that could not be quiet.
She talked about her old
friends and the old days when
she lived deep in the woods and
climbed the trees like an Indian
girl, and painted her face with
pokeberries, too, and drank
from the cold little spring that
dubbed up at the foot Of the
great, gray rock in what they
called the little ledge" in her
Wisconsin home.
And no matter how i'll she
was, or how tired, or how dis
gusted with life she was, she
always laughed at life's follies,
and sometimes she said she was
like a passenger waiting in the
railroad station for the train to
come and take her home. She
was a dignified woman and a
proud woman, and one day she
turned her face to the wall and
died, and then her friends sent
her flowers and there was a
funeral, and much fuss. EIabor-
ate arrangements, expensive
coffin. Oh, it was all so snowy.
How Aunt Jane would have
rebelled if she had known it.
Why can't we make our
funerals just a noble, dignified,
quiet farewell to a foolish,
stupid life, end not initiate the
follies of life.

~ We are two sisters, n
eighteen, the other twenty-four.
Although We have many friends
we never so anywhere without
each other. This Summer two
gentlemen have been real friendly
toward US. We know them as they
are both employed by business
concerns in u town. The one
boy we meet almost every day
and know real well. The other
one lives out OF town but has been
in town a great deal this Summer.
They have shown us that they
would like to be friends with us.
What would you advise us to do.
Annie Laurie? They are both bash
full Is we are too. Do you think ii
would be right 10 stop these boys
on the street and talk to them?
Is it our place to do this?
MANY THANKS.
MANY THANKS: OF course, It's
AVA your place to speak first. So /
would advise that the next time you
meet the young men, stop and talk
TO them. This is probably what they
are waiting for, and then ! am sure
everything will come about as you
wish.

URING the latter part Of the
nineteenth century there was
n name ernblazoned across
the theatrical armament OF France
q name that was to transform the
classic drama into a living flame and
itself burn brightly through the
ages.
The renaissance OF the classic
drama was brought about by an ac-
tress known simply as Rachel-the
daughter OF an itinerant Jewish ped
der. Rachel had nc beauty, no edu-
cation. no lghtness or charm-none
OF the natural advantages that lead
easily to the stage: but she had tie
slnothered passion OF her race, its
rich tones Of sorrow and a deep
sympathy and understanding. She
couldn't have told who were Her
mione or Camille or Helen OF Troy,
but she could make them live on
the stage and fire their marble
classicism with reality.
Her childhood was spent in Paris
where she picked up an occasional
sou singing ballads along the boule-
wards. The famous music master,
Choron. heard her one day and, i'm
pressed more by the temperament
than the voice Of the singer, begged
to be allowed TO send her for In
struction to the dramatic class of
Pagnon Saint Aulaire. It was he
who finally procured for her an en-.
gagement at the Theatre Francois.
Rachel made her debut IN 1898 as
Camille In Comedies tragic LES

things. But, as she grew older, she seemed to
wither like some sort Of delicate flower, and
she was no longer interested in the great
things in the great world, but wanted to talk
about the flowers in her window box and the
characters in the daily newspaper fiction
story, or would Mary really marry John, do
you suppose?
And she took an interest in the love affairs
of the maid and was worried because the maid
was in love with the handsome ice man, who
seemed to have an eye for beauty. Aunt Jane
saw him once, through the windoy Of her
room, talking with the black-eyed girl and
looking as if he enjoyed his conversation
and Aun James maid was blue-eyed-Aunt

This is a long introduction TO what
j started to say about anemia. You
know what i meal by "anemia." 1t
IS that condition where the child
seems to be without blood. There
is no color in the lips and cheeks.
The skin IS almost like wax.
A child may be born with anemia.
This IS known as "~congenital
anemia."
This type Is due to the illness OF
the mother. She has not had blood
sufficient FOR her own needs, per.
hapS, and certainly not enough for
her baby. In consequence it has
anemia at birth.
The mother OF such a baby fs very
likely to be pale and flabby, or else
very thin and anemio herself. Per-
haps tho mothers condition Is the
result Of chronic disease OF some
sort.
There s. another form OF snenlia
which Is the result Of wrong feeding
of the infant. In consequence the
child deEelops rockets or hidden
