CATION has revealed as the probable
origin.
Few great innovations break out in
only one place. Human beings are apt
to think of the same things at the
same time, expressing their ideas in
inventions; which are practically dupli-
Gates of one another, which coincidence
accounts in part for the Obscurfty
which shrouds the origin of the picture
post card.
Emanuel Hermann, of Vienna, is
claimed to have invented it in. 1870, Yet
it is possible that at the same time he
had never heard of its invention by
Frenchman, in the same year.
There is another claim that gunner
named schwartz made the first Illus
trated card in 1870. using gard board
with a stamp and an address on one
side, and making an original drawing
of himself and gun on the reverse.
Tie honor or The blame, as some
picture-ridden souls might can II, now, now
ever, seems rightly to go to one man;
of whose card there is fac-simile ana
written record, the Frenchman-
First Card Made In 1870.
Forty-three years ago, lin 1870, well
nearing gentleman named Leon Bes-
nardeau, made small souvenir print
on cardboard, to be given out to the
soldiers of the Camp de Conlie, Armee
of Bretagne, commemorating the war
of 1870. This was the first souvenir
picture post card. the insignificant little
piece of paper which started all of the
millions fiying back and forth over the
civilized world today. Right then ana
there a national worldwide disease
was brought to life, which found Its
way into every corner of the globe In
thousand different forms.
AS am industry, its educational value
is unparalleled. its effect upon human
beings from an artistic standpoint can
not he properly gauged. and its proper
ties as a time saver have. given 1t
hold that will never be broken.
From being means of presenting
pictures of scenes of all parts of the
world and Of all manner of industries,
the picture post card is claimed by
MANY dealers of experience to have
been the natural forerunner OF the
moving picture. 1t surely paved the
U.av' for il as far as arousing interest
goes. and is even at this period more
powerful and penetrating power Tor
good.

The best reason for having a

education it gives. The entertainment
while varied and attractive must be
only incidental.
There will come to our Chautauqua
a speaker who will do more good IN
her great lecture of one houf
and a half, than is often gained by
months of ordinary reading. Her per-
sonality is attractive being very much
like that of Frances Willard who, by
the way, inspired Miss Kearney to be-
come a lecturer She has Travelled IN
nearly all parts Of the world and her

as a speaker. She will make her day

THE BABY WHO RoMPED WITH
DAD,


Oh. little girl with the braids grown
And the laughing lips and the heart OF
song,
And the slim, cool hands, each night
you wait
AS you always have by the arbored
gate;
But when your daddy turns in the
No more you scamper on dancing feet,
With wind-blown curls and your arms
out So
AS on yesterday-ever so long ago!
Nay, now you stand waiting him tall
and straight
And self possessed, and you swing the
gate
To let him through, and you tippytoe
For his kiss, the arm in his arm you go
Up the garden walk where the red rose
bends
Each rose in the garden and you are
And you smile at the world and the
world looks glad:
But where is the baby who romped
with Dad?
Oh. where is the babe with her rush
and shout,
And her hair blown wild and her arms
With the little hurt where she slipped
and fell,
Which only the kiss of her dad made
well?
She stands wide-eyed with her lips
apart,
Her hands clasped over her fiuttered
heart
With her fluffy curls in a shining
strand,
And gazes into the Grown-up Land
And just last evening a tall youth
stood
BY the gate with her, and the distant
wood
shone green and gold in the setting
sun,
And a bird in its shadowy deeps-1ust
one
THRILLED a low, sweet note to departing
day;
And she stood and watched when he
turned away
Then she ran, arms wide, where her
father smiled
And chung to him like a little child.
And he knew-and, knowing, his eyes
grew dim
How much 91a h, of that loving was meant
And he stood that night by her snowy
bed,
AS she slept, one arm meath her little
head,
And he thought long thoughts, and his
heart was sad
For the little girl who had run to Dad
With happy shout on those far-off
nights,
For the kiss healed bruises and pillow

MISS HALLMARK ON THE

in the Atlanta Journal, about the new
coat:
these days that look like coats that the
onlooker can hardly tell which is
which. 1t is a good idea to make them
this way, and it came about from the
popularity of the tunic and the pan
nier.
Some of the frocks look as though
they We're skirts and Russian blouses
combined. while others seem to be belt
ed coats with fitted peplums that have
a way of springing out from the hips
at one side or at both. No matter
what the shape of this simulated coat
there is always a belt. In truth il is
hard TO see a genuine coat that has not
a belt somewhere, either across the
back or in the form of sash ends that
start at the under arm seams and are

BREAKFAST PARTY
ON THE PORCH,

A southern hostess who wished to
entertain in honor of two guests de-
ctded to give a porch breakfast. as her
porch, facing the southwest, was the
most pleasant spot where she could
receive her friends. She decorated the
porch with vines and foliage from the
woods. AT the end, where they could
get just a peep of the early sun, u
trellis of vines was arranged, and here
and there among the leaves We're
twined morning glories. True, these
had been made, but with great care,
and in their leafy sheath looked well
The guests had been asked to wear
white, and these flowers We're the only
touch of color. Green rugs were on
the floor. Three tables We're placed,
each for six guests. A dish of maiden
hair fern was in the center of each
ia BILE, and the number of the table was
shown by one, two or three morning
glories hidden among the ferns
Number One table was the station of
the hostess and the two honor guests.
The other guests drew place cards or
namented with water cOlored morning
glories and tied with green ribbon.
These cards bore the list of courses
and opposite each was the number Of
the table at which the course was to
be eaten. The guests moved in threes,
and each trio enjoyed one course with
the hostess and honor guests.

Headache is one of the most common
symptoms of womanly trouble. Back
ache, sideache, nervousness, sleepless-

II you have any of the above synp-
toms, don't neglect them-do as Mrs.
Melhorn advises-take Cardui the
woman's tonic. She knows what it will
do, for it made her WELL after she had
tried other treatments in vain.
Cardui is a purely vegetable gentle

successfully used for more than so
years.
