Here is to the Easter CI iris, who
are not superstitious, but believe in
signs. Just so with the Piaster Girl.
She isn't the least bit superstitious,
but she wore a yellow garter last year
donned at Easter and Jack did pro-
pose to her, and just for fun, although
of course there is nothing in it, she's
going to try again fo rluck this time,
since Jack is landed. Tell it not in
Gath, but nearly all girls hold this
superstition, and the little rhyme
Which explains it is written in nearly
every one of their hearts:
A yellow garter,
That's for luck;
For luck and a lover true—
The yellow band
Will sure command
Luck and a sweetheart, too.

This letter from our fellow towns-

cal eitdor this week will no doubt be
of interest to his many friends here.
Had His Eye On the Boat
Alexander Carr has a reputation as
a wit and story teller only equaled by
his reputation as an actor. His latest
story was told the other night and
runs as follows:
Two Hebrewic gentlemen, friends of
long standing, went to the lake and
each hired a rowboat for a trial of
skill and strength. In the middle of
the lake one tipped over his boat and
sank from sight. Coming to the sur-
face close to the bow of the other
boat, he shouted:
"Ikey, Ikey, save me, I can't swim!"
Carefully holding the boat a few
feet away fro mhis drowning friend,
the other looked on unmoved.
Again the unfortunate one sank be-
low the surface, a.ud as he came up
for the second tim<- .• " pcated his cries
for help.
A third time he came up, and then,
as he started to disappear from sight
for the third and last time, his friend
shouted:
"Abie, if you don't come up again
can 1 have your boat?"
Wanted to See It Bloom
Mabel Parr, just turned six, lives
in Lauderdale avenue, in Lakewood,
says the Cleveland Leader. H£r
mother, a Scientist, has been trou-
bled for some days with a cold-sore,
much to her little daughter's concern.
When she could not longer restrain
her sy in path} she turned interroga-,
tion point.
"Mother," she asked, pointing to the
slight disfigurement, "what is that
you've got?"
"That's a rosebud, dear, said Mrs.
Parr.
Mabel was silent and thoughtful all
the rest of the day. When she yielded
to pressure she confessed shed be.-n
worrying about her mother.
"I've been thinking about that rose
bud," she said, "and wondering why
that flower never blooms "

"BRAIN FOOD."
Fichcrmen are not extraordi-
nary beyond other classes for
Intelligence, from which It is
reasonable to conclude that thu
common belief that fish is a su-
perior brain food Is an error.
The superior intellectual capac-
ity of the people of Boston may
be accepted as proof that beans
and brown bread are an excel-
lent brain food—although It s
not strictly correct to distin-
guish any food as a brain food,
for Intellectual capacity is de-
pendent upon the proper action
of the liver and kidneys, al-
though the bra n is the special
organ of t ie rnnrf. 8ea food ia

than a monogram framed by a pretty
wreath of some favorite flower.
If you are named for a flower, have
the wreath formed of the same, viz:
Rosea, violets, daisies.
The designs given here may be used
upon lingerie or to decorate boxes
where small trinkets are kept.
These pretty drawings can easily

be transferred by placing
carbon paper between the
and the material on which you desire
to duplicate the wreath
Carefully trace the entire outline
with a sharp, hard pencil An exact
replica will be lound upon the materl
al ready (o be embroidered or tinted.
The exquisite wreath of roses is ap-
propriate for anything. The bowknot
tinted a delimit blue and the roses
pink makes a lovely combination. The
foliage should be light green.
This design need not be confined en-
tirely to surrounding a monogram. It
may be effectively used to decorate
medallions or the sections of pretty
silk candleshade It adapts itself per
fectly to any color scheme.
The miniature wreath of falryllke
blossoms called forget-me-nots Is al-
ways beautiful. The flowers, with
their tint of ethereal blue and the rich
dark green leaves, are a charming
combination

will find this especially attractive.

GIVE FRESHNESS TO BODICE
Flowerets of Spring Revive Garment#
That Need Retouching at the
Season's End.
When the social season begins to
wan© the gowns probably show signs
of wear and demand retouching.
The dainty flowerets of silk and
gauze are beautifully adapted fur this
purpose.
Tiny clusters caught here and
there among the soft folds of lace
trimming the bodice or skirt give a
delightfully fresh touch
Flowerets come in every color and
all shapes. Trailing vines of morning-
glories in the soft, delicate pastel
shades are decidedly effective.
Fairy like bouquets nestling among
the bu y folds <>f fichu or flounce add
a springlike newness to the dance
frock.
These flowers are not confined to
the evening dress; thej appear de-
murely in small clusters of blue, red
and gold upon the visiting costume,
hat or furs.
Wall flowers, with their rich color-
ing of yellow, orange and brown, are
stunning with furs
Old-fashioned pinks and larkspur
are a pretty combination. while the
glowing scarlet and coral miniature
popples are lively against a dark fur
background.
As spring advances the somber win-
ter hat may be given a touch of
brightness by adding a tiny bouquet
of these dainty flowerets.
They are used to trim Jabots nnd
collarettes of lace and net to very
good advantage.
Buckles fashioned of these diminu-
tive blossoms adorn the evening slip-
per. Tiny pink roses and forget me-
n - if s are a fascinating combination for
this purpose.
