been saved to sprinkle upon the win

she fed the birds and then wrote the
poem, Feeding the Sparrows.
Mountain Clouds" is a fair sample of
her verse in those grinding, over
wrought years of her life, with the
same sad theme always uppermost in
her mind. Mountain Clouds" begins:
The clouds hang low on the mountains,
Low on the breast Of the mountains,
Low on my heart on the mountains,
Heavy with weight of rains.
AS the eyes of millions of toilers
Are heavy with tears Of want.
Still the girl herself was not unhappy,
because she says, ct am never unhappy

to a Jewish paper They were pub

editor of another Jewish paper. At

no fixed home, but goes where she can
do best for herself or do others best.
Well, Of course, you could say that she
is merely a parasite. Yes, but how
many people succeed IN keeping up the
parasite game on that narrow margin
for five years in little old, prosaic New
York;
It reminds me of an insurance agent
too lazy to make money at the game
who moved from boarding house to
boarding house, insuring the landIady
of each and taking out the commission
in board And even that he did only
because he was too lazy to commit sui
eide.
By the way, speaking of commissions,
do you know what percentage Of people
make an actual living at this sort of
thing? They spend their time dispos-
ing OF old watches, old jewelry, old
clothes, old furniture and in buying
new things or letting a friend use their
charge account or in booming a new
enterprise. In fact, there is no limit to
the things and enterprises that may be
worked on the commission plan.

EVERY one SHOULD SING.

A writer or singing says: AT the
present era, when physical culture is a
part of the curriculum Of our most in
tellectual schools and is so generally
regarded as a necessary element toward
supplying and maintaining the sound
body for the sound mind, it is worth
while to consider a recent statement OF
eminent physicians that the mere exer-
else Of singing is a great help toward
the prevention, cure or amelioration Of
lung diseases.
ct was disclosed by statistics in Italy
some years ago that vocal artists are
usually long lived and that brass in
strument players, who bring their lungs
and chest into unusual activity, have
not had consumptive victims among
them. No matter how thin or weak the
voice, young people should be encour-
aged to indulge in song. There could
be no happier medicine, and If hearers
sometimes suffer they should be en-
couraged to bear the infection in view
Of the good it may do"

THE ARTIST WHO DID NOT DE-
cDAqE

The great mistake that people make
when they try In a cowardly way to
avoid disappointment by never hoping
is that they identity disappointment
with despair. It is not the same thing
at all with a reasonable and courageous
person.
A now. popular artist, then an un-
known man, was painting a picture for
the Royal academy. He was certain it
would be a success, and he did not dis
guise his hopes respecting it. It was
rejected. A brother artist Of the dis
NAL type suggested that two of his
friends should ego round" to see the
unfortunate man.
HE is sure to be so miserable. He has
INDUCED in such foolish anticipations, .
said the other artist.
Instead of finding him so they discov-
cred him busily occupied in scheming
a fresh picture of which he had greater
hopes than he had INDUCED Of the 9TH
er. His hopes were realized too.

A toque shape. a French sailor shape
and a shape that is straight in front
and bent down to the hair in the back
ought to make a smart summer MILL
merry assortment. The straight shape
can be trimmed with two ostrich
plumes, and one side can be bent up If
desired; even both sides may be tackled
UP on the crown, allowing the feathers
to pass under. Perhaps the most prao-
teal way to trim a French sailor hat is
to make a ruche of soft ribbon stitched
on stiff band and to pin this around
the hat Different ruches may be made
to go with different wash frocks and

It Is strange that dressmakers rarely

Why viii a dressmaker make q

sailor for instance, and see how often

crown may be varied by the addition Of
buckram; the trimming may be any
thing from a detachable wreath of
bowers to a couple of ostrich plumes.
The hat, if built on the right lines and
in proper proportion to your face, will
be a joy forever. In the winter you
can cover it with strips Of velvet or
