The “Feraghan featura” a distinctive floral arrangement show- ing a spray of flowers set at regular intervals upon the field, also helps to distinguish the Feraghan product. Upon these stalks, which are stiff and upright, are set six blossoms of five or six petals each, in light colors which contrast sharply with the color of ‘the background. A conventional- ized rose and an indication of a trellis are also often seen in the Feraghan rugs. Some of these Feraghan rugs are well made, some are not. But good workmanship and good materials are always seen in the original Herati rugs. | Herati rugs are sometimes spoken | of as Khorassan, but this classifica- | tion is both incorrect and confusing, since the Khorassan style is one en- | tirely different and quite as impor- tant as the Herati.

EAR DOROTHY DIX: T am very much in love with a young man who seemed for a while to be much in love with me—was always coming to see me and making dates with me. Then he began breaking appointments with me, but always had a good excuse. And he told me that if I cared to have dates with gny of the other fellows to go ahead, it would be perfectly | all right with him. Now he has come back to me, and seems to care for me as much as ever. I think that our break was mainly my fault, for I have a terrible temper, and get angry very easily. This young man used to speak to me about my temper and beg me to control it, but I just snapped him off when he spoke of it. Also I have been badly spoiled by my parents. Do vou think this young man really loves me and wants to marry me? He has never spoken of marriage sxcept in a joking way. TRMA. Answer: A woman's common Sense alone can determine whether a man breaks an engagement with her through rudeness and contempt for her or through necessity. The man who makes an appointment with a woman and then fails to keep it because something else pleasanter presents itself offers her an unforgivable insult. But, on the other hand, a.woman Is| most unreasonable who does not recognize that business or personal affaigs often come up unexpectedly and make it impossible for a man to keep & social engagement with a girl. So that's that. t As for the young man not wishing to monopolize your society and leaving you free to go about with other young men until he is actually engaged to you, that shows that he is a gentleman and a man of honor. He recognizes that it does a girl immeasurable harm for her name to be linked with that of 2 man who hasa't made up his mind whether he wants to marry her or not. | Probably the real explanation of the young man's'attitude is that you) fascinate him, but he is afraid to marry you on account of your temper, for there is nothing else on carth of which a man is so much afraid as he is of a virago. Nor is there anything else that so disillusions a man as to see a girl in a rage, her face distorted with anger, her voice shrill and high, her tongue saying mean and cruel things. She would no more disgust him if she were maudlin drunk, and he thinks a long time before he commits himself to a lifetime of such a spectacle. No man's ideal of a wife is a shrew who makes scenes, who has to be handled with gloves to keep her from getting peeved and who keeps him in terror of her tongue lashings. I should say that the best way to get your voung man back, and to hold him, is to convince him that you have conquered the devil within you and have learned to control your temper. DOROTHY DIX. ce e A EAR MISS DIX: I have been married 13 years and have five children. My husband has béen a good man, devoted to his family, and we have been very happy until now. But recently he has become infatuated with a He spends all he makes on her and tells me that woman of bad character. he does not care for me, and that he wants me to give him his freedom But we have no money. T cannot support the ohildren alone, and, besides, I love him with my whole heart. The children cannot understand what is | wrong with the daddy they worship. What shall 1 do BROKEN-HEARTED WIFE. Answer: Just be patient. Sit tight. Shut your eyes to what your husband is doing. Quit nagging him about the other woman. Stop discussing the situation with him at all. Try to think of him with pity as a sick man, who is out of his head for the time being, and it will all come out right in the end. He wil] get over his fancy for the other woman and come back to you and the children an humble and a chastened man, and you will have the whip hand over him the balance of your life, because he will be so ashamed of what he has done that he will be in an apologetic attitude toward vou. This is a hard piece of advice to follow, but desperate cases need desperate remedies. and there is no easy way out of a difficulty such as yours. T believe in the righteousness of divorce, but I don't believe in its efficacy always, especially in a case like yours. All it would do for you would be for you to lose your husband forever and to leave vou with five helpless children on your hands. As long as you are married to a man, the law forces him to support you and your children, but no money in the world is 80 hard to collect as alimony. Besides this, any man whose children love him must be worth saving. He must have something good and kind and tender in his soul under the selfishness and weakness which make him indulge his passions dt the | expense of his family, and that make him the easy mark of a designing | woman. That type of man soon tires of philandering. He vearns for home | and *his faithful wife and the feel of little children's arms around his neck, and he repents his folly in sackcloth and ashes. | T grant you it is not easy to forgive the erring husband, but when there are children, it is often better to forgive him than lose him. Let | watchful waiting be your policy, Broken-hearted Wife, and in time you shall regain your own again. DOROTHY DIX. PRPSN EAR DOROTHY DIX: I am 23 years old. 1 am good-looking and dress | well, but 1 never have any fun. I never go anywhere except to my | office and back again, and I nearly die of lonesomeness. How can I get acquainted with some nice young man? LONESOME. Answer: Every woman has to do her own man stalking, my dear. unless she is lucky enough to have a managing mamma. Business offices are full of men and should be a happy hunting ground. Thackeray said that any woman who didn’t have an actual hump on her back could marry any man she pleased. How much more easy, then, for the pretty, well-dressed girl to be able to attract the artention of young fellows who would be glad to | make dates with her. DOROTHY DIX.

Peter Rabbit had been mueh im- pressed by the humble way in which Reddy Fox had stepped aside for Old Man Coyote and the lordly way in which Old Man Coyote had gone on about his business with hardly a glance at Reddy Fox. He had treated Reddy as if Reddy hadn't existed. “I guess” said Peter to himself, “that Old Man Coyote rules in the Old Pasture. I guess there is no one here to whom he thinks it is worth while being polite. It must be a fine feeling, this feeling that you can go where you please and have to step aside for no one.” Very early the next morning Peter was sitting in that same place, the bramble-tangle at the bend in the old cowpath. He was wondering if Old Man Coyote would come along again. Of course, he was watching for him. Presently he saw him coming.

The truth is, Reddy had suspected that Old Man' Coyote might be in the habit of using that path every morning, and so this morning he had kept away from that particular path.
