The Country Life Delusion
BY EUGENE WOOD.

The editorial writer's of the great
metropolitan dailies, who have
plumbed the depths of every mystery
and from whom no secrets are hid,
cannot conceal their ~vexation at be-
ing unable to say why people will
persist in being such awful fools as
to prefer existence in six rooms and
a bath in the crowded, unwholesome
city to living-really living, don't
you understand-out in the country
where you can get fresh air and fresh
eggs, out where the birds and the
northwest winds whistle, and the
children have room to play and no.
body to play with, while they Irvine
them wreatns of clover blossoms and
poison ivy and get as brown as a
berry. BY the way, what sort Of ber-
ries are those brown berries you hear
so much about? B~lackberries and
blueberries I know, and strawberries
are red, and most every kind of
berry is green at the start, and there's
a front yard bush that bears white
berries, but what for kind of berry is
brown?
In the spring and summer, in addi-
ton to these editorials bewailing the
clotted folly of the human race in
wanting to live in town, are letters
from reclaimed sinners who have seen
the error Of their ways and now have
little places Of their own (subject to
a first and second mortgage and a
mechanics lien) out in the country,
where life is n grand, sweet song.
Though meat and vegetables and
groceries and clothing and. a few
other little things are somewhat high
er than in town, and you cannot keep
help except at the muzzle of a shot
gun, you can live so much more hap
PLY and inexpensively. Why will
folks be so blind to their own best IT,
terests? Come on in, the waters

around the room were eXquis.tely

for ornamentation and fantastic con-
ceptions that breathed the soul Of an
artist.
Paul was pleased to see me again,
for they both remembered I had been
instrumental in helping them get ma
terial for their first successful model.
In after years 1 often heard Louis
and Paul spoken of, and always in
terms of respect and admiration.
And so 1 might endlessly go on re-
calling stories from the book of life,
but I once heard my literary friend
say it was not so much what you
wrote as what you didn't write that
made a story.-Boston Post.

New Rugs From Old Carpets.

Our upper hall is a passage hall In
antique oak with green and brown
burlap. The carpet on the stairs
leading to it Is brown, old yellow and
green. In recarpeting the hall 1t was
our wish to use the same carpet as
on the stairs, but when we wanted to
order it we found that the design
was no longer ON the loom and thai
1t was impossible to get any more oil
it. Nothing else seemed to match In
color or design and we were sadly
perplexed.
AT last a thought came to us. We
gathered together the Wilton and vel.
vet carpets that were so worn and
faded from their latest service in the,
laundry that the storage attic
wouldn't take them In. Even the
rag mar wouldn't pay his customary
cents for them. These we sent to .
rug company to have two new rugi
made of them in sizes of two and
one-half feet by fourteen feet and
two and one-half feet. by five feet
These firms any old carpet,
you may have into durable rugs and
are highly to be commended. When
u old, faded, worn out, dirty rugs
were returned to us we found then
transformed into two beautiful rugt
Of softest color. They were wover
as a filler and contained grays, vel.
lows, light browns and an old French
blue. They cost just Sc.

sells r preferable. If you have any
old carpets about the house do not
be ashamed of them and, throw them
away. Keep them until you need a
new rug. It is also well to tell the
weaver that you want a blended color
effect and what the predominating
tone should be. Then, If your car.
pets do not have the requisite colors
the weaver can add the color in new
materials at a cost of eight cents q

That Famous Swim.

"It is a very dangerous thing. I
have found, to tell stories to the pres
ent younger generation" a Sunday
school teacher recently remarked.
Now, I have always been fond of
illustrating the Gospel lessons with
little stories which helped to point
the moral, and a ~favorite with me was
one of a young Roman athlete who
used 10 swim the Tiber three times
every morning. This generally made
a hit with the boys in my class, but
one Sunday a new lad with Irish eyes
appeared, and at the conclusion of
this story he snickered audibly.
"'You seem to think that this story
is rather funny, Patrick I remarked,
severely; will you tell us in what re-
spect?'
Seems like he might have made
one more. trip and got his clothes,
Miss he replied with a cheerful
grin."-Bohemian Magazine.

Popular Mechanics in an illustrated

built of concrete blocks, is 239 feet
long by 169 feet wide, and contains
6G1 enamel finished dressing rooms
and a warm plunge or swimming
tank $50 feet long by 100 wide. The
tank ranges in depth from three and
a half feet to twelve feet. and its
sides and bottom are of solid cement
three feet thick. 1t holds 100000
gallons Of water, and is emptied and
reilled twice each week. In addition
to this tank the bathers have the
ocean surf, which rolls up on the
beach just outside the pavilion"

Photograph Frames.

The latest frames for photographs
from Paris have a light blue mat
which makes an attractive setting for
a picture. A Trainer can easily dupli-
cate one, as the colored mat is really
the thing and can be chosen to match
or contrast with any room. One
often does well to supply their own
mat when having pictures framed,
for certain rooms, especially If tap
estry is used. Many picture shops
can furnish handsome silk or cloth
mats, and it is cheaper to use these
and quite as satisfactory, as one must
purchase so small a piece for one
picture.-New York Evening Post.
