Deco- rators know that the smaller the room the more important it is to keep to a simple color scheme. The same principle might be applied to the field of little girls' clothes. In many of the shops wkere chil- dren's clothes are sold it is possible to buy hats and coats in sets.

John Paul Jones, commander of the United States ship Providence, now crulsing in these waters in search of enemy merchantmen and supply ships, prepared today a report for the marine committee on a miraculous escape which he made from a Brit- ish warship four days ago and on the capture of a brigantine last evening. He say “On the 1st current T fell in with & fleet of five sail. One of them being very large, it was the general opinion on board here that she was either an old Indiaman, outward bound, with stores, or a Jamaica three-decker bound homeward. We found her to he an English frigate, mounting 26 guns upon one deck. She sailed fast and pursued us by the wind, till, after four hours' chase, the sea running very cross, she got within musket shot of our lee quarter. As they had con- tinued firing at us from the first, without showing colors, I now ordered ours to be hoisted, and began to fire at them. Upon can color his they also hoisted Ameri- rd fired guns to leeward. BEDTIME STORIES Reddy Sees the Horse. A fish, no matter what its name.

Tomorrow’s planetary aspects are adverse, and indicate that it is neces- sary for you to exercise an unusual degree of self-control if you expect to derive the customary amount of pleasure and satisfaction from Sun- day observances and recreations. You will feel irritable and little trifles will annoy you, out of all proportion to their real significance. Children born tomorrow will, unless great care be given to their nutrition and surroundings, never attain that vigorous adulthood desired by ali parents for their offspring. In infancy they will be puny and weak. 1In their ‘teens they will be subject to a variety of aflments, the outcome of which will depend on their ability “to fight and to win." The importance of regulated alimentation for these children can- not be overdressed. In spite, ho ever, of their physical defects, their characters will be very attractive. | They will be patient, affectionate and {unselfish.

The Young Girl Who Is Jealsus of Her Fiance’s Business. The Happy Wife of Twenty-two Whose Husband Is Seventy-nine. 2 EAR MI DIX: 1 am thinking of leaving my husband. but before doing so, want your advice. He is thorcughly selfish. For years I have done everything I could for his happiness «nd comfort, but he never thinks of mine. He is niggardly to me. He ne.er gives me any money, only barely what I can run the house on. and he growls over the price of evervthing. But he boasts of how much he gives t . charity, what he gives to his friends and how he helps boys and girls throug h'school. He allows his secretary to open v letters and read them, and this sec- retary treats me as an interloper when I go te the office. I do not know how far the intimacy between my husbard and this woman goes, as he gets furious if 1 ask him about it. Yet I love my husband in spite of his faults, Shall I leave him or not? HEARTBROKEN. Answer—Divorce isn't a panacea for a bruised heart, my dear. and if You still love your husband 1 think you would be far more miserable sep- arated from him than you are with hin. Certainly a selfish, self-centered. sgotistical man is hard to get along with, and he is bound to get on his wii: s nerves, and make her feel that the rd is just to be done with him, and to go where she will never be aggravated b: him any more. \While their hearts are hot and angry, and they are rebel. ng at the injustice that they have to suffer. many women rush to the divorce courts and sever the bands that-bind them to their husbands. But they seldom find that a decree absolute brings the absolute peace and happiness they expected. They find tLat the divorced woman has no settled place in society: nowhere to. go, and that she is neither fish, nor flesh. nor goud red herrin Moreover, the divorced woman gererally finds that she has to go to work and make a living for herself, and som times she does not know what to turn her hand to. ILven if she has worked jefore marriage, she is out of practice and not able to compete with the smar young girls. And then she is lonely. She is used to companionship, apd the time is sure to come when she will feel that the society of even a grumpy husband is better than no society at all, It is a terribly serious matter frcm evel husband, and I advise every woman to think she takes the fatal step.

You will make one of the wives who are always talking about their husbands’ “horrid old offices,”” who ac. as if they were martyrs who were ruthlessly sacrificed to their husband’'s business, and yet who are keen enough for all the money that their Lusbands can make. And there is no greater pest than that type of wife. For you will make one of the No man can succeed whose wife i3 always fighting his business, who is always putting obstacles in his way #nd whining and complaining because he attends to his job, instead of running around with her to places of amuse- ment.

