HIS VAIN REGRETS
COULD HAVE ENJOYED GOOD
THINGS DENIED HIM.
Man Born with Keen Appreciation Of
the Refined and the Beautiful
Doubts Whether Gifts Were
Well Bestowed.

"As | look back. said man upon
whose head now quite some years
have fallen. my only regret is that l
was born with refined tastes. with an
appreciation Of the beautiful. with a
love for all things graceful ana good.
For l have not been so fixed that I
could satisfy these longings.
Now. II. SO to say, ! had been horn
rich as well as handsome it would
have been all right; but unfortunately
for me poverty was my lot. as far as
money Is concerned, and SO ! have
had high tastes and aspirations with
out the means of satisfying them; and
| think | might have enjoyed life
more II had been made Of coarser
clay.
you take, for instance. the matter
OF food. ! like good things to eat and
good cooking; and though am
naturally Of a tranquil temperament
and possessed always Of a good appe-
tite. yet food poorly cooked and poor
~ served always disturbs me greatly
-But on the other hand, do we not
find plenty OF people who rise from a
dinner however cooked and served
contented and happyg And ! often
wonder If 1t would not have been bet
ter for me if l had been born with
that disposition.
Take pictures. like good paint
ings. ana should be glad II could
adorn my house with such but as It is
my walls are bare, while those who
j fnd delight In simple chromos have
walls well filed. And would It not
have been better for me If my tastes
had run that way? And you take
works of art. like vases that would
cost sl.500 apiece, while many are sat
isfied with what they can get at the
five and ten. And would il not have
been better for me il had been like
them?
And l think l could enjoy motor
car, though | ride. perforce, In the
| peoples automobile And | know
should like yacht-and I'd be salts
fled with about a 45-foot sloop for a
starter-but have to ride ID steam
boat common to ALL And my clothes
get shiny. and wish had more
money for clothes.
IN fact there's a whole lot ol
things that I'd like 10 have and that
lTd much enjoy. but that can't have
for lack OF money, and SO as I look
back | sometimes wonder II it would
not have been better for me II had
been born with an appreciation less
keen for the beautiful And yet
don't know
"As a certain powerful writer once
remarked. It is better to be might
have-been than a never-was; and
/ don't know. after all. but what agree
with him; for ii is some pleasure q
me to think that could have enjoyed
these things il they had come my

This friend. thin and nervous

her physician and the man said:
do you eat anything just before
going to bed?"
"Oh, no, DOCTOR" the patient re-
piled.
Well" said the physician. ''just
keep a pitcher Of milk and some bis
cult beside you, and every night. the
last thing you do, make light meal"
But DOCTOR" cried the lady, "you
told me on no account to eat anything

was three months ago. Science has

Care of Curtains

When the curtains are taken down
for the summer too much care cannot
be expended upon them, for they are
not only difficult to replace, but they
are the most annoying things in the
world to make for the particular win
dows of the house.
The heavy ones should, of course,
be folded lengthwise in half and laid
fiat, particularly if they are of velvet
A very good idea is to first lay sheet
upon an unused bed upon this lay
the curtains, folded in half, inside out
one on top Of the other, and then cover
the whole with another sheet.
If they are going to be kept in the
storeroom, two chairs may be placed
back to back-though not too close
together-and the curtains may be
spread over them and covered with
sheet There will then be no insight
ly creases to mar them and they may
be rehung.
