No woman whose mind is restless, who has not accepted with gracious- ness the reconciliations between the ~Ideal and the real, has power to give rest. Washing dishes, what a bore! Woman’s drudgery, nothing more, Shake the soap (powder) have water hotâ€"â€" Turn the hose upon the lot. Rinse them well, polish the glasses, My! how fast dishwashing passes. The doctor had come and gone, and! Evelyn was resting, and the household was quieting down after the accident. But up in her room Marcia was fac~ ing one of the biggest battles of her] life. Evelyn Rogers, Marcia’s,“fairy3 princess," for whose three-day visit Marcia had compelled the house and everyone in it to put on holiday garb, would now have to stay for several weeks until she was well enough to be moved. And Uncle Garland and Aunt Lydia were coming next week! They; were dear people, but Uncle Garland~l did all sorts of things with his knife, and fork, and Aunt Lydia said “you‘ was" and “ain’t” and wore ginghamll aprons all the time. And Miss Prissyl Conway would come trailing in and, out, and Nelly Barnumâ€"~31] the neigh-i bors with their everyday grammar and manners and interests. By a greatl effort Marcia had managed to keepl them all away for the three days ofi Evelyn’s visit, but nothing she coulddo could keep them away for three| weeks. l Only the woman whose mind has found rest through discipline, through courage, through strength, can heal the wounds of the disturbed soul. Women who have this power give to their friends the assurance of seâ€" curity. Very many women who de- light toâ€"day displease to-morrow, One is unable to depend on their stability. But the woman who gives rest does not change her attitudes or her con- victions or her moral standards; she is no romanticist, but because she is in tune with life and her own setting she creates harmony around her. For this pOWer does not come from anything as superficial as the pose of languid ease, nor does it belong to the quiet woman who so often i: aisc. the dull woman. inc Marcia sat grimly facing it all. And because she was honest she did more: she faced herself too. Anybody who does that needs to be brave, for he is sure to make unpleasant dis- coverios. “Marcia Eldridge," she said to her- self, “you are a snob! As much as Tes; Clayton, whom you’ve despised mixed Pleasant, kind, lively. interesting She undoubtedly is, but it was a man who explained the attraction which makes her companionship desired by all her friends. “She gives rest,” he said. “And rest is the greatest gift a woman has to give. No one in Helen's presence can long be conscious of life’s enormous disarrays; she heals. Her very pres~ ence is harmonious; she gives a sense of serenity to the restless. That is why every one loves her.” Very few women are able to bestow the gift of peace on those whom they meet in daily life. Discussing half a dozen women friends a few days ago, guests at a little dinner party were surprised to discover the popularity of a woman Whom none had believed to have an original personality. says the Contiâ€" nental edition of “The London Mail."

I’ll take myself away the first minute the doctor will let me. I promise you that!” “Trouble!” Marcia retorted scornâ€" 'fully. “I've discovered something that is trouble! I’ve discovered that ’I‘m a great bigr snob!

Theserrecipes are especially recom- mended by home economic specialists: Green Grapes for Piesâ€"M‘any wo- men are constantly looking for a var- iety of fruit to use for pies during the winter months. And then the two girls were holdâ€" ing each other’s hands, and Marcia was crying, “Oh, aren’t snobs fool~ ish! This makes a concentrated juice which can be diEuted and i refreshing.

Every housewife knows how hard it is to hold the hem to a hemstitched tablecloth after the hemstitching has begun to Wear out, which invariably happens before the rest oz the cloth shows much Sign of wear.

I’m going to ’fess up to Evelyn this minute." DRIED PEACHES HAVE MANY USES.

About thre hundred years ago the Lord of the Manor bequeathed the sum of £1000, the interest from which! was to be voted annually to provide. dowries for four brides. Under the terms of the bequest, the money has to be divided between the youngestH the eldest. the shortest, an dthe tallest brides married during the course at: each year in the parish church. This entails the “measuring of thei bride." After the marriage ceremony} the bride and bridegroom proceed to; the vestry to Sign the register, and the: bride is then measured by the ofiiciat-; ing minister. In order that her cor-_ rect stature may be ascertained. she is required to remove her shoes and let down her hair. At the end of the: year the marriage records are examâ€", ined. and the dowries awarded tol those qualified to receive them. 1 Willieâ€"“Daddy, what is a roll of honor?"

Where W11 e W W Thr Most amateur tricksters know one or two methods of discover- ing the identity of a card selected by a spectator. Here is an ex- cellent method of disclosing the fact of the discovery. In this case another spectator, who does not know which card was selected. names it. An examination of the following wili indicate how the Spectator can be “forced” (to use the magician's term for this pro- ceeding) to name any card the trickster desires him to name. In this case it is the eight of clubs. Observe that the trickster accept: or discards the spectator's choice. Quickly done it is usually decep- tive. 3y "There are two kinds of cards, picture cards and spot cards. Name either." "Picture cards." “Fine. That leaves the spot cards and the card must be a spot card. There are two colors in the pack. Name either." “Black” “Fine, that eliminates the red and the card must be black. There are two kinds of black cards. spades and clubs. Name either." “Spades.” “Fine. that. leaves the clubs and the card must be a club." “There are two kinds of spot clubswodd and even, name either." "Odd." “Then the card must be an even club. the odd clubs having been eliminated. There are even clubs higher than five and lower than five. Name either." "Lower," “Fine, that leaves us the even clubs higher than five. The even clubs are six. eight and ten. We may divide these into a. lower group composed of six and eight and an upper. composed of ten. .‘Jame the upper or lower." "Upper." “Fine, that leaves the lower. Name either six or eight." I! eight is named, the trick is completed. It six is named, the trickster calmly eliminates six. leaving eightâ€"~and the stunt is completed. (0151) this out and pas-la it. with other of the scrics.
