The statement, mo one is really
happy" was recently attributed to
Thomas Edison. The newspapers re-
ported that the great wizard gave it
as his opinion that happiness is pretty
much of a delusion. Like his close
friend Henry Ford, Mr.. Edison is a
disciple of hard work and plenty OF It,.
Both men believe that whatever happi-
ness one may expect from life he will
get primarily from the amount and
quality of his work and his contribu-
ton to the welfare of men.
It is a matter of common observation
that the very people we think the hap
piest are anything but happy. "All is
vanity" is the common verdict of
those who have lived most intensely
and should, therefore, be well satisfied
with life.
If life is somewhat of a disappoint-
ment to the greatest and best, what
must it be to the rest of us?
Disappointment implies failure to
come up to expectations. Perhaps the
more successful mortals expect more
4tCACC bCttSA VA 4CAdIANCAy
than the average man.
Heaven is the best proof OF the fact
that life is a disappointment. AS
Browning once said, "A mans reach
should exceed his grasp, or what's a
heaven for" We are all inclined to
reach beyond our grasp to bite of more
than we can chew. No matter how
much we have we want more. When
Alexander the Great conquered the
then known world he is said to have
wept because there were no more
worlds to conquer. 1t looks as though
we shall be disappointed with heaven
If We carry our human spirit along.
Life is disappointment because it
is made up of disappointing expert
ences. The successful man in one
realm is bound to taste bitter defeat
in another. If nothing more he grows
old ana feeble and can't help feeling
that he is losing out. We spend life
time getting the means by which to
satisfy our wants. only to discover that
the wants have fed. 1t is like going
to an enormous amount of trouble to
prepare a feast for a celebrity, who at
the last minute doesn't come, and We
are left in the lurch.

Invitations for the Wedding
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

There may be many prospective Sum-
mer brides who are debating just what
style to use and If they inquire into
the matter they will find that there are
several departures from the once rigid
form of white paper and black lettering
throughout. Not that they are either
radical or conspicuous changes. Even
today the only case where lettering is
not black IS in the use of a monogram,
which matter will be discussed later.
Absolutely white paper may be varied
by having what Is called ivory" either
light or deep cream. This, being
somewhat new, Is popular with some
people, Just as bridal dresses in tones
off of the white are popular. If, how
ever enough distinction can be gained
within the prescribed pure white form
it indicates a conservativeness Of choice
in excellent taste upon such occasions.
A feature. extremely dignifed as well
as novel in wedding invitations and
announcements. is the monogrammed
initials of the brides and groom's last
names at the head of the page. This
very rich appearance to the sheet.
Gold is used occasionally. Sometimes
the initials are just embossed.
A most unusual wedding invitation,
yet one in the best of good taste, is
upon a paneled paper, the left-hand
panel being wider than the right. In.
this in the upper left-hand corner is
the bride and groom's monogram. To
the right and slightly below is the en-
graved invitation, centered in the panel,
but not in the middle of the page, be-
cause the paneling is one-Sided.
A severely simple monogram is in
keeping with this style of invitation
and the engraving appears to advantage
in a rather plain lettering. Shaded
antique Roman" is among those suitable
for such an arrangement, although
there are many others. A kind Of let
ter called Spanish" presents one of the
smartest looking announcements and
has the virtue of being unusual as well
as graceful in form.

Bananas for Bimbos.

