When the skies are blue and tender.
And the little binds are building.
And the buttercupss and sunbeams
Far and wide the aelds are gliding.
And the hollo vs. every morning
With q peariy mist are brimming.
Then I feel a constant yearning
To go swimming.
When tree-toads pipe their music.
In the green and marshy places.
And the bumbie-bees are booming.
And the spiders spread their laces
And the boys their willow whistles
After school are busy trimming.
Then the waters calls and calls me.
To go swimming.
Shelving beaches strewn with pebbles.
Rippled reaches bright and sunny.
Amber pools. and crystal currents.
Deep and clear and smooth as honey,
Bubbles on the shallow dancing.
Silver from the eddieS trimming.
Brook and river then invite you
To go swimming.

The art of housekeeping is
one which deserves special men
ton.
In Germany the daughters of
the finest families are sent to
someone who is competent, and
who teaches them the art of
housewifery; and a girl would be
ashamed to be married if she
was not a good housekeeper.
housekeeping ranks as a pro-
fession as truly as any other
occupation.
There is far greater demand
for women who understand
housekeeping than for those
who are advanced in the art of
dancing.
Domestic economy should be
studied by all women.
Clean and sanitary houses,
healthful meals, system in house
work, and an attractive and
cheerful home can do more to
promote good health than any

The front yard fence 10 = famous
council place on pleasant days. Maybe
to chat with some one along the street,
or for friendly gossip with next door
neighbor. Sometimes it is only small
talk but other times neighbor has
something really good to offer.
An old resident Of Baird, Texas, get
some mighty good advice this way
once.
He says:
Drinking coffee left me nearly dead
with dyspepsia. kidney disease and
bowel trouble, with constant pains in
my stomach, back and side. and 20
weak could scarcely walk.
"One day was chatting with one oe
my neighbors about my trouble and
told her l believed coffee hurt me.
Neighbor said she knew lots of people
to whom coffee was poison and she
pleaded with me to quit it and give
Postum q trial. I did not take her
advice right away but tried 4 change
of climate, which did not do me sny
good. Then l dropped coffee and took
up Postum.
MY improvement began immediate.
" and got better every day I used
Postum.
My bowels became regular in two
weeks, all my pains were gone. Now
am we'll and strong and can eat any
thing want to without distress. All
OF this is due to my having quit cof-
fee. and to the use of Postum regu.
larly.
my son who was troubled with indi-
gestion thought that II Postum helped
me 80. it might help him. 1t did, too,
and he is now well and strong again.

June-the month allotted to brides

lar season of the year. as 1t brings to
many the fulfillment Of hearts desires.
II 10 said-by whom no one seems to
know-that u the day chosen by .
girl for her wedding proves to be
rainy that her life will be nlled with
more sorrow than Joy. Be that as it
may. one of the very happiest OF mar
riages was made on Friday, on the
18th day of the month and at the hour
set for the ceremony there was a most
terrific thunderstorm. In spite of the
fact that for years Saturday was con-
sidered the most unlucky Of wedding
days. Of late 1t has been chosen by
brides Of even international fame.

should meet 4 funeral procession the
driver must be instructed to turn some
other way. II he does not. fate de-
csees that the bride will soon die.
To avoid the possibility Of any bad
luck on her wedding day. the bride
elect should not offer to assist in
washing or wiping the family dishes.

to break bit Of china 1t would be an
exceedingly evil omen-the old record
does not say what. but 1t would be
prudent not to tempt fate.

choose for her going-away gown if she
wishes to wear what for ages has been
considered the proper thing to insure
good luck. Perhaps that 10 the reason
that there IL always . steady demand
for this color.

superstitions and customs. and the pub
lie thinks it IL acquiring something

every one has fogotten all about them.

supper the girl who gets the longest
piece will be the first one to marry.
Maidens who are anxious to leave the
state Of single blessedness should

some bits Of cake are cut longer than
the others.
Fate was certainly kind when she
decreed that for bride to shed tears
on her wedding was . good omen. for
1t would take q pretty stoical young
