The rains have held 1t back beyond

menced to bloom. 1t will go on now for
a good three weeks, and, by all the
signs that can read hereabout, this is
TO be a laurel year. For, on alternate
years, for the most part. laurel takes a
needed rest, and puts forth but paltry
show of blooms. This year 1t Is to
favor us with a handsome gesture Of
bounty.

ness Of its neat flowers, like children in

Of all. I think. love 1t for its being

Taking Care of Mans Study
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| mankind seems TO feel special resent
ment at the idea of personal effects be-
| ing changed from the original order,
or disorder. in which they have been
left. Many household bomb has been
exploded because, in cleaning such a
masculine sanctuary, things have been
shifted Intentionally or through care
lessneSs
One of the ways in which wife can
prove herself successful Is to see that
the most perfect adjustment possible in
this matter is obtained. There are cer-
tain considerations which should be OBJ
served and which are a positive aid
They are based on practical experience.
If mans room is on the order OF q
workshop. it is of greatest Importance
to show respect to the places in which
things are left Even If their position
offends a housewives sense of order
they may have special significance to
the worker in that room.
A woman whose husband was in
literary work solved the problem in her
own household. Although the actua.
sweeping was done. not by herself, but
BY maid she alone attended to the
duSting. Cloths were thrown over the
papers on desk or table, and orders
were given that nothing be moved save
the actual pieces of furniture that must
be shifted incident to cleaning. Once
that was finished, and dust had been
allowed to settle. the wife took hand.
Carefully gathering up the cloths
in such a manner as to leave every
thing intact as found, she next set
to work. duster in hand. Lifting the
papers, books. and other articles on the
desk, she busted them and replaced
them exactly as found. She realized
that in doing this. she was promoting
her husbands work much more than
as If she established a kind OF arbitrary
order among his things. according to
her own ideas. Her satisfaction came,
not from the fact that the room looked
as she would prefer it when the clean
ing was over. but from the knowledge
that the continuity of her husbands
work was unbroken and that the place
was rid of actual dirt without inter-
fering with him.
One of the pleasures that men get
from a sanctum of their own Is the
feeling that there they can settle down
among things disposed in any old way
that they feel like having them. a place
where they are monarchs OF what they
survey. Where such a room Is used
for pleasure. not work, the wife should
be allowed to exercise some of her pre-
negatives for establishing order. If she
does not even a man who thinks he
likes the free and easy state Of con-
fusion will find no pleasure in too much
of it. The place will become perfectly
hectic. if everything is put where it
doesn't belong, and the man, having
sought refuge in his sanctum, will
emerge from it anything but rested.
The thing TO remember is that some
latitude in the matter must be allowed
the man, but that 1t is not reasonable
to have it become too wide.

BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

E. l.. Wat 30 years Of age, with
height of feet 10 inches, your nor
NAL weight should be about los pounds.
While this may seem to be slight, am
considering that your bones are small
and must make some difference in the
calculation. Any one needing to re-
duce arms, legs and bust must need
complete reduction all over, and the
easiest method Is through the diet. Eat
much less of all starchy foods-even
eliminate all Of them for few weeks
until some Of the fatty tissues are be-
ing absorbed. Sugar and all oily foods
are fattening also. so these should be
lessened II eliminating starch does not
quite effect the desired results.
Mary E. l.. and A. w. T-For the
blackheads try hot wet cloths over the
places to open the pores; massage into
the skin then some cleansing cream
to soften the impacts. Clear all this
off by scrubbing with warm water and
a fine soap; rinse in cool water and
finally very cold water. or an ice rub,
to close the pores again Repeat this
special cleansing every few days until
the skin is cleared.

nervousness and impatience. very much

that there is a bridge there for us 10

LATE in the afternoon when the heat of the day

book. Perhaps few friends call. Perhaps you
are there alone and neighbor comes across the
lawn. And you welcome your friend.

time to serve Canada Dry" 1t is delicious
beverage, with a subtle gingery taste, with

The delicate favor of Canada Dry" is partly
due to pure Jamaica ginger; partly to the blend

because it contains no capsicum (red pepper).
Canada Dry is mild mellow and "dry." In.

good for you in summertime. Order Canada

venerable eagle monarch of this Sec

and II he follows his custom of many
years will remain until 1t is over. His
majesty does not fish himself, but lets
the hawks do it for him.
Every day he comes in from Alma
where he has his temporary abode
perches high in grove of elms and
pines that commands view of pool
just below the falls at the site OF an
old mill
The suckers are abundant In the pool
just now. The hawks know 1t, and SO
does Old Baldy.
When this feathered tyrant sees one
of his humble subjects make catch
he swoops down in such terrifying
manner that the hawk drops his fish
without fight. and before the fish has
had time to fall back into the pool
Baldy has 1t In his clutches. He takes
1t back to his perch. makes 1t fast
against the branch with his talons
