Because it is supposed to be fash- ionable to go somewhere out of one's | usual surrounding for the honey-| moon, hundreds of luckless young and who are burning for the delight of beginning housckeeping in their new home, find themselves driven in- to uncomfortable lodging, or strange hotels, among surroundings where ‘they feel neither happy nor at ease, to spend a time together in which lthey are thrown entirely upon each gther's society, and have none of the interests of their everyday life to oc- cupy them. § the honeymoon a failure? Not the honeymoon itself, if it is properly treated. The sweetness of the first month ought..to last through the whole of married life, no matter how Jong that life endures. All that the honeymoon means is not a failure, but the carrying of it out into prac- tical detail very often is. After all, how many married people On account of the supreme impor- | tance of knowing, in advance, whether | can ill be sparcd by many a busy|candidates for the acroplane service | possess these requisites, the French or should aiford, and, to conclude army authorities have adopted a num- * with, it i8 often anything but an un- | ber of testing devices, one of which | is shown in the accompanying photo- | graphs, Three of these instruments are used One of them is the | people who don't care for traveling, | ‘pneumograph” (breath marker). It records the rate of the respirations, | which varies with both the degree of fatigue and the nervous tension i actuated through a girdle around the | breast which responds to every move- simultaneously. ment of the lungs. Another is the “doightier” (finger- piece), which grasps the first two fingers of the left hand, and records Itis| | taken by him to respond to the sound. | In the same way his quickness of | response to impressions on the eye | |and on the sense of touch is measured. | | An acceptable candidate stops the | pointer within 15-100th of a second in the case of touch or hearing, within 19-100ths in that of sight. Re- | | jected candidates run from 17-100ths 39-100ths for touch, and 22-100ths to 48-100ths for sight. Still another test is that of fatigue of the arms and hands, which is de- | termined by the “ergograph” (work indicator) of Mosso and Camus. The ‘tand|dale lays his right hand, palm upward, on the table before him, in- serts a finger in a finger-stall and by bending the finger lifts a weight at- tached to an apparatus in which a self-recording pen traces on a revolv- and | to 33-100ths for hearing, 20-100ths to | | French fried potatoes, crisp and golden brown and piping hot, served with broiled chops, ham or bacon, plate of pancakes in which the but- ter melts away, and coffee served with yellow cream comprise a substantial breakfast, perhaps, but a perfect one.

The third is the t“trembler,” which is held in the right hand, and which registers tremors very much as a seismograph, or earth- quake recorder, indicates the slightest movements of the ground and the un- derlying rocks of the earth’s shell, The special purpose of this last in- strument is to show the degree of steadiness of the nerves, and their con- trollability under the impulse of a shock. measurement of the number o | finger is “tired out.” the account of |ing disk a curve that gives a graphic 1 ) ?bend- ings and the time elapsed before the Of course, strength and endurance Iof arms, wrists and fingers are of | special importance for the airman, on incessant demands made by the controlling levers of an aeroplane.

Pagtel blue is charming over petal rose chiffon. Hand-painted floral still seen on hats. White silk gloves will be worn again this summer. Bottle green and beige make a pleasing combination. Delicate shades of horsehair are still in favor for hats. Sports coatfi of taffeta come in del- icate blues and pinks. Square cut necks are finished with white aeroplane collars. Black brassieres are either plain or trimmed with lace or net. Blazer stripes are used as trim- mings on children’s hats. A great deal of ribbon is used on the fashionable nightgown. White gauntlet gloves of kid, em- broidered in colors, are smart. A fashionable fantasy is a tulle frilled cape for summer wear. The wide petticoat is coming into its own at a very rapid rate. Flesh color is often used to trim navy blue, withexcellent effect. Smocking on the hips carries out the idea of fullness of the skirt. Fashionable spring frocks trimmed with coftee-colored laces. Bands of cretonne make pretty trimming for the little girl's dress. Straw and flowered linen make a pretty combination for a child’s hat. Mole fur is a favorite for summer wear, partly on account of its neutra} color. A fawn-like brown paper is a pop- ular shade for a spring or summer dress.

Don’t wait to be introduced to him, or even address him by his common name, “Shoo Fly,” for if you do he will be all over the butter and into your coffee, but shoot him on the spot as though he had hauled down the American flag! Why should we treat a friendly visitor, who has simply invited him- self to breakfast, in such an inhos- pitable, not to say fergcious, fashion? First, because he himself like Artemus Ward’s Injuns, “pizen wher- ever found.” Second, and even more importantly, because he is the forerunner, the po- tential ancestor, of all the swarming millions that will buzz and crawl and blacken our food all through the sum- mer's heat. It does seem at first sight rather cruel to advocate killing at sight, every chance we get, a feeble, harm- less-looking little insect, buzzing hap- pily from plate to plate and from nose to nose. Especially as it was a part of the sentimental training of the young in kindness to animals to be particularly merciful to flies, fishing them out of the milk jug, or the honey jar, and placing them on the sunny window-sills, where they could dry their wings and fly away rejoicing. We even used to be taught a tag of moral Mother Goose, “'Tis God hath made the little fly, And if you crush it, it will dle.” But modern science has discovered the true nature of the fly, what a pestilent, little filth-carrying reptile he is, and entirely declines to recognize him as one of God's good creatures. to whom it is our duty to be kind. It is much more inclined to agree with the Mohammedan proverb, which de- clares that “Flies are the sweat of the devil.” Furthermore, if God ‘created the fly, it is man that has made him dangerous and furnished him places to breed in, by his dirty and untidy habits. The fly is one of our domes- tic animals. We have created him as he is, and it is up to us to wipe him out. To paraphrase Kipling, “He was not made with the mountains, Ho Is not one with the deep. Man, not God, hath made him, ‘And men not Gods must sweep"—him off the earth. From the point of view of cruelty to animals, it 1s a positive kindness to kill the early fly, for by one swift, painless swat you prevent the myriad slaughter and agony of his hundreds and thousands of future descendants by hunger in fly traps, by agonizing thirst on sticky fly paper, by drown- ing, by poisoning, by burning. The best way to prevent flies in their dog- day swarms is to put a stop to them he{orc they happen by killing the patriarchs of all their tribes in early June.