DR.. Ludo Meysenburg, New orleans
baby specialist, reports that ne led
bananas to 90 babies ranging in age
from 4 months to years. They were
ali normal infants, though several Of
them had not gained satisfactorily and
several had constipation.
Two of the babies were unable 10
continue taking banana because 1t
proved too laxative Many Of them be-
gan to make satisfactory gains In
weight after they received banana.
Some OF the babies were completely
cured of their constipation, and many
were greatly benefited.
1t is advisable that only thoroughly
ripened banana be fed to infants.
When a banana is well ripened 1t has
a rich golden yellow color and Is hecked
over with brown spots-not black marks
from bruising. but brown spots that
make the banana more attractive. In
ripening considerable part OF the
starch of the banana is converted into
sugar. Thus, the fresh banana, green
or only slightly yellow, contains about
20 per cent starch and only 2 or 3
per cent sugar The same banana
after thorough ripening will contain
less than l per cent starch and nearly
20 per cent sugar This conversion of
starch into sugar gives the banana
Its fine flavor when thoroughly rtpened.
Cooking, of course, converts con-
siderable starch in an unripe, even a
green, banana into sugar. But 1t is
better to feed the children raw banana
II any ripe banana today.
Besides its high nutritive value-you
can buy more actual food in banana
than you can get for a nickel in ham,

lamb or steak-banana contains 1ar
amounts of vitamins A, B and G.
The onion is a famous health" food,
though it is not clear how it got It's
reputation. An onion gives a lot OF
flavor and contains considerable min
eral matter that is desirable ADDITION
to the usual dietary, especially OF urban
jewellers. But suspect the onion owes
its popularity largely to advertising.
You know, when one includes onion
in the menu one invariably goes out
and tells the world about it with every
breath. It Is not so with bananas. A
banana will yield all the mineral food
the choicest onion can provide and be-
sides the banana gives you a lot OF
calories.
All that seems to be wrong with a
lot Of bimbos is they don't get fair
break in the way of victuals. There
is entirely too much feeding by quaint
rules, rules conceived by old-time baby
specialists who knew too many things
which were not so. The amateur
mother--of course she has learned
nothing whatever about the business
of raising babies In her school course
tries to feed the baby by some queer
old rule, the baby gets the short end
on this and that essential food ma
terial, and then there's trouble. A very
common trouble is costiveness, purely
due to insufficient solid food. The
amateur mother instead of dealing in
diligently with this, keeps right on
doing out the inadequate rataors and
begins to ply the poor kid witt ehysic,
enemas or something, and things go
from bad to worse.
Resist that impulse. Spare that
bimbo the interference habit. Patron
lie Tony the banana man and watch
the binbo thrive.

SPRINCTIME
BY d. c. PEATTIE.

The naturalist comes to look for the
same general qualities in the same fam
lilies of animals and plants; the cat fam
lily is carnivorous, fierce and graceful;
the poppy family runs to bright colored
flowers and juices, is fragile, ephemeral
and elegant. So if the quality Of SUI
preme song is to be sought in some
family Of our American birds, we would
look for some member of the nightin-
gales family-and we have it., in the
thrushes.
To my way of thinking the song of
the thrush at this time OF year is be-
yond any doubt the most marvellous
song that issues from the threats of
our birds-and in some ways the her
NIT thrush is even more enhancing
than the nightingale. Where the
nightingale knows, or improviSes, thou
hands of melodies, no two birds singing
alike, the thrush has but one song, re-
peated with slight variations in clarity,
rhythm and the like. But the actual
reproduction, to use singers term, Is
quite as fine, If not finer. To his mate,
I suppose, the little sizzling noise Of a
pine-siskin sounds enchanting; to hu-
man ears, however, the song of the
hermit thrush IS the divinest melody in
Gods green cathedral of the lacing
boughS. His song possesses that
serene, untroubled ecstacy Of perfect
faith that one hears in the music Of
Palestrina, or just occasionally in Han
del, when he forgot himself and his
harmony-book and scared to nobility.
Almost every one, in describing a
thruShs song, will tell you he heard the
hermit thrush. 1t is ten to one he
really heard the woodthrush, much
commoner bird, whose song is not quite
so beautiful, though even SO it is almost
heartbreakingly, unexpectedly lovely.
think the name hermit thrush is so
poetic that it positively begs you to
roll it on your tongue, and that is why
the hermit thrush gets all the praise,
the humber woodthrush none. The
hermit thrush is, indeed, hermit in
the sense that he prefers deep, lonely
woods, but he is no misanthrope; it is
easy to make his acquaintance in early
dawn.
At such q time, when other birds
are settling down with sleepy chitter-
ings, or hunting the elusive worm and
gnat the hermit thrush will take his
unseen station in the leaves and lift
his voice. It is in reality very pow
erful voice; he can easily, If all else Is
still, make all the forest ring with his
voice for half mile around; he is sell
dom as near as you think him. Then,
then, indeed, the woods, the airs, the
listening man, IS touched with the
wings of heavenly glory, and if the
thrush could be always heard there
would be In history no wars, and no
injustices.

