tato without eyes could see that Eve, sooner or later, would get tired sitting up holding her own hands all day. That wasn't any sort of a home. A home Is only home when two people build it to- gether. mutually agreeing to make it an abiding place of love and peace"
 Do you suppose Eve ever longed to get back to Paradise after she left it?'' asked Peggy solemnly. This is a mighty rocky old world" Q
 ''No. indeed" I retorted, Five was like all the rest of her daughters. She got more pleasure out of coaxing red geran- ium to grow in a tomato can in her own window than ambling about in those great fields of ornate flowers, attended to by the best of florists
 You really think that, Dolly?' asked Peggy.
 'T don't think" I answered, T know. Wasn't Eve the mother of us all? don't know a half dozen women of my ac- quaintance today who would stand for Paradise as long as Eve did, with a crusty grouchy old husband, like Adam. Why it wouldn't have surprised me to hear that she turned out to be Suffrag- cite under such circumstances. Anything to get away from him!''

Home-Making a Fine Art

| There is a young married woman living in a suburb of Boston whose management of her home and children is the admira- tion of all her neighbors, says a core | spondent.
 Well, you see I took a course In home making" she explained when the reporter l asked her to talk about her methods. Al l though I am an American by birth, was | brought up in England. There, as you know, there are several schools in which a girl may specialize in home making, management of the house and care of cfil- dren.
 Although the theory Is taught first the practical comes so soon after that it is almost as if they were both taught to- gether. We had instruction in elementary physiology and hygiene, and caring for babies in the house gave us an opportuni- ty to put the theories taught into practice The babies were from ? weeks to years of age, and they were all the children of working women, who left them for us 10 care for while they were at work
 Some of them were brought to us Tn the morning without being awakened Their mothers hao to get to work so early they were glad enough to leave the bath ing and dressing of them to us. All of this was done under the immediate super vision of a trained nurse. Just as all the ii'tle SdihiellS were Hdue under the ul- rections of a trained needlewoman who saw that we cut and made each garment according to the latest and most approved patterns. We had to prepare the food for the children under the direction of a trained cook, supervised by a chemical ex- pert.
 Tt was all very interesting once you became familiar with the methods, al- though I was appalled, when, within 10 minutes after entering the school, I was called in to a class of physiology, and asked such a number of questions that I couldn't answer. "

What She Asked Him

From the Detroit Free Press.
 Did you see any pretty girls in New York?
 Did you speak to any of them? Did you go to church Sunday morning How late did you sit up playing cards How much did you lose?
 Did you behave yourself?
 What time did you go to bed?
 Who sat at your table?
 Did you really have as much fun as you thought you would by not taking your ''wifey" along? < Did you make fool of yourself? Did you forget your home address? You didn't write.
 Did you meet anybody up north that you knew?
 Did you attempt to sing?
 What makes your eyes look so heavy? Did you meet Harold Jarvis? Is Marquette pronounced "Markay?" What was the text of Dr. Fences ser mon?
 How much money have you left?

habit of indifference to our surroundings very literal sense we see not. or at leasr we see only what is large and inns pressive and so obtrudes itself upon our consciousness.
 But the perfection of wayside flower, the coat or the song of a bird, the beauty of an insects wing, the myriad wonders which go to make up animate nature we see not at all or with casual glance, 1t is not necessarily scientific interest which leads to the seeing of nature.
 Of course, the scientist does observe. but beauty is not his quest. It Is utility. Tt Is unquestionable that a world of de- light awaits those of us who before it ia too late to take on new habits of life, learn to see what is above our heads. beside our paths, under our feet. One charm of this interest is that it Is imper- sonal.
 It is not difficult to learn to distinguish the birds by their songs. We all know one or two. We might know dozens, and as soon as We do, listen within a conn pretending ear. The little songster be- comes fellow creature to be remem- beied, recalled and loved, and when we know him by his song we shall gradually discover his habits of life and enter into his various experiences. All of this to ones own pleasure and good. In the same way we may learn to know the wild flowers, and look upon them as fa- miliar friends.

The Latest Shop Talk

The time for housekeeping is almos, here and if you will listen I can tell you the very shop to visit when you want to replenish your stock of jardinieres etc.-if 1t happens to be depleted by the breaking proclivities of your maid. If you have a fancy for gigantic proportions you may indulge it here, for there is one jardinere and pedestal of ivory tinted pattern, Jec- orated with a Grecian border.
 There are some beautiful odd shaped vases in the Rozane ware-the kind with glazed decorations on the dull cream col ored patterns that are extremely artistic and those same combination jardnieres in She ivory finish with hand stenciled con saptiona designs.
 The very latest thing in jardineres is the combination flower pot and outside jar. The body of the flower pot is just like any other, but the rim is decorated to

match the jardiniere. When the pot is set in the rim catches on the top of the jar diniere and the two pieces look like enc The joyrof it, though, comes when you want to lift the pot out, for you no longer have to bruise your fingers or break your plant trying 10 get hold of it. Just grasp the rim and out comes the pot and plana without even soiling your pretty fingers.
 And have you seen those dear little jugs and pots and jars and vases in that lovely old dull green Roman ware. They really are the cunningest things. and would make a charming Christmas gift for some friend who has an eye for the artistic if you are so forehanded or ''foreminded" as to be thinking of Christmas at ;his early date

Last night, when the remnants of my dinner had ceased to interest me, I looked for Tom. He lay just under the edge of the table. l reached down and patted the big black lump affectionately.
 Dear old fellow. I murmured, then l wound up the endearing epithet with a little shriek
