There Is nothing more .beautiful than simplicity of character. It Is honest, frank and attractive. How different is affection! The simple minded aro always natural; they are at the same tlmo original. The af fected aro never natural. As for orig inality, If they ever had It, they have crushed it out and burled it from sight utterly. Ho yourself. To attempt to be anybody else is worse than folly. It Is Impossible to attain It. A genu ino cent Is worth more than a counter feit dollar, and the smallest person who is real, is worth more than the biggest fraud in existence.

DAINTIEST OF TABLE LINEN Most Elaborate and Expensive That In Use In Parisian Establishment!. la Table linen In Paris today Is of the most elaborate and expensive dcscripi tlon. Teacloths aro made almost en tirely of lace composed of squares with insertions or finest embroidery, and serviettes and napkins must nlso match the cloth. Another expensive habit is to have all tho crystals in colored Bohemian cut glass to match the hue of the hostess' afternoon toilet. At a recent reception given by a society leader harmony ot color wns very bticcessfully carried out. Plates, glasses and decanters wero of pink cut crystal, while tho lady or tho house woro a tengown ot rosccolored mous sollno de sole. Tho color schomo was also preserved in tho llowers on tho table, and long-stemmed pink roses were everywhere about the room.

The subtlety ot the color harmonies of fabrics, combined with multi-colored embroideries of the evening gowns, are quite sensational this sea son.

Then an emerald green tulle over Jeweled em broidered satin, which was shown at a recent exhibition, had a suggestion of Tltanla's gossamer draperies. An other gown suggestive or mystory and tho EaBt was in sapphire blue nlnon, opening over a side panel ot embroid ered Parma violet silk.

Among curious clock novelties Is the shadow boudoir clock. With It thero Is no need of getting up to strike a light or turn on the bulb. All that is necessary is to touch a button and the time is flashed on tho wall, after tho same fashion that signs are flashed on the sidewalk. When the owner of the clock goes to bed ho turns a night dial to the celling and when he presses a bulb the electric light reflects from the dial through the lens and appears, giving tho correct time In shadow on the celling.

