HAD BRIEF DAY OF FAME
Beautiful Paisley Shawl Achieved I'M
mense Popularity, but Only for
Short Time.

The story OF the Paisley shawl
specimen, | hear, has just been pre-
scented TO Lady Bonham-C arter-forms
one of the shortest and most romantic
chapters i'm the modern history of in
dustry, says writer in the West
minister Gazette. The manufacture of
these beautiful things was begun,
reached great height of prosperity
and became extinct in the space of
n little over eighty years. No Paisley
shawl has been woven since 1880. and
none is likely ever To leave the looms
again. The shawl had its origin in
the ambition OF the Paisley weavers
TO produce on the loom the amazingly
elaborate patterns. woven by the
needle. of the Cashmere shawls that
had been sent home from the East by
Scottish officers and traders To their
women folk.
The Paisley weavers were notable
craftsmen, and they produced a shawl
which excelled It's prototype In beauty
Of design and richness Of color. Their
success was the reward of patience.
skill, taste and a delicacy OF touch
which. experts say. has probably never
been eqaaled before or since
In the weaving craft A common price
for one of these Shawls in the days
when they were not Il rarity was 500.
and they were worn by women OF all
classes in Scotland except the very
poor. Then fashion decreed that the
Paisley shawl should no longer be the
mode. and It's fate was sealsl. Queen
Victoria gave the dying industry n
new. but brief. lease OF life when she
bought seventeen of the famous
Shawls and wore one ut the baptism
OF the prince who was TO become King
Edward.

How Many Of Spaniard's Daughters

Just Folks
THE ROADS OF HAPPINESS.

The Roads of Happiness are not
The selfish roads OF pleasure seek
ing.
Where cheeks are flushed with haste
and hot
And none has time for kindly speak
ing.
But they're the roads where lovers
stray.
Where wives and husbands walk to-
gether
And children rOmp along the way
Whenever ii is pleasant weather.
The Roads of Happiness are trod
BY simple folks and tender-hearted.
BY gentle folks that worship God
And want to live their days un-
parted.
There kindly people stop and talk.
Regardless of the chase for money,
There. arm in arm, the grownups
walk
And every eye you see 4, sunny.
The Roads of Happiness are lined.
Not with the friends OF royal SPLEEN
dor,
But with the loyal friends and kind
That do the gentle deeds and ten
der,
There fame has never brought unrest
Nor glory set mems hearts 70 aching.
There unabandoned is Hfe's best
For selfish love and money making.
The Roads of Happiness are those
That do not lead 10 pomp and glory.
But wind among the joys and l-oes
That make the humble toller's
story.
The roads that oft we used TO tread
In early days when first we mated.
When hearts were light and cheeks
were red.
And days were not with burdens
frelghted.
