AUTUMN
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

Much is heard of Spring poets, and
the mention of them brings litter, for
of truth bad poetry has made Spring,
especially the European Spring with its
primroSes and daffodils and cuckoos
and swallows, more than little Sentt-
mental. But in my opinion, Autumn has
Jared rather better in poetry, and its
dramatic fire and moving quality merit
at least as much love as Springtime.
For the Autumn of Europe poets have
sung well, but EuropeS Autumn is but
a drab affair compared to ours. Why
does no one write of Autumn in our
woods and fields and farms. or even our
city streets (for Autumn in cities has
Its own glamour and Stir), as it should
be written2 Few thoroughly satisfac-
tory lines about our Autumn come to
mind. THE frost is on the punkin" is
one OF them, for Riley, though he wrote
dialectically, wrote with the authentic
thrill and vision of real poetry.
For that matter, why is there so little
good nature poetry of any sort? Bryant
and Emerson, Van Dyck and Town
send, Frost and Lampman have done
well with this subject. But who will
communicate to us the enchanted lull
OF the sea on an Indian Summer day,
or the sound of the leaves stirring
around old Georgetown garden gates, or
the click of seeds in Autumn pods, or
the wiry twanging of chicadeeS among
the cedars? Nature poets are too oc-
cupled with human emotions, or they
wish to point moral lesson, instead of
allowing us to find it for ourselves.

"He came to Mr. Ellsworth's house
and brought this letter they've all been
talking about. I told him that Miss
O'Shay wanted him to go away"
And them"
II saw him hanging around the house.
I spoke to him and told him it was no
good waiting, but he said he would not
leave till he had talked with her"
And what was the last time you
saw him, prior to this trial?"
"On the evening of March 18-the
last night ever saw Miss O'Shay alive
she answered a telephone call from
the extension in her boudoir at about
half past 8 o'clock. I remember the
time, because she had only just come
upstairs, directly after dinner. She
threw a cloak over her evening dress
and went out Immediately, without
telling me where she was going. I went
to see what she was up to. When I
looked out, saw Miss O'Shay and
Mr.. Orme walking down the driveway
toward the street together. That was
the last / saw of her-she never came
back"

The cost of upholstery fabrics is al
ways a matter of moment with the
home decorator when she finds the
material on some of her furniture must
be renewed. It is with pleasure, there
fore, that she can find today suitable
textiles at small cost and which have
the sanction of the best decorators.
The textiles are familiar to us all under
the names of n1ercerized Sateens, far
mer's satin, or cotton satin. These can
be had in grades that are heavy enough
for upholstery and in a range of colorS
that meets all demands. There are
regular makes of these Satins with
glossy sheen, yet, without any silk in
them, that come under upholstery fab
RIGS, and these can be selected, If pre-
ferred. though they are not the only
kinds that are satisfactory.
Choose fiat colors in these cotton
satins They are the correct ones for
upholstery. The colors may be sub
dued or gay. but the former suit deco
rative schemes better, especially for
larger pieces of furniture. Very dark
brown is a favorite color. Black is
frequently used. Mulberry that is more
like brown tinged with rose-purple
than the tones that come to mind under
this name 1T in with some color schemes
excellently. Bottle green is another
color that is successfully used. All
these, as will be noticed, are deep
shades. Of them brown is in the

Why Lovers Exaggerate.

She's the cutest little girl that ever
was" You've often heard q man say
that about his sweet patootie even when
the movie promoters at Hollywood were
not falling over themselves to get her
face on the screen. You wonder how
he got like that, and she-well, she's
just as dippy.
He's just the grandest man ever and
the finest fellow that you ever saw
or course, you know that the people
won't send him to Congress, and he'll
be lucky If the firm puts him on the
road with good expense account But
the girl doesn't care about those little
things. She just knows what hum
dinger her boy is. How did she get
such a bug?
It's all in the love game, for love is
all exaggeration, and Cupid is the big
gest liar that ever was, now that Ana
MAS is dead. Love makes one talk that
way, and lovers talk that way because
that's the way they feel. Cupid makes
them cuckoo about each other.
But the fact of the matter Is that
the heart stimulates the brain to such
degree that the lover sees everything
different. He isn't trying to kid you or
fool himself; no. it's his heart that Is
handing out to him more than his mind
can chew.
She's the only girl in the world for
me-" says he. Now, that's all right as
far as the "for me" is concerned, but
the lover is under the impression that
the rest of the population aren't in 1t
and there's no use having the census
taker go around and count 'em.
When man loves a girl he doesn't
pnrf1r1n hic offontiOY1 IN met this ai1iClr-
en- who may not weigh much over a
hundred. He thinks of her as though
she were all the women in the world
and gives her the praise that poets
have always given the ideal woman
The lover whose heart is SO inflamed
is in search of an ideal, and when he
finds this one girl he thinks that
she's 1t.
He loved her, all right, but he Is really
adoring the true, the good, the beau
tiful and then some. Of course, there
is no one on earth who corresponds to
his idea of the girl he adores, but the
desire to glorify somebody is there. and
the lover plasterS his praise on the girl
thicker than she lays the powder on.
A girl does this somewhat with her
Romeo, but 1t is usually the man who
lets his heart sell the girl to him, and
the heart is some book agent. Indeed
I think it speaks we'll for men, who are
often too practical, when little love
can make them talk and write and act
as though they were bunch of poets.
Love is the poetry of the prosaic
mind It is the art Of those who
haven't talent. the music in the soul OF
the man who cannot carry a tune.
The girl on whom all this praise is
lavished as though it were mayonnaise
on a salad shouldn't be surprised. Let
him dream, grille, let him rave, for it
will do him good and won't do you any
harm.
For your part you can try to live up
to the part that he has made for you
and try to wear the crown he is trying
to put on your head. If he loves you
he's likely to get enthusiastic, and that
means the exaggeration we're talking
about.

