EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

If the sum total of all the unhap-
piness caused by people who murder
and the sum total of all the unhap-
piness caused by people who tease
could be reckoned, which do you think
would be the greater?
Myself, / haven't a doubt but that
| the latter would make the former look
like a molehill beside a mountain
Sometimes | almost wonder if teas
ing isn't the objectionable sin.
Perhaps before you decide that m
altogether talking nonsense, I'd better
give you an idea of what 1 mean by
teasing.
/ know a certain brother and sister
who live together, and who are ex-
ceptionally fond of each other. The
brother is an exemplary brother in
most ways He supports his sister in
comfort. He often denies himself for
her sake. He is very thoughtful and
frequently brings her lovely gifts when
he comes back from business trips.
know he would feel terrible if any
thing should happen to her and am
sure she adOres him.
And yet their home is not a happy
one
Why?
Because he will tease her.
She has an unfortunate trick of mix
ing up names, and saying just the ex-
act opposite of what she means.
For instance, she will say, 81 think
I'll wear my thick dress, because it is
so warm, Wnen Sne means so cOlO-
Or, she will be telling about call
from her Cousin Ruth, and half the
time she will refer to Ruth as Anne,
who is her older sister.
Now what she means is almost per-
fectly obvious.
And yet the brother is never salts
fled to tolerantly make the mental
correction, and let it go at that. He
always laughs, an irritating, nagging
little laugh, and says sarcastically,
You are going to wear a thick dress
because it is so warm, are your
Or Whats that? I thought you said
Ruth was here, and now you are
talking about Anne 2"
OF course that frets his sister and
she says something tart in return, and
in a moment they are at loggerheads
with each other.
Then again. he knows that if he
says certain things she will be dis
turbed and will protest and he never
omits an opportunity of saying these
things and then explaining after the
protest comes, II knew. I'd get a rise

out of YOU
Whereupon the dove of peace flies
out the window, or up the chimney if
the window is shut.
And so in this home where peace
and harmony might reign there is dis
cord and antagOnism just about half
the time, all because of these and 9TH
er little habits of teasing.
Now that's just one illustration of
what I mean by teasing. But I guess
it's enough to start a train of thought
that will take you to some other
or perhaps even in your own family.
And what on earth is the use.
Is it possible tt 1t any of the people
sisters little mistakes or getting a
discord that fills their home?
Is it possible that any of the people
who are always teasing others get
enough pleasure to outweigh the pain
they inflict?
Isn't it strange to reflect that there
are thousands of homes where the
m embers of the family love each other
very dearly and would be heartbroken
over a vacant chair and vet cannot
refrain from teasing each other. thus
causing those they love so dearly
much unnecessary unhappiness?
To be happy and to make others
happy-it seems to me that this very
nearly covers the whole duty of
man.
And think how thoroughly they fail
of it, who tease.

They are unlike the ordinary bak-

sliced. The icing is rich smooth and

One of the smartest novelties Of
fered for early fall wear is the quilted
hat. It's popularity may be traced to
the Introduction of the English walk

pure white, with cord and tasse1 of the

appear to good advantage on black
quilted velvet hats. Hats of quilted
white cashmere. with an undertaking
of plaid silk, are also natty and smart,
though not as practical as the simple
black velvet. These hats are ideal for
wear with plain tailored costumes.

HAVE SOME CRISP FRESH
POTATO CHIPS

This is crisp weather and these fresh
crisp brown potato chips will taste
mighty good at any meal. A good way
to do is to have a dish of them on the
table every meal Twill save cooking
pototoes many times when you are
busy.
Our potato chips, we think, are just
a little above any others you can buy
or make at home with your limited
facilities We have spent a great deal
of money in installing special equip
ment for making potato chips and the
results we get are not equalled in the
city.
We use only the very choicest large
new potatoes; a variety specially
adapted for potato chips. They are
peeled and sliced by machine; then the
starch is removed by a special process.
Next they are fried in a copper vat
of clear cooking compound at boiling
heat. When they are crisp and brown
they are removed, drained and sailed
Each chip is thin and uniform; crisp,
but unbroken and temptingly brown.
We sell them at 40c per pound.

DON'T ACCEPT A SUBSTITUTE
DEMAND THE BEST: WESTON

If you cannot come to the bakery
for your Weston Bread you may or
der it through any conscientious groc-
err Sometimes you may have to in
sist a little, but it is worth the trifling
extra pains.
Weston Bread is so good that near
ly every grocer in town sends his
wagon to our shop daily for a supply
to please particular patrons. We do
not maintain an expensive delivery
service, but put extra quality into the
bread and divide the saving with Wes-
ton Bread users by giving tasteful and
valuable premiums for the cash reg
lister checks and labels from the
wrappers.
If you are now dealing with one Of
the few groeers who will not get
Weston Bread for you, call us up and
we will tell you where are dozens of
good reliable stores which will gladly
deliver it with your daily order.

Tbs Brightest Page

The brightest page in the more recent
social history of England was begun in
1908 with the passing of the employ
ment of children act This definitely
prohibited the employment Of children
under ID years of age between the hours
Of 9 O'Clock in the evening and 6 in
the morning, and empowered local au-
thorities to pass bylaws further re
stricting and limiting such employment
Previous TO this there were laws max
ing it possible TO prevent children un-
der ~ years of age being employed
during school hours.
The London county council was the
FIRST local authority 10 avail itself OF
the new powers conferred by the act of
1903. No boy under the age Of II is
now allowed to carry on street trading
in London. and every boy has to wear
Il badge on his right arm in token Of his
license TO trade.
Restrictive legislation is the natural
precursor of constructive cndcavor. II
is all very well governing the condi
tions of juvenile employment, but if
the employment itself is an undesr-
able one. the Iot OF the boy is not
much improved. One Of the mos, sirik
