emotion swept across his heart at his
first meeting with her whom he was
to love evermore till death did them
part. Ninety-nine men out of hun
dred will confess to their wives. "Pm
blest if just know just how | hap

man can forget that most thrilling Of
all moments in his life he can forget
anything. Such men find II very easy
to forget their wlfe's or chlldrens
birthdays, realizing that remembrance

Many wives are glad to have the chill

Last, and by no means least, no man

REMEMBERED
and
FORGOTTEN O.,
By LAURA JEAN LlBBEY

THE heart is hard In nature and UNIT
For human fellowship, as being void
OF sympathy and therefore dead alike
To love and friendship both. that Is not
pleased
With sight of others enjoying life
Nor feels their happiness augment his
own"
At the beginning of the New Year
one should brush the dust Off his list
of friends, looking up those who have
dropped quietly out of ones everyday
life without a very good reason for
II Making new acquaintances is usu-
ally an easy matter. But to nurture
those acquaintances until they bios
som into friends, cemented by loyalty
and constancy, Is different problem.
A man or woman may count nc
quaintances by the score-people who
invite them 90 their homes TO dine, to
theater party, or merrymaking-yet
they are still acquaintances only.
Friendship means much more than
this, while few actually understand 1t.
Many one has counted up hundred
so.called friends today. But If adver-
sity assails one tomorrow there may
not be one heart among the many one
could turn to for solace and cheer.
Not one pair of hands would be ex-
tended to draw one in from the cold,
the storm and darkness, If one is sud
denly bereft of shelter Past benefits
are not remembered. Acqualntances
find 1t easy to forget. Only friends re-
member the past and its halowed
memories.
A woman will remember every detail
of her courtship-where she first met
her lover, their introduction, the i'm
preston she formed Of him at first
sight. She even remembers what her
reveries were and her wonderment as
to whether or not he thought of her.
She remembers each call he made; all
that was said or done; how she had
detected his growing love for her even
before he guessed 1t himself. She re-
members the hour of their bethrothal
and the conversation that brought It
quite unexpectedly about.
AS for the man she married, not one
man In hundred can remember what

GOOD NEW YEAR ADVICE.
"The old familiar wish rings true.
A Happy Now Year, friends, to you"

"The old familiar wish rings true.
A Happy New Year. friends, to you"
A man who keeps up the custom Of
sending New Year cards to his friends
included this year second card bear
ing these words:
Instead Of returning evil for evil,
try to return evil with good; to say
nothing Ill of others; to act kindly
even with dumb animals.
Live thus one day, two days, or
more, and compare the state of your
mind with its state In former days.
"Make the attempt and you will see
how the dark, evil moods have passed
away and how the souls happiness has
increased.
"Make the attempt, and you will see
that the gospel Of love brings the
greatest and most desirable of all
things"
On these cards is written, "This is
Tolstoy's advice. 1t is good to pin on
a calendar where 1t will be seen every
day."

Bauplpes Are Enulish.

1t was actually Scotsman, and no
less n man than the lord advocate OF
the time, who publicly declared 30
years ago that "the bagpipe Is an Eng
lish instrument, essentially English ;
the English were the original bag
pipers." He pointed out that, while
Shakespeare often speaks of bagpipes,
he never does so in Macbeth" and
that It is in Lincolnshire and York
shire that he localizes the pipes.
To Chaucer and Spenser also they
are English. James " and other
Scottish kings paid for "Inglis pypar-
is" ut their court, while Edward |, Ed
ward III, Henry " and Henry VIII
seem to have had native pipers. The
Hlghlanders never used the pipes In
war before the fifteenth century; the
harp was Scotlands instrument.

The Mantle Coat.

The mantle coat is the coat that has
a separate piece fastened on the back
In cape effect. These capes are some
times buttoned on and sometimes are
fastened about halfway down the
sleeve. These coats always have
sleeves. The wrap coat may have n
dolman sleeve or deep kimono sleeve.
The sleeves of this type are always
cut in one with the main part of the
garment. These coats usually have
belt across the front. Still another
new coat Is that one which has no
belt at all, hus sleeves cut In one with
the garment and Is much wider across
the hip section than at the feet.

The first people who took possession
Of the banks Of the Rhine, we are told,
were the half-savage Celts, who after
ward received the name Gauls. In the
height Of his glory Caesar crossed the
Rhine and shortly afterward took the
entire river under his jurisdiction. The
river was, In Roman times, boun-

the German tribes, and at later date
and until 1871 was the frontier be-
