MRS. GLYN PRAISES us.


 author of The Visits of Elizabeth ssThe vicissitudes of Evangeline" and saThree weeks.'' has the following to say of Americans:
 aThe distinguishing trait of ths American at home and abroad Is his good breeding, Americans have the badge of the fine breeding of centuries, generations to do for the breeding of an Individual what it takes twenty generations for in England. man may have an English costermonEer for an ancestor, and the costermonger comes to this country and his granddaughter has the same slim deiicacy of wrists and ankles as the duchess, descendant of many duchesses. It is amazing. Another trait that I notice after that first one is the wonderful alert ness-pf the American mind, It shows in attitudes and movements. and es- peciaiiy the wide-open expression of the eyes. Have you seen a terrier af- ter a rat? Then you know what that peculiar intentness is that so strikes me about an American. The quiver- Ing, wide-eyeds unacceptable little tery Tier Is to me a symbol of America"
 Then came the comparison which no Englishman or Englishwoman will rel- ish: .sThe American intelligence is as much superior to the English as your skyscrapers are higher than our shops in Piccadllly."
 AN AID TO RELAXATION.
 When you are resting. even if it's to be only a matter of few minutes. darken your room as completely as pos sible. Lying down throws your head in such a position that the lids of your eyes have absolutely no chance to Keep off rays of light and there Is A-n A&w ttx frf af1n bed should be placed in such way that you are forced to face the morn ing light and especially not so that the light will awaken you. Depend upon an alarm clock, for that If there's nobody willing to serve In that ca paeity. There must be nc strain upon any part of you if your rest is to be light has a great deal to do with the case Exchange.
 SOMETHING WRONG WITH HER. A writer in af exchange gives credit to a Busy Woman" for the foliowinS:
 There is something wrong with the woman who complains that she does not know what to do with herself. woman who hasn't anything to do is one who surely neglects something. It may be her home; 1t may be her hus- band; 1t may be her appearance. her children or her brains. It's sos,e- thing.
 Life is too busy or too various for anyone to be bored or iistless. IT you have all your sewing done, what about taking up some course of summer reads ing that will broaden your mind and enable you to converse more intelli- gently with those you meet next win- ter7 Oh, if you don't care for reading. why not take lessons In drawing or French or embroidery?
 If you want to be ultra practicai, you might take lesson in cleaning and curling feathers, as one woman know did. much to her own comfort A few lessons in millinery would be tnterest- ing and useful There are any num- Der of things a woman can do if she really wants to keep busy.
 sWhen you feel listless and as if life were deadly bore, ask yourself if you are well baianeed---is your health keep ing place with your appearance and your brainsf Are you all brains with a sloppy appearance and poor health?
 Are you all appearance with noth- ing original or bright to say ana an uncultivated brain. or are you fat and lazy from too much health and good living? Stand before the mirror and judge yourself. It is hard work keep ing perfectly balanced, but It pays, and 1t will keep any woman's time from hanging heavily on heH hands"
