Paradox in Travelling Men.

Why jolly-natured drummer"
should always be selected to push a
funeral line of merchandise and the
somber-natured individuals the "joy
lines" is one of the mysteries of the
trade.
The jolliest-natured men of the road
who come to the travelling mems no.
tells are those engaged in selling
funeral drapery and burial vaults. On
the other hand, the most funereal look
ing men are those engaged in pushing
diamonds, French wines and Holsters.
The conventional idea of diamond
drummer or q wine merchant is a gay
spark in plaid clothes. At least that's
the way they're always represented in
musical comedy. On the stage the dia-
mond merchant is always seen wearing
'em wherever he can find vacant place
on his attire. In real life the aim of
the true diamond merchant is to loo
as little like diamonds and as much
like an animated funeral as possible

CroSsbar taffetas, in soft Weaves,
made up in simple designs, are among
the unpretentiOus afternoon gowns that
make an instant appeal to most wOm-
en-. There are several models of this
character among almost every repre-
sentative showing of spring styles. The
silks appear in all the cOlOrS used this
season, with crOssbarS in fine lines of
white. They look like fine ginghams
translated into silk. Designers take
their cue from this suggested likeness
and a sort of playful resemblance to
an apron is evident in some of the new
dress models.
A typical frock of crOssbar taffetas
is shown in the accompanying picture.
1t is one piece, but has the effect of
an Overdress and skirt. There is a
panel extending the length of the dress
from neck to hem at the front and one
at the back. In the skirt portion, the
panels have plat at each side, but
in the bodice this is omitted. At each
side of the skirt larger pockets pro-
claim the frock as mindful of fash
ions requirements. They are gathered

Sober Uses of Time.

For all the fond and earnest inquiries
of the psychists, we are no nearer a
true knowledge of disembodied per-
sonality than we have ever been since
Pythagoras. Primary origin, or crea-
ton. is as profound a mystery to us
as ever. The world alone is ours, and,
living, it limits our scopes and hopes.
Why are we in such mortal hurry

of its possession? Let us, in heavens
name, slow down, disintegrate and re-
cover, before too late, our ancient
sense of the sweet and sober uses OF

Last night. when someone spoke that

From my swift blood that went and came
A thousand burning shafts of flame
Went quivering through my trembling

My whole soul waited silently.
What's the use of a girl longing to
go to dances if young men pass her by
and persistently ask other girls to trip
the light fantastic toe? There's moth.
ing more embarrassing than to be al

1t is the same way with skating or be.
ing invited out for a walk. A girls
beauty does not seem to count. Pretty
girls wonder why they are passed by
for girls of fewer attractions. The
secret of the whole business lies in q
nutshell. Girls who are passed by are
known to be poor dancers. When
skating they give up trying to keep
their feet on the ice. AS for a stroll
they are quickly tagged out. Their
high-heeled shoes are more to them
than the pleasure and exercise would
be.
She who intends going to dances
should as soon as possible try to be-
come the best dancer in her set. Then
she would not become a wall-fiower
she may be sure. There would be @
scramble among the young men to see
which were fortunate enough to get
names on her card. It's a joy to q
man to dance with q girl who floats
around the room as light as feather
1t isn't every man who is good
dancer. A girl who can put him
through the PAGES successfully is 8
godsend. The less he knows about it
the less he will feel inclined to Offer
himself as partner to a girl who is
as poor dancer as himself. The cou
pie who can dance gracefully is ad
mired. Even their best friends tittel
at the awkward couple humping into
everyone, getting their feet trod upon.
With skating it's the same. The
young man who enjoys the sport keen
~ keeps out of the way of the Cir
who would make an amusing spectacle
of him on the ice. If young girl &C
cepts an invitation from young mar
to take walk. he expects that she viii
have on the proper footgear. If he i:
| irritated by young womans mincins

along. his pleasure is spoiled. III,
knows she is not enjoying it. He either

rather than to prolong the agony. 81,

young girls curls. That was all there
was about it! She was very young and
pretty. He thought of nothing beyond
that. Ten to one the girl had never
cooked a meal in her whole life. Many
a mother has such a way of keeping
her daughters white hands from Ia
bOriOus work. Notwithstanding that,
the girl plunges into housekeeping as
though it were the greatest fun, in
stead Of the solemnest, hardest of du-
ties.
The person who wrote the article on
housekeeping Made Easy" has lot
to answer for in giving doubtful ad-
vice to inexperienced young housekeep-
ers. She says: "a dinner can be got
up in twenty minutes. Warm over a
can of corn, which is three-fourths
cooked. A fve-cent carton of Sara
toga Clipped potatoes, needs but few
minutes warming over in the oven.
Delicatessen sliced tongue needs no
preparation. A pan of pork and beans
from the same store can be served cold

bubbling hot coffee fit for king! A
little luke-warm water, mixed with
flour, and 10, you have delicious bis
cults"
Why, wouldn't a bride consider that
she is getting out Of the tolls of house
keeping mighty easily! Blithely she
tries her hand in this sort of cooking.
But the frown on young hubby's face
tells her more plainly than words that
there's mistake somewhere. It doesn't
take long to have the new hubby sick
on her hands. He will have to go back
to mother, or she will have to learn to
cook good substantial meals in the old
fashioned way, to keep man fit for
work.
The first slap hubby gets at mother
in-law is: "Why the Sam Hill didn't
she teach her girl to cook?" OF course
she learns in time, but it takes time,
vexations, burned hands and aprons,
and tears. The Housekeeping Made
Easy" article did not mention that
there were dishes to wash and pots
and pans to scour. Every girl should
take course in housekeeping before
tripping gayly to the altar.

RAILWAY FARES LOW THEN
In England During 1867 Rates Were
at the Minimum Because of
Competition.

In calculating the recent big in
crease in railway fares, the powers
that be unfortunately took the present
day ordinary rates, remarks London
Eit-Bits. Travellers would have been
better pleased had they taken as a
basis the fares in vogue sixty years
ago. Competition then reacted most
beneficially for the traveller. During
che winter of 1861 the fare from
London to Peterborough was one shil-
ling. the distance being 76 miles, and
during the same period, the ordinary
return fare between York and London,
B77 miles, was IS Sd.
year later there was Il competitive
effort to capture the Manchester pas
scnger traffic, with the result that the
double journey OF 367 miles cost but

Mes became more commercial and less
