Married Friends.

am persuaded that friendship is
the basis of true marHage-the man
and woman must be able TO get on to-
gether IN the serenity Of natural com
radeship without continuous rasp and
jar. They must possess toward each
other the plain and elemental quail
ties OF confidence, loyalty and tender
ness; they must hold the same views
concerning the meaning Of life; each
must desire nothing so much as the
welfare of the other; neither can have
aught which Is not at the disposal Of
the other. Love there must be, indeed,
but not love alone, for love is Of fiery
essence and often fails TO result in
happiness either for the lover or the
loved. There Is, believe, an Italian
proverb. Love is a dagger in the
heart. This could never Ne said Of
friendship. The very word itself Is
synonym of felicity. Many husbands
and wives, not without love, fail Of
amity and dwell in hell because they
are not, first Of all, friends. Friend
ship Is the warp and woof Of human
oneness; love is the dye and pattern
which makes the fabric Splendid

Health and Benuty Hints.

Keep your mind young by fresh, Wig
orous thinking, and your heart sound
by cultivating a cheerful, optimistic
disposition.
Don't live to eat, but eat to live.
Many of our ills are due to overeat-
ing. to eating the wrong things' and
to irregular eating
Don't be too ambitious; the canker
of an overvaulting ambition has eaten
up the happiness of many a life and
shortened its years.
Throw aside your dignity and romp
and play with the children; make
them love you by loving them, and
you will add years to your lire.
Keep busy; idleness is a great friend
of age, but an enemy OF youth. Regn-
lar employment and mental occupa-
tion are marvellous youth Dreservers
Pure air both indoors and outdoors
is absolutely essential to health and
longevity. Never allow yourself to re-
main in a poisoned or yitiated atmos-
phere.
Put some beauty into your life every
day by seeing beautiful works Of art
beautiful bits Of scenery, or by read
ing some noble poem or selection in
prose
Don't let anything interfere with
your regular hours Of work and rest,
but get plenty of sleep, especially what
is called beauty sleep" before mid
night
Never compare yourself with others
of the same age or think that you
must appear as old as they because
you have marked the same number
of years
Take regular exercise in the open
air every day in all weathers; walk,
ride, row, swim or play; but what
ever you do, keep out of doors as
much as possible.

THE FAT MAN.
sleeps Better and Is More Cheerful
Than Lean Brother.

sleeps Better and Is More Cheerful
Than Lean Brother.
Despite the fact that julius Caesar,
through his authoritative spokesman,
Shakespeare, expressed a preference
for men Of flesh, "sleek-headed men,
and such as sleep O. nights" succeed
ing degenerate ages have shown a dis
position to admire the lean and poke
fun at the fat man.
Women are not to be considered.
Forever inscrutable, while the prevail
ing fashion of their dress would seem
to indicate their admiration Of slen-
derness in their own sex, it by no
means follows that they are attracted
to the bean-pole type of man. SINH
larly, when sex is considered, man
himself is of various taste; a Turkish
woman who is not absolutely fat is a
Turkish woman destitute of charm.
The subject is broad one, with many
and historical aspects, from the time
when Peshurun, as we read in Deuter-
onomy, "waxed fat and kicked"
Just now it is given a serious and
very interesting discussion by DR..
George M. Niles, in the Journal of the
American Medical Association. Every
one is aware of the value of fat as a
source of energy for the development
Of heat That phase Of the fat mans
condition may be passed by Another
one :. of larger Importance. Says Dr..
Niles:
"It has been commonly known from
the earliest antiquity that fat people
are more contented more optimistic,
than lean ones and that their view
point of life in general is largely gov
erned by this prosaic attribute Now,
might compare the supply Of fat to the
ample bank account of a busy and
provident man. That he possesses this
surplus does not prevent him from
diligently following his lusual avoca-
tion (sic), but the knowledge of its
presence lends a mental satisfaction
that would be absent were he living
right up to his daily income"
This may be true; who can say? 1t
is so easy to generalize and, as mat
ter of fact, so impossible to be certain
about such things. One might particu-
larize through a column or two and
arrive at no definite conclusion. Napo-
leon was a fat little man and infinitely
greater than the lean Wellington; Dr.
Johnson and Gibbon we're grossly fat,
but Emerson and Carlyle we're bare to
the bone And so forth.
One thing, at least, seems clear; the
fat man may not be as spry on his
feet as his lean brother; he may not,
as a rule, be as agile of mind, but he
eats a better meal and enjoys
sounder sleep. He is more cheerful
his laugh is heartier. In fact, some
of him have laughed and grown fat.
And then, again and finally, 1t is prob
ably easier to be fat and get lean than
to be lean and get fat.-Philadelphia
Press.

