When Should a Girl Marry.

Reason should govern marriage to
some degree, although it does not.
People in love do not reason. Here
Is where the parents or legal guardian
OF a girl can justify their Office by do
ing the thinking she is negleC ting for
dreaming-always a more pleasant pas
time to one in love-
1t is a sacrilege for an ignorant girl
Of Is to become a wife Even worse
for her to assume the obligations and
responsibility of motherhood. The av
erage girl Of Is is too young to marry,
immature In body and mind. Far bet
ter to walt than to risk the happiness
Of two lives.
Late marriages are usually made out
Of respect and friendship, the founda-
lions of love, but they miss the thrill
and passion of love itself Such mar
riages provide a home and cOngenial
companionship for the man and woman
who have outlived their first youth,
with its buried emotions and tender
memories, and makes for them a sort
Of Indian summer of happiness. The
ideal time of life for woman to marry
is from twenty to thirty-fve. For a
man, from twenty-five to forty-fve.
Society women do not marry young,
and who can find an 'old' woman of
thirty in society? They are plentiful
enough among the 10000, where women
marry at sixteen, seventeen and eight
cen, and settle down to humdrum ex-
istence filled with dishes to wash and
babies to care for.
Home ought not to be a dull place.
It ought to be the most interesting spot
in the world to the wife and mother.
But it is impossible for a girl who has
not attained her physical and mental
growth to grasp the true significance
and meaning Of the home or to bear its
burdens without deteriorating.
Some Of the happiest marriages are
those between persons over twenty-five
and under thirty-five. They have seen
life and met interesting people, they
are sure of themselves, and no "af-
fnity,'% were she equipped with mag
netic batteries from head to foot, could
separate them. They are married for
life.-Jessie NJ. partition.

The survivor of twins is sometimes
credited with curious powers. In folk
lore he takes his place with the sew
enth son and with the child born with
caul. All these are supposed to have
either special powers of healing or in
some cases to be gifted with the mys-
terious power Of second sight. "In
Essex, England" says w. G. Black in
his book on "Folk Medicine" ga child
known Familiarity as a left twin. e.,
a child who has survived its fellow
twins thought to have the power OF
curing the thrush by blowing three
times into the patients mouth If the
patient is of the opposite sex" This is
folklore, pure and simple. Another
country notion generally held is that
If twins are boy and girl the latter
will never become a mother. The
physiology Of the subject is obscure,
but there is probably ground for the
belief Another idea not infrequently
met with is that the intelligence Of
twins. is below the average. 1t is al
ways difficult to prove a negative, but
it Is very doubtful whether facts sup
port this notion Of limited intelligence
to any extent whatever. 1t Is much
more probable that their physical
strength is likely to be something less
than normal.

Embroidered vests of piQue and lin
en- promise to be a necessary adjunct
to summer suits.
AS the season progresses the rage
for crochet buttons as a trimming in
creases. Cretonne is also largely
used for waistcOats, hats, parasols,
collars and applied effects.
A sporty novelty in umbrellas which
promises to be popular presents balls
of solid leather, with a heavy chenille
fringe hanging from them. The balls
are fastened to the stick by solid leath
er straps.
Buttons are a most favored trim
ming. They are used not only upon
tailored gowns and summer frocks,
but upon the more elaborate evening
costumes. They are oft-times placed
the full length of the clinging skirt at
one side, In the center front or in the
center back. This line of buttons is

