A Feeling Of Security

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney. liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity i. with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need a medicine. you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer Co., Binghamton, N Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertisemen

reason the Easter Sunday afternoon
tea is looked upon with favor among
such persons Whatever may be your
own attitude toward darcing on Sun
day among most Americans there is
still prejudice against it, as there
is against the playing Of the "noisier"
sort of dance music. This is not
really SO much matter of religious
principle with a good many people but
one of respect for time bonored GUS
tom.
One thing that especially recon-
mends these little Sunday social
gatherings is that since most American
men regard 1t as n normal state of
affairs to have to work fer six days
in the week Sunday is the only
time when we can have an afternoon
party that is attended by both men
and women.

But, like all names which have n
masculine and feminine equivalent.
Alberta has no really individual exis-
ence. After all, she is merely a mas
culine name with feminine termiua-

temporaries, such as Edwina and
Roberta. she is almost frivolously
feminine and is not regarded as SUBJ

heir who was to have been called AL

THE FINGER NAILS

FINGER nails that are unusually
= broad and long, show a disposition
that is uncertain and inconsistent and
subject to bodily ailments. 1t Is also
held by some authorities that the Dos.
SCISSORS of such nails are in danger of
being influenced too greatly by the op-
posite sex.
If the nails are long. but not too
long, and properly proportioned, they
are an indication of well-baIanced
nature. OF course, this indication must
be read in conjunction with other signs
in the hand. But. speaking generally,
the possession of such nails means n
nature that is affable. agreeable, trust
full, but not too confiding. "These peo-
pie will from youth understand de-
ceitful purposes" says one authority.
Small, crooked nails or nails that
are bent at the point, or apex. show
ambition, courage and high spirits,
Naturally, such natures are apt to be
self-willed and impatient of contra.
dictiOn or opposition.

THE SUNDAY TEA

WITHIN the last few. years the
w custom of tea serving on Sunday
afternoon has been growing, especially
in the large cities or city suburbs.
Usually these teas are informal and
there are no special invitations for them
perhaps that is why they have proved
so popular. 'If you are out Sunday
afternoon. drop in and have cup of
tea with us; the Joneses will probably
be around" That is about all there
is to the usual invitation. And you
go and the Joneses are there and some
interesting people whom you have
never met and there is perhaps a little
music and If 1t is a warm day all
will stroll through the garden and you
go home feeling that you are much
better of because of this little "tea
party"
To be sure there are some persons
who would feel that this sort of thing
was not quite in keeping with the
spirit of Sunday and those people
you would Of course not invite to
have tea with you on that afternoon,
though the chances are that those
very people would accept an invitation
to go motoring on that day or would
have dinner ut hotel in order to
tighten their own household cares.

is with many people day when they
like to see their friends and exchange

"Whirr. whirr," answered the wild
wind. as 1t tore the dry leaves from
the tree and whirled them about like
dancing brown elves on the ground

Cant you stop whirring a minute
and tell us what you mean?" asked
Chickadee. How do you know so
much about this queen?"

nearer to the questioning birds, "How

l am getting ready now, that is why
am whirring and circling about, for
you can never tell just how the Snow
Queen wishes to be escorted from her
home away up North.
Sometimes she comes silently and
shakes her feathery robes over the
land and then again she chooses to
come dancing like mad Queen, shak-

there is not n feather left and she has
to hurry home and get another robe.

But If I stay here gossIping 1 shall

watch out and soon you will see the
land covered with feathers from her
robe"
Away went the wild wind with a
loud whirr, whirr. while the two little
birds sat looking at each other and
wondering II 1t were all true.
The next day while they sat on a
limb talking 1t over, little snowflakes
came dancing down about the tree.
