fellow on the street, his wife may rot
like it,"
You can pick up man on the
street corner. but find your future hus-
band in your mothers parlor.'

Ingenious Decorative Idea.

Bertha Merfield, an Australian artist.
has an ingenious idea for decorating
homes. She uses door panels, alcoves
and convenient parts of the walls for
decorative purposes. She paints on
the walls landscape scenes, bits OF
fora and fauna typical of the country
In which the house Is situated. Miss
Merfeld would go still further, how
ever, and have the furniture and the
hangings harmonic with the wall
decorations. Miss Merfield thinks that
this phase of art has not been de-
veloped as much as it should, and be-
lieves that In the next 20 years many
women will take up such work as their
life professions. With the building of
luxurious houses. she says, there will
1e<a greater demand for artists who
make specially of decorating and
furnishing homes.

NATION SAVED BY A SPIDER
Scotland Profited by tho Lesson the
Insect Taught to Its
Monarch.

Scotland has many legends that the
sheepherders and highland peasants
never get tired repeating long time
ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland
before that country became a part of
England, and he learned lesson from
a spider that enabled him to succeed
when otherwise he would have failed.
King Bruce had lost many battles.
He was discouraged. He had made
his final effort against his enemies
and failed to vanquish them. Deep In
despair he went to lonely room in
his castle. Reclining on the couch
and thinking, he happened to notice
a spider drop from the ceiling on a
single silken cord. He watched tho
spider fascinatingly. 1t now began it's
ascent. 1t slipped. Time and time
again it tried to mount, but each time
1t failed. The king watched intently.
forgetful of all else. An hour passed.
Finally the spider succeeded. 1t was
IN inspiration for King Bruce. Why
should he get discouraged, having
tried only few times and failed? He
made one last grand rally against his
enemies and routed them, and from
this incident came the old saying, '1f
at first you don't succeed try again"
