Some one has said that we have-at

brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts and
cousins; we have even two grandfath-

have only one mother, only one father.
And as they have given the most to
you, so you should try to give the
most to them. and do your utmost to
make their birthday happy.
No hard and fast rules will bring
about this happiness. Love alone can

THE DEAD
TOWN..

A veritable problem concerns the
gentlewoman in the dead country
town. Eligable men are scarce and
ideas of what is '1adylike
phrase-are still half century behind
the age in many little towns; so that
the women are not only denied the
chance of happy marriage, but are de-
barred from earning their own living
in fields that the women of the cities
are rapidly overrunning. Chance OF
marriage is reduced almost to the van
ishing point. The populations of many
of these little towns are dwindling-
next years census will show some
startling figures-and always the wo-
men are the last to leave. Many are
forced to remain to the last by family
ties or the demands Of property, In
these humdrum places that have seen
greater days, and that are now
dwindling, dilapidated and embitter-
ed from the outside world that has so
cruelty ignored them, says writer.
There are several reasons why the
sentlewoman's chances Of finding a
congenial life partner are SO restrict
ed in the country town. One Is in
herent in the life of all such centers
and it arises from the exclusiveness
that maintains in all their rightly the
old divisions between the various
classes in a community.

THE FAMILY
BIRTHDAY,

Tell you about the etiquette Of the
family birthday! That seems almost
unnecessary. For what is it that makes
the family birthday what it should be
"a day Of happiness for every one a
day which strengthens the dear home
ties as the years go by and fills the
heart with love and respect for the
things that make life worth the lfv-
ing? Surely it is not the method of
serving the cake, the set speech of
congratulation, the value of the gifts
or the beauty of the frocks worn.
These things do not matter when the
right spirit fills the heart; when each
gift means some loving thought or
word, when each word spoken comes
from a heart that beats little faster
because it is so full of love. for the one
whose birthday has once more rolled
around.
So, to begin with, when you are cele-
brating the birthday of any one in the
family, capture the true birthday
spirit. First, count your own bless
ings. Remember how much the one
whose birthday you are celebrating
grandmother, grandfather, mother,
father, uncle, aunt. brother or sister,
Think how much time and thought
and love each has given to you.
In one family / know Of the father,
on his birthday every year, gives each
of his children gift. If we only STOP

one who has birthday is giving gifts
gifts of love and thought, work and
effort-to every one else in the fam
lily.
The dear little baby who dimples
into laughter and coos with delight
when he sees you; the brother OF sis
ter, whose friendship and companion
ship mean so much. in time of child
ish scrapes and in time of very grown
up troubles; the gentle old grand

and help are always at your service

treasures for you.

4 DREAM.

i. x sEs ~ OHeAms
I was dreaming one day Of the Master
~ Oft had dreamed before,
When suddenly thru the gateway
And up to my cottage door
Came the Hight Of His matchless glory
The Joy Of His wondrous grace,
And . rapture thrilled my being
That time can never efface.
The Master passed DER my threshold
And still thru the years see
The halo touching His forehead.
! The smile meant only for me,
An He talked Of the beauty Of SER
vice,
And told Of the narrow way
That leads thru the falling shadows
70 dawning Of endless day.
And kneeling there in His presence.
And kissing the tender feet,
Whose touch made thorniest path
ways a
Forevermore to be sweet,
! prayed to be always with Him,
To 30 from the cottage door
And down thru the open gateway
Across to the golden shore.
But He answered nay to my pleading
And bade me linger while,
Where the little ones follow shadows
Astray for want Of smile:
Then passing over the threshold.
: He went thru the cottage gate,
While ] turned to neglected duties
In haste. for the hour was late.
And whenever the darkness deepens
In the land where shadows are,
And look in vain thru the purple
gloom
4 For the cleaning Of star,
Like Q beautiful garments about me
feel the joy Of His love,
And know He will come thru the cot
tAge door
TO lead to the light above.

FUR TIM e.

COn 1--WE.
Now that the fur season is again
here there are many who have fur
garment they will not trust to pro-
fesional renovating. Here are few
hints which will prove useful:
Cut fur always from the skin side,
and with knife, not a pair of scis-
sors. Cut the skin through and the fur
will come apart of itself
When you are pfecing the fur, be
sure to fit 1t so that the fur runs in
the same direction on both pieces. You
can tell this in thick fur, where it is
not easily visible, by brushing or rub
bling the fur and seeing in which di-
rection the hairs lie.
Sew fur not by scanning, which
makes an ugly ridge, but by overcast
ing with a heavy thread which has
been previously rubbed with shoemak-
er's wax.
Furs may be washed in a suds Of
luke-warm water and white CASTLE
soap. Shake the fur upside down in
this suds. being careful not to rub
with the soap itself. Dry by fasten-
Ing on board, fur side down and
well stretched. after wringing, two or
three times in clear, cold water.
White furs may be washed in the
same way as the above, but a little
washing ammonia should be added to
the soap and water. This keeps the
fur white and makes it fluffy.
Never try to brush fur to clean. it;
long, furs, however, may be
combed out with coarse comb. Muffs
should be shaken out before using
them. Never hold a muff close to
your body-it wears the fur out in
time.
