MORE SHARE IN HONORS [ By MELLIFFICIA—September 5. For the maid unwedded, but willing, fashion has devised a new wrinkle in the pretty, ancient custom of throw- ing the bridal bouquet. In many a bridal company there have been long- ing eyes cast on the fateful bouquet as the bride dropped it over the ban- ister into the out-stretched arms of a favored one. Now | there need not be-half so many disappointed looks in the up- turned faces, for the new bridal bou- pet provides a favorable omen for &ree young worffen instead of one. It is made in four parts, that is, four fcorsage bouquets are combined into large shower bouquet, which the idaintily 1ato the hands of four expect- fant friends.

The tired cashier be- hind the railing that is so like a bird | cage, sold me all the aids to corre- spondence left in the stamp box. Just then a sweet thread of a voice | coming from somewhere about the | | ground at our feet, said: “My mamma | | wants two postal cards, please.” | | “Haven't any. Just sold the last| | ones.” The cashier was tired. A long, | | weary business day takes the sweet- | ness out of a woman's voice, It had | put the steel trap quality into hers. A icrowded, waiting desk called me | and 1 was hurrying to it as a molhcr} to a crying child. But we both Im“ ticed something. | It untied the tired muscles in the | | cashier’s face. She looked ten years | younger and far prettier, It held me {to the spot as though I had grown | there. The call of the desk was for- gotten. That something was the child’s smile, She was a little~ creature, “Seven and a half,” she said with evi-| dent pride in the exgra six monghs, hat when she is ofder, she will be glad to forget, She lived just around the corner. Mamma wanted the post cards so that she might write the laundress to call’a day earlier for the clothes, and the woman who_cleaned house to change her day to Tuesday. Mamma would he disappointed. | While she was telling the little house- hold story, she looked up first at the cashier, then at me. Her eyes were wide and trusting. They were brown Brown eyes that are well trained can do a great deal wih a glance. They are linguists, They speak the every- day language of commonplace things, but they speak also the language of sentiment, The brown eyes that I have known best ask for love and always receive it. The child smiled on. The cashier's thought her face a little hard. I saw now that it was tender. 1 watched the child's smile. Ana- Iyzed, as a chemist analyzes a liquid in his laboratory. It was made up of one part trust, one part sunningss of nature, one p nterest in all per- sons and things that crossed its line of vision.

The cashier. and 1 looked at each other and pnderstood. The same thought was in our minds. It was that of Epictetus, the Greek slave philosopher, when he wrote: “What could Parseus, or a single person'do? What does the color pur- ple do for a garment? It is beautifut and gives to everyone who sees it the message of beauty.” That is what a smile does. A real smile that is no mere cracking of the face, no mere showing of the teeth by erceptible effort, is a message that s of the beauty of life. It tells tightly its exaltations, its joys. When that child goes to school her smile will win her teacher and fel- low pupils.

This question is suggested by the following fact: A man standing stiil in a hot mun becomes very warm, and per- haps will be sunstruck; while if he jump into & fast automobile and ride swiftly through the rhys of the sun, he will not get hot, and will feel the effects of the sun ‘much less,!—R. 8. G, Philadelphia, The amoynt of heat received upon l:he earth from the sun is not sensi- bly affected by the movement of the arth around the sun. The sun's rays are sent out in all directions around it, and if you imagine a shell sor- rounding the sun at the défStance of the ecarth, every part of that shell would receive an equal quantity of | solar heat per unit of area. Conse- | quently the earth, no matter at] what point it may be situated, gets| continually the same amount of heat, except so far as the amount may be varied by changes in the ecarth’s dis- tance from the sun or by fluctuations in the intensity of the solar radia- tion. The forward movement of the earth through a field of space which is everywhere equally filled with the solar rays does not affect the num- ber or intensity of rays that encoun- ter it. No account is here taken of the motion of the earth with that of the rays, which we need not con- sider. | Now, take a man stainding in the broiling suz?binc\ and threatened with sunstréke, but,who, on jump- ing into a speeding automobile enjoys instantly a dtlghtful lowering of the temperature. e is not escaping from any of the smiting solar rays, for they fall upon him as numerous as before and possess just as great intensity, but the motion of the auto- mobile has introduced an important new ‘element—wind. Strictly speak- ing, wind mieans air, in swift motion, but a virtual wind, just as good for many purposes as the real article, may be rrodnced by the motion of a body through still air. The effect of the wind in lowering the temperature is due to the rapid carrying off of heat fr the body. A heated body surrounded by still air soon heats the air about 1t, and thus, in a manner, chokes up the exit for the escape of its own thermal radiation, solar radiation easily the longer waves of from the body are entrapped. the body ‘becomes hottey through thermal “accumulation. ut when fresh, cool air is continually borught E THE HIGHEST QUALITY SPAGHETTI 36 Age Recipe Book Free SKINNER MFG.CO.

