Lack of Imagination In Children

ONE OF the saddest signs Of tho
times is the decay Of imagination
in children. lamentable feature OF
our complex social life for some time
has been the craving for expensive and
artificial pleasures. and this sign of ef-
fete mentality is appearing now even
in children.
Children are no longer willing to en-
Joy simple pleasures. and It is not
difficult TO account for the reason, for
by inheritance they have come into a
veritable kingdom OF wants. Motors,
expensive dresses. trips abroad an in
ordinate desire for variety in attire and
elaborate food are All part Of the
regime which we live in, according as
our means permit
The children Of today are having
handed down to them theories OF life
that depend upon money 10 make them
happy to an extent that is terrible to
contemplate. If the mother who gives
her child elaborate and costly toys
would only look ahead she would save
her innocent little one much trouble OF

NJ Il Is quite amusing 10 go about the
smart millinery shops and gather
up inside "tips" concerning the
n seasons styles. One artist will
conhdentially tell you that "the hats
displayed in the general showrooms,
the big, eccentric models. are not our
best hats, but are merely put out to
catch the attention of the crowd. Small
hats are the shapes we are showing
our exclusive patrons" And another
head milliner" will just as confidently
inform you that there is a wide di-
versity in styles. High and low crowns
hobnob together, and picture hats are
seen side by side with fantastic turban
shapes or the inverted bowl creation"
Millinery doctors disagree quite as
positively as do the sons of Esculapius.
AS a matter of fact. big hats. little
hats, hats of all periods. hats of all ma
terials, hats of many shapes-all these
are included in the new creations. and
everything points to a season Of va
.riety, originality and charm in the hat
world. While the turban cap of orr
entail swathings and the toque are hav-
ing things very much their own way.
the large round brimmed chapeau is
not being ignored. There are many

wear a big shape. and these will be
satisfied in the present melange as well
as the woman whois tired OF the in
convenient shapes and wishes some
thing more comfortable.
But most of the new models are fas-
cinating, those turned up sharply at
the side or back being usually becom-
ing and a decided contrast to the peach
basket of last spring. We have, though,
with us the close fitting bowl shape.
It is trying, but where it can be worn
is absurdly fetching. The new shape

HosU to Make
Better Cough Syrup than
You Can Buy
A Family Supply, Saving "a and
Fully Guaranteed.

A full pint Of cough syrup-as much
as you could buy for $z.50-can easily
be made at home, You will find nothing
that takes hold of an obstinate cough
moro quickly, usually ending 1t inside
of "a hours. Excellent, too, for whoop-
ing cough. sore lungs, asthma, hoarse-
ness and other throat troubles.
Mix l pint OF granulated sugar with
y pint OF warm 1ater and stir for 2
minutes. Put 2H ounces of Pinex 60
cents WORTHY in a pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one. two or
three hours.
This is just laxative enough to help
cure cough. Also stimulates the appe-
tite, which is usually upset by cough.
The taste is pleasant.
The effect Of pine and sugar syrup on
the inhamed membranes is we'll known.
Pinex is the most valuable concentrated
compound Of Norway white pine ex-
tract, rich in guiaicol and all the nat
ural healing pine elements. Other prep
arations will not work in this formula.
The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is
now used by thousands of housewives
throughout the United States and Can

the old successful formula has never
been eQua1ed.

The sullen easements, hopeless, stare
Insistent, through responseless air;

Here gallant knight wooed peerless

BY unknown hand. The deed was

A shapeless form meath shielding
Stole from his room; the night wind
sighed.
No sound is heard from morn till

The dull stones seem to shrink from
