26 BY MARY MARSHALL. OQur grandmothers believed that ehfldren should be seen but not heard. While today, at least as far as adult soclal life Is concerned, the idea seems to be that children should neither be seen nor heard. And this 18, of course, highly beneficial to the children, who in homes where money abounds usually lead an almost com- Pletely separate existence. Especial- 1y strong is the feeling nowaday that children should not take part in adult soclal activities, and the one striking exception to this rule seems to be weddings. A wedding does complete any more without a few children. Nephews and n are cherished for this purposc, and som times very pretty little girls and boy are asked to take part in many wed- ding processions until they become quite familiar with the quaint words of the ceremony. Dressing the little page or diminu- tive bridesmaid is a delightful task, and the children themselve the occasion as an adventure similar to that of Halloween. The sketch shows the costume chosen for a lit- tle boy and girl who took part re- cently in a smart wedding. From head to feet the littie girl was dres: ed in silver—with tiny silver slippers and a simple little silver turban. The little boy acting as her ier was dressed in a suit of blue faille with white lace. There is always chance at charm- ing originality in sciecting these little bridal costumes, though the best results are usually obtalned ‘when one goes back to old portraits of children for inspiration. The E pire period offers most charming amples—little girls in_ filmy light frocks, long-skirt isted, Wwith tiny puft slee in long trousers, white s frilled shirts MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. not seem to be Banishing the Culprit.

Its character will be very dependable, its disposition more serious than gay. its mentality quick and active. This child will, at a very early age, show signs of its dependability by being truthful and absolutely frank. In order to prevent too much seriousness disposition, it should be persuad- d to associate as much as possible with children of a similar age. It will be quick to learn and will suc- ceed in any vocation that it may choose. If today is your birthday, you have severa' reliable qualifications, and are conscientious and painstaking. You have an exaggerated sense of duty, and at times make life not only irk- some for yourself, but also for those associated with you, If a woman, and a married one, you are disposed to conduct your house in such a way as to make it less of a home than a residence. You are excessively methodical and tidy and resent the lack of these virtues in your husband and children, with the Tesult that they are at all times the unwilling victims of your criticism and fault-finding. This induces hard feelings, as the upstanding character principies which you possess in so marked a degree are forgotten and overlooked, while the memory of the pin pricks remains. A little less in- sistence on non-essential details and a little more tolerance and forbear- | ance would evoke both happiness and affection. If a man, you carry your rigid ideas of work into your office and expect one and all to be strictly conseci- entious and careful in the discharge of their duties as you are. You have set yourself a very high standard and by dint of perseverance have reached it. You must not, however, anticipate the same degree of excel- lence in every one else, and to be happy you must be more philosophi- cal and not jump to the conclusion that everything is going to the “dem- nition bow-wows" because all are not equally painstaking. Well known persons born on this date are: Eben D. Jordan, merchant; John W. Hoyt, educator; Charles H. Stockton, naval officer; Charles S. Pearce, artist; Augustus C. Bernays, surgeon; Thomas H.

We talked yesterd of restoring the cozy look to o homes as the fall days come along, bringing their bright middays but their chilly night: On of the best ways to bring the visible effect of into the house is spots geous, flaring color that to relest Leal wulo e roou f gor- cne of the best ways to get spots of bright color is by means of flow- ers. If your garden is still behaving as well ‘as mine usually does, you can bring veritable sunshine into your home interior orange marigolds, chrysanthemums, and cosmos. The marigolds especial- ly seem to radiate light and golden color. But. alas, these too will soon be gone (perhaps yours have already been darkened by frost) and from now on we shall have to depend up- on_the florists for our blossoms. There are, however, plants that grow what we might call all-winter flowers. To my mind the most inter- esting of these is the Japanese lan- tern plant. From its slender ste hang pointed pods of a splendid orange vermillion which keep their color the winter through. These are easily grown in the home garden or the back yard; but if you haven't yet planted any you may buy a vaseful from your flo l‘nnd they will rattle a gay accompaniment to your cra, ling fire all through the snowy weather. Bittersweet is a close second as an all-winter bloomer. Its splendid red and yellow berries will certainly “brighten the corner where you are,” as the evangelists sing. If they grow dusty during the winter, hold them under the bath spray until they are clear and shining again. They will cling fast to the branch which holds them. Some persons fancy the dried blooms of hydrangea as an all-winter flower. Personally I think they look very artificial and inartistic, as they are bunchy in form and have no gra- clousness of line. They will keep their color, however, and in a large jar of neutral tone sometimes are ‘en- joyed. Straw flowers, if of good color when gathered and arranged attractively, make a good all-winter bouquet. It is a good idea, however, to move all these permanent bouquets about once in a while and not leave them stand- ing in the same place, as one does grow a bit tired of them in time, and if their position is changed they pro- duce an effect of being different themselves. - Deviled Oysters. Take one pint of oysters, add a little water, and boil until plump. Remove the tough muscles from the oysters and reserve the liquid in which the oysters were boiled. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, add three tablespoonfuls of flour, and stir until well blended. Then pour on gradually, while stirring constantly, enough of the oyster liquid to make one cupful.

