Seed Pearl Collars.

One notices more and more that beads
are taking the place Of artificial jewelry,
and that all kinds of dainty little knicl1-
knacks are being fashioned to meet up
to-date requirements in this direction.
Quite new are some bow brooches made
of dyed wooden beads and cabochons
that look fascinating when used to fasten
lace, jabots or fancy blouses, while there
is nothing short OF q furore for those
charming tridescent and tiny steel bead
necklaces, in the form Of high dog coll
lars with fancy bead supports. that are
worn over lace collars on q bare neck
Made in alternate rows of gold and
white, or silver and white, such collars
are very chic. but they must be made TO
measure In order to ht well. Some quite
new collars that look like tiny seed pearl
necklaces are now being made TO wear
with the fashionable collarless dresses
and blouses- These are eminentiy suited
to young girls requirements, and stand
high in favor just now.

The cynics say that every rose
Is guarded by a thorn which grows
To spoil our posies.
But no pleasure therefore lack;
I keep my hands behind my back
When smelling roses.
'Tis proved that Sodom's apple tarts
Have ashes as component parts
For those who steal them.
My soul no disillusion seeks;
] love my apples rosy cheeks,
But never peel them.
Though outwardly a gloomy shroud,
The inner half OF every cloud
Is bright and shining;
therefore turn my clouds about
And always wear them inside out,
To show the lining.
Our idols feet are made OF clay;
So stony-hearted critics say
With scornfui mockings;
My images are deified,
Because / keep them weil supplied
With shoes and stockings.
My modus operandi this
To take no heed OF what's amiss;
And not a bad one.
Because, as Shakespeare used to say.
A merry heart goes twice the way
That tires a sad one.

Chtldren the Binding Tie.
As you look over the backward Iife
road OF this mother of yours you may
be tempted to turn to yourself with
question Of why she has gone on until
niw in such an environment at your let
Ter describes. and at the same moment
II is likely that you will find that you
and your sisters have been the binding
tie to the man who never smiles or
gives a pleasant word"
And so, my dear, IL you can see no
better way try the one suggest. Take
the mother who has become so cross out
CT herself. Take her from the influence
of the morose influence in your home
for a little while each day. See that
something OF recreation and pleasure
comes to her now, even though the day
for her pleasure is late.
For every inch of cheer you bring into
her life you will create q yard for your
self.
The discussion of the parents inappre-
citation never leads to the remedy for an
unhappy condition. And II is the reme-
dy with which We are most concerned. 4
/ once knew a girl who was excep-
tionally successful in business, and quite
financially able to care for her mother.
She, too, had gone Through years OF
gloom in her home hours when her
father had no good thing 10 say to any
member of the family.
So she went to him frankly one day
and told him the meaning OF life as she
saw it. one OF good cheer, OF happy work.
of helping one another along the way.
Of making the little home nest the
brightest spot in all the world. She point
ed out TO him that the realization OF
these ideas were possible to neither her
self nor her mother in the presence of
his moroseness. discomfort. and continu-
Gus criticism. She pointed out two ways
TO him. The one was share in her de-
termination 10 alter the unhappy home
conditions. The second was a firm re-
solve to make a brighter. happier home
for her mother than he had done in
event he failed now to help her. The
man was furious and spoke TO her in
terms so harsh that she made the change
at once, renting a little apartment. and
taking her mother with her there, where
she surrounds her with her own bright
bappy-hearted friends.
DesoIatIOn Conquered.
Life settled down over the lonely man
Ike a hideous pail. Pride fought with
utter desolation. And in the end desola-
ton conquered. The new and spiritual
man was born and the little family was
reunited. In the new life the bright
friends continued, and the home became
one OF the happiest, most peaceful places
in all the world. and 1t all came through
a strong girls determination that
the whole life should not be blackened
