He stumbled to his little room;

In tender yearning following him.

But woke him not since he was soothed,
And there beside his little bed

Sorry and punished for the past,

CARE OF cHIEDREN's HAIR.


At bedtime little girls hair should
be loosened and shaken out-in order
that the air may pass through it-and
afterward be carefully combed and
brushed. If the hair is worn plated
during the day 1t should be simply tied
together during the sleeping hours, but
if the locks have hung loose all day 1t
is good for them to be loosely braided
at night.
Each child should possess a brush
and comb of its own, which must be
kept serupulously clean and washed
frequently in warm water to which a
little ammonia Or lump of washing
soda has been added.
Some children catch cold very easily
after having their hair washed. In or
der to dry it quickly and prevent this,
use for the final rfnsing quite hot water
to- which few drops of alcohol have
been added Then rub the hair we'll
with alcohol and wiring it out as dry
as possible.
Next, take two or three towels, divide
the hair and wipe each strand separate
ly Let the child sit in a warm room
or, if possible. in the sun, fan the hair
for a few minutes and it will soon be
perfectly dry.

heey dislil1ed for the same cause. Mod
ern fashion gives a very wide choice
regarding color, but we all love to see
a young and pretty bride clad in soft
white raiment, do we not?
Regarding Jewels, many brides re-
fuse to wear anything but the engage
ment ring, a decision which is to be
commended. Opals are said to bring
bad luck, and French brides never
wear pearls, as, they consider them 70
be the emblem of tears.
In Scotland New Years eve is a ia
vorite wedding day among the country
folk, and Irish Molly choose Shroye
Tuesday for that happiest of days.
English brides are warned that ito
marry between the sickle and the
scythe will never thrive and the
month of May and during Lent and
advent are unpopular seasons.
A bride naturally wishes for bright,
stinshiny wedding day-''Happy is the
bride that the sun shines on" There
fore, we are told that in order to gain
her wish she must be watchful never
to ill use cats, for if she does SO she
will not only have a wet and stormy
wedding day, but ill fortune and sick
ness will follow.
Sunday is a favorite day for rural
weddings in England. and. the after
noon of that day is not a time of rest
for the pastor of a village church, es-
pecially during the summer
In Wales it is said to be an evil omen
if the bride stumbles going into church,
and to insure good luck ever after the
bridegroom is advised to carry to
church horseshoe in his pocket. The
fashionable man who dislikes bullying
pockets, may omit this precaution and
must face the consequences.
Years ago it was considered the pro-
per thing for the bride to- cry This
can scarcely be understood, If she is
wedding the "only man in the world for
her"
In some out of the way districts the
people say that the best time for a
wedding. is when the moon is young,
and in many parts marriage which
takes place with a waning moon is re-
garded with sorrow.
