Germany's offer to France to main

Germany's system of diplomacy that

i'll a house of her own planning,
A which she has named "Thc Lit
tie House of Many Mirrors"
The spacious and charming effects pro-
duccd by skillfully managed reflections
are most %cleverly accomplished.
There is scarcely a room in any house
that can not be improved by a mirror or
two. Take your bedroom, for instance.
Panel all its entrances and wardrobe
doors with mirrors, and what a change
there is! The reflections magnify the
charm of your decorations, and at the
same time are practical for dressing. A
mirror on top of your dressing table is
very smart and effective. Perhaps you
already know that a light is doubled in
power if correctly placed before a look
ing-glass.
If there is a space in your hall where
a mirror ear line the wall, a panel, for
instance, or a long horizontal place
above a table-by all means place one
there. And one of these horizontal mir
rors is quite the thing above the fire.
place, too.
One woman of artistic taste had a
mirror set like a panel between two
windows in her boudoir. 1t stretched
from the ceiling to the floor, and was
about three feetin width. Hanging from
the very top center of the mirror by a
thick gold cord, was a crystal jar
shaped like the half of acrystal ball.

it must come as a definite shock
to hear it asserted by people
who know whereof they speak,
that those marriages are happiest in
which the questions of finance have all

the last penny. That the wife who

How utterly sordid to intrude the

young dream!" the sentimental roman
ticists mutmur soulfully, and shake
their heads over the queer times that the
present age is passing through.
It's a wise girl, however, who realizes
during her courtship the full import of
dollars and cents. And it's a poor I'M
fortunate one who doesn't realize it, but
trusts to a kind fate that things will ad-
just themselves satisfactorily after the
honeymoon is over.
True, it may come as a distinct shock
to an ardent fiance to have his prospec-
tive better half interrupt his a%postrophe
to her ccrulean eyes or midnight hair
with a cold, practical interrogation, such
as:
"Dick dear, what is your firm paying
you, now?" Or,
, Beloved, how much personal allow

much for running the house?"

any rate, the best way to begin is to
stand on a footstool, place the fnger-tips
on the door ledge, and let ones self

be dispensed with until hanging by the
fingers has ceased to be painful. Prac-
tice makes perfect, you know. And any
one possessed Of sufficient determination
to overlook tingling calloused fingers
will get surprising results from this ex-
%ercise..
Next on the program of stretching ex-

fcctly erect with the. hands held high
above the head, palms out; then bend
slowly from the waist keeping the knees
perfectly straight, and touch the floor
with the tips of the fingers.
This exercise is excellent on rising i'll

peated about six or eight times.
Is there any one who does not at some
time or other stretch when arising? ]
doubt if there is a single person who
doesn't stretch at least his eyes. Well

E Jun is just about the
most desolate sensation or earth.
G 1t is close kin to homesickness,
but infinitely worse, and most of
us have felt a touch. of one OF the other
at some time in our lives.
There arc a thousand different varie-
ties of loneliness. The girl who has
spent her life i'll the city thinks she
knows the meaning of loneliness. when
she finds herself out in the country for
the first time.
She misses the noises of the city, the
push and force of the crowds, the lights
and shadows of the streets at night. She
misses them with a keenness that actu-
ally hurts. II it is only a vacation of
pleasure, not an enforced vacation be-
cause of illness, she often cuts it short
and hastcns back to her beloved town
again.
That is n form of loneliness. In
fnitcly worse, however, is the loneliness
of the city itself which mi to the
stranger within its gates.
Not so f%orcefully does it strike a man.
for he is able to go about alone and
make friends. 1t is the girl who suffers,
for she experiences. the most bitter, the
most gnawing of all forms of loneliness.
To pass thousands of faces in a day
and not know one; to see thousands and
thousands of human beings surge by
without a glance or a thought of her !; to
realize that her health. her sickness, even
her death would mean nothing at all to
any single soul of the thousands Of be-
ings about her, is what brings a heart
and soul sickness that leaves its mark
for life.
If you must come alone to the city. or
if you have already come and arc even
now experiencing the first pangs of
homesickness, go about the business Of
making friends at once.
Do it carefully, not haphazardly. ss
A girl can not afford to make friends
indiscriminately at any time, and, ull-
fortunately, that is just what every girl
is tempted to do, after she has felt the
pangs Of loneliness long enough.
There are always ways to make worth
while friends if you will only be aSlit-
tie patient. Until you find that way.

Again, one must guard against AT excess

two and a half ounces of oil to each egg.

3"OST'o of us who are especially tall
I'M would do most anything to
A knock off an inch or two, now
that the petite girl is considered
the most popular: girl Notwithstanding
the converse of the proposition is like
wise true. The small girl would do most
anything to add to her scanty inches.
Well, beyond dressing to create the illu-
sion of. small stature, there is really lit
tie. else that the, tall giA can do. But
there is a deal of hope for the miss at
the other extreme, providing, of course,
that she has not. reached the age limit
of growth, which i'm some cases is thir-
ty. Correct exercise and treatment at
the hands of al +. experienced masseuse
can work vcritable miracles for the small
Young girl. .
Supposing, however, that exercise and
massage fail; there is always illusion to
fall back on. Keeping to long, unbroken
lines in dressing, and preserving a cor
rect carriage, constitute champion de-
%ceivers. Keeping the chest out alone is
enough, to add the illusion of an inch or
two and holding the head high and
we'll poised means another inch. The
wa~istline5is capable of being stretched
at will; there's another inch. If the
neck is short by nature, try playing
ostrich, and avail yourself of another
quarter of an inch. Chest up, shoulders
back, head higil, and a general stretch
from. neck to toe, these are the things
that make for a graceful carriage and
disappearance of increased height.

TEMEMBER and heed the old
fashioned law, which still holds
N good, that every one should
take a tonic in the spring Of
the year. Every child in years gone by
was compelled to swallow that nauseous
dose of oil that it so dreaded, or else that
equally awful sulphur and molasses.
True, these things will not do any one
harm, but there are correctibles which
will do as much good and are more
pleasant to take. There is nothing more
healthy for man, woman or child than
the fresh spring vegetables and fruit
which are now on the market, and
which arc not expensive. Nothing will
do more to help clear up the system
than these fresh greens. The eating Of
meat should be reduced, but not alto
gcther discontinued. Every man re-
quires meat. Veal and pork should be
discontinued in the summer, and,i in their
place plenty of fresh vegetables should
be eaten. When you do eat meat, add
plenty of watercress to it. See that
your children substitute fruit for candy.
Be sure it is ripc-then let them go
ahead.
