HOUSEHOLD HELPS E;
Bridal Superstitions.

There is one time in her life when
every girl, no matter how practical
she may be as a rule, cannot help per-
rlitting herself to be swayed by few
superstitious considerations, and that
is on her wedding day. She would
not think of falling upstairs that
morning for fear her bridegroom
should play her false and she be COM
PEELED to remain single for another
year.
If she gets up to find the sky over
cast or the streets full of deep splash
ing puddles when she is looking for
ward to noon wedding, then indeed
do her spirits sink, for she knows that
only that bride is fated to be happy
uron whom the sun shines.
She has heard that the bride who
sheds tears during the ceremony may
look forward to a long life Of happi-
ness, and yet when the time comes
she is afraid to lose her self-control
for fear she should stop the service.
AS to her wedding attire, all her
relatives and friends have long been
Installing into her mind what She
must be sure to wear:
Something old and something new,
Something borrowed and something
blue"
and SO she borrows a handkerchief
from her sister, fastens blue garter
just below her knee and comforts her
self that her slippers are really old
because she has been "breaking them
| in in the privacy of her boudoir dur
ing the past week.
| She knows that if she would enjoy
undivided happiness she must never
try on her wedding gown in its en-
tirety until the day upon which she
is to be married, and that her pros
pective husband should not be per-
mitted to see her that day until he
meets her at the altar.
f, Up until lately green has been looked
| upon as an emblem of bad luck, but
this spring quite a number of green
weddings will be noticed. The decora-
| tions will be entirely Of this colcr and
| the bridesmaids dresses, if not en-
| tirc!y of it, will at least have en-
broidcries or trimmings of green

People never use harsh physic after
they know what it does.
That gripping and pain are symptoms
that the bowels are irritated.
You have come to think, perhaps, that
such effects are necessary, else you
would never endure them.
But they are not; they are wicked.
That irritation Of the stomach is the
cause of nearly all dyspepsia.
That irritation of the bowels-causing
the lining to callous-is the cause
of constipation.
Cascarets bring the same results with
out injury.
They never gripe-never pain. They
are as harmless as laxative foods.
Salts and pill cathartics increase the
trouble that you seek to cure.

The new cretonnes and summer
hangings show riot of color on well

richly colored flowers being massed al
most in the design. '"The flower gar
