Above, are shown pictures of Gaby
Deslys and Babe, her tiny Mexican
Chihuahua dog. The dog Is the first
to wear earrings. These earrrlngs
were- made of pearls to match Gaby's
famous $200,000 necklace, reputed to
have been given her by former King
Manuel of Portugal. Mrs. Ella
Wheeler Wilcox has written of all
this as follows:
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Tha dot- is an Interesting animal of
great intelligent. In the ntire animal
kingdom .be la the farthest advanced
toward the human incarnation, of alt. the
quadruped. This is due greatly to his
cloae association with human beings and
the education received through their com
panionship. Everything which Is contains the divine
essence. It sleeps in the mineral kingdom,
stirs In the vegetable kingdom, sounds In
the animal kingdom and thinks in the
human kingdom. Everything is on its
way back to God. Everything has its
place and sphere in this present incarna
tion. It would be folly to take the min
erals and try to use them as vegetables.
It would be ridiculous to try to make
vegetable appear as an animal and It is
quite as ridiculous to undertake to make
an animal appear like a human being in
attire or deportment.
Animals are entitled to our kind care,
our sympathy and our affectionate treat
ment. By bestowing these we help them
along toward the development which will .
fit them for . a higher plane and at the ;
same time we develop our own characters
by showing our consciousness cf respon
sibility toward weaker things. But the
moment, we begin to give animals the '
same treatment which we give to chil
dren or human adults we make ourselves "
ridiculous. There are silly women who
give their dogs a seat at the table; there
are silly women who talk baby talk to
their dogs and lavish caresses upon them
in public, and now comes the silliest of
all women who la bestowing diamond
earrings upon her dog.
' It Is not only silly, but It Is unkind to
the dog and accomplishes nothing save
to exploit a foolish vanity and desire for
publicity. That great soul, J. Howard
Moore, says in his "Unlversay Kinship:"
"Look upon and treat others as you do
your own hands, your own eyes, your
very heart and soul with infinite care
and compassion, as suffering and enjoy
ing the members of the same great being
with yourself. This Is the spirit of the
ideal universe, it is this alone can redeem
the world and give to it the peace and
larmony for which it longs. Yes, do aa

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Human beings seem to divide them
selves Into two classes: the sturdy in
dependent folks who work out their own
life problems as independently as may be,
and the spineless weaklings who waver
through life seeking props.
No human being is really fully self
sufficient; no human being ought to rely
to any great extent on any outside In
fluence to bolster him up so that his
uncured weaknesses will not spoil his
life. In the final analysis everyone has

guidance and the best Intentioned desires
to help will aid no one who does not
choose to help himself. Do you remember
the old fable of Aesop? It Is called "Her
cules and the Wagoner." This is how it
goes:
"As a wagoner was driving hla wain
through a miry lane, the wheel atuck
fast In the clay, and the horses could
get no further. The man dropped on his
knees and began crying and praying to
Hercules with all his might to come and
help him. 'Laiy fellow said Hercules,
get up and stir yourseir. Whip your
horses stoutlly. snd put your shoulder
to the wheel. If you want any help then.
you ahall have If "
How wonderfully this tells the whole
storj. Anyone worth helping will make
a loo the effort to help himself. Anyone
who cries weakly snd ineptly for assis
tance would fail even when assisted, be
cause each time failure stared him In
the face he would shriek aloud for help.
The "clinging vine" is miserably un
fair to himself and equally cruel to the
"sturdy oak." Every human being has
Ills own problem to face and his own
burdens to bear for everyone the per
sonal problems are hard enough.
To some strength enough is given so
hat they have it to spare for others

But that doe not mean that we are to

them on a par with human beings in a
manner which does not benefit them and
which they cannot understand or ap

