"For the Young Girl's Eye.
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. Let tho
fabric of .your character, though over
so humble, be at least real.

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. '
A wealthy host the other day, ac
cording to the Crl do Paris, prepared
a surprise for bis guests by an elab

NOTE IN COLOR HARMONIES;
Modistes Have Achieved Really Ex
quisite Effects With the
Materials This 8eason.
The subtlety ot the color harmonies
of fabrics, combined with multi-colored
embroideries of the evening
gowns, are quite sensational this sea
son. Take, for instance, two shades
of soft gray chiffon marquisette. It
is wonderful what effect can be creat
ed by tho graceful draping. 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.
A regal white satin and diamond
evening gown, with narrow laco
trimmed train, which bad a black noto
in tho velvet bow at the waist and tall
feather headdress, was very striking,

Among curious clock novelties Is the

Is no need of getting up to strike a

necessary is to touch a button and the

same fashion that signs are flashed on

to the celling and when he presses a

Belinda's
Way
By CLARISSA MACK It
n
(Copyright, 1912, tiv Associated Literary
1'rcBs.)
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. John

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

CANADA'S PROSPERITY.
i
Tbo Now York Times or March 23,
1912, in an article dealing with Cana
da's progress, says:
"At the present moment eight ship
loads of European Immigrants are
nftoat for Canada, whllo thero are
signs that tho outward movement
which is customnry with us during
labor troubles will bo marked this
year. Thero Is no such startling rec
ord of our loss to Canada. Our citi
zens quietly slip over tho border In
groups or tralnlondB, but their going
Is not advertised.
"Thero Ib no mystery why Canada
Is tho 'good thing' tbo United States
used to be. It is because Canada Is
following in Its neighbor's footsteps
that It Is repeating tho fortunate ex
perience which Its neighbor Is envy
ing, even whllo deliberately turning
Its bnck on the teachings of the past.
A fortnight ago tbo Dominion budget
speech reported tho unprecedented
surplus of $39,000,000, and on Thurs
day the Government passed through
the Committee on Supply credits of
$38,000,000 for railways and canals.
With this assistance the railways
themselves are both enabled and com
pelled to Increase their facilities. Ac
cordingly we And a single road allot

Naturally the Canadian newspapers
contain announcements calling for
fifty thousand men for construction
work. This influx is apart from those
Americans who go with money In their
pockets obtained by cashing In their
high-priced American lands.
