LIFE IS A FAIRY TALE.
Everyday Occurrences Regarded In a
New Light.

New Light.
Some people claim that we ought
not to tell children fairy tales. Per
haps we ought not. But what else In
life is there? Isn't it fairy tale, this
living from day to day. this struggle
for fame and power and glory? Isn't
it a fairy tale to suppose that one
man has 1t within his power to be
happier than another? Could anybody
but a fairy bring peace to grownup
children who are wet with sweat of
work and worry?
Palaces there are in abundance
only they are not construed on the
fantastic lines of dreams. Goblins
are erywhere-and hobgoblins; i'm
aginary bean stalks to be climbed by
daring Jacks and giants to be slain
by giant killers. 1t is all fairyland
when you come to think about it
every good woman princess. every
tired shopgr lovely Cinderella; the
white steeds of ambition standing ca
parisoneG. ready to be- mounted by
knights and couriers; ships laden
with their wealth coming into silvery
ports from odorous oceans: caravan
saries with the fruit Of thousand
looms trailing across the plains to the
castles: meats in which flow molten
gold and drawbridges which one can
only cross by whispering the secret
word Success" 1t is all fairyland
Flowers bloom upon every wall, the
mystic music of the unseen muses.
seraphs bathing In the summer seas
cherubs romping through tangled
wilderness of blooms and blossoms
oh. 1t is a fairy world, all right, If II
is anything.

The Orioin of "Boz."

The origin Of Boz" Is known to most
readers interested In Dickens. A
younger brother of the novelist was
known in the family circle as Moses,
in facetious allusion to one Of the char
acters In the Vicar of Wakefield"
and this being pronounced In fun
through the nose became Bosses" aud
so Boz" which Dickens adopted as
his early pen name. Boz" he once
wrote. twas very familiar household
word to me long before | was an au
thor, and so | came to adopt it.
Before the real name Of Boz be-
came we'll known somebody invented
and circulated the following smart cpl
gram:
Who the Dickens Boz could be
Puzzled many a curious elf
Till time unveiled the mystery
And Boz" appeared as Dickens self.
Hood wrote punningly. but ingram
matically:
Aren't that ere Boz tiptop Teller?
Lots write well, but he writes Weller.

The room was entirely lighted by candles
with red shades and the decorations
were of asparagus fern and dark red car
nations. Miss Dorothea Clark stood at
the head of the stairs to show the guests
to the dressing rooms, and in the parlor
they were welcomed by Mr.. Mcleod,
Mr.. and Mrs. c. H. Stevens and Mr.. and

The Worry Habit,

The worry habit is one that grows
rapidly. The more 1t is INDUCED in
the stronger it becomes. When you
discover that you are its victim just
stop and consider: What do | gain by
It? If 80, what is the gain? What do
l lose by It? Health. strength, cheer
fulness. the power of helping others.
Whatever you do don't say. II can't
help it." The worry habit is easily
overcome If one Is determined.

THE NEW CORSET CLASP.
A Tongue or Clip Which Acts as a
Safety Guard.

An invention of interest to women
is the new corset clasp here shown.
which is designed to add much to the
comfort of the user. These clasps are
so shaped that when corset provided
with them Is fastened on the wearer
they incline slightly outward from
about the waist line to the top of the
corset. and because of this outward in
clination the steels cannot press un-
comfortably against the wearer. In
some makes of corsets this fault OF
inward pressure is so pronounced that
it causes real suffering. and the after
effects are sometimes serious. 1t fire.
