WAS ever such tufted carpet spread beneath
hesitating foot Even now, along the lichendappled
walls upon the summit the lingering strip of
snow gritty and speckled and at it's very edge hid
ing beneath the covering OF leaves those modest
little faces looking out at me; faces which to
blush deeper pink at their rude discoverer. No
other flower can breathe the perfume Of the arbutus
that earthly, spicy fragrance, which seems as though
distilled from the very leaf-mold at it's roots"
This beautiful rhapsody be appreciated by
those who have sought these charming clusters of
baby pink-and-white with each recurring spring
About the rocky wooden slopes of the hills which
border the Potomac whole troops of laughing liver
the fragrant columbne; and they enjoy the fun
themselves, for their bOnny faces dimpling with
sheer merriment. Whole clumps of woodland are
blushing and laughing with the colors of the cheeks
OF liverwort and coumbne; the latter better known
honeysuckle. Along the craggy ridges there is
this vine, dropping from the many crevices If each
flower We're posed by artist it could not be more
attractive. The foliage is delicatey and so clear
ly cut that thinks, enjoys and wonders what is
the power and whence the power to bring
about these marves and miracles which are repeat

Some writer's wonder if Sheila ever gathered
heather! They call it heather beyond the sea.
There was an Irish-Amercan editor whom the
news gatherers regarded the coolest chest
least sentimental man that "came over" But
day in spring he carried little package in his
hand and misty look in his eyes while his voice
was tremuous when he answered an inquiry by say
ing:
It's heather have; just bit of heather for the
hood to me- when the purple heather darkened each
moor; when Sheila wept and when we celebrated
for Saint Patrick and all were merry in the home
land"

~ T. Patricks Day ushers in the spring time of the
- calendar although the weather of spring does
- not come at the time to ali of the borders
and community centers of the world
Patricius, the sainted, is celebrated in songs
stories and legends in every portion OF the civilized
world; but in no place more enthusiastically than in
Washington where many of the OF the Emer-
aid Isle have their abode, and where numerous
young of Irish descent in attendance upon
the Catholic university.
On st. Patricks Day many thousands of the
ployes OF the government wear leaves, leaflets and
sprigs of green while in the stores on the streets
and the avenues many thousands of ladies well
gentlemen are seen wearing of the green Count

1t is strange that little is generally known con-
corning Sheila Sheilas Day. Do you know any
thing about her? Or, did you ever hear about her.
her special day of celebration? Did you know
that Shea's Day follows ST. Patrick's Day? Did
the Santed Patrick? Well the folklore of the
Emerald Isle contains the story. The great library
OF congress contains many stories and books and
tones about st. Patrick and Sheila. They have been
analysed and compiled by Louis Megaree, in little
brochure; and to that analysis the writer is much
of the stories explains the customary downpouring
of rain following ST. Patr;cks Day.
1t is aheged that Sheila wept all day long on the
day following st. Patrck's Day. because the Patron
Saint of Ireland gave himself up to the too hearty
enjoyment of feryent liquors. and this accounts for
the spittings of and the weeping of the rain

HAIR REM0VERS
Are DANGEROUS
Physicians Say: "Don't Use Poison
Gus DepiIatories."

The extravagant claims recently made
by INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers of hair
removers in sensational advertisements
unqueStionably justify physicians in eau
tioning the public against the use of this
class of depiatories. How many people
have been enticed into using these dan
sercos preparations with consequent in
jury to themselves, cannot be estimated
but onIf guessed at. The preparations
above referred to are invariably in the
form or creamy paStes, which are to be
spread upon the skin to remain until they
dry. These contain Sulphide of Barium,
an lnsoluble chemical, which cannot be
dissolved, therefore cannot be absorbed
by the skin. The very fact that you are
told to leave these pasty compounds on
the skin until they dry and cake and then
lift off with a knife Is proof positive that
they are not absorbed If they are, why
do they still remain on the skin? The
most they can possibly do is to remove
the surface hair. which in consequence
will reappear stronger and thicker after
each removal.
There is only one logical and scientific
way to remove hair, and that is by means
of a liquid containing soluble ingredients
which can be absorbed by the skin. De
Miracle, known all the world over as the
| only real superfluous hair remover, is just
quickly absorbed and after you have
used it you will note there is nothing left
| on the skin. 1t leaves the skin free from
irritation. and what is more to the point
| 1t is absolutely non-poisonOus, therefore
| it viii not produce eczema or blood pois-
| oning. Remember no matter what claims
. are made to the contrary, no poisonous,
pasty compound or other worthless con-
| coctlon can reach the hair root and we
can prove it.
| Beware of the fake free advertisers and
others. Don't be deceived by them. Bet
ter take doctors advice. De Miracle is
sold by Bowditch. Webster & CO. we
will send you 52-page booklet containing
full information concerning this re-
markable treatment, as well as testimon-
ials of prominent physicians surgeons,
dermatologists. medical journals and the
principal magazines. You should read