"I can't remember names" How often
you hear that. If you are one Of those
people who can't remember names, try
associating the name with some pecu-
liar trait about the person. If the name
is Brown associate brown with his
brown eyes or some other fact of his
general appearance. The more odd and
unusual the thing you select the
stronger will be the association and
the more effective in recall.
Sometimes when you can't recall the
name of a person. you say to yourself,
LET me think Where did meet this
man?" And as soon as you think OF
the place or the peculiar circumstances
involved you think of the name through
the law of association. The more OF
these associations you have the quicker
you will recall the name.
At times these associated circum-
stances are more easily recalled than
the name. Thinking intently about
these circumstances helps to recall the
uNme for the following reason: In at
T6mpting to recall a name We are try
ing to drive nervous impulse through

Black Swans.

Nearly every swan we see is white
SO that we are in the habit of thinking
that preference for blends rules among
birds of this sort But a large flock OF
black swans has recently been imported
from New Zealand to compare with
the albino birds so famous for their
long, curved neckS.
Every now and then we meet a
black swan, which may be either male
or female, swan or swain If that's what
they are called. These dark birds are
different from the rest of the flock.
They are exceptions to the rule of
bipeds whether these wear feathers
like birds or are just human beings.
Exceptional people are interesting.
Eccentric people are not. The eX-
ceptional person, if superior, is some
thing to admire. His or her talents are
marks to shoot at, like the voice
of the prina donna or the face OF the
star actress. But if they are only &C.
centric, they are so many pests.
Black sheep in the flock have a poor
reputation because they are bad, or are
supposed to be. Black swans, such as
we are speaking of, may be all right
when it comes to conduct, but they
annoy us by their oddities.
Among these black swans are the
cranks. or people who differ with the
rest of us Just for the sake of being
disagreeable Nothing suits them ex-
cept themselves. They are ready to
criticize all others and they do it so
thoroughly that they have no criticism
left for themselves.
These eccentric people may assume
that they are living up to their ideals,
which wouldn't be so bad if it were so
and if they didn't insist upon having
other people live up to these same
ideals. Ideals, like exceptional people,
are of unquestionable value, but when
a person strives to implant his favorite
notions into our minds, we resent the
interference.
It is an art to be different" When
a person is superior in beauty, manners
or talents the difference is something
to command admiration. But when one
is different just for the sake of not
being like others, he has botched the
art.
There is sufficient individuality among
birds of the same color to make it
unnecessary to introduce black swans
or yellow diamonds.

an impulse through an associated cen
ter and hope that the impulse will go
from there into the name center. II 1t
will not go from one we try another
and another, until finally we hit upon
one which does slip over into the name
center. The more associated centers
we have, the greater the probability
that from some one of them the i'm
pulse will slip over. These associated
centers will turn the trick, because when
learning the name nervous impulse
has passed between the two centers,
thus diminishing the resistance between
them and making the passage easier.
The conditions just described have to
do with names only partially learned,
and, therefore, hard to recall. But IL
often happens that We are unable to
recall names we know as well as our
own, and, indeed, sometimes man may
be temporarily unable to recall his own
name, even though he is perfectly well
and sober.
In a case of this kind there is
mental blocking. Two names start two
impulses going over the track that Is
necessary for the right name to travel
in order to get to consciousness, with
the result that neither is able to get
