 There is something charmingiy fenintnee and personal about the per- furne one uses We soon become familiar vg6th the different kinds us- ed by our friends Good perfume IS expensfxe-at first cost, but a little will go a. long way if used with care NO one, no matter how much @ne must ecomomize. should buy cheap perfumes
 I remember fifteen or sixteen years ago, when perfume was so much in vogue, the son1y way it was applied was to pour about a. thimbleful on the front of the gown. This in some eases stained the delicate material, applied carefully. sensioly, and not so
 The best way to perfume ones clothes is tos have sachet pads to fold among the garments Then the per furr1e will not ibe too heavy.
 perf1r11sed hair is a dainty fad Ono may perfume the hair by means of a fboudodr cap lined with perfurned cot t ton Or one may have her favorfte sachet sprinkaed into the band of a dress cap for evening wear It Is easy to acuu1res a dainty perfume to Ffhe hair, and it'is so sweet that every w or1anss hair should be scented with her favorfte perfume
 The way to apply perfume to the skin Is to mofyten tiny bit of cot ton batting with it and pat this on in hack of the ears, above the temples, i under the chinss and about the ncstr1ls. There will be sufficient perfume but i 1t will not be as heavy as if applied to the garments

Ae worried as to making his living thought because he was young. June, he was going to leave me because ne thought we had been going together long enough to we'd in a year or so. He barely made ends meet at home I couldn't let him go, I loved him I kept from him my age. He hated to have a girl older than he was, and thought was twenty-tWo. I sup posed if he asked my folks they would tell him. My kin kicked because I'd have to live with his folks, whom he supported He made $75 per month My folks said young folks should live by themselves. I lost my position My folks depend on me. Lover and I fused over trifies; became es- tranged. He went off. We met on a card. I phoned for him to come and see me He would only meet me af- ter work Treated me coo1lys spoke Of my age, said we were better apart as did not want to. live with his folks Calling at his house, I found another girl there. He says he's go- ing with others to try to forget me. I must forget him. Could all his love have died2 I could have lived any vahere-been happy with him I love. Please, tell me how to get back his love

Mrs. Humphrey Ward, Plans
 Parliament For Women.

Some years ago pr. Thomas Hum phry Ward, the famous English art critic. editor and author. attended, a banquet, during the course of which the lady who sat next to him re- marked. Some ancient people de- clared that it was possible for men to render thenselves invisible
 That is still quite possible,'' de- clared pr. Ward.
 .sBut how can a. man make him self invisible ?" asked the mystihed
 By marrying a famous wife, was the critics explanation.
 Certain it is that, although the name of Humphry Ward is not with out prominence, it is best known with the Mrs prefix. Mrs. Humphry Ward, famed throughout the world as the author of Robert EIsmereY and many other novels, was born in Hobart, Tasmania, sixty-three years ago to-day, June Il, 1851 Dr. tinguished as an author and educa- tor, andSwas the son of the famous pr. Thomas Arnold of Rugby, and the brother of Matthew Arnold, the poet. critic, and Apostle of Culture
 Mary Augusta Arnold became Mrs fIumphry Ward in 1S72, and it was not until eight years later that she wrote her first book, a story for chill dren- Her first novel; Miss Breth- erton, of which Mis- Mary Ander- son. the actress. was the prototype of the heroine. was published thirty years ago. and Robert Elsmere,'' one of the most talked of novels of the century, followed four years later.
 Mrs. Ward, for all her advanced views in some directions, is pro suffrage, although she has been one of the prime movers in a scheme for 1 a stwomen's parliament" an unofficial advisorym body of ten women who would consider and press forward needed legislation on behalf of wo- men and children" Tn a recent state ment of the purposes of this move ment, Mrs. Ward said:
 fIn the proposed joint advisory committee, composed of members of Parliament and women social work CTS, ten women are to represent. as both the Ministerial and Unionist par ties and both sides of the women s suffrage question:
 The members of the House of Com mons who have interested themselves in the plan for ia progressive policy in women's questions'' are quoted by Mrs. Ward as having asked for the formation t'of a committee of women which will allow us to keep in touch with them and which will collect and digest exact information on questions concerning women and children which might come before Parlia- nent." The law makers laid down as a condition, for the sake of se- curing true cooperation on urgent matters of social reform" that "wo- man suffrage must be excluded from the debates and action of the com mittee."
 "It is proposed," wrote Mrs Ward, that a joint committee should meet in London at the House of Commons at regular intervals. Various com mittees are being formed to deal in detail with different bills before Par liament, which are concerned with 1 the welfare of women and children. These subcommittee will report to 1 the joint advisory committee, which will deliberate and take action on these reports"
 Leaders of the militant suffra gists scoff at this scheme, and declare they l will have nothing whatever to do with

 The fox thought he knew everything and laughed at all the rest. or course he did know a great deal but it was a very foolish thing to brag, as he did.
 One day a stork walked down to the edge of the stream to see if he could not catch a big fat nsh for his din- ner. Just across on the other side of the brook was the box trying to get his dinner.
 .sGood morning. said the fox. Are you. here to catch fish? know what a. great fisherman you are You new CT go hungry for you are so clever
 MT. Stoe1 was clever in other ways than fishing and when the fox said: he smiled and said: Yes indeed s' and dipped his long bill into the water snapped it together and brought up a big. fat fish.
 Every cleyer,'' said the fox, q won der how you can do it and as you are so kind as to catch it, please let me get it ready for us to eat.
 Again the ,Stork smiled and said: :: 'tNo, know how to fix a fish to eat as well as to catch them.''
 The fox had thought he would get the stork to catch the fish then he would be able to get it away from him and have it all to himself.
 ''I will be glad to help you,' said the fox, and walked toward the fish str1o thank you'' said the Stork and as he said it he swallowed the at one mouthful.
 tI thought we were to share the fish, said the fox ass he looked at him, but MT. Stork said: .I would have been glad to have done so but saw that you thought by your clev- CT tricks you could get it all, and so ate it myself"
