all blame in the tragedy. Borland

PARTY FOR FRIEND
LEAVING IN OCTOBER

She didn't have a great deal OIL
money to spend, yet this nearest
friend was going away to spend the
winter and she did SO want 10 give
a party for her-one which would
stand out.
But she had been gifted with
originality to serve for the lack OF
an abundance of money.
It was October. The leaves in her
garden and the woods were wonder
fully toned and the woodbine which
chung to her veranda was brilliant.
So she gathered quantities OF the
branches of bright leaves and turned
her rooms into a bower. The screen
she completely covered with wood
bine and here and there, especially
pyramiding in the corners, were
great punches of SALIVA and clusters
of red berries.
The place cards were written in
gold and ornamented with little
punches Of purple and red berries
which were cut out to give an lrreS-
ular line. A huge green basket OF
fruit was passed during the simple
luncheon. Prizes for contest or card
winners were fanciful little things
made out of brown linen and en-
broidered in autumn colors and the
gift to the girl who was going away
Was,a clever little waist length negll-
gee of brown linen, embroidered in
golden yellow.
1t was a beautiful party!

Smoking Too Much

Whether tobacco will cause your
death depends on how much you
smoke and how much you can stand
of it.
There are some men who have
smoked necessarily all their lives and
are living proofs. they say. that to-
bacco can not harm anyone.
Science is agreed that the excess
sive use of tobacco is one of the
causes for early old age. hardening
of the arteries. loss of sight in youth.
Smokers are more liable to cancers
Of the lips. throat and tongue. than
those who do not smoke.
When smoking begins to show
harmful effects, it first disturbs the
stomach. then the throat and finally
the heart.
There has always been a great ar
gument over the good points and
bad points in smoking. There is no
doubt that to the temperamental,
highstrung people, smoking is a
steadier and a comforter, but to
these it is also a slyly. slowly creep
ing poison that will sooner or later
take the heart. Many men r able
to stand the results of tobacco and
die without ever being harmed by
excessive smoking, but they, too, are
in a class by themselves.
The only way to be on the safe
side is to smoke moderately IL you
have been in the habit of using the
weed" a great deal and stop alto
gether If you smoke but little.
Many men say they would stor
