The burglar evidently concealed him
self in the store some time yesterday

out by the fact that in making his exit
the back door was unlocked and key

Too Much lmanlnation.


The pleasures of the Imagination
have been so much descanted upon by
writer's both in prose and poetry that
one might think the best thing to do
was to cultivate all the imagination
possible in order to get the most JOY
out of life. But there is a possibility
of too much imagination. One can
dwell in realms of fancy too long, or
look upon life in so imaginative and
impractical a way that all ones af-
fairs 80 askew One needs to hold
the reins of fancy with tight, firm
hand.
If the head of the house has toO
much imagination he is apt to be what
is known as visionary a rainbow
chaser. He CANT settle down to the
dull, prosaic routine that brings bread
and butter for his family. He spends
his time building castles in the air, in
thinking out wonderful schemes that
will realize millions His imagination
paints these things in the rosiest col
ors. The fact that he continually
fails does not deter him His magma
ton grows by what it feeds upon And
as one castle tumbles, another still
more beautiful rears itself.
If he would turn this imagination
into right channels, and let it gid and
glorify everyday life, he would have
a treasure indeed. If 1t would help
him to see the romance in the plod-
ding life of his Observation-Disclosures, If i.
would turn his daily work of waiting
on customers into humorous and pic
turesque show, it would be a faculty
we'll worth possessing. If he would
keep it within bounds, It would do
this, When he finds that his visions
melt into thin air, that the end of the
rainbow ever eludes him, then he
needs to acknowledge that he is in
dulging in improbable and vain mag
inings. He wants now to turn this
faculty into profitable channels or keen
it for relaxation after business hours
A certain man with an imagination
of this sort believed his work in life
was to write stories. But his stories

rise and fall one against the O,her
in public favor, but on the whole
steadily retain their popularity against
other perfumes" said the perfumer.
THE most notable feature of the
fashion today is the remarkable ex-
tent to which perfume is being used
in baths. Another modern fashion is
the burning of perfumes in rooms. Per-
fumes have of course, been burned III
this way for ages, but of late there
has been a remarkable revival of the
custom, and there are now on the mar
ket ingenious little lamps. There has

of gums and spices, are used for the

came back with the regularity of The
postman. Instead of vainly continu-
ing and letting his family suffer he
took a position i'm a factory-most
humdrum mechanical work But he
save vent to his imagination after his
days task was over and continued to
write his stories. Looking forward to
his story writing at night, he really en-
joyed his day, and he also plays his
part manfully as bread-winner of the
family.
If the mother of the family has too
much imagination, she is apt to dwell
in realms of fancy when she ought 10
be down upon earth looking after the
practical matters of her household.
She may be one Of those who sees in

crease before it actually arrives and
drives poor John almost distracted
with debt.
Or she may see poets, presidents
and painters in her children when she
had much better realize that Dick
should be made to learn to spell and
Mamie to mend her clothes. They
will probably need these plebeian ac-
as life goes on. 1t is
well enough to have sufficient imagi-
nation to hold up high and beautiful
ideals to the children. But it should
not soar so far that it cannot see the
practical, everyday necessities of life
that must be met and conquered by
these same children
The young girl and boy with too
much imagination make the same mis-.
take. They are always going to do
some wonderful and great thing in
life, but the practical. humdrum work
at hand is not the portal to It, And
thus their imagination leads them like
a will O. the wisp ever pursuing but
never accomplishing; whereas it
should so beautify and glorify the
homely duty at hand that it enables
them to see in this the road to their
land of desire, and to enjoy every step
of the way thither.

BRAssIERE OF A NEW MODEL

Many stout women object to wear
ing the brassiere because of It's
warmth. A new model that gives the
same support takes the place of a cor
set cover and is comfortable and cas-
lily adjusted.
The lower part is of heavy muslin,
or longcloth, cut in two parts, the
front heavily boned and made firm
with bias strappings, the backs cut
to overlap and form a V at the neck.
Tapes on the end go through an eye
let at the side and tie in front.
The brassiere comes just to the
waist line, and is held down firmly
by tab and nickel hook that slides
over one of the corset hooks.
The top of front is cut in a straight
line reaching from under the arms at
the side seam, and above it is a trim
med yoke of sheerer material, made
of alternate strips of insertion and
handwork. Lace and beading finishes
the edge.
One advantage is the reinforcement
under the arms with a shield-shaped
piece of the material. Stout women
who rub their underwaists into holes
find this welcome.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

serene conversation hourished. It
was not considered courteous to let
your attention wander. Nowadays no
one ever listens to any one else. They
listen to themselves, to the CONVERSE
ton of another couple near them, but
rarely to the person who is talking to
them.
A casual manner seems the height
of modern smartness, but it does not
gain one friends. The girl who wants
friends must have a wholesome inter-
est in other people, she must be will
ing to keep her own point of view &C.
casionally in the background while
she listens intelligently to some one
else expounding theirs, and she should
avoid frequent Interruptions. They
are discOurteous and annoying and al
ways leave a sense of irritation be-
hind them.
But the girl who has cultivated her
capacity to listen sends one away
with a feeling of solicitation and sat
isfaction, and you can gain friends
that way much quicker than by talk
ing yourself, no matter how cleverly
you may talk.

some hours, repeat the process and

pressing will make it look like new.
Fine illusion, chiffon and similar ma
terials may be cleaned in this way,

LITTLE TEA DISHES.

Fancy cakes may be had in such
variety in most communities that it
hardly pays to make them. On the
other hand, there are always little
emergencies where the home-baked
product is the only one easily avail
able and at such times it is we'll to,
remember that some very delectable
ones are easily done.
For instance, plain white cake made
by any preferred recipe can be baked
in shallow pans and cut while warm
into squares, oblongs, triangles, etc
These shapes are dipped in either
chocolate or maple fondant and are
then heavily sprinkled with chopped
nuts
