Martyrs of War.

Once the Earth was theirs. They trod
BIitheiy DER the Springs young sod;
Now they own little spot
In a quiet burial lot.
Once for very joy they sang,
And their lightsome laughter rang
Now the music that is heard
Is the song of bee and bird.
Once they trod Life's busy ways,
Work and play filled all their days
Now their task is but to sleep,
And unbroken silence keep.
Once their hearts with hope beat high;
Pleasure kept them company
Now no joyance do they know
In their chambers dark and low.
Once they heard the bugle's blare
CRYING on the troubled air
Now they do not know the gain
Reaped from fields of stress and pain
Once, when sore their Country's need,
Swift were they in word and deed
Now In sacred beds they lie,
Honored while the years go by.
Once they gave US all their best;
Now we bless them in their rest;
And on each Memorial day
Flags and blossoms DER them lay.

The Evening Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON
1.-TWO men looked out from prison bars;
One SAW mud. another starsn

One a mud, another stars"
Robert Louis Stevenson.
ISN'T it a n interesting thought to realize how much the subjective
element enters into our vision?
In other words, what a different world each and every one of us
sees.
And I don't refer only to the difference between the man who sees
who see sunshine, but to the fact that II two people eve see the same
world in any sense.
For instance, three people-two men and a woman-walk down the
street together.
One man is interested in architecture. He is thinking of building a
house. SO he see al. the houses on the street. He notes the French roof
of one, the comfortable bay windows of another, places a third in the
Queen Anne period, and approves the long French windows of a fourth.
The other mar is Interested in automobiles. He notices the makes
of all that pass, calculates their horsepower, mentally crticises the wind
shield of on and admires the color scheme of another.
The woman sees the people they pass, gets a idea for her spring
hat from the first woman, thinks the man who comes next is a Gibson
type and looks rather like her beloved Mr.. Gillette, wonders why on
earth the next woman wears her hair so unbecomingly, is so glad she
doesn't have to live with that crosslooking man, and screws her head
way round for a last look at that duck of a baby in the white kitty cap
One and the san street.
IL yet wha dtncront things those throo poeple ow-an didn't
seas they passed down it.
And then there is the element of subjective vision eve In the way
different people see the same person or object.
My dog, for instance q realize that he is neither an object o a per-
son, but he is 80 near the second that I feel justified in using him for a n
example) may be homely and ungatnly to other people, but to me he is a
handsome dog because l SCI a light in his eyes and a. Intelligence in his
gaze which the stranger misses.
1t may be partly that the light and the intelligence leap up to greet
me as they don't for the stranger but they are also partly subjective, 1
think.
The old apple tree n your yard that you climbed and played house
in and fell out of as a child must look different to you than 1t does to the
"a who comes to trim it.
The living room that you have gradually added to and saved for and
enriched with the gifts and purchases of years must look a very different
place to you than it does to the casual caller.
We are apt to think W e see merely what is before u.s., and to lken
our eyes to Photographic apparatus.
AS a matter of fact, we see what is within US as much az what is
without. and u eyes are far more like the artist who picks and chooses
and concentrates the light n N object and shades 1t another, thar
the camera. which must represent everything before it impartialy.

Etiquette.

Chaperons and matrons are given the
first choice Of seats at a theater party.
The eldest girl IN a family is entitled
to drop her Christian name and have
her card read Miss Merrill.
Cards should bear the full Christian
name or names with the Mrs.
John Jordan Merrill Is better than
Mrs. John j. Merrill.
A well bred woman does not wait for
the ushers to request that she remove
her hat at the theater, but takes 1t off
before the rise of the curtain.
At a well arranged table the host and
hostess sit opposite each other and
plan not to have two gentlemen or
two ladies seated side by side.
A gift sent to a couple celebrating
a wedding anniversary should arrive
several days before the date of the
event and should be accompanied by
the sender's card bearing a message of
congratulation.
Distance does not eliminate the
courtesy Of sending a wedding gift.
Though the recipient of the invitation
live a long way from the scene of the
ceremony, the gift should be forward
ed to arrive some time before the date
set for the ceremony.

Hinta 70 the hosteas.

A finger bowl is the final service of
a fruit course and usually terminates a
dinner. The bowl should be half filed
with water and set upon a plate hold
ing a small dolly.
When the plate upon which the bowl
Is carried to the table Is Intended to
receive the fruit. the bowl and dolly
are placed at one side of the dish. Tips
Of fingers of each hand are dipped in
turn into the water and rubbed to-
gether gently until all traces OF the
fruits are removed. They are dried on
the napkin. which should remain o.
the knees and not be used as a towel
after a hand bath.
If the water in the bowl is scented
the odor should be very faint indeed.
A better plan Is to place a single frag-
rant blossom or leaf to float on the
surface of the miniature lake. The
host or hostess may set the example
by taking the blossom from the bowl,
drying 1t on the napkin, and pinning 1t
on as q favor. Pansies are particularly
pretty for this purpose, and nasturti-
ums make gay little crafts for sailing
in the finger bowl.

Attention, Husbands.

Here are a few rules, clipped from
a paper years ago, for the use of the
husband who would learn how to keep
his wife:
Deserve her perfect confidence.
Never do anything which will make
you appear mean in her eyes.
Let her tell you her grievances, and
tell her your worries; you may be able
to help each other, and you can surely
comfort each other.
Try to be as thoughtful Of your
wife's comfort as you were when you
first tried to win her heart; she needs
your thoughtfulness more now.
Don't forget all the little courtesies
you used to show her and which made
you appear so we'll In her eyes; If
there were aught to endear her to you
before marriage she should be a thou
sand times dearer to you now
Help her with the children some
times at night, when they are fretfuI
and you have no hired help. Suppos
ing you do put in the plea that you
are tired and that you have been
working all day, hasn't she been work

POSTAGE Stamp Lore.

II one writes a letter on business of
an individual nature a stamp should
be inclosed for the correspondents
reply. This rule is invariable. In
writing to a business house where
ones relations are constant one may
not need to take this special care. For
example, In sending an order for goods
to a shop one need not inclose a post
age stamp. In writing a letter request
ing information the case is different,
and a stamp should be sent with the
letter. In other words, m should
never cause expense, even in the small
amount of 2 cents, to some n who
Is outside ones affairs. The bill for
postage stamps where ones CORE
spondence is large soon mounts to the
region of dollars and gets itself quite
beyond the province of trifes.

Advice For Engaged Couples.

A certain etiquette should govern the
actions Of an engaged couple. as well
for the preservation Of their W self
respect as for the purpose of avoiding
comment from other people.
A man should not make his nancee
conspicuous by too great a devotion In
public. Such devotion is correct
enough when they are alone, but a
modest girl is embarrassed by too
great a show OF affection when stran-
gers are present