Is nothing, because a shadow has no
substance. There is' no Invention that
man has ver' made which puts under
his eyea so startling an image of tha
fleetlngnea of life as Is furnished by the
sun-dlal. The movement of clock-hands
has no such effect, for that la mani
festly a purely mechanical phenomenon.
Here, perhapa, Ilea the occult reason why
these instruments have never been popu
lar. why they were often attached to
churchea and cemeteries, why moral
maxims . appeared In the mottoes that
they bore, and why, in these days, when
ever you find a man who has taken
pains to furnish his garden with a sun
dlal, you are sure to discover that he
is of a meditative or contemplative dis
position. The sun-dlal tells the true sun-time,
at the place or on the merldinn where
It la situated. Clocks ate prevaricators
and compromisers. It you want to know
the moment when it is truly noon you
must go to the sun-dlal for that Infor
mation. Tour clock will, ordinarily, give
you what la actually somebody else's
noon, situated a considerable distance
east or west of you, while somebody
else's clock will give him your noon, and
neither will have the real noon. This Is
all right for general, practical purposes

tne clock and the sun agree.
There you have the whole philosophy ot
the sun-dlal; It holds up Its motionless
finger (the gnomon), exactly In the meri
dian on sunny days, and the sun, travel
ing from east to west through the aky,
throws the shadow of the gnomon onto a
graduated dial, and causes thai shadow
to move eastward across the dial, keep
ing perfect step with its own progress In
the opposite direction. It shows the true
local sun-time at all seasons.
The simplest of all forma of sun-dlal.
and the easiest to make, tm a flat plane
of metal or stone, placed hortsontAlly,
snd having the line ot the true meridian
of the plaoe, or the true north and south
line, drawn through Its center. Another
line, at right angles to this. Is the a
o'clock, or east and west line.
Upon the meridian line la set up the
gnomon, a thin triangular pleoe of metal,
one of whose angles is a rigtit angle,
while one of Its two other angles is
equal to the latitude of the place where
the instrument is fixed upright on the
dial In such a way that its right-angled
corner Is st the northern end of the
base, or side on which It stands, while
the side opposite to ths right angle points
directly toward the pole of ths heavens,
whose elevation above the horison always
equals the latitude of the place where the
observer stands.
The shadow of the gnomon will move
across the plate on the side opposite to
that on which the sun shines, snd will
reach, in succession, a series of hour
lines, which must be drawn at such dis
tances apart aa to correspond with the
relative positions of the principal merl
dlans of ths globe.
Ths edge of the shadow approaches
the gnomon before noon and recedes from
It after noon'. At noon the sun will shine
directly down upon the top of ths upright
triangle, or exactly in Its plane, and
there will be no shadow, the moon Una
on the dial corresponding, as we have al
ready seen, with the direction of the
gnomon Itself. Standing on ths south
aide of the dial, tha forenoon hours will
be on ths left, and tbs afternoon hours
on the right.
The proper pne'tlone for the hour lines
on the dial can be ascertained by a sim
ple geometrical method, which Is too
long to be described here, but which will
found, for Instance. In the Encyclotwdla
Americana. It la very important to have
the meridian on the dial placed In exact
aooordance with the real meridian, and
the ascertainment of the latter is a prob
lem in elementary practical astronomy.
Many complicated and extremely beauti
ful forma of sun-dial were made In the
days before clocks and watches became
cinmon. They are precloua curtoa for
thoae who can appiectele them.

But It seems to me that the water

ready noticed that nearly every woman
who makes a wreck of her life runs her
craft aground when she Is befuddled with
liquor.
Kverybody knows this, snd that's what
makea them auspicious of ths girl who
drinks at all. and that's why you hear
men say and they say It with reverence
when they are discussing a girl. "Oh,
she's all right. Straight aa a string.
Never touches anything but water."
Just aa they'll ssy with a leer of another
girl. "Fond of the drink. That kind you
know."
Of course this Judgment Is often very
unjust. A girl who takea a drink with
men may never drink too much. But she
is always In danger, whereas the girl
who doesn't drink at all Is perfectly
safe, so why run the risk?
More than that, there's a lot in avoid

and keys our voices up to eonoert pitch.
We may not have had a single drop
of liquor to drink, but if there are a lot
of wine glasses at our plates, and if we
have taken even a sip of champagne, th
chances are that every one about us will
think that we are Intoxicated.
Drink ruins a woman's looks quicker
than anything else In the world. It dims
her eyes, It washes out tha roses In her
cheeks. It puts fat on her figure. It puts
folly In her heart, and makes her do the
things that she would give her life to
