ercise, they would derive a great deal
of profit at very small cost. The
muscles Of the spine, the shoulder
blades, the arms, and the body gen.
orally are all brought into play in
sweeping, busting, and bed-making,
and closely resemble the physical cul-
ture exercises which are practiced
fads of the hour. The fashionable
ladies who spend so much time daily
punching an elaborate striking ball
would derive just as much good from
poking and punching their holsters
and pillows if they would engage upon
the homely occupation of bed-making..
Turning the mattress entails muscu-
lar effort which exercises the muscles
of the back and shoulders. Brisk
busting and sweeping provides health
full exercise at the minimum of cost
to every woman who will give house
work a trial. Many a disconnected,
sallow young woman would be trans
formed by good liberal dose of
Homework. 1t is often difficult for
business girls to find the necessary
time, but even half an hours brisk
Homework combined with a walk to
and from business will do great deal
to keep the muscles in healthy con-
dition. But those who intend to go
in for household gymnastic must re-
member that homework, done with
open windows and plenty of fresh air
about, is ten times more valuable
than the same work done in badly
ventilated rooms. Open the windows
before you begin, and be careful to
vary the occupations as much as pos
sible so as not to keep certain set
of muscles on tension. If there is a
great deal of housework to be done
| judicious rests are essential. Ten
minutes in the middle of the morning
spent in complete rest will make the
latter half of the mornings work moi
half so hard. Sacred Heart RcpieD.

THE TOWN KNocKER.

If there's one thing more than an
other that helps put a community in
the "also ran" class, it's the town
'knocker." You know him,-the fell
low who is always complaining that
the town is dead, that business is 60
ing from bad to worse, that the
schools are not half as good as they
are in some neighboring village, and
SO on. Not only does the "knocker"
dole out this discouraging line of talk
to his own town folks, but passes it
along to the strangers within our
gates. And isn't it wonderful how
fast this kind of information spreads,
and isn't it equally wonderful how
some people will quicker believe a
bad than good report!
Every good citizen should take the
keenest interest in the welfare of his
own town-the stores, the churches,
the amusements, business in general
in fact, everything that goes to
make prosperity and happiness
When this is done there is never any
need to apologize for a towns exist
ence or for anything it contains.
Local pride is a great business
understanding is the surest way
to wipe place off the map. Let's all
be practical boosters for the old town!
Let's start today. And let's keep it
up all the time.

HOUSEHOLD ANGEL.

"She left behind her the agreeable
sense that she had passed. says the
Dutch novelist, Maarten Martens, in
describing a good housewife. Such a
vivid way of putting it. Can't you
just see the beauty and comfort that
sprang into being at the passing of
that woman, just like the violets that
bloom in the wake of the sweet April
rains? Oh, the hundreds and hun
dreds of women just like the one the
Dutch novelist described. They are
the uncrowned saints, the dear domes-
tic saints, who make the grey, every
day road worth travelling.
An untidy room is quickly reduced
to pleasantness and order, a film of
dust is brushed lightly from a pol
ished table, a spicy chrysanthemum is
tucked in vase, the fretting canary
has fresh water and seed given him,
the hungry man returning home finds
a table neatly set and an appetizing
meal awaiting him. Of such is the
stuff of her humble magic. But what
a halo of honor and affection is hers
when her family realize with an agree
able sense that she has passed.
Such women extend the same
charming sense of creating comfort
wherever their presence blesses.
Friends have happy sense of being
remembered because such women do
not merely think the gracious thought,
1t blossoms into execution of some
kindly deed. Is neighbours child I'LL,
such a ones helpfulness smoothes
some obstacles from the daily toll. It
seems easy for her to relieve sick
watch for an afternoon, because she
does it with such an appearance of
cheer and pleasure.

THE HABIT OF DECISION.
BE Sure You're Right, But Do Not BE
Too Long About it.

you will find, Stevey," said Uncle
Hiram to his hopeful young nephew,
"a great satisfaction and great help
in being able to make up your mind"
Don't be dilly-dallyer, always un-
decided, never knowing what you
want to do. You don't want to jump
at things without thought; you want
to be sure you're right, but you don't
want to be too long about it; you
want to be able to make up your
mind. Better to blunder now and
then than to lack decision.
This is a point to which some peo-
pie can never bring themselves. They
weigh things pro and con till they get
confused and don't know what to do.
This weighing things over, Stevey,
when unduly prolonged not only con-
fuses us, it saps and dissipates our
very energy, literally leaves us weak
and nerveless. We not only don't
know what to do, but if we did know
we'd be powerless to do it; we'd have
to wait and recuperate till our
strength came back and our head
came clear again.
"The ability to decide which some
men possess is more or less gift.
Most of us are often in doubt; we
don't know what to do. But you will
find some men, few clear-headed
and resolute men to whom we in
stinctively turn, who are never in
doubt, whose discernment is always
true, who always know what to do
and who are always right. I hope,
Stevey, that you will prove to be thus
endowed.
But whether or not this shall
prove so, whether or not you shall
discover yourself blessed with the
great gifts of sound common sense
and a clear vision, don't dilly-dally
over things. Make up your mind! In
this power and it's exercise you will
find a great inward satisfaction and a
great help, and so strengthened your.
self, you will be all the more helpful
to other people"

CORRECT DRESS AT WEDDINGS.

