The only advice to be given is that
you try and bear the cares with as much
fortitude as possible, trusting to that
Providence which is all supreme, and
which never fails sooner or. later to ad-
just matters properly, to help you out.
But if. on the other hand, the fault
can be laid to your door inasmuch that
you are failing to exercise the requisite
amount of tact, patience or whatever
virtue may be necessary to keep matters
going in the way they should, then lose
no time but get to work at once and ser
things straight.
Life at best is short and eventually,
with the passing of the years, that time
is bound to roll around when you Will
sit at the hearthside with your memories.
And in the twilight hour of existence
it will be your gain to have those same
reflections plead pleasant ones.
This, can only be brought about
through the good you do.
Taking unfair advantage, gaining your
end at the expense of another's dlscom-
future, sacrificing the finer edge of honor
through the evasion of living up to your
promises, will prove dead sea fruit In
that time of retrospection when mis-
takes shall be beyond the pale OF being
retrieved.
Each and every one of us is given his
or her accepted time for the working out
of their salvation, and were it well that
we do not let the same slip by unheeded,

we think it possible the time of our OPP
portunity, probably, shall have passed; 1t

law of retribution, and descend upon the
head of the man who sent it forth.

1t Was Different Long Ago.
When we remember childhood's happy
hour we think of all outdoors to play in;
or, if not exactly all outdoors, the next
thing to it, big back yard with cur
rant bushes in it, and hower beds, and
regular garden with rows of sweet corn
(alas! these had to be hoed at the most
inopportune times) and apple trees and
Towering currants and Japan ounce, and
lots of grass with dandelions so that you
could make curls of the stems by split
ting them with your tongue, or droning
noises by blowing on them, or you could
puff on the old gray-headed ones to see if
your mother wanted you, and Carmi-
chaels' rooster growing: "OO-aOO-a-OO-

horn for his meat-wagon, and your moth

had at such time.
There were mallows that you could

broken dishes to keep house with. and

old Molly chewing her cud and rolling

Selecting Rugs for Summer Cottage.
The floors of at least one or two of
the rooms of the summer home, as well
as that of the porch may be covered with
grass or fiber rugs. These rugs have
splendid wearing qualities, and are cool
in appearance, easily cleaned and very
sanitary, are reversible and do not curl
at the edges. They sell for as low as
SO and $40 for the conventional 9X12
size. There is a new rug made of a
combination of rope stock and wool,
which comes in unusually attractive and
simple designs, in warm, bright colors,
and can be used in any room, and which
costs only $15 or SIG. There is an APP
pearance of quality about these rugs
which quite bellies their low price. There
is also a variety of wooden rugs made
in solid colors and with borders, which
may be purchased at a price ranging
from $40 to SIG in the 9x12 size, and
which, although somewhat rough in tex
ture, do not offend the eye in their color
tones, and will give thorough satisfac-
ton, both because of their appearance
and their wearing qualities, in any sum-
mer home except those of the more pre-
tentious character where dainty and eX-
pensive furniture is used.
1t often happens that the floor of the
summer cottage is rough and full of
cracks, so that it is not satisfactory even