continuation of the button trim
ming upon the bodice portion, and is
one Of the little tricks employed to
give the much-desired Longtime eff
feet.
A dainty parasol is of dove gray
silk with embroidered orchids in the
space between each rib; some have
border of braided satin ribbon in two
contrasting shades along the outside
edge, whereas inside two ravishing ro-
settles, each repeating the color scheme,
are posed at a short space one from
the other.
Simple little pongee and tusore
frocks are ornamented with bits of
trimming of paisley design. Scarfs
are appearing with wide silk paisley
borders. Quite out of the ordinary was
pair of mules made from pieces of
an old paisley shawl, to accompany
''peignor" in changeable oriental chif-
fOn.
Long white tulie or feather boas can
be made up to date by cutting when
just long enough to encircle the neck
the ends tied In the back with a bow
of broad black velvet ribbon with long
fioppy loops and ends. The box-plait-
ed ruches of four layers Of box plaits
divided in half by an inch band of
ribbon to match the suit are very
fetching and becoming.
All the newest collars have ruffles
at the top and bottom. A pretty one
of plain linen has a fiuted ruffle also
of the linen an inch and a half wide
above, terminating I'm a V-shape, and
another ruffle twice this width fitting
over the blouse front and back. The
more elaborate dressy collars Of chif-
fOn have tulle ruffles, with loops of
baby ribbon set at regular intervals.
One of the prettiest fashions of
year Of pretty fashions is that of
threading the skirt of a frOck with
ribbons at flounce depth. Instead of
using the beading which was formerly
employed in carrying out this idea,
this present mode demands that ac
tual Sits be cut in the dress. These
are buttonhOled and the ribbon or vel
vet is then passed in and out. The
fullness of the skirt is drawn in to
suit the figure of the wearer, a result
which is the reason for discarding the
less troublesome beading. The ends OF
the ribbon are either tied at intervals
or are all topped at the left side.

ergy is wasted in talking" said the
vicar. IAN excessive tallzer is a human
vampire, who saps the vital energy Of
those about him. People silent by ma
ture seldom are i'll. A large percent
age of the victims of nervous disease
are great takers, who discuss imagin-
airy ailments until they get them"
DR.. Stensou Hooker supported the
vicar in a recommendation that one
room be set aside in each of the Lon
don hospitals for silent treatment.
Neither of the gallant speakers par
ticularly mentioned the talking pro-
clivities Of women in his argument
against garrulity.

Insomnia.

Insomnia is not the uncommon fate OF
the brainwOrker, who, after years or
continuous mental strain, retires from
active life. The real reason is that
mental activity demands a large supply
of blood for the brain, and the blood
vessels gradually accommodate them
selves to this large supply. But when
the hard work is over, the brain does
not always realize that it needs less
nourishment, and hence the condition
of excessive mental activity, which is
what insomnia is.-LOndOn Mail.

A Telephone Opiate.

The elders wife was seriously ill,
and the doctor advised rest and quiet.
But the lady was very devoted TO
church work and worried herself into
hysteria because she could not attend
services and hear her favorite pastor
preach.
"She must not leave the house. .
warned the doctor, "but you can easily
arrange to have her hear the sermon
by telephone"
The elder grasped the suggestion and
made the necessary arrangements for
transmitting the sermon into his wife's
room.
At noon on the Sabbath the doctor
called and asked, "How did it work."
'Fine," declared the elder, rubbing
his hands gleefully. Ten minutes aft
er the sermon began she fell sound
asleep" Philadelphia Ledger.

"isn't IT too hot for so much heat?
And don't we all know that in women

The Bud was appeased. "Of course

go and join the giddy throng outside.
I'll make time for you"
She waited an instant, and then,
lifting the flap of the tent door, held
the Diplomat in momentary CONVERSE
ton before he went in. Two seconds
later he reappeared.
''The Yellow Witch is net?" he an

There was q sudden rush into the
tent, and cries Of disappointment.
"And know I'd have found out

the Sharp Girl said, regretfully.
John Wilde strolled round the cor
ner, whats all this?" he asked, lazi-
". Then for a second his eyes met and
held those Of the Second Season Girl
The Diplomat was nothing If not OBJ
servant. A flicker Of intelligence was
suddenly born in his own eyes. Then
it as suddenly went out.
"Se!" he dropped quietly in Wilde's
ears.
Wilde gave him a quick glance, and
mathematical his own imprudence.
Don't tell" he implored, below his
breath.
"Now we shall never know who she
was" deplored the Freckled Girl.

He caught the eye Of the Second Sea-

I'm his own to suppose she had melted

only how to conceal them.

There was a blank silence.

'He knows" acquiescently unused the

'Of course But what?"
"And how?" she added.
1t was precisely on these points that
