CAN CATS SEE in THE DARK2

G TRICTLY speaking, cats cannot
- see In complete darkness any
more than human belBgs can.
ButF owing to a peculiar construction
Of their eyes, they can make much bet
ter use of whatever light there Is and,
as result. they can find a way
through room which appears to be
very dark.
The pupils of cats eyes are capa-
BILE of being enlarged or distended to
great extent, thus letting in every
particle of light. Moreover, this en-
largement of the pupil takes place al
most instantly and there is therefore
little apparent hesitancy on the part
of a. cat which enters a dark room
after being In the bright light. The
same principle holds good, in "a lesser
extent, in the human eye, for after we
become accustomedSto the dark"-0r
after the pupils of our eyes become
sufficiently distended to allow the rays
to enter-we are able to see much
more clearly and distinctly than for
merly. This, however, takes an ap-
preciable time, while 1t occurs auto
matically in the eye Of the cat.

OCEAN ETIQUETTE.


Good breeding is the result Of much good
sense.-Chesterheld.
TTSIS so many months since Amerl
cans have taken trips for pleasure
that we must brush up little on
the question of the etiquette Of ocean
travel. War workers and the men IN
the expeditionary forces were trans
ported under such very different cir
cumstances from those Of pleasure
travel that as far as the small points
of manners go 1t was an entirely
different proposition.
Under ordinary circumstances the
woman ocean vOyager has a good many
letters to write during the first few
hours of her voyage because 1t Is
considered only courteous for her to
send off little notes of thanks to those
who have sent flowers, books or other
presents, by the mail that Is taken
off with the ships pilot. However,
these letters need not be long, as
surely no one would expect you to
miss all the pleasure of being on deck
during the first Of your voyage In
order that you might dwell at great
length on your appreciation of their
generosity.
The question is sometimes asked
whether 1t is in good form to use the
stationery such as is provided by the
ocean lines, or whether 1t Is not better
to use ones own stationery. Good
form seems to sanction the use Of the
ships stationery, and it is surely more
interesting to those who received let
tiers to have them on this paper.
Suppose you know no one on ship
board. Must you therefore keep to
yourself because there is no way for
you to have introduetions to the
other passengers? Certainly not. It
is quite good form for you to begin
with a courteous good morning ad-

long time ago, but never until this
night had she done more than look
out from her frame.
But one night when-the clock struck
the last stroke of twelve, before any
Of the toys could move or speak out,
from her frame ON the wall leaned
the 0ld-Fashloned Little Girl.
On the edge Of the frame she placed
one little slippered foot, her little
hands holding on to the sides Of the
frame. Then out came the other foot
and this she placed on the shelf, and
there she stood looking all around the
playroom. "Where are all my old
friends2" again she asked.
Beautiful French Doll, dressed in
the latest style, replied: 81 don't be-

THERE IS VIGOR
IN RICH BLOOD
pto-Mangan In Liquid or Tab.
IetS-a Blood Builder.

Vigor and strength have as their
base rich red blood. Blood Is rich when
there are plenty of red corpuscIes.
They are the, tiny red cells which swim
in blood and give it its color. without
red corpuscles blood would be white.
When overwork, or straining, or ILL
ness weakens the blood, 1t dlminishes
the number Of red cells. Without a
sufficient number of red cells the blood
becomes watery, the body weak. Vigor
and strength fall on, so that physical
life dlminishes like a fading PLAN. : The
physical pleasures Of eating and sleep
Ing and exercise lose all attraction.
There is no zest in living.
After Guides Pepto-M angan has been
taken for while the blood becomes
rich with red cells. They help to nour-
ish the entire system. With good blood
at work there Is a great difference in
living. Eating, sleeping and exercise
are enjoyed. All druggists sell Guides

but 1t was no use, she could not get
up there, for more daylight came into
the playrOOm and ended the magic
power given to those who lived there.
When the little girl who lived ln4he
house ran into the playrOom that
morning she stopped at the door and
looked. Then she called to her moth

by all the toys was Old-Fashloned

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

dressed to those whom you meet at
table or whom yen pass every day
on deck. At least by the second or
third day out you would naturally
start conversation with the person
seated next to you on deck and to
resent any such friendliness on the
part of others would indeed be un-
kind. If for any reason you wish to
be left entirely to yourself you should
make special request that your
steamer chair be placed in an isolated
part Of the deck.
1t will then become apparent that
you do not wish to mingle with the
others and you will have no trouble
in keeping by yourself. But by far the
most agreeable thing is to accept the
friendly advances Of persons whom you
meet and If they appear congenial
there is no reason why you should
not let the friendship progress quite
as II you had had a formal introduc.
