the hall is a parasol stand placed in the

neatly together and be able to choose
the right one out with ease when de-

Since. ii is to stand in her dainty sit

should be as much a thing Of beauty as
the scrap basket, hat stand, or an,
other of the useful ornaments which
make up her pretty chamber. The para

covered with the same chintz as that

Then the next time the tag must &c

If you repeat the words under, over
every time, you cannot go wrong This
method is very convenient when lacing,
as the stays can be made loose or tight

lace sticks and will not pull freely. The
mistake so often Is made Of bringing the

MUST THIS GIRL GENIUS BE A BOYa

rlaced the authorities in a dilemma In
the first place, French girls during the
last ten years have been seized with a
violent passion for learning. They know
ten times more than their sisters ten
years older than they. Therefore, the
presence Of Nine Curie's daughter at
Lakanal school might attract other girls.
Fashionable families would tumble over
each other to send their daughters to the
school, as the young girl to-day Is no
where in society II not a bluestocking.
Mime. Curie still insists on sending her
girl to Lakanal, near which she lives,
even II she has to be turned into boy.
The headmaster is wondering whether he
had not better turn his boys school into
a girls school altogether.
The enormous reputation or Nine.
Curie in all, scientific circles Is what
makes the problem so embarrassing TO
the government, as well as to the La
kanal school head-master.

By DOROTHY DIX.

= A certain man had a tragic childhood
robbed of everything that makes child
hood bright and happy. He was the
son Of parents who were desperately
poor-poor in purse, poor In body. poor
in mind and heart and soul
There was not even love in his home
and he grew up in an atmosphere OF
continual strife and wrangling. He was
Ill fed, uneducated, neglected, beaten,
nistreated in every way, and at twelve
years Of age was thrown out into the
world to earn his own living.
BY sheer force of character this boy
now man, has worked his way out
OF poverty and incompetency and ignor-
ance. To-day he is a successful man,
admired. respected. loved by those about
him, but he has not been able to leave
behind him the bitter memories of the
past.
They darken all his present and shadow
his future. and he is haunted by the
recollections of all be has suffered. He
realizes that no one can beat him now,
or tyrannize over him. or humiliate him,
and yet he is terrorized by the ghosts
Of the blows and the abuse that he once
knew
This man asks me what he shall do
to allay these spirits that are driving
him mad. l do not know. The Emman-

lucky he is in having his sorrows over

it is to have blighted manhood.
Another thing that I would suggest to
my correspondent is that morbidness Is
disease that grows by what it feeds upon.
1t is egotism in its most acute form, and
the only remedy for il is to quit think
ing about oneself and go to thinking
about somebody else.
If this man who had an unhappy child
hood wants to Danish the ghosts of 1t
he can do so most effectually by making
other children happy.

MAKE ORNAMENT

1t Is the custom for brides to start a
guest book on first going to housekeep-
ing. This, in later years, becomes an
interesting record of entertaining. As 1t
becomes something Of a nuisance to
have every one sign who comes to the
house. most hostesses confine it to
guests who stay over night. These rec
ords are often incomplete, because they
are kept out Of sight and forgotten. The
book should be sufficiently ornamental
to be on a library table or desk.
One Of the most complete is eight by

ed and bronzed leather. with a border.
and appropriate notices Illuminated on
each page. This was divided with par

A woman's watch is almost a joke-so
rarely does 1t keep time. This is rarely
the fault of the watch. Few women know
how to care for a watch. They wind 1t
when they remember to. which often
means not for weeks. They stuff 1t in a
handbag with all kinds of belongings.
rarely have 1t cleaned, frequently let It
fall and think nothing in the setting Of
turning the hands backward to save a
few minutes turning in the right direc-
ton.
Here are a few rules that women should
commit to memory:
Wind a watch at nearly the same time
each day. 1t Is just as bad to wind too
often as to let a watch run down.
DO not wind your watch too tightly.
This is responsible for many visit to
the teweler.
Do not hold the watch by the stem and
