Jerry from Australia-that was all !
was destined to know.
The next day he rang me up to
say very briefly, 81 love you, Murry
Peckford-" and so it went until his
mother caught him one afternoon and
poured her unnecessary apologies
into my ear. 1t all came about be-
cause Jerry had seen me on the
screen and his mother had held his
hand while he printed his name in
the book outside the Sydney The
alter. Tell hurry Peckford | buyed
her cup and saucer" he prompted
his mother.
Every child in Sydney who wrote
his name in that book thought it waf
he who was buying the loving cup"
explained Jerry's mother. My hus-
band was an official there, and he told
me it was the first time the official
seal of Sydney was stamped on any
thing besides legal document"
End of course this all helped to
make me prouder and happier of the
wonderful token of friendship. As
have written to my Australian friends,
the silver cup on my dresser is boon
to my spirit, and has made me more
than ever want to embody in my pic
lures my message of love to the
world.

BIOGRAPHY

He that writes the life Of another is
either his friend or his enemy.
He will either e1alt his praise or mag
nifty his infamy.
And therefore, Biography for the most
part is valuelcss, because II is untrust-
worthy.
Between fsIsehood and useless truth
there is little difference.
Gold which a man connot spend Will
not make him rich; and knowledge which
he cannot apply will not make him wise
One Autobiography of Benjamin Frank
lin is worth a thousand Lives Of Wash
ington by Weems.
The biography a man writes of himself
is the only Worthwhile life story.
Biography is simply history as II re-
lates to an individual.
And the man who sets out 70 write his
own life has the first qualification OF a
historian-knowledge OF the truth.
II may be objected that a man is
tempted to aEsrandize his subject when
writing his own biography, but I doubt
this for two reasons:
First the certainty OF knowledge which
he naturally possesses about himself
tends to exclude mistakes and promote
truth.
And second, no man cares to become
a liar in the eyes OF the generations that
will follow
Autobiography is the only Trustworthy
biography, for in II a man goes on rec
ord over his own signature, thereby in
surfing veracity.
Men will utter lies, but few will write
them.

HoW to Safely

for ar ounce Of mercOlized wax; you

II you wear wrinkles or crows

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
WITH READY MADES.

The resdy-made clothes OF today are
so worth while in every respect that few
Of us have any prejudice against buying

that can be made to ready-made coats.
frccks, suits and blouses OF the less eX-
pensive sort.
To begin with, whenever a ready-made
garment comes into your house, get a
needle and thread and Tighten it up.
Begin with the buttons. Fasten them all
on securely. Then see IL there are any
loose ends of threads that need tying. II
united threads are cut off short over
hand the ends OF the seams or in some
other way catch the threads securely.
In the second place, see IL a few stitches
will make the garment more becoming or
a better fit Sometimes the sleeve OF a
coat will be half an inch too short and
this shortness will spoil the appearance
Of the coat from the first to the last day
you wear II. The needed length can BE-
easily obtained by ripping off the cuff
and setting It down a bit as rule. And
IL the sleeve Is too long, the cuff can be
set up little. II the waist OF a frock
Is too loose. it can be frightened. and
often il the hips are too tight, they can
be made the necessary inch or so larger
by ripping out the seams and sewing
them up again with a narrower margin.
or else by letting out pleat or tucks.
Then. in the third place. IL there is
some bit OF cheap lace or other detail on
the ready-made garment that makes II
look cheap replace it with something of
better quality.
Often becoming collar of net or tulle
can be bought for a dollar or so and
substituted for the cheap frill of cotton
lace that edorns the ready-made frock.

Thursday, March 81, 1910.
According to astrology this is a most
unfortunate day. Mars, Venus, Uranus
Saturn. Jupiter and the Sun are all ad-
verse.
Under this rule mental depression and
loss of confidence are common. The
wise will pursue routine affairs.
Mars may cause acute crises in strikes
and labor troubles of every sort. There
is indication OF Scholastic aggression that
may result seriously.
Owing to the sinister power Of Uranus,
every kind of fraud is likely to be en-
couraged. Credit men are warned to
be exceedingly cautious.
A daring piece of deception that will
involve government officials Is FORE
Swallowed.
Litigation is under an unfavorable d.
rection. Judges and lawyers of every
rank may find today most difficult and
disappointing.
Theaters have the demonstration OF Ill
luck while this configuration prevails.
Fires are to be guarded against.
Discredit and scandal are indicated in
the horoscope of a public man in WASH
ington, who represents a foreign nation
Canada will do honor to a hero who
will make a lasting name by a daring
summer.
Suffrage continues under a forbidding
sign and controversies among leaders
are again presaged.
Loss of prestige for western woman
who is most conspicuous is Indicated.
Diseases of cattle are likely to cause
losses to breeders before the end of the
summer.
Success for new health resorts is prog
nosticated. Canada will attract many
visitors this year, it is declared by the
seers.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
rather a threatening augury for the year
Disappointment or sickness may occur
in the domestic circle. IS
Children born on this day may have
many obstacles to overcome in business
Girls should be guarded against hasty
marriage.

Friendship TO a little American girl

While we should look upon the chill

10000 names written in it, and it was
explained TO me that during the week
in which Tess of the Storm Coun-
TRY" had been presented at a Ia cal
theater a box had been placed in
front of the theater in which penny
subscriptions might b. dropped, the
proceeds of this subscription to be
used for purchasing the silver cup
which was sent to me. Each person
dropping a penny in the box was also
asked to write his or her name in the
