AWHILE we expect to take a rest, visit a friend or read a book, but
that time never comes. All life is spent in meaning to overtake 1t, and
enjoy it. Meanwhile we toll, drudge and grow old, passing by with un-

1t seem 10 me the first line Of that second quotation might well read
most Of u.s. instead of some of u.s."
For how rare is the person who doesn't go through life that way.
Someday W g must get a chance to look up that old school friend who

us W. would enjoy s. much.
Someday we must get time to go up to the art gallery and look at
that beautiful new Madonna o. go to v@per services at that Church
where they have such wonderful music.
And then the days and the weeks and the months and the years OF
routine living go IN and yet "someday" does not come.
1 remember once when l a a little girl, having beer put off many
times by a promise that 1 should do this 0 that "someday' that I went

And yet now that I'm grown u p and am the mastero of my own some

Little Travelers' Toys.

A lady while travelling about Europe
with three small children devised a
plan for their entertainment which
proved successful, says Good House
keeping. A selection Of their favorite
toys was made, and these were packed
together in one Of the strong small
straw SUIT cases. This was left in the
exclusive care Of the largest child. In
this way the p~laythings were all to-
gether, and the children themselves
were responsible for their safe keep
ing. When they grew tired Of trav-
cling they could open the suit case and
take out what they desired without a
long and wearisome hunt through
various articles of clothing, If any Of
the toys were broken new ones were
added to the collection. For such a
scheme 1t is convenient to include
n Of the fiat folding backgammon
boards, not only to play backgammon
or cards upon, but because 1t can be
used as a small table.

Inc Shy 1irl.
Only those who have themselves
passed through the same experience
can appreciate the trials of the really
shy girl. Some girls are shy when
first entering a room or on being In
troduced to a stranger, but recover
their self possession within a short
time, but that is not the kind Of shy
ness to which reference here is made.
The really shy girl is a victim of
nerves. She may be an exceedingly
capable young lady, but she shrlnks
within herself at the bare idea of pub
licity, ever the limited publicity Of a
drawing room. Such d girl needs sym
pathetic treatment, but unfortunately
she does not always receive 1t. Some
people laugh at her and make her
worse, whereas others bestow upon
her a kindly, encouraging smile, and
thus assist her wonderfully In passing
through a trying ordeal. 1t too fire.
quently happens that such a girl Is
pushed forward-thrust into the full
glare of the light, so to say-for the
purpose of making her accustomed to q
crowd of strangers. The idea is that
she viii have the bashfulness knocked
out Of her very quickly and be trans
formed into q cool, collected young
woman. That is a great mistake. A
truly shy girl suffers agonies under
such an infection, and she is more de-
termined than ever to keep In retire
ment.

Country Entertaining.

While In the country the children
will need some entertainment, as even
the novelty Of gathering wild flowers
and running wild" will wear of after
awhile. One excellent way Of enter
tanning them, or, rather, of teaching
them to entertain themselves, is to
have them make a bathing place for
birds. This may be done by placing
a shallow trough partially In the
ground and keeping 1t filled with fresh
water. It is astonishing how Dol the
feathered people will find this luxury
and how merrily they will enjoy 1T.
One seems to tell another, and soon
the birds pool will afford entertain
ment for many hours each day to the
children who watch the happy bath
ers. They will thus become acquaint-
ed with the air folk and will be more
eager to learn of their lives and their
haunts.
