Column Prepared Especially for Women -- But Not Forbidden to Men WE DO NOT LAUGH ENOUGH. We do not laugh enough for our well-being; We've lost the happy knack of it to- day. Too sober are we .. int our work and play, Fearful of this and that, forever see- ing Trouble ahead. With faces drawn and gLey, Lips to a line compressed, our anx- ious eyes Tying to look so proud and worldy- wise, Daily we go our drear and lonely way.

We've bidden good-bye to every splendid dream, And tightened our grasp upon the things of earth; Priding ourselves, perchance, be- cause we seem Solid and sober citizens of worths --Brnest A. Home. I wonder if we are not, as a peo- ple, too "solid and sober citizens of earth?" Sometimes I think we are, even though many charge that this is a frivolous age and that we do not take life seriously enough. Youth today seems at times to be pleasure -mad and to care for little else but perhaps the middleaged aye. more or less to blame for this. (A friend tells me I always stick up for the young people, exonerating them from all blame no matter what they do.) Well, it is like this. When : fathers and mothers begin to face the struggles and battles of life they are apt to suddenly grow very serious, forgetting all at once their own youth and the need, the actual need, 'of brightness, cheerfulness and fun for youth. Tliey expect the boys and girls to take in, appreciate at ` their full value, all the struggles . their parents are staving to, maintain and educate them, all the sacrifices they are making to give thein a better start in life than they them- selves had, perhaps, .and to expect them to take ov- t er right here and now their fair ' share of the load of responsibility, This cannot be done, and if it could, • would it be fair? Each generatic» ' must carry itsown burden of work and responsibility. The young folk of today will take up their's never a fear, when the time comes. "Ah, o hut," somebody may whine, "the bur. - dens of the generation now growing P up will be light compared to ours. We bore the burden and heat of the day, they will inherit the fruit of our labours," That is quite true, but you need not fear that they will find the burden heavy enough. Those who are bearing the burden and heat of the present day did not 'have to pion- eer as their fathers or grandmothers did. Each generationfinds its own work and if each generation does that work well the world is left a bit better than before it came on the scene. This is my idea. If the people of middle life, parents and others, were carrying their burdens as gallantly, as they should, "smiling through" in brave fashion, as all good soldiers ought, if young people always found their elders cheerful, understanding and ready to enter into the problems, schemes, pleasures of youth, not too dictatorial and not too sure that they were always right and youth couldn't possibly ever bo anything but wrong, the distance between youth and niid clleage might not appear to be so great. If the gulf between youth and age is ever to be spanned age must span it. Youth has no experience by which it can understand the view- point of age; age should remember what it felt like to be young. If micddleage could manage. to ear- ry its burdens more lightly and after all, moaning and groaning does not make them any lighter, if homes were always centres of cheerfulness; if laughter and merriment was the rule and father and mother as well as children enjoyed plenty of inno- cent fun. In short, if more enjoy- ment was bad right in the home, a - need' the home fireside, perhaps young people would not go seeking it elsewhere so persistently. 'Youth must have a certain amount of re- creation if it is to develope normally, if it is not provided it the home it will be sought outside of it, Of course young people need to associate with those outside the home ton, in order to develope normally, but in this modern clay the need is not to send then' forth, like the birds do with their young, the need is to ceep them under home's influence as nuch as possible during the for - native age. Seems to me the aim of parents should be to make home so attractive that their children would deem it the dearest place on earth. and carry away memories of it which would last theta a Life time. And one are way to do this is to make home heerful. . REBEKAH Bishop Falcon's War Prediction Frequent reference has been made to the fact that Bishop Fallon was the first to give a warning in Can- ada of the danger of war with Ger- many. It was on January 5, 1911, that his lordship predicted a corning struggle with Germany at a Cana- dian Club meeting. in London, his subject being 'International Peace." Among the guests present were Hon, W. L. Mackenzie King, then minis- ter of labor, in the . Laurier Govern- ment. overnMent. Bishop Fallon had recently re- turned from a trip to Europe and had visited Germany, where. he had stud- ied as a youth. He- had no doubt as to the aims and Ambitions of the war Iords of Germany. After frankly declaring that he was an imperialist en conviction and n principle and after urging the eed of keeping up a reasonable mil- •tary strength, he went onto make his predictions "Germany has a peace fooling of 50,000 men. In time of war they ould truster 5,000,000 men, armed, into the battlefield; Fier allies, the Austro-Hun'arlan states, could mut- er 4,000,000 more, and with Italy he Triple Alliance could muster, all told, 10,000,00 armed siren. They could threaten the peace of Europe. "It is my tlelilherate conviction it may -tot be the tactful thing to say, either `nevertheless, it is . my delib- erate convietion that !Germany in- tends to try to take command of the world's affairs.

Any house with adjoining rooms having a wide doorway between looks well with both rooms papered alike, preferably with a neutral tone or a vague pattern.