For dining room chairs bright colorS
are affected, for these correspond with
the gay-hued feathers that are now the
vogue for dining room upholstery.
Bright green as brilliant as grass is
considered cheerful. Russian leather
red, and even brighter tones, are liked
If this is the color wanted to be &C
cented in the room. A gaT but '.eep
blue is sometimes selected, snT occa-
sionally a saffron or pumpkin yellow,
but these are more SparSely used, green
leading and red following close. These
colorS are also liked for libraries and
occasional chairs when they fit in aptly
with the decoration otherwise.
Figured or printed SateenS, as they
are also called, are not correct at pres
ent. They may be used like cretonnes
and hand-blocked linens for chambers,
boudoirS and upstairs rooms. 1t is not
these, however, that are the vogue, but
the absolutely plain fiat colors These
supply the requisite dignity to uphol-
stery.
When color is introduced at all 1t is
in pipingS or cordingS for seams, moth
ing more. A deep chocolate brown,
cotton satin with seams corded or
piped in grass green is effective So
also is the mulberry in rich grape
shade, piped with yellow so dark that
1t is really a yellow ochre. Black is
also piped to give a dash of color to
suit such schemes as are emphasized
in rooms.

DIET AND HEALTH
BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D.

latation occasionally occurs in healthy
hearts under excessive athletic strain.
The patient has to have medication
and be at complete rest.
/ rather imagine your husband or
he is able to take whisky and tobaccoD
has what is known as hypertrophied
or enlarged heart. This may arise IL
there is any trouble in the heart valves
or the heart muscles and the heart has
to work harder than normal for long
period. Some physicians believe that
tiny doses of alcohol are beneficial IN
heart diseases. Others do not hold with
this at all. Tobacco is a poison even
in moderation for some. and only when
used excessively in others. and Is bad
in any condition. However, If patient
has become tolerant of its poison, some
doctors advise its continuance In small
amounts rather than an abrupt break
off.
H.-If you can, go to an orthopedic
surgeon. He will give you some exer-
cises and some treatments to strengthen
| your leg which was left disabled by IN
| fantile paralysis. The fact that it IS
much better now than it used to %
probably shows it is capable Of further

You evidently went back to the same

Importance of sticking to the reducing
diet long enough to change the food
tastes. If you persist, you can learn
really to prefer some fruit rather than
pies. cakes, puddings or ice cream for
dessert, to feel no sense of loss when
no bread is taken with a full meal, to
really like food better without lot
of rich gravies and sauces, etc, and to
wonder how you ever cared so much
about candy.
BY acquiring such food tastes you
have automatically cut out 500 to 1000

these habits, you can cease counting
your calories, although it's fun to do
this anyway.

to. improve my fortune after having
wasted part in riotous living in Ey
youth. With the captain for mariner,
I set sail, steering for the East Indies.
One day, camping on the back of
monstrous whale, thinking it was an
island, was left behind in the sea,
when the whale dived, and by sheer
good luck wave at last flung me OF q
zeal island.
The bank was high and rugged, so
that I could scarcely have got up it
had 1t not been for some roots of trees
which fortune seemed to have preserved
in this place for my safety. Being got
I'D, I lay down on the ground, half
Gead, until the sun appeared Then,
though was very feeble, both by rea-
son of my hard labor and want of food,
I crept along to look for some herbs flt
TO eat, and had the good luck not only
to find some but likewise a spring of
excellent water, which contributed much
to restore me.
After this advanced farther into
the island, and came at last into fine
plain, where / perceived horse feed
ing at a great distance. I went toward
him, between hope and fear, not know
ing whether I was going to lose my
life or save it.
Presently 1 heard the voice Of man
from under ground, who Immediately
appeared to me and asked who I was.
4 gave him an account of my adven-
tlire, after which, taking me by the
hand, he led me into cave, where
there were several other people, no less
amazed to see me than I was to see
them.
i ate some victuals which they Of
fefed me, and then asked them what
tEikt did in such a desert place. They
answered that they were groomS, be-
longing to King Mfhrage, sovereign OF
the island, and that every year they
brought thither the kings horses. They
added that they were to get home to-
morrow, and that had I been one day
later I must have perished, because the
inhabited part Of the island was at q
great distance, and it would have been
impossible for me to get there without
a guide.
Next morning they returned with
their horses to the capital of the
island, took me with them, and pre-
sented me to King Mihrage. He asked
ne who I was and by what adventure
] came to his dominions And after
had satisfied him he told me he was
much concerned for my misfortune, anc
at the same time ordered that 1 shoulc