Y is it’ that women are so much better judges of men than men are of women? Why is it thai women are attracted to a man by \\ihat is within his soul and brain, while men look only at & woman's hair and complexion? Men will answer these conundrums by denying they exist, but every woman knows better. Every woman knows that the erage man judges a woman solely by her external rance, and tha. it is better for a woman who wants to marry to have a lowy figure and a gift for clothes than for her to be a model of all the virtues and a college president in the bargain. Women never cease marveling at the qualities in women that attract men. and that cause men to pick out the women who possess these attributes for wives, because these same qualities In a man would bore a woman to tears, and she would not willingly bring down on her head the calamity of having a husband who was affiicted with them. You can seo this difference in the point of view of the sexes at any social function. Only the pretty girls receive any attention from the men. The homely ones line the walls. You cannot imagine any good-looking young devoting himself to a girl who'is fat and red-faced and triple- chinned and bald-headed, no matter how wise and witty she may be. If women were like men, and they put the taboo on every man who wasn't young and slim and who didn’t have varnished hair and look like the advertisement of Kollege Kut clothes, no hostess could scrape together enough couples to give a dinner party, and there would be nothing stirring in society. But women use greater Intelligence in measuring men than men do in measuring women, and they put good looks at their rightful place in the scale—desirable, but not necessary, and far outclassed by a dozen other attractions. WOMAN doesn't care what color a man’s halr is, or whether he has any hair at all, so long as he has brains in his head. A woman doesn't even 100k at a man's waistline if he can hand out an entertaining line of conversation. A woman isn't half so interested in the size of a man's collar as she is in the size of his heart, and the thing that attracts her to a man 1s not his being easy on the eyes, but easy to trust. Homeliness is no bar to any man winning any woman he wants for a i wife provided he has the intelligence and charm of manner, and the strength and manliness that women set far above personal appearance in their | judgment of a man, but an ugly woman has practically no chance at all of ever being noticed by any man, no matter what beauties of heart and soul and intellect she may posse Among my acquaintances are several women who have every desirable quality that a_woman can possess, except beaut are clever and cultured; they bubble over with humor and good nature; they and are the most interesting and fascinating of companion domestic; they are affectionate and sympathetic and understanding. They would make the most wonderful wives in the world. Their husbands would be petted and made much of: would have wives who would make them perfect homes and who would help them in every way. Their husbands would never know a dull moment at home, never be bored, for they would find in their wives the most stimulating of chums. But nature gave these women plain faces and, in consequence, the men | have passed them by. They have never had a beau, never a proposal of marriage. Men have ridden by their doors and married doll-faced little fools | of whom they tired before the honeymoon was over. | JOMEN would not have been that idiotic. If these friends of mine had been men, and 10 times as homely as they are, but had possessed the intclligence and cbarm they Lave, women would have luved them and been proud and glad to have married them. The less sense a woman has, the more she seems to appeal to men. The I she knows, the better they like her. The girls who talk baby talk and look at men with big, round calflike eyes, and esk silly questions, bave men flooking around them like fles about & honey pot, and can marry whom they choose. But male ldiots make no appeal to women. Women loathe ignorant men. Masculine morons do not fascinate them; they disgust them. Of course, after a man gets married to a woman he would like to have all the good qualities of her sex thrown in, as a chromo goes with a package of tea. He wants a wife who has Intelligence enough to run her end of the domestic partnership. He wants a wife who is an interesting companion and who {s a thrifty manager, but the trouble is that he doesn't seek these attributes in the first place. They are not what attracted him to the woman, not what induced him to marry her. That is why the women who are calculated to make the best wives seldom get the opportunity of being wives at all. That is why marriage is s0 often a failure and there are so many divorces. And that is .why, if convention ever permits women to select their mates, we shall have more suitable and happier marriages, for women have greater sense about men than men have about women.

Because he was smart enough to get them, I'm #lad he did get them. But we can't let_him have any more” The eyes of Farmer Brown twin- kled. “How are you going to prevent it?” he asked. “You can't sit up every night to watch that melon patch, and Old Man Coyote appears to be’ smart enough to get a melon in spite of you.” “T've thought it all out” replied Farmer Brown's Boy. “First of all I'll pick all the melons that are ripe. Then I'll leave Bowser tied out there at night. Old Man Coyote won't get any melons within the space that Bowser can cover. Then I'll set traps, steel traps, around the other melons.” “But I thought you believed that steel traps were terrible things,” said Farmer Brown.

Farmer Brown asked. “He won't be caught” Farmer Brown's Boy. o caught. If I thought he would I wouldn't set them. But he won't get any melons either. Old Man Coyote is too smart to be caught in any of those traps. He'll find them and then he'll keep away. You wait and see.” So that afternoon Farmer Brown's Boy set steel traps all around the melons which were beyond the length of the cord that held Bowser the Hound. The next morning he was up bright and early to look at those traps. He found footprints of Old Man Coyote around every .trap. But not one of those traps had been B — HE DIDN'T VISIT THAT MEL- ON PATCH AGAIN AFTER THE DIS- COVERY OF THOSE TRAPS. find and keep out of those traps.

I knew I wouldn’t catch him. He didn't fool me, but I fooled him. I guess those melons will be safe now, and Old Man Coyote will keep away from them.” Farmer Brown's Boy was right. Old Man Coyote had once been caught in a steel trap and he had no inten- tion of taking any chances of being caught again. He didn’t visit that melon patch again after the discov- ery of those traps.
