will be most impressive when you are in

for public presentation, the friendly waves
will hide your shortcomings.
~ There are two ways of entering the wa

daintily, a step at time, into the fear

attitude of man, the protector of femin-

The other method of entrance is more
violent, and in some ways more effective.

admire your agility, your strength and

Why to Avoid Cheap Wall
Paper

In choosing wall paper avoid cheap
papers of vivid green tints. These, espe-
cially the imported papers. sometimes con-
tain arsenic in sufficient quantities, so
that when bits of the paper flake off and
are inhaled through the nose or mouth,
they form serious menace to health.
There is simple way of finding out
whether wall paper contains arsenic or
not. Dip piece of the paper into sau
Ger of strong spirits of ammonia. II ar
senic Is present the green paper will grad
ually turn blue Ifsthe color changes only
slightly add little crystal of nitrate of
silver to the ammonia. This will cause
yellow sediment to form in the saucer
whenever the paper contains arsenic.
The amount of sunlight in room Is the
most important factor to be taken into
consideration in choosing a suitable wall

A Blessed Gift

That girl knew the secret of comfortable

lot so hard that II cannot be lightened
by the power to see the fun in it.
The humor sense is sometimes called
dangerous and the sobersides even deem
it frivolous. There Is no greater safety,
however. and the happy possessor should
deem himself blessed of the gods.
1t is said few women own a real sens>

Little Kittens Must Be
Treated Carefully

Growing kittens are like babies; they
must not be handled too much and they
must be allowed to sleep all they are
inclined to. They are very timid and

they should be treated very carefully,
so that their tendency to fear is over

won.

Why 1t It?

Why do fires burn with bluer fame in
wet weather?
Because the air contains less oxygen
in wet weather and makes the heat less
intense. The flame is blue because the
fuel is not fully consumed.
Why is a glass broken when hot water
is poured inside?
Because glass, being poor conductor
of heat expands on the inside when the
hot water strikes II before the heat can
equally expand the outside, and this I'M
equal expansion causes ii to break
Why can hot room be cooled more

Because the air at the top of the room

He married the footlight charmer and
took her to the ancestral halls of his
English home to try to make of her a

Sunrise Never Failed Us Yet

Upon the sadness of the sea
The sunset broods regretfully;
From the far lonely spaces slow
Withdraws the wistfu afterglow
So out of life the splendor dies;
SO darker all the happy Skies
So gathers twilight. cold and stern;
But overhead the planets burn.
And up the east another day
Shall chase the bitter dark away.
What though our eyes with tears be wet
The sunrise never failed as yet.
The blush of dawn may yet restore
Our light, and hope. and joy once more
Sad soul take comfort, nor forget
That sunrise never failed us yet

give advice. This is an age of advice-giv-

vice-giving to those about to wed. have
a fairly large circle of young married ac-
quaintances. and | am bound to say that
every now and then l seem to come across
the trial of the Advice Giver in the shape
of some examples of the result of Advice
Taken.
Far too much advice, there is no doubt,
is uttered by artistic people on this
really absolutely simple matter of house
interior decoration. The true homo in
terror is never created deliberately 1t

mulates, it develops. It grows and bios