In an article on 'The Etiquette of
Weddings in the June Woman's
Home Companion, Christine Terhune
Herrick has the following to say about
correct dress:
after the ceremony, if there is to
be reception, the guests follow the
bride and groom to her home. The
brides mother leaves at the same
time as the bride, if not before, so
that she may be there to greet the
guests when they arrive. The bride
and her attendants at once take place
with her father and mother, to meet
congratulating relatives and friends.
Unless there is a formal collation.
served, the bride does not usually go
into the dining room, but partakes of
some refreshment brought to her in
the reception room.
THE dress for the men is, of course,
always the same for wedding in the
daytime, a frock coat, light trousers,
gray or lavender gloves, and button
hole bouquet. High hats are en- regle.
The bride, if this is her first marriage,
wears white, usually with veil. Her
gown should be made with a high
neck, or at least with a guimpe, and
she should wear little or no jeweIry.
The bridesmaids will look much pref
tier if all are gowned alike.
THE bride presents her brides
maids and maid of honor with little
gift, usually piece of jewelry, and
the groom gives his best man and the
ushers some little token, such as a
scarf pin"

Tor a certain immaculatness in the
details OF his apparel.
"a cup OF tea would be refreshing,
right now" remarked Ethel, with a
note OF languor in her tone. 81

but look over my ribbons and laces.
But just the same, I'm tired as can

Then Bess, with the loveliest brown
eyes, nodded approyingly. and said:
| Wouldn't it go to the right spot?
I'm sure Dorcas won't mind brewing

Would you mind, Dorcas?" Ethel
asked, languidly.
Dorcas, which is not the true name
OF the other girl, but which becomes
her plain and honest little face, rose,
and tossed pair of Harold's cuffs
she had been repairing on the table.
No, I don't mind" she replied.
viii you have the tea served here?
And will you have crackers or cake?"
The restful pair quickly made the
unanimous decision that the tea
should be served here" in the coy
library-it was so much less trouble
for them to have small table jostled
up beside them than to gather up
| their skirts, spoil their attitude of re-
pose, and take walk into the dining
room.
AS soon as Dorcas was out of the
room Bess said, ''What should we do
without Dorcas ?"
do without Dorcas?" echoed Ethel,
in mimic tragedy tones. Il shudder
to think. Without Dorcas you and
would have to wait on ourselves"
Imagine it," said Bess.
'T can't Ethel frankly replied
Probably we are lazy, you and l..
Somehow, doing things doesn't seem
to trouble Dorcas. She doesn't mind.
1t seems perfectly natural to her"
/ We'll, I'm not built that way" said
Bess, laughing lightly. 1--WE got to be
waited upon. If I do things for my
self, I'm frazzled out and don't enjoy
them
me, tool" said Ethel.
Then both comfortably waited for
Dorcas' appearance with the tray OF
refreshments.
/ Of course the tall, slim girl and
the other one with the lovely brown
eyes had their refreshing tea, and
Dorcas, a smile on her plain, honest
face, Joined her sisters over the tea
cups.
One wonders if this little incident
is not typical of what is happening in
many other households, where Dor
cas- with ''plain, honest face,' gives
patient service to her more beautiful
sisters and her exacting brother; a
Dorcas who is supposed mot to mind
services for every member of the fam
lily.
Undoubtedly she says she doesn't
mind which is very pleasant for hel
sisters and brothers, since they
mind" very much when there is any
service to be done.
/ The general opinion of her kindred
is that this gentle servitor never ex
fperiences a sense of aversion, never
feels faint with the monotony of re
spending to calls, never yearns for re
lief in the turn of the lane that
fetches up at being tended" instead
of tending upon
But is it true that to the good ant
true Dorcas nothing at all matters
that savors of work and care? Tha
she yearns to be the packhorse of tht
family?

BALL FANS GALLERY
 OF NOTABLEs
UNCLE BEN SHIBE.
Who Always did What he set Out
 to do.

For long time Good Master Shibe worried along without having to own a ball club. Those were the days when he was "B F." and before he
 became Uncle Ben" Our avuncular
 relative. even prior to his years of re-
 sponsibility as the head of team or
 ganiZation. was so we'll fixed in the
 mere matter Oc money that he could
 call Morgan Pierpy. and snub Ryan
 whenever he didn't feel like speaking.
 He was g manufacturer of baseballs,
 and content with his lot.
 Then along came Ben Johnson and
 Charley Comiskey and Cornelius Mac Ginicuddy. the one they now call Con- niemack. and unto him did say-"You may have rolls an diamonds. an a bundle in the bank: you may have motor ears an sich, and hold a noble rank; but listen to us, Uncle Ben, an hear what you shall hear-you'd ought to own 2 ball club for to round out your career" Uncle Ben fell. He said at that time he couldn't see where | it was going to do him bit of good probably simply result in bringing him | in few extra millions. along with the cares that go with such custody. but he'd do 1t. He'd buy the Philadelphia Athletics. He'd win a few champion ships He'd construct an organization that would make Tammanv Hall look | lige a defective ballot. He'd build a park that would have something on
 Fairmont. Anything else that was
