~ Little Bedtime Tales By EDITH HAVENs y.

7 T was a very rainy day and the little
laurel bush that grew by the road
side looked so sick and tired. 1t was the
weather that made him look so, for he
generally was a most cheerful little
bush. He shivered a bit as the rain
came drenching down nupon him, but
he didn't grumble once during the long,
dreary day.
AS night fell, the rain ceased and the
air grew suddenly warm and clear My,
how different he did feel, so strange
and funnylike!
1t was very dark and he couldn't see
anything different, but he felt It aEd
then there was such a beautiful odor
all about him. The wind passing by
whispered a goodnight and he felt him
self getting drowsy amid the delicate
perfume. Presently his little head be-
gan to droop and all of sudden he was
fast asleep. The little stars in the sky
above winked knowingly at one another,
as much as to say: There's a surprise
in store for little bush in the morning, q"
and there was. What do you think had
happened? He was covered with little
pink blossoms and such beautiful little
blossoms they were, TOO.
Days and days went by and the little
bush was happy, but during another

fiicted parts with camphorated vaseline.
This is especially good to relieve the

An incipient raw throat, often a pre-

thorough greasing of throat and chest

Both of these mixtures can be bougt,

Waist FreShened
By French Fancy

A tight-cut lingerie waist of white
lace and embroidery gains wonder
fully in elaborateness by the ADDITION
OF the latest French fancy.
This is a broad band of net in a
pastel shade, embroidered in soutache
braid of the same color, and appIleo
just over the bust. With this is worn
one of the new neck scarfs of chiffon,
in color that exactly matches, ana
with the ends embroidered in the
soutache. Both of these are easily
made up at home by any clever
needlewoman, and will go long way
toward hiding the deficiencies OF a
pretty but aging lingerie waist.
The chiffon scarf is especially
charming when embroidered its en-
tire length with large coin dots in
satin stitch.

QUALITIES DEEMED
AS WOMAN'S BEST
Sincerity and Tact the Most Desirable to Possess Which
Means Absolute Honesty in All Things, Without
Least Show of Deception.
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

II I were to suggest the two most
desirable qualities for a woman to
i possess they would be sincerity and
tact.
Sincerity in great and small matters,
and tact In everything.
Sincerity does not mean brutality, nor
does tact mean deception.
Sincerity means absolute honesty, and
tact means the sugar coat which rem
ders that honesty palatable to ones
friends.
Yet white blackbirds are not so rare
as sincere human beings. Night after
night, and day after day, hear people
applaud and cry "Bravor' at the per-
formance OF some reader, singer, or in
strumental musician; and 1 hear them
Immediately afterward turn to one
What an amateur performance
II asked why they applauded, they tell
You they were so tender-hearted they
do not like to hurt the feelings of the
artist or their hostess who has provided
the entertainment.
Believe What You Say.
They do not seem to realize that
they could keep quiet and avoid any
expression OF opinion, or that by quickly
starting some other topic of CONVERSE
ton after the recitation or song was
done their failure to applaud might
pass without causing remark. This is
where tact comes in.
Many people think they must. as
they express It, always say what
they think" Now, 1t is not at all
important that We should all say what
ever We believe, but IT Is important
that we should believe whatever we
say.
The sincere person must, If he
speaks, speak truth. The tactful per-
son knows how to keep quiet and how
to divert peoples attention from his
silence when he cannot say what he
thinks without being brutal.
When you applaud what you do not
consider good work, or compliment
what you do not admire; you are sim
ply making yourself liar, nothing else.

] fill this cup to one made up of love-
illness alone,
A woman Of her gentle sex the seeming
paragon;
To whom the better elements and
kindly stars have given
A form so fair that like the air, tits
less of earth than heaven.
Her every tone is music's own, like
those of morning birds,
And something more than melody dwells
ever in her words;
The coinage of her heart are they, and
from her lips each flows
As one may see the burden'd bee forth
issue from the rose.
The Washington times., 1911-01-01

Affection are as thoughts to her, the
measures of her hours;
Her feelings have the fragrancy, the
freshness of young flowers;
And lovely passions, changing oft, so
fill her, she appears
The image of themselves by turns-the
idol Of past years.
OF her bright face one glance will trace
a picture on the brain,
And of her voice in echoing hearts a
sound must long remain;
But memory such as mine of her so
very much endears,
When death is nigh my latest sigh
will not be life's, but hers.
