sljnpers of Linen

A new idea in bedroom slippers is
to make them OF linen. These are de-
cidedly con- Portable on the feet, wear
well and can be washed easily. They
can be made from plain or embroid-
cred linen, just little heavier than
you would use for doilies or center
pieces. Buttonhole around the top a
small scarop and make eyelets in
which to run narrow ribbon.
They are very pretty made UP OF
hamburg four inches wide and with =
wen covered edge as well as an open
one through which the ribbon can run
When soiled they can be removed
from the sole, Numbered and replaced
with little trouble. It is well to keep
a fresh pair always on hand.

VIII True
LoUe Die ?


We often read in the popular novels
a sentence like this: And all the love
she had for. him was turned to the Bit
terest hate.
IL follows that the "he" has been a
very bold, bad man, and has threat
ened her in the most outrageous
manner
Men do those things-and so do wo-
men; and mans love" is just as apt
to turn to hate as woman's.
But is this 'love" that can be turned
'sto the bitterest hate true love?
l think not. And yet some people
hold that the deepest love, if scorned
or sighted or made d fool of, will re-
vert to undying hatred.
Wounded pride, or any entirely sell
fish reason, will create a feeling of
bitterness and anger toward the man
or woman who has Tilted or treated
one badly; but if there be a spark Of
true love in the heart of the injured
one no power on earth can kill it.
True love is such wonderful, beau
tiful thing, so all,embracing in its
charity and infinite in tits forgiveness.
To be truly in love is the happiest pos
sible state of being. for it is loving.
and not being loved, that is Ged-like.
Many persons are credited with low
ing when they are only in love with
being loved, and this is a very unsafe
foundation upon which to build mar
riage.
Little sympathy is ever shown wo-
man who will sue a man for breach of
promise to marry. No matter what
inconvenience or financial loss she
may suffer through the faithlessness
of her sweetheart, the moment she
makes public the fact that she has
been deserted she shows that it was
for purely selfish reasons that she de-
sired TO marry, and not merely for
true love.
If were man and was sued for
breach of promise l should count that
money well spent if the case were
decided against me, in getting rid Of
a woman whom l might have married
and been forced to drag out an ex-
istence with in loyeless wedloek.
We can never escape the conse-
Ouences of our actions. The faithless
millionaire seated at the luxurious
dining table will have ever beside him
the memory of the woman whose life
he has ruined; while she, if she has,
loved truly, finds that love her great
est blessing, thet cause of her happiest
reveries. SIZE may suffer unutterable
pain. but in time that pain grows less
and her love once given brings her
that exquisite joy of loving.
True love will endure the keenest
suffering. but it still lives on. A man
or woman who loses the object OF
their affections through death viii suf-
fer greatly, but it will not be hun
dredth part as cruel as he or she who
suffers the loss of loved one through
deceit or i'll treatment.
After a loss by death--sad as it
might be-there is left all the sweet
memories of all the happy years spent
together or the joyous companionship
of those we love; but, on the other
hand. if the erring one lives on the
knowledge that he or she is unworthy
of our love leaves wound that will
never heal.
In spite OF desertion. i'll treatment
and all else, true love lives on, and
the cynic who says 1t does not knows
not the meaning Of the word

Red Light Irresistible

A means for combating the winged

flying bugs are lured into deadly bath

ated by the fumes.
II was found that red light served
as an almost Irresistible lure for the
night-hyers. A red electric bulb. or a
lantern with red globe. Is placed near
the vessel containing the acid solution
As the pests fly to the light the fumes
destroy them. even though they may
not actually fall into the bath.
To protect human beings from pos
sibie accidental contact with the acid
bath, the liquid Is placed In wide
mOuthed bottle. TO which Is attached
funnel with a very broad haring cone.
The light Is suspended directly over
this funnel. and the insects. stupefed
by the acid fumes fall into it and so
