ROUTING EVIL
THOUGHTS
BY Lucy Lowell.

It is a self-evident truth that
two objects cannot occupy the
same space at the same time.
If, therefore, you wish to pre-
vent some one placing an ob
jectionable thing in a given
space, you have but to put some
thing which pleaseS you there
first.
I know a young wife who has
spent much thought and un-
limited tact upon the task of
preventing her husband from
installing a great, ugly old desk
in a corner of one of her pretty
rooms. There is no reason for
the desk being in their home at
all; it long ago passed its use
fulness; it is ramshackle and
ponderous and completely out
of keeping with the beautiful
things she has gathered about
them.
But some curious stubborness
in the husband causes him to
hang to the desk, and every
so often he considers some bit
of space for the purpose Of
dragging in the desk and
setting it up.
The wife does not waste
words. When she sees what her
husband is about she promptly
shifts furniture and the space
suddenly is filled with a grace
full table, an inviting chair and
lamp or perhaps couch ar
ranged to add to the symmetry
of the room.
Thus ugliness is kept out of
her home by her own sense Of
beauty.
Thoughts are the objects of
the mental realm and quite as
the wife manipulates chairs and
tables is it possible so to use
thoughts Of goodwill that there
will be no place for malice, fear.
hatred-all the evils in our
consciousness.
If the mind is filled with
love how can hatred set up
occupancy in it? If truth is
firmly installed, what room is
there for falsehood? If har-
mony fills the thought how can
disorder come in?
Only be sure that you fill
your mind with goodwill be-
fore evil has a chance to gain
a resting place. 1t is easier to
keep wrong out than to move
it once it is established.

TIMELY WORDS
ON PROPER
ETIQUETTE
BY Mrs. C. Beeckman

BY Mrs. C. Beeckman
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/: At a banquet given in honor
Of a prominent man, is 1t proper
for a woman to introduce her
self to the guest of honor?
2. Is 1t proper for one to
start a conversation with the
guests across the table, al.
though they have never for
mally been introduced?
3. Is it considered very Ina
polite to add water to ones
coffee when It is too hot?
4. When dining out with 0
man, should the lady give her
order to the waitress, or should
the man give both orders?
S. At a table when the
waitress passed around q dish,
and one does not wish to par
take of it, is is proper to say,
"No, thank you" or what is
the proper way to refuse?
8. After q lecture or solo
performance at O club meet
ing, is it proper for one Of the
audience to express her ap-
probation to the performer or
:. Is it proper for any one
to thank a newspaper man
for a favorable criticism Of

l.. Yes.
2. Yes, when all Of the
guests are vouched for by being
at the same table, for instance
in a home or at a club.
3. Yes. This is never good
form, and shouldn't be done.
The coffee will cool in a minute
or two.
4. The woman gives her order
to the man, her host, and he
gives both orders to the waiter.
5. Your remark is correct.
However, if you az dining in q
home, it is better form to take
some Of everything that is
passed, even if you only nibble
at it after you have taken it on
your plate.
6. Yes. And most gracious

"Cecile? Oh She's
gone way. Her nerves, you
know. She's awfully nervous.
She went on a trip. It was all
planned before-befQre. And
there wasn't any use staying
here, you see. She-she couldn't
change matters So
she's gone. Last night. I think
it was. I'm sort of mixed on

tangled"
Ardeth put the key in the
lock and pushed him gently

shop. .....,...
She lit the lamp in the back
room and looked at Ken. She
saw then that he was dazed
with fatigue. His face was
white and it shone moist in

What have you been doing,

ODD WALKING
LEAF

The walking leaf, an insect
species the female in which has
disguised herself to resemble
vegetative life probably more
cleverly than any other, comes
originally from the Island Of
Ceylon, but has been raised in
Europe, whence eggs have been
imported to America. When the
young emerge from the eggs
they are very active and a
bright red in color, says Nature
Magazine, they do much walking
about, but do not begin to eat
until they are about one week
old. A week later they have be-
gun to turn brown, and by the
time a fortnight has passed, the
females are green, which color
they maintain until they perish.
The older and larger they get
and they grow to be four inches
long-the more do they resemble
a leaf. In their native country
they feed on tea leaves and
leaves of certain species Of
lemon trees. -.

THE BEAUTY BOX
By Helen FOllett-

Bored ladies affect the coun-
tenance of the craven image.
What for and why? The inter
esting face is one that shows
fleeting expressions, changes,
lights and shadows. Even q
homely psysiognomy takes on
a glow of beauty when it ex-
presses warm, human feelings.
Ordinary manners demand that
when one is in the company
of others one will appear to be
interested. People who are al
ways bored are bores them
selves.
If a lazy girl slumps and
slouches enough she will have a
body so out of alignment that
she won't be able to straighten

of habit. BY practicing the erect
pose, keeping the chest high,

taking the slack out Of the
backbone. the time will come
when the body will assume the
proper posture without being
dictated to by the brain. Round
shoulders and the concaved
chest retard the work of the
inner organs.
When wrinkles have broken
down the youthful lines Of
the face, when necks have
gone blooey or double chius

larly important that a woman
should have a beautifully
waved coiffure. Only the very
young can get away with
straight hair. sleeked back in
severe fashion. The oldsters
must have undulations and
lovely head lines.

COLORS AND
THRIFT

For the room that must be
furnished out of a small bud
get, color character is Of major
Importance. Given a fine wall
color, and a good, clean con
trast of color in rug, draperies
or furniture covers, you can
have a livable and interesting
room for a moderate sum of
money.
Wall color should be chosen
, with regard for the amount OF
light the room receives. Where
there is plenty of sunlight, a
soft green is a happy choice.
In such a room a solid color
rug in a green a little darker
and deeper than the walls.
would be effective. with bright
chintz curtains and one or two
of larger upholstered pieces
providing the color contras:.
Another interesting treatment
would be to- let the rug carry
the burden of color diversity
with a big chair or, preferably
a couch. repeating the wall
green in a deeper tone.
Color will do the lions share
of the decorative work in a
room, if it is properly used A
charming atmosphere may be
established by using interesting
color contrasts in large areas.
Once this is achieved, you need
but one or two good key places
of furniture, and the others
may be inexpensive.
Stained piano keys should be
washed with methylated spirit
and polished with chamois
iaather.
