Others,

There are lots Of people who are con-
~stantly afraid of falling. You can see
them on stormy days, when the walks
are slippery, stepping along carefully,
and not daring to look to right or left
for fear they will loose their balance.
These same people find 1t most diff
cult to walk across a dimly lighted
room or across a field with which they
are not familiar.
And, in spite of the fact that they
have been the favorite sport of comic
Journals for many years, there ere lots
and lots of whose greatest fear
is Of finding a strange man in the
house. To whisper to them of burglars
Is 20 scare them "blue in the face"
1t seems to me that fear of any kind
should be respected If we know that
it's possessor has made honest but I'M
successful efforts to drive it away. To
be afraid of anything-what can be
worse?
And we should never. never, do the
least thing to frighten a child, lest the
fear seize him and stay with him for
the rest Of his life. MOLLIE.

CHOOSING TABLEcLoTHs.

In selecting tablecloths remember that
the heavier damask not only wears
longer than lighter fabrics, but does
not e or rumple. so easily. 1t also
hangs in better lines and is more easily
Numbered.
The first expense, therefore, should
not be considered. 1t is better to get
a good quality, even IL n must econo
mize in something else.
In buying table linen, watch the
salesI that is, II you are a good Judge
of materials, otherwise deal only with
ONE n o know and whose judg-
ment you q trust.

ropes of yellow satin tied in double
bowknots. The hat was small, being
one of the new toque styles, fashioned
of cream velvet and trimmed with
cream plumes and a band of yellow
velvet roses.

Miss wald emphasized the fact of the
Unborn prejudice against immigrants DAT

"If I e not so plain looking, I'd
go; but where's the use? Nc one both
ers with me, and I don't enjoy myself
watching other people ave a good
time" said a plain girl to a group of
others, n of whom had invited her to
a party. She had the idea that people
did not care for her because she was
not attractive looking, and nc amount
of coaxing could induce her to go.
And the fact of the matter is that
she is not half so plain to look at as
she is retiring n backward.
True, she is not pretty, neither is she
ugly, but she is too conscious of her
self. and it places her at a %disadvan-
tage.
The girl who thinks her looks are
u~nattractive can find many ways to add
to her popularity.
She can be sunny in her disposition
and kind to everybody, and people will
soon lose sight of the fact that she is
not pretty. They will be drawn to her
by her charming manner, and her
friends will soon wonder why they ever
thought her plain.
Being content with ones self, and not
laundering for the things beyond cne's
reach, goes a great ways toward add
ing to ones charm of manner.
"She Is so self-satisfled, every condi-
ton in her life seems to please her," a
woman once said Of q girl who could
not be called pretty, and whose path in
life was not strewn with roses, and as
might be expected, hat girl was happy,
and she made the people about her
happy, too.
We often hear people who are self
satisfied, criticised and called egotisti-
cal. But being ~self-satisied isn't a
bad trait at all when it helps to make
for happiness in more than one life.
If you are plain loiing don't be dis
oontented about 1t, and retire from your
friends because Of 1t. Rather cultivate
the lasting qualities which make peo-
pie sought after and which are Of far
more value than good looks.

Can you give me, through your valu-
able Question Box, any information as
to the care of a Boston fern? The
leaves on mine are turning brown and
the plant seems unhealthy.
A SATISFIED READER.
Perhaps you have been giving your
fern too much attention. 1t should be
kept in a light place, but not in sun
light, and should not be watered every
day. Every third day is enough, and
then wet it thoroughly. Once in two
weeks sprinkle the leaves and once a
month put a tablespoonful of olive oil
in the earth. Instead Of the oil you
might bury three or four raw oysters.
This should induce q healthy growth.
Please let me know as soon as pos

lightning.

] believe there is hardly a person
who is not haunted by a fear of some
kind or other. Sometimes it is so small
as to be ridiculous, and again 1t is
large enough to cast a shadow over his
peace of mind. s
Now, in regard to the fear Of light
ming. Some people try and try to over
come 1t, with burt little success. They
make up their minds that such fear is
ridiculous, and that If fate intends that
they shall be stricken by lightning they
will be stricken, whether they are
afraid or not, but just as soon as the
first mutterings of a thunderstorm are
heard their terror returns in full force.
l had occasion hast summer to stay
at a home where all of the family
were afraid of lightning. One day a
storm came up. and the girls locked
around their mother like scared sheep,
while she sat in their midst, trembling
and turning pale with every flash.
Someone suggested that feathers
warded off lightning. and in a second
the whole group ran upstairs and
crowded On the one feather bed in the
house. You might laugh at the idea,
but you would not have even smiled

What a wonderful thing is feari We