At his tlrst meeting with Belinda Ilo'vvo, .lack Owen determined that the charming girl should bocoino his wife. On and after their tenth meeting ho resolved to ask her the nil-Important question that must precede nn en gagement, but his courage was not equal to his deslro. "I'll ask hur tomorrow," was al ways his despcrato promise when his courngo failed, and many tomorrows had become todayB and yestcrdnys, and etlll tho question was unasked, yet he almost knew, without being conceited about tho matter, that Be llndn cared and that her atllrmatlve answer would bo forthcoming when he nuked her. Tlmo and again ho had gathered hln courage and on each occasion his tongue had clovo to tho roof of his mouth when Belinda's brown eyes hod shyly dropped before tho love light In his. Occasionally ho raged at himself for his stupidity. "If she only know what a consummate ass 1 am sho wouldn't hnvo anything to do with mo," ho groaned one day. Perhaps Belinda know or guessed the state ot affairs! "I'll ask her tomorrow sure!" he said one evening niter he had re turned from a dinner party whero he had taken llellnda in to dinner, and sat bcsldo her In ecstatic wonder at his great good luck. Tomorrow came and with It a note from Belinda saying that they wre all going down to Sea Sands that day ror tho week-end and sho hoped Mr. Owen would bo sure to ucccpt her mother's invitation to accompany them. Mrs. Howe's invitation came In the same mull and Jack accepted It de lightedly. Then ho made hurried prep arations ror tho journey becauso he wanted to bo sure and catch tho same train that Belinda was going on. He went to the station and engaged a seut, trusting to his customary good fortuno to tlud it placed next to Be linda's chair. It was next to Belinda's scat, but on the other side ot Belinda sat a new man a foolishly grinning Idiot with his hair parted In the middlo and a dimple In bis chin. This was Jack's summary of tho masculine charms or Mr. Harry Brampton. Belinda wns interested , In Mr. Brompton, so deeply interested that sho only spared an occasional smile for Jack, who sulked openly and de termined to ask ber tho fatal question that very night ir he got a chanco. When they reached Sea Sands and tho Howe's motor vehicles wero tilled with tho expected guestH It was found that Mr. Brompton wus seated bcsldo Belinda in ono car wnllo Jack Owen wns bqueezed between Mrs. Howe and her private secretary, a little palo black-eyed being who shivered wltli tho excitement ot tho coming week end gaities, of which sho would only snatch an occasional gllmp&o. "I'll show him!" sputtered Jack fiercely as bo noted the devoted atti tude ot Mr. Brompton's by no means ill-looking bead. It was an added Irritation to find that Mr. Brompton was to occupy the pleasant room which Jack Owen had always occupied on bis frequent visits at Sea Sands. Tho room now ap pointed to Jack was pleasanter than the other, but jealousy Is fed by lit tle tblngB like this and Mr. Owen be came positively unhappy over the matter. By the time Jack was ready for din ner the situation looked very bleak. He was positive that .Mr. Brompton bad been a dark horse In the rape for Belinda's heart and band and he was sure that gentleman had won out, and that the engagement would be an nounced tonight. He hoped It would not be announced at the dinner table he was positive that bo would be unable to control his features. Yot It looked ominous enough. As be tallied the guests who would be there he realized that they consisted of old and Intimate friends or the Howe family. Harry Brompton was the only stranger to him. He wondered vague ly If any of these friends were related to Mr. Brompton or was the prospec tive bridegroom an orphan like him self? Ho went down to dinner In a mood ot black despair. "Dear boy!" murmured Mrs. Howe, as be stopped for a word with ber. "Wo are so deligbted about little Be linda!" "Then It Is decided?" be asked in a hollow voice. She looked at him In a puzzled way. "You mean about announcing It to night?" He nodded grimly. He could not speak. "Oh, yes ot course you do not mind?" Jack's face hardened. Ot course tbey bad thrust the knife in, but they needn't twist it around I "No, indeed, Mrs. Howe, I am de lighted, of coursel" "Poor boy!" she murmured sym pathetically. "I suppose you aro fright ened to death do go over and talk to William. Hclliitia lias linrriiM uc so, only notlllcd us this morning ami Insisted on Its being announced to night." "That's all right don't mind me," faltered poor Jack and strolled over to William, who was Belinda's father. "Keep up your courage, old boy!" whispered Mr. Ilowo. "Brace up It can't happon but onco, you know I" "I won't glvo any ono a chanco to let It happen to mo again!" growled Jack fiercely, but William Ilowo was happily hard of hearing, and at this moment dashed away, ror dinner was announced. "Mighty kind of 'cm to bo ho care ful of my reelings," thought Jack as ho tried to quell a murderous thrill at sight of Harry Brompton's care fully parted curly hair. Belinda came in then a wonderful ly radiant Hcllnda In pale pink satin veiled with white laco and with pearls about her throat. She Included Jack In her swift survey of tho room, nnd ho saw tlint a rosy wave of color stained her cheeks fiom brow to chin and left her pule. Ills own lioiut did not leap In ro-Bpont-e to her passing glance as It hnd been wont to do. It felt quite cold and btlll. It did not throb oven when ho found that ho was to take llellnda In to dinner, ilia face was llko a white mask as he gave hur his urm and led her to her scat. To Ills relief llellnda did not tnlk much to him. Kho seemed absorbed In conversation with Harry Brompton on her other hand, while Jack was not obliged to talk, ror a lady beside him chattered foolishly from course to course "until dessert was reached. An unusual sllenco camo upon tho company ns Bcllndn'u father slowly arose holding his wine glass. "Friends," ho mulled upon them, "may I ask you to drink to tho health happiness of ono who Is very dear to me my daughter, Hcllndn, nnd her ruturo husband, Mr. Jnck Owen. "It 1h a Joke!" gasped poor Jack I as the company merrily drunk to j their health and happiness. "There must bo u limit to" Nobody heard his volco savo Be linda, whoso hand sought his and pressed It slgnltlcnntly. , "I'll explain uftcrwards, Jack!" sho said hurriedly. "You must respond to tho toast." "It's true, then?" ho asked dazed ly. "Of course stupid!" Afterwards they commontcd on tho brilliant speech of Jnck Owen. "Didn't know It wns In him to bo so tunny!" commented ono. "Enough to mnko nny ono hilarious to win a girl llko Belinda Howe!" re torted another. "Who is this young Brompton?" "Oh, 1 don't know some friend from tho west who Inlllcted himself upon them this morning und had to bo Invited down." After dinner Jack Owen found him self mysteriously splrltod away to tho alcove In the library. Belinda was be side him, very pale, very quiet. Sounds from tbo company In tho distant draw ing room camo faintly to them. '"Oh, Jack, do you mind?" asked Belinda after a long sllenco. "Mind?" ho nsked, still dazed at tho strangeness of tho wholo thing, and suspecting a trick of some Bort. "Mind bolng engaged to mo?" sho faltered. "Mind being engaged to you'" ho ropcated. "Why, Belinda, darling, it's what 1'vo been trying to accomplish ovor slnco 1 met you!" His nrmB wero around her now, and hU lips woro pressed against her wonderful hair. "I didn't understand, you seo." "I know you wanted to, only you were bo dimdcnt oh, indeed, Blr, you aro recovering rapidly and It was the only way. You know this Is leap year!" Moon Blindness. A naval correspondent has written rrom Port or Spain, Trlnldud, stutlng that In his travels be had come across many caseB ot moon blindness, caused by men sleeping with the moon shin ing upon them, such cases occurring principally In the tropics and tho Med iterranean. Strange to say, adds tho Trinidad correspondent, men so affected can see in daylight, but cannot do so when dusk sets in. Mr. Elgle further quotes from a communication made by a New Zealand correspondent to a weekly sci entific Journal. This correspondent whs, many years ago, an apprentice on the Liverpool ship Langdale, nn East India trader. Onco when the ship was between St Helena and the lino some of the crew slept on deck fully exposed to the glare of tho brilliant moon. When they awoke, three of them were qulto moon blind. They bad to be led about at night, and ropes put into their hands. Dividends From Smuggling. Italian custom house officials bavo just discovered a large contraband "company," with headquarters In Milan and Lucerne, which regularly pays div idends secretly and whoso field of op erations extends across a largo tract of tbo Swiss-Italian frontier,, from tho shores ot Lake Maggiore up to Lugano. Over 1,000 persons are involved in tbo operations, and there have been many arrests recently, though a number ot those implicated bavo escaped from Italy by crossing the frontier Into Switzerland, where of course they can not be arrested. Tbo contraband goods consisted chiefly of saccharine, sugar and Swiss' watches, which were smug gled across tbo frontier in trucks with the connivance ot several railway em ployes. Thero is in friendship something of all relations, and something abovo them all. It 1h tho golden thread that ties tho hearts of all the world.

