Do you ever think of your friends by their-. characteristics insteat( of by their names? There's one woman I Always think of as he '(I 'won't" lady. It typifies her exactly, and incidental- ly explains why she Is the most un- happy person I know, though so far es material things go she has every- thing we popularly suppose makes' folks happy. -Her order bar to happiness is that attitude of "I won'tness," And the queer thing about it all is, she can't see what ails her. It is always the other fellow who "won't" in her eyes, when all the time she is the one who "won't." But, poor thing! Perhaps she can't hale it. Her mother says she was born protesting. The first thing she did was to yell, according to authority quoted. And mother adds further that she absolutely refused to take nourishment unti! she was forced to by a perhipiring nurse. Once in- duced to eat, however, she took to that naturally enough, but always she has refused to do her part towards pro- viding the food. Like the greedy ani- mals in the tale of "The Little Red Hen," she always cried out, "I won't," whcn it was time to sow and: reap and gather into barns. And when meal- time came, unfortunately for her, no ons was found brave enough to do as the little red hen did, shoo her away from the table, and gabble up every- thing. She was allowed -to take her char --and a little more—even though she refused to help get it, If she had only had a brave mother or father when she was ooming up! But site hadn't. When it was time to wash dishes or set the table or melee the beds or dust or do any dis- agreeable work, it was just the pay- hologial moment for her to practice her music or get the next day's arith- metic, or take a bath, or go out and gather a bouquet, or make a dish of Fudge, or run overto a neighbor with a glass of jelly. And her mother never sat her foot down hard. Sister, who was good natured and easy to get mend, grumbled some, but did the c"rty work. So mother and sister both encouraged the 'I won't" habit rather Clan have a fuss. In school the teachers made the same mistake. Some idea about get- leng along without antagonizing the girl led them to overlook all sorts of idleness, "cribing," insolence and flanking. The girl was §lid through xahool, not on her merits but because her father had strong political inile- e1,ca and eves a supporter of the inspector of schools. It is little won- cicr that she grew up thinking she needn't do anything she didn't like in do. The idea pursued her straight to the altar. While her lips said, "I will," iter thoughts said, "I won't." And she hasn't. At first, until the glamor wore rff, it worked all right, but -later hus- i.arid beganto rebel. She wouldn't be Bothered wink his family running in v lenever they felt like it, so she eleried a family quarrel. She wouldn't cit housework, and, until the war, that got by satisfactorily. But since do- ntcstic help has become scarce things haven't gone well. Husband flatly re- fuses to live in a boarding house, and le they live at home someone has to do the work, And he won't do it! She never would be bothered with children, but now nursemaids demand aitch wages they are beginning to be classed with luxuries. So the "I won't" latiy finds herself ria a hardp }aro, If theta was only someone to arise them for a half day occasionally, but she bas quarreled with everyone in her husband's family, and her own fancily are openly exultant al; her predica- ntel t. t Thcrin gilt that dcesn•a semis ex- aetly fait, seeing they helped to juice her what she is. Altogether the "1 won't lady" isn't very happy, and all owing to her at- titude towards life. She started out determined to grab only what she Jibed and to steer clear of what she didn't like, and has found out it can't b.' done --always. And instead of biautieg herself site blames everyone else. 11 she could only see that, "I will" gets farther than "I won't" Cookies and Kisscat .Please do not kiss reel" i located opal at the Strange aign,. It was written in large lei:ters en a cardboard that hung around the 'neck of a very'pretty girl of about seven years, who satopposite Inc in the coach. The girl, I learned, was travel: ing across the continent alone. To safeguard her front possible egnta- .gion her parents had hung that card board around her neck to keep over - affectionate persons front kissting her. A god idea, I thought! But as I watched the girl and the interested Admirers who had gathered around her•it appeared to me that her danger was not so much from kisses as from cookies. In fess than an hour she was fed more cookies than a child of her age should eat in two days, And that took no account of the candy, fruit, and cake that were thrust upon her and whish she ate., Students have come to believer that Meet cases of impaired digestive or- gans in adults can be traced to im- proper eating early in life. The child who is "stuffed" with all sorts of track invariably suffers for it 111 l ter life. The colics and cramps of child- hood are often only warnings of more serious trouble to come in after years. A child is a very simple proposition and should have simple food at reg- ular intervals. You cannot show' your love for children by shoving a con- glomeration of indigestible stuff at them a:11 the time; you are merely showing your own thoughbdesaness, and to the child's.iinjury. In my nursing work I have seen sturdy youngsters who lived on milk until the age of three. This, however, would be a very difficult thing in most households where the little ones insist on eating at the table with "Daddy." But milk is the ideal food for them. If possible, mink should constitute al- most the sole food the first year. Then other foods may be added to the diet, slowly, and with the exercise of good judgment as to combinap.ons. In the second year. boiled pr poach- ed eggs niay be given. Plain corn- starch puddings are good. Good bread and butter is fine if the little one will chew it well. Meat should not be fed, but it does no harm to give the child a piece of tough meat that can be' chewed but • not swalllowed. Meat alroths are good. A raw apple, scrap- ed fine, is excellent. Baked apples are good if not headed. with sugar. An ex- cellent evening meal is well toasted Thome-made bread softened in .warm (not boiled) milk. After the secondyear the child may „eat a wider variety of food but indi- gestible mixtures should be avoided If care is taken first to satisfy the hunger wiith „plain, nourishing food, then a little dissipation in the way of cake or -candy may be Indulged in occasionally. But do not "stuff" the little ones. Let the motto be; "Plain, nourishing food at revise times," Home.

Paper in Shoes Detected by Simple Tests. `The average -man, if told the shoes he was buying were of part paper, 110 ratter what the 'piece, would prob- ably seek another shoe dealer. And yet, on the authority of shoo -makers, lnore•than half of the shoes sold to- day contain a percentage of paper. But. like many other products, even "paper shoes" have improved, and the honest manufacturer of paper shoes has a real excuse for substituting pa- per for leather. wherever he can. But undoubtedly some reanufactur. ers have taken advantage of the gen• eral use of paper in shoes to cheapen their product and swell proflts. Two simple tests will help iu deter- mining whether a shoe is all leather or,not. One is to press the point of a penknife on the upper Iayers of the heel.

Weird ' Spectral Ships Bring Terror and Disaster to Ocean Travellers. We often hear of ghosts haunting houses, churchyards, and appearing at bedsides, or coming when bidden at the seance, but less often do we heat' of the spectres of the sea. Yet there are scores of well -authenticated' eases of the appearance of phantom ships and boats, and these accounts, often relatedby. persons of unimpeachable integrity, are so strangely consistent as to detail that one must perforce hesitate before dismissing the subject as moonshine. The best known of ocean spectres is the phantom ship known as the'lely- Ing Dutchman, which has been many, many times seen in the Pacific Ocean, and oocaslonally in the southern parts of the Atlantic. The origin of the Flying Dutchman goes back to the sixteenth century, when a Dutch captain, notorious for his profanity, swore during a terrible gale that he would round the Cape Horn in spite of all that the powers of good or evil could do to prevent him, even if he had to sail till Jndglnent Day. In vain his crew implored' him to give up his mad project, and the first mate was violently assaulted by the skipper and thrown overboard. Doomed to Continual Struggle. But a terrific flash of lightning struck the ship, ]tilling the captain on the spot, and very soon use ship went down with all on board. But the vow that t8e 021pta}u had made still heir] good, and for ever he and his ship arc doomed to continuo Uta hopeless struggle of rounding the Cape in the teeth of a terrific storm. To -day may be met a large number of sailors who have seen the phantom ship, and all agree as to certain de- tails.