In that way you will help him to suc- ceed, and he will adore you because you are part of his success.

One of the most promising marrit ges I ever knew was broken up by a young bride who was forever on the tolephone, saying, “Darling, won't you come home? I'm just 5o lonesome, I can't stand it by myself.” At first the man answered, “Sweetness, I will come as soon as 1 can-get rid of this man 1 am dealing with."

Not the Best Friend Always. “Ina is the best friend a girl could have,” says Leonore. “She stan by me through anything and every thing. She takes my part against every one. When I'm in any sort of trouble, I can always go to her and know she'll stand up for me, no mat- ter what I've done. She always thinks I'm right, and she always makes an enemy of my enemy Ina’s friendship may be very com- forting, but it isn't especially valuable, did Leonore know it. Lil- lan is a much better friend, although she's disappointed Leonore on sev- eral occasions when the latter has gone seeking sympathy. fillian, afted lstening to her friend’s outburst, has very often sur- prised the other with some such re- mark as: “Well, I must say you be- haved like an awful nut, Leonore. You can’t expect Tom to take that sort of treatment all his life. You ought to apologize to him—not he’ to you." On these occasions TLeonore has stormed and raved and called Lilly a bad friend, and left in high dud- geon to tell her troubles to Ina. Ina has a_very different song to sing: “You poor dear, whateyer in | the world could he have been think- ing of to talk to you like that? I'd never have anything to do with him again, if I were you. The beast—I hate him anyway. He's no good.” This sort of stuff satisfies Leonore perfectly. It convinces her that Ina {is on her side—is really her best | friend, her closest ally, etc. Whereas, there are two explanations of Ina's conduct—both of them unfavorable. Either Ina is one of these hot-headed. impulsive people, whose* hearts are too big for their judgments—ar she's es” girl, the kind of person 8 wants to agree with her friends—who takes sides with her chum always because it's the easiest and most diplomatic thing to do. If she is the hot-headed kind, her judgment certainly isn't to be pended upon. Leonore shouldn't rush to her for advice—because Ina w'll never have anything of real value to contribute, If she's the “ves" girl type, still less should Leonore depend on her. For the “yes” girl sides with one side one day, and goes over into the enemy’s camp the next day with honeyed words. The friend who al- ways thinks vou're right must be either blinded by sentiment or a hypocrite. No one can think that any girl is alwavs right. Lillian is the friend to whom ILeo- nore should cling—the guide to whom to turn for adv Lillian’s clear thinking will get her stormy, impul- | | sive friend out of many bad scrapes. Ina’s instant defense—her immediate anger’ at Leonore’s enemy-—will only perpetuate many battles which ought to die or to be ended by an apology on Leonore’s part. Your most sym- vathetic chum—the girl who assures you that you can do no wrong—is not always your best friend. Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Diseased Tonsils. It is quite natural for mothers to Af('m' any trouble which may inevi- tably lead to an operation. While w believe that there is more ‘‘cuttin; than necessary done to the human body, we do not believe in hiding our head, like an ostrich, and refusing to ! look things in the face. All of which by devious ways is leading up to the question of tonsils. What shall one do about them when it has been | found, through recurring and frequent colds and sore throats, that the toi sils are diseased” This is a fairly easy thing to answer, because if one is sure that the tonsils are diseased. |it is belleved that the best method is to remove them. There is always some one who will larise at this point and flatly “But the tonsils must have heen put |in the body for some purpose, and | therefore you upset this purpose when i you remove them.” The tonsils, in a | healthy state, are supposed to be a jsort of grand general siever at the gateway of the throat. They stand there and strain the invading bacteria jand refuse admittance to such as seem especially injurfous. turally, a nice, healthy tonsil can battle most competently with even the most vicious germ. but what hap pens when a germ gets the best of the tonsil and reduces it to a state of dis. ease” Obviously, it is no good & longer as a policeman and. in addi- tion, its own weakened condition en- courages germs to cuddle around it and fairly flaunt their supremacy. Tonsils which exude famllies of germs into the general circulation are 'cer. tainly unsafe to keep around.