VENICE A CITY OF DREAMS Many Charms for the Tourist In Thl Picturesque City of Italy. To the wanderer In Italy, Venice has a peculiar attraction. Arrlvu there at sunset, or better still by moonlight, and you will fancy yourself trans planted to some city of dieams. With daylight this feeling may wear off to some extent, although there Is never, at any time, as much bustle nnd utlr in Venice uh In other towns. Morn ing, lUKiu and night, Venice has a fas cination nil her own. This la partly due to the fnct that she Is u city built on tbo water. To explore Venice and to become In timately acquainted with her, a r.on- dola Is not a necessity, rather it is a luxury for sunset evenings und moonlight nights. It Is a delightful ex perience, and not a dllllcult one, to Und one's way about Venice on foot; quaint, old world.corners nru discover ed, bltH of ancient ychltccturc, carved doorwas and little bridges, with a feast of color here, thero nnd every where. Apart from all tho beauty of scenery, there is tho enthralling Inter est eoked by her history nnd tradi tions. Among tho traditions wo read that St. Thuodoro was thu first patron saint of Venice, to bo superseded later on by St. Mark. Tho wanderer In Ven Ico becomes familiar with tho Lion of St. Mark. More prominently than anywhere Is to bo seen on one of the columns on tho Plnzictta, whilst on tho other Ib St. Theodore. These col umns of beautiful red nnd gray gran lto are supposed to have come orig inally from Syria. They were erect ed by a lmbard engineer. Christian Science Monitor.
