Dear M. E. 8., tell me what South
ern girl wrote this short poem:
“The twilight hours like birds flew by
As lightly and as free,
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten thousand in the sea.
For every wave with dimpled face
That leaped up in the air,
Had caught a star in its embrace,
And held it trembling there.”
Our Southern poets have never met
with the recognition they deserve.
Henry Timrod was a fine poet. Had
he been given half the opportunity
that Tennyson had, he would have ri
valed him in beauty of thought and
grace of expression. And we South
ern people allowed the last days of his
life to be haunted by actual want. Dur
ing his life he was scarcely considered,
now he is pronounced a genius. If
people only would not withhold their
flowers of appreciation from the liv
ing, and keep their wreaths to lay up
on graves, the world would be hap
pier.
With friendly regards to all our
Household and love to dear Mrs. Bry

recovery, I am

WHAT CLOTHES SHALL WE WEAR
Man is of all animals the most wide
ly distributed over the face of the
globe, and this is largely due to the
fact that he alone has learned to ac
commodate himself to extremes of
temperature by the help of clothing.
He has become adapted to many dif
ferent climates, and is capable of
withstanding both an Arctic as well
as a tropical temperature. But mod
ern man, even though he can live in
cold districts, needs to be kept warm;
and he meets this need by the wear
ing of clothes.
Even in the savage state some
races clothe themselves thoroughly.
The Eskimos, for eximple. go warmly
clad in furs, and th.; wild Indians
who once inhabited the northern
United States wore, at least in win
ter, the skins of animals.
Clothing is worn to aid the body in
maintaining its constant temperature.
In cold weather it is a kind of port
able house, a close and intimate shel
ter, and an aid to the skin in pre
venting loss of heat; while on the
other hand, summer clothing should
not interfere with the dissipation of
heat from the skin.
In early life, in old age and also in
disease is the necessity for external
warmth emphasized. Young children,
especially infants, thrive in warm
countries; old people crave for the
sun and warmth; and as soon as a
person becomes ill, they generally
huddle up to the fireside. So the chil
dren, the aged and the sick must be
kept perfectly warm. When a person
becomes ill, there is not a better
place to be found than the bed, not
only because it gives rest, but also
because it is warm. We sometimes
find it difficult to persuade patients
to sleep with the bedroom window
open; they are afraid of catching
cold. It must be pointed out to them
that provided they are kept warm in
bed and out of a draught there are few

HOW TO BEGIN MARRIED LIFE.
A married woman who says she
looks back sorrowfully on the mis
takes of her early married life, tells
her newly-wed sisters that the great
secret of a happy marriage is to begin
right. If, as is natural, her husband
becomes unlover-nke, she should act
sensibly and, instead of sulking and
brooding, or using reproaches, should
wm her point by making some con
cessions, but gently and lovingly in
sisting on certain demonstrations of
affection, such as the good-bye kiss in
the morning, and the same welcoming
caress when she meets him on his re
turn from work in the evening.
To form the proper habits, to use
the honeymoon wisely, is no light task
for an inexperienced girl. It is a se
rious responsibility for her to know
that upon her tact and good sense de
pends largely the angle that the mar
ried happiness of herself and her hus
band will take during their lives. She
can be sure of succeeding, however, if
she will put his welfare before her
own.
Here are the rules this woman sug
gests as a recipe for matrimonial suc
cess. They will apply to all wives,
old, as well as young:
She must love him devotedly without
spoiling him. She must be critical
of his faults without annoying him
about them. She must reform his un
fortunate traits gently, and, if possi
ble, wordlessly. She must forgive lit
tle evidences of forgetfulness, of appa
rent neglect and must manage with
all possible good humor, that they do
not occur again. A pleasant smile
and gentle insistence on little cour
tesies will meet with a willing re
sponse.
If a young man sees that he has a
good, self-forgetful wife, his sense of
fairness will make him respond in
kind and be mindful and considerate of
her. I have my doubts about this be
ing always the result of the wife ig
noring self. Some men will accept
this as their due, and fail to “respond
in kind.” However, it is true that
exaction and intolerance will antago
nize any man and that the true basis
of married happiness is mutual con
sideration and forbearance.
THE ART OF DRESSING WELL.
“You call us chic,” said the French
woman, “but it is only that we love to
dress. You Americans put on your
clothes too quickly. You pay one
hundred dollars for a gown and put
it on in five minutes. We pay less,
but adjust our hooks and eyes very
carefully.”
Dress as a fine art depends upon
color to an extent. One must not get
into the riper shades if one has lost
one’s brilliant coloring. The softer
shades, those that are known as the
fruit and flower colors, are best.
Black, unless one is stout, gives tired
lines to the face and brings out the
shadows.
White is trying, yet elderly persons
love it. It has a certain cleanliness,
yet it does not give the softness that
is necessary. Better to choose the
creamy tones or those that verge into
the pastels.
But it is very necessary that the
elderly woman be well gowned. There
are certain features which she can
preserve in spite of her years. To the
very last her hands can be well mani
cured and the skin bleached and fat
tened with good cream. Her feet can
be as trim as those of a girl. And
her hair can be waved and smartly
dressed.

You Can Get the
Accurate South Bend
Watch in the Smallest Town
The South Bend Watch is famed so
far and wide that you can buy one
almost anywhere —in the largest cities,
in the smallest towns. There are
15,083 jewelers who sell it. And every
jeweler is an expert watch man, so a
South Bend gets perfect regulation to
the buyer’s personality, to the peculi
arity of his movements and his daily
occupation.
Never Sold by Mail
A South Bend Watch is never sold
by mail because, then, it wouldn't get
this regulation. But that is why the
South Bend is so famous as a time
keeper. We choose our jewelers with
the same care that we use in choosing
our factory employees. You can buy
from any one of them with perfect faith
in both the jeweler and the watch.
