILE cares a house demands, arises from
q confusion very common, but none the
less unfortunate which comes from
the belief that beauty and poetry are
within some things, while others lack
them; that some occupations are dis
tlnguished and agreeable. such as culti-
waiting letters, playing the harp. and
that others are menial and disagree
able, like backing shoes, sweeping and
watching the pot boil. Childish error!
Neither harp nor bnesm has anything
to do with it. All depends on the hand
in which they rest and the spirit that
moves it. Poetry is not in things; 1t
is in us. 1t must be impressed on OBJ
jectS from without, as the sculptor i'm
presses his dream on the marble. If
