WINDOW SHADES THAT
WEAR LIKE BUCKSkLN.

Women everywhere will be inter
ested to know that a window shade
has at last been produced which will
stand up under any usage short OF
actual abuse without showing pin
holes or cracks-that will roll up true
and hang smooth without bagging;
that will retain it's good appearance
after years of service-in fact, that
will be replaced within one year if
it fails to measure up satisfactorily
to all of these requirements.
The trouble with the old shades
was that under the strain of daily
usage, the constant rolling up and
down (often with a tue or jerk the
''filling" with which the fabric was
stiffened would loosen and fall out
leaving the shade criss-crossed with
unsightly cracks, and filled with little
pinholes. Through these the sun and
light is sure to strickland shabby
window shades will rob the best-ap-
pointed room of its attractiveness.
Realizing this great weakness, one
of the leading window shade manu-
facturers of the country-The Talbert-
Whitmore Co. of Los Angeles-has,
after years of experimenting, pro-
duced an untitled shade which is des-
tined to revolutionize the window
shade industry. This wonderful shade
is now being produced for the market
under the name of "Three Star Dam
ask" 1t embodies all the good quail
ties to be desired in window shade
without any of the disadvantages of
the old shades.-Adv.

Not as It Sounded.

DR.. f. Osmond Carr has told a story
Of how. seeing one Of his own operas
advertised for performance ut Harro-
gate while he was on n visit to that
resort. he went In to see the perform
ance. Before the curtain rose an
nged invalid was carried into the
front row Of the stalls by stalwart at
PENDANTS, and left there. The COM
poser was gratified to see how the in
valid led the. applause after every
number. humping vigorously with the
stick with which he had been pro-
vided.
During the first intermissiOn, how
ever. the humping was continued, and
then the secret was out. The aged
playgoer had expected to see drama,
was disguised to find that the piece
was a comic opera and had been
knocking TO signal his attendants to
come and take him out.-LOndon

Take Only the Best.

''The best is none too good for me-"
Keep that thought in mind until the
habit Of claiming the best has become
fixed.
Some people have the idea that
cheap, sensational stories are good
enough for them, and so they I'LL their
minds with trash, while In the nearest
libraries the volumes u the worlds
choicest literature gather dust. They
say that ragtime is good enough for
them and cheaper their taste by lis
teninG TO the swing Of some catchy
composition. when good music is to be
had for the same price. In effect they
say that second-rute people are good
enough for them, and they associate
with the coarse and unprincipled, pass
ing by those with clean lives and lofty
aspirations.
Only the best is good enough for
you. That does not include big
houses and blazing diamonds. but II
does cover the finer sweeter things Of
existence. And the sad part is that
many who are satisfying themselves
with the husks, are tramplng under
foot the sweet, nutritious grain.

Ancient Herb Gardens.

The herb garden is no new thing,
and I'm the centuries gone the herbal
lists were regarded as men Of consid-
..rable distinction, and We're In numer-
Gus instances men Of considerable
learning, as knowledge Of the sciences
was measured in those remote times.
The herbalist was bottnlst, pharmacist
and physician, raising his own herbs,
making from them his own medicines
and administering them TO his own pa
tents. A number Of the gardens OF
these old herballsts nre historic, few
Of them have been preserved in Eu-
rope, and In more than one instance a
great botanical garden has been de
veloped out Of what was once a herb
