"The Brave Old OAK

Whether it's branches show green
against a dark-blue sky-gold whers
the sunlight touches them-whether
its leaves show magenta in the light
OF the setting sun, or black and silver
in the moonlight, there il no tree Of
them all to compare with the oak!
All q summers day you may lie
stretched beneath it, 80 strong and so
friendly, not to you only, but to ali
the little lives that swarm about it's
roots. All kinds OF busy creatures,
ants, spiders, daddy-long-legs, beloved
of your childhood, go scurrying over.
You on this errand and that, as un-
afraid, almost, as IL You were dead
A feeling Of kinship comes to you:I
q knowledge that all this life about
you in oak and grass and insect, and
the good dog lying at your feet, is but
a little part of the ageless aux and
reiux: B~oothingly as a cool hand ON
an aching head, there comes 10 you
the realization that soon, fears, hates.I
and loves forgotten, your tired body
shall rest under the trees all the days
and ell the nights-Atlantic.

USE OF MOURNING BORDERS
There Are q Few Set Rules, But Indbi

. The average person chooses her
mourning borders by individual taste
rather than by rule and rarely
changes the width until second mourn,

Good taste avoids the haunting Of
grief and rarely countenances q Dor

sven for a widow. Even this Is q trtfs
wide; three-sixteenthR Of an inch ID
Q better width for widows, parents
or children, and an eight Of an inch
for a sister or brother.
The paper used is dead white linen
Of plain weave and lusterless. II ID
bad form to have q mourning border
on striped Or fancy paper, even
though the color is kept white. Where
. transparent paper IL liked, as for
foreign correspondence or to save
postage, besides the border there ID
q separate lining of black tissue pa

Addresses and monographs are
often stamped In unrelieved black;
Some persons prefer them embossed
in relief without color, especially II
there be telephone and telegram num-

instead of the word telephone or tsle'

or by the box, containing several
Quires. AS there is usually a reduc,

Correspondence cards carry the

HAS A LARGE VOCABULARY
Number Of Words used by Small
Child VIII Surprise One Who
10 Not q Close Observer.

How many words does the ordinary
child know? Fifty Wrong. Al hun,
dred? Wrong again. Five hundred,
for a wild guess? A little nearer, but
not much. The truth is that people
underestimate the number Of worda
their children a speak.
Take q paper and pencil, follow the
child for several days, several weeks,
putting down every new word that ID
uttered. You'll ind out some things
that will surprise you. And when the
word child is used, IL does not refer
TO. a boy or girl OF seven or eight, but
one of three.
An investigation recently made BY
following a child at that age and not
ing every word that was used, showed
that 1t had memorized 1,771 different
words. They covered practically
everything with which the child came
in contact, aud were words the child
had never heard before.
Another investigation Of words used
by children between I year and 19
months old showed that the lowest vo'
cabulary that Was reported Included
the use OF SO words. The highest waa
232 words. From two years on. the
vocabulary Of a child Increases rapid,
w. until at three years the average
child has . vocabulary Of ct least 1.00d
words.

the local Fine Arts club and thinks
that the Idea of organizing a club
along the ines of the Fine Arts club
is al excellent idea. She says in part:
Perhaps the ideal club of North Da-
kota is realized in the Fine Arts club
at Fargo. Like the Williston Civic
league it is a federation of clubs in
itself, with It's many different attrac-
tive departments. In q small town this
furnishes the best solution of club life
If serious study and work are to be
considered and If unselfish labor for
the benefit of the community is to be
expended. In a club like the Fine Arts
at Fargo there are sections that appeal
directly to each member and she can
take her choice and study along ths
special lines that interest her most. She
can also help in it's public work when
she feels so inclined by contributing
her share to its ~civics, charity, music
and art departments.