Phone Douglas 260, The heated air acts like a blanket |{ through which the short waves of the |1 enetrate, while |{ into contact with the heated body, the escape of the heat is no longer obstructed as it was before, and the temperature ceases to,rise, although the influx of heat from the sun may be as great as before. . But the earth, rushing through space, which, as far as any sensible resistance is concerned, may be re- garded as empty, experiences neither a real nor a virtual wind. In order to do that it would have to move thraugh some resisting medium, like the air, But the cther of space offers no resistance to the atmdsphere, that is a part of the earth and is carried along with it. Many persons seem to find great difficulty in understanding the rela- tions of the air to the solid earth, on | whose surface it rests like a trans- parent spherical shell. The air is re- tained upon the earth by the force! of the earth's attraction, and this fact is in no manner altered by the fiuiditf' of the air, which permits its particles to move freely among one another as the -particles of a solid |. cannot do. The air decreases in density the higher you go above the earth, and at a height of a 100 miles it becomes so rare that no”artifical vacuum can be compared to it, and yet, even at that height, the ‘ether allows it to whirl with the whirling earth without resistance. A very slight resistance by the ether would result in the swce‘ging off of thel atmosphere, but no effect of that kind can be detected. If the ether did offer resistance to the earth speeding through it, as the air resists an ‘automobile, ~ the effect would not be to cool the earth, but to set it afire. It would be a wind of flame. The speed of the earth in its revolution around the sun, is, on thed average, about 187 miles per sec- ond. A body moving at that speed through a resisting atmosphere would be heated up to thousands of degrees. If the earth should plunge into a cosmical bubble of air in space we should feel, during the instant that we could feel at nlfi that we had been shot into a furnace. The oceans would boil and flashinto steam, and the flying globe, viewed from with- Why the Earthis Speed Does Not Cool It Off ‘lpul.lwould resemble a meteor shoot- ing through the sky with a train of fire behind it. =auld be burned up, for it is not the size or mass of the movina bodx | that determines the intensity of the heat developed, but it is the velocity. , So the man who on a hot day wishges to cool himself off by taking an gh- tomobile ride must beware of trying to @Nain the speed of astronomical bodies at the peril of burning him- | self up and disappearing in a puff of | smoke. | Tested Récipes_ ] Macedoine Pudding. tablespoonful 14 pound marshmal- % geltin Tows, cut in pleces 1 tablespoonful cold 1 cupful heavy cream water 2 tablespoonfuls tablespoonfuls powdered nugar % teaspoonful vanilla % cupful candied ' % cupful walnut cherries S meats, cut in pleces Soak gelatin in cold water five min- utes and dissolve in' boiling water.

Woman's Work : Household Topics iG@'rl Workers Who Win Out A By JANE M'LEAN. Emily was only 22 and she had been margied two years. Of course, she was happy; she had married to be happy, and John was very good to her. There was Buddy, too, and he was the | most adorable baby a mother ever | had. He almost made Emily forget ;lhe fact that she couldn't do as many | things as she did before she was mar- | ried, that she was confined closely to | the house, that there was something ‘ for her busy hands to be doing every single minute of theda y. | John was a clerk in a broker's | office and he brought home $22 to Emily every Saturday. It wasn't so | very much, but it was enough to keep a tiny flat running and Emily was | young and capable and in love, and | when things went smoothly nothing | else mattered.” It was only when she | was tired, or Buddy was cross or | things didn’t go right, that Emily wished for her old position in the of- fice, with her independence and bet- | ter clothes.s One afternoon, when the world was ! lovely, Emily took Buddy out in the | carriage and walked him up and down in the sunshine. She felt quite hap- py and contented until suddenly she | 'spied one of tie girls whe had worked with her in her old position coming toward her. “Why, Etta,” she said, smiling, “it's great to see you, How are you these { days? And how is everything?” | “Everything’s fine. Don’t you wish you were back? I'll bet you have your hands full with a baby and ev- erything.”™ Etta was wearing a smart up-to- | date linen suit and a little white hat. She looked very cool and quite the independent working woman, Emily +w15 acutely conscious of her well- | washed summer dress and her plain little hat./ But she smiled resolutely and replied: “It's great to be married. You haven't tried it and you don’t know.” “] know you're tied down,” Etta re- turned lightly. “Nothing like that for me. You look tired, too. You don’t want to lose your looks.” *“It's been so hot,” Emily defended, “Why don’t you get your husband to let you come back to the office for a while? You could earn enough mon- ey to buy some clothes, and it would do you lots of good. I'm sure Mr. Blanchard would let you have your old Position. He often speaks about you.” . Emily's face lighted up. If Joht would only let her do it! How splen did it would be to have a position again, to feel that she was a factor in the world and earned her own money. “Well, I'll see,” she promised.. “I'd love it, Etta. Come up and see me, won't you?” And Etta nodded bright- 1y and walked awav. The small apartment looked very small and it was hot after she had carried Buddy upstairs. Emily tied an apron about her slim waist and prepared to get supper. When John came home Buddy was crowing hap- pily in his high chair and a pleasant odor was permeating the apartment. John’s weary face lighted happily and he lifted Emily’s face to his rev- crcntl{. . “Lite wouldn’t be worth living if you ‘weren’t here when I came home nights,” he said softly. “You women who fill the jobs of homemakers are the ones who have the best positions.” Emily’s -eyes filled with hot, ashamed tears. She hadn't thought of her life as a- definite job, but, of course, John was right. How glad she was that she hadn’t told him about Etta. Etta didn't know everything: she wasn’t married to John, with a Buddy to look after. i N - Please Don't Jiggle. the Receiver Hook 1t Hurts Your Telephone Service When you lift the telephone receiver from the hook, a small electric light signal glows in front of the operator.
