unnecessary. The bluebird itself would
then be singing in ones heart.
For madame yes, 1t is easy to find the
bluebird but how about the thousands Of

SAVING TOILET TABLES
NEED FCR MATERIAL UNDER THE
 EMBROIDERED COVER.
Idea Is to Prevent Disaster When Liquids Are Spilled - Rubber Sheetine, While Expensive at
 First, Really Economical.

AS a rule, 1t is not the mere spill ing of liquid on ones pretty em' proidered bureau. dressing table or washstand covers that spells them. but the instant effect of that moisture on the vanished surface beneath. ID fully nine cases out of ten-on the dressing table, at least-the cause of disaster Is toilet water, tincture of benzoin, spirits of camphor, or some similar article with the alcohol base. that at once dissolves the varnish It touches and makes a nasty mark on the linen above.
 Where the old-fashioned washstand. with its bowl and pitcher and soap dish, is used instead of stationary one with running water, the splashes. while less disastrous, have to be tax. en at once into account. as even wa ter standing more than a few min utes will make sad blemishes on pol ished wood.
 Many housekeepers put folded pa per under the embroidered covers, but this was never more than a make shift. Even sheets of plotting paper. recently recommended. can only part ly arrest the possible damage where alcohol has been spilled. as that fluid will penetrate with rapidity and even few drops are able to eat into the varnish.
 A far better protection Is given by some of the waterproof fabrics now to be had Rubber sheeting, covered with fabric on either side, while expensive in comparison with plotting paper. is true economy in the end, as it is odor- less and impervious to all moisture. Next to this. in point of desirability, would be a sheet of oiled silk-but this would need an undercover of plain muslin, to keep it from sticking to the wood In case anything warm happened to be set on the bureau or stand.
 Still less expensive would be ordi nary whits table oilcloth. but if this be chosen. 1t Is wisdom not to use il while perfectly new. as 1t has rather a pungent odor until after 1t has been exposed to the air for some time aft CT leaving the store This, too, would require a cover of muslin or white pa per on its waterproof side. but, like the other two materials mentioned, it affords perfect security and Is well worthy the attention of any one to whom the welfare of fine linen covers is a matter of interest.

Footpaths on Road to Peace.

To be glad of life. because 1t gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars; to be satisfied with your pos sessions. but not contented with your self until you have made the best of them; to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except cowardice; to be governed by your admirations rath- CT than by your disgusts; to covet nothing that Is your neighbor's except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends and ev- cry day of Christi and to spend as much time as you can with body and with spirit, in Gods out-of-doors- these are little guideposts on the foot path of peace.-Henry Van Dyke.

MACARONf IN WELSH RABBIT
By Many, the Combination Is Consid. cred Superior to That In
 General Use.

new rabbit mixture for the chafs Ing dish contains macaroni 1t Is real' ly fine. Cut the macaroni in inch length pieces and boil in salted water as usual. When tender put 1t In the chafer with cup of grated cheese to every cup of the macaroni. Add two tablespoons of butter. a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon each of pa- prika and pepper. When this is all hot and creamy and the cheese melted add three well beaten eggs mixed in cup of rich cream, stir faithfully until the eggs are set then serve hot on fresh-made toast.
 For a splendid rabbit without ale use one tablespoon of butter, one pint cup of cheese grated, juice of one lemon, seasoning of salt, pepper, cay' enne and paprika (the exact amount will depend on the flavor of the cheese). the yolk of one egg beaten and mixed with four tablespoons of cream. Mix in the order given and at the end, just before serving. and 8 few drops of tabasco sauce.

MODEST COlORS WILL RULE
Simple Decorative Schemes Are In Order for the Coming Year,
 According to Report.

Already the question of house clean- Ing Is being debated by thrifty house. wives, and the new chintzes and cre> tonnes are being eagerly anticipated. Last season pattern and color ran riot, and there was great popularity for black backgrounds on which bright colorings and large. bold designs were the correct taste.
 Now we are to return to simpler decorative schemes and to small ef- fleets and neat patterns. Light grounds will be favored almost entirely cov- cred by patterns of fruit. flowers and birds.
 A new fadeless fabric for curtains is to be one of the specialties of the season. This will withstand the glare of suns and remain impervious to the eccentricities of every climate. It Is made in a range of pretty colors. both plain and patterned. and is quite inex- pensive

 Agatha looked amazed and some what disconnected to find herself in the midst of beautiful private gar den. Narrow walks hedged with green led away from the wide ex- panse of pansy beds toward an i'm posing house half-hidden among the distant trees.
 Don, dear. I'm afraid we're tres passing" she was saying when the child paused at the entrance to path and looked back at her with complete happiness upon his chubby face
 Mother, dear! It is the garden of magic flowers and here comes the prince! And I guess-it's the king with him!" he ended rather timidly as two men stepped from the path and looked from the handsome lad to the beautiful. sad-eyed little widow in her black garments
 The elder man was tall and stately of carriage and had stern, sorrowfui, dark eyes that flashed wonderfully when they fell upon the intruders. His hair was white as snow and he wore a mustache that added to his dignified appearance.
 The young man-the one whom Don had called the prince" was also tall, and he was handsome. too. in a ruddy Scotch way. with honest blue eyes that looked stern at first and then be- came as tender as a woman's
 Agatha looked surprised, then proud and scornful. and would have turned away had not the two men stepped hastily forward each with outstretch- ed hands
 "Daughter!" cried the elder man. "Agatha!" pleaded Sandy Mcintosh.
 Don. watching with curious eyes, saw his mothers face soften as it did when she looked at him. He saw tears come into her proud dark eyes and wash out the pain and sorrow from them. He saw the king and the prince and his mother all holding hands and kissing and he felt himself hugged and kissed and tossed upon the kings shoulders.
 Mother. has the magic garden cured you, too?" he called down.
 
 because her father was holding one of her hands and Sandy was holding the other.

REPLACE THE PLATE DOILlES
Table Runners, a California Idea, Find Much Favor With Hostesses
 in the East.

Instead of plate doilies eastern hostesses are adopting the fashion of the table runners of the California women. White Japanese toweling with blue figures or blue with white fig- upes is bought in a roll of ten yards.
 Each roll Is cut Into five strips and the ends hemstitched, with initials facing the hem at each end
 The runners cross one another on the table, and are arranged so each guest has an end under the plate, cup and bread and butter plate With four at the table two runners are used, crossing. at right angles: with six, two strips are used across the table and two lengthwise.
 This toweling can be bought at any Japanese importers and Is inexpen, sive.

Notwithstanding all that I have suffered notwithstanding all the pain and weariness and anxiety and sor- row that necessarily enter into life, and the inward errings that are worse than all.

For more and moro am unwilling to make any gratitude to him what Is commonly called "a thanksgiving for mercies. flor any benefits or blessings that are peculiar to myself. or my friends, or indeed to any man Instead of this I would have it to be gratitude for all that be- longs to my life and being-for joy and sorrow. for health and sickness. for success and disappointment, for virtue and for temptation. for life and death; because believe that all is meant for good.-Orville Dewey.