One of the fads that has cropped
out with the settled habit of after
noon tea drinking is the serving OF
colored bonbons with the tea in place
of cube sugar Some women make
these bonbons, coloring them to suit
the fitting of the table and hayorinG
them with lemon or orange. Rock
candy is also used for this purpose
Lemon and tea are said to clear the
complexion, but if one is very tired
the tea should be drunk clear or with
little milk and very slowly. If one
ever noticed the epicurean comfort OF
an old tea drinker with a hot cup OF
tea one must have observed with what
deliberation the tea was taken 1t is
a fault with many housewives to let
the tea stand too long after the wa
ter goes on before serving. Seven
minutes is the prescribed limit of any
brand, and less than five is better
with all kinds. For a second cup,
where teapot is for the first sery-
Ice, a tea ball or perforated teamak-

Il is a very poor plan to economize
on the lining of a dress, either in
money or the care with which It is
made.
The foundations for marking initials
are great time savers and look quite as
well as those filled by hand. They also
launder successfully.
Pretty penwipers are made of bits Of
write gloves, cut out in wild rose
shape, and embroidered in the center
in tiny stitches and yellow French
knots.
II a yoke is not desired on the back
Of a waist it is always advisable to
put one Of muslin across the shoulders,
on the inside; the waist wears much
better, for the strain is lessened.
A clever little sewing apron is OF
linen with three pockets, bee en-
broidered on each one, and the very
appropriate sentence done in outline
stitch-"How doth the little busy bee
improve each shining hour"
The best and most convenient tape
and ribbon runner has an oblong slit
through which to slip the ribbon, and
a tiny point below the opening holds
the ribbon, preventing it from either
twisting or slipping off the needle.
Tucked shirt-waists are much more
satisfactory in appearance and fit If
the tucking is done before the waist is
cut out. Tuck a long strip for the two
fronts; in this way they are sure to be
alike, without so much troublesome
measuring.

But slowly as he looked a curious
change came over him, She was the
same Nan Bryerson, baroheaded, bare
legged, with the same tousled mat OF
dark hair, and the same childish in
difference 10 a whole froek. And yet
she was not the same. The subtle dlf-
ference, whatever II was made him get
up and offer TO shake hands with her
and he thought It was the newly -mado
vows constraining him. and took cred
Il therefor.
you can revile me as much as you
like now, Nan" he said. with prideful
humility. You can't make me med
any more like you used TO. I'm older
now, and-and better I hope l shall
never forget that you have a precious
soul to save"
Her response to this was a scoiIlng
laugh shrill and challenging. Yet he
could not help thinking that II made
her look prettier than before.
you can laugh as much as you want
to; but l mean t." he insisted. And,
besides, Nan-of all the things that
I've been wanting to come back to,
you're the only one that isn't changed"
And again he thought II was righteous
guile that was making him kind to her,
Dye reckon you shorely mean that,
Tom Gordon?" she said; and the lips
which lent themselves 50 easily 20
scorn were tremulous. She was just
his age, and womanhood was only a
step across the threshold for her
"Of course do. Let me carry your
bucket for YOU"
She had hung the little wooden pig

it was full and running over. But
when he had lifted It out for her, she
rlnsed and emptied H.
Il just set It there TO cool some," she
explained. I'm goln' up to Sunday
Rock afte' huckleberrles. Come and
go long with me, Tom"
He assented with a willingness as
eager as II was unaccountable. II she
had asked him to do a much less rea-
sonable thing, he was not sure that he
could have refused.
And as they went together through
the wood, spicy with the June fra
grances, questions like those Of the
boyhood time thronged on him, and he
welcomed them as a return Of at least
one Of the vanished thrills-and was
grateful to her.
When they were fairly under tho
overhanging cliff face OF Sunday Rock,
she darted away, laughing at him over
her shoulder and daring him to follow
her along a dizzy shelf halfway up
the crag; a narrow ledge, perilous for
mountain goat
This, as he remembered later, was
the turning point in her mood. In i'm
agination he saw her try it and fail;
saw her 1.-THE, shapely beauty lying
broken and mangled at the cliffs foot;
and in three bounds he had her fast
locked in his restraining arms. She
strove with him at first like a wres-
Ting boy, laughing and taunting him
with being afraid for himself. Then
Tom Gordon, hearted as yet,
did not know precisely what happened
Suddenly she stopped struggling and
lay painting in his arms, and quite as
suddenly he released her.
Mani" he said, in a swiftly sub
merging wave of tenderness, II didn't
go to hurt you!"
She sank down on a stone at mis-
feet and covered her face with her
hands. But she was up again and
turning from him with eyes downcast
before he could comfort her.
