"What are you doing here, Alma"
demanded Blake as he ran across his
little hostess in the conservatory.
Mrs. Thearle lifted a tear stained
face TO Blakes. In spite of her three
unhappy years as the wife OF Osmund
Thearle. who had obligingly drunk
himself to death in the third year and
left her with her youth and round
million of dollars, Alma still was pa

Rending the Sky.

Sometimes child in the very
simplicity of its thought will evolve
imagery that is language old. For
instance, there are few of us unfa-
milar with the expression, "The
lightnings rend the sky" but its
use in the mouth of a child would
be startling.
Yet a little boy ] know, who is
only four years old, watched an cleo
trio storm intently as its jagged
flashes ripped through dark clouds
and then, going to his mother, said
gravely:
Mamma, does it hurt the sky
when the Lightning tears it?"-New
York Times.

"Simce freedom came" Blake finished
for her. Thcarlc'S death had been a
matter of congratuIation to more than
his widow.

on. "Ihc count is a sort of star fea-

my magic" Blake said reminiscently.
Its hardly the thing for n ballroom,
but you might ask me to do a few
tricks"
"And borrow the bracelet Of the
count?" she asked hopefully.

THE ORIGIN OF WOMAN.
An Advance Upon the Old Time Rib
Theory.

IneoFys
The HindOOS say that Twashtri, the
Vulcan of Hindoo mythology. created
the world, but that when he had made
all other things and had come to the
creation of what was to be his chef
dOuvre he found to his annoyance
that he had run ont of materials. He
had not single chunk of solid mate
rial left With Il mental eXecration
upon his carelessness he fell into
profound meditation, the result of
which was the following formula, the
recipe for the creating of the sweet
cOnfection known as woman:
He took, according to the legend,
1.-The roundneSs of the moon. the undu
latlng curves of the serpent. the grace
full twist Of the creeping plant, the
light shivering of the grass blade and
the slenderneSs Of the willow, the vel
vety softness of the flowers. the light
ness of the feather, the gentle gaze Of
the doe, the frolicsOmeness of the sun
beam, the tears Of the cloud, the in
cOnstancy of the wind, the timidity of
the hare, the vanity of the peacock,
the hardness of the diamond, the cru
city of the tiger, the heat of the fire,
the chill Of the snow. the cackling OF
the parrot and the cooling of the turtle
dove"
He mixed these together in equal
proportions and the result was wOm-
an. Isn't that about as good guess
as any? After all, isn't this an ad-
vance upon the rib theory?

EVERYDAY HER0INEs.
Life 10 Made Up of Little Things, Not
Great.

Great.
The quicker we learn that life is
made up of little things. not great and
heroic deeds, the quicker We will ad-
Just ourselves to living 1t happily.
AS we grow older this lesson is grad
ually forced upon us, but we could be-
gin the adjusting much more quickly
and have a longer period of happiness
II as girls we would cease to dream
of being heroines and consent to be
ordinary, everyday mOrtals.
Most people go through life with
never a chance for spectacular hero
ism. What, then, must that life be
which is spent in day dreams OF how
one VIII act in some great crisis which
may never arise!
Do you know what will probably be
the result of those pleasing Visions
provided they have not been backed up
by doing as one goes alOng-an ignO-
miniOus fall down.
1t is little use to plan great sacri-
fees and neglect the small ones that
can be made each day If we but allow
ourselves to see them.
The young girl who dreams of the
time when she can open her veins to
give her lifebloOd to save mothers
life will probably fume over having
to leave an interesting novel to save
mother a wearisome trip to the store.
1t is the little thlngs-smiles. small
kindnesses, every day disagreeable
drudgery cheerfully done-that make
those around us far happier than If
we plan to do heroic deeds or even do
them, let us say. and spend the interim
with our eyes tight shut to the little
opportunities for quiet herOism all
around U.S.

Inyalid's Tray Table.

1t is often impossible for a sick
person to sit up in bed to eat from
the tray, and when this is the case,
it often is hard to put the tray in a
handy and yet comfortable position
for the invalid and in many cases the
person is SO weak it tires them to
support the tray on the lap. A table
for an invalid tray car be easily and
quickly made by anyone. Select a
small folding table, such as is used
for sewing, and stand it beside The
bed and saw off the legs on one end
Eve with the b~edspread. Move the
table across the bed until the uncut
legs stand close to the bed and the
shortened legs rest on the bed and
make the table firm. In this way the
table is in the most convenient posi-
ton, while it does not rest on the
person in bed or prevent the use OF
the limbs. Another handy table fol-
the invalid's use can be made from a
dolls table. Cut off all four legs sc
that they are only about eight inches
long. This table may be placed ovel
the covered legs of the patient with
the legs of the table resting on the
bed on each side. These tables may
be folded up and placed standing
against the wall of a closet when no
in use.-Boston Post.

There probably is a wrong side to
everything-except maybe the right
woman.
A new broom sweeps clean, but,
alas, it stays a new broom such a
little while.
Some women are such slaves to
dress they are willing to work for
their clothes.
Perhaps you can't help feeling en-
vious, but at least you can help show
ing it and so making yourself OBJ
noxious.
It is no direct evidence that you
are going to have unlimited com
pany because you have only scraps
for dinner. Still, you would better
have your weather eye out.
You can't always tell how much
money a woman spends by merely
knowing how much salary her .hus-
band draws, but taking it by and
large it's a pretty safe guess.
