Do You Know That
The word "milliner" meant origin
ally one from Milan a Milaner;
just as a "cordwainer," ' or shoe
maker, was a worker of leather
from Cordova.
A custom peculiar to Buddhists is
that of wandering about the country
with hammer and chisel and carv
ing holy symbols upon rocks by the
wayside. v
Shoeing horses to . protect their
hoofs against the evils of hard
usage was unknown to the Greeks
and Romarrs, and is first mentioned
in the history of the Celts as late
as the fifth century.
i Wordsworth, w 1) o succeeded
Sonthey as English laureate, held
the unique honor of being the only
poet to the crown who never wrote
an ode in his official capacity. He
was also the most elderly poet to
receive such an appointment.
In Persia the wedding service is
read in front of a fire. In Nicara
gua the priest, taking the couple
each by the little fingers, leads them
to an apartment where a fire is
lighted, and there instructs the
bride in her duties, extinguishing the
fire by way of conclusion. In Japan
the woman kindles a torch and the
bridegroom lights one from it, the
playthings of the wjfe being then
burned.
D
reams That Do Not Come True-
The Childless Woman and the Mother Speak
By DOROTHY DIX. ,
AS IT SEEMS TO BE. :
The Childless Woman Speaks.
"I have no children and my life is
as empty as an unfilled vessel.
"I hate the orderly desolation of
my house, with nothing ever awry
in it. No mud is ever tracked on my
rugs by little feet. No little finger
prints mar my mahogany. There is
no smudge from grubby little hands
on my picture books. Everything is
prim, precise, and soundless in my
home. , v
"And it is so quifjT There is no
gay childish laughter, no babbling
little voices. No cries of exeitement
over the wonders of a world in which
fresh discoveries are made every day.
Everything is as still and solemn, and
dull as in a church.
"My husband and I are very fond
of each other, but we do not find
much to talk about. Long ago we
learned all of each other's opinions
on every subject under the sun. We
are middle-aged people, and fate
has dealt all our cards, and they
lay face up on the table, so we know
about what we are to have.
"Our plans and ambitions have
either failed or materialized into suc
cess, so we no longer build air cas
tles. Besides, when people reach out
age they lose interest in themselves;
their wants and desires narrow down
to a very little.
"The middle-aged must take their
pleasures, and their hopes, and their
ambitions vicariously, and they are
cheated of this unless they have chil
dren in whom they can live again. My
husband and I would not gape in each
other's faces if we had a beautiful
young daughter whose future we were
planning cjut, and a son in whose
career we were absorbed.
"What plans we would be making
then, what hopes would be gilding our
days, what ambitions would be thrill
ing us, how young life 'would surge
back through our sluggish veins ir
our children!
"I think the woman at whose knee
little children have lisped their
evening prayers has been close to God
Himself. I think the woman who has
watched the little child's mind un
fold has been privileged to see mir;
acles, and I know that the only wom
an who ever finds the fountain of eter
nal youth is the one who finds it in
her children. .
"So I do not envy the woman who
has a string of matched pearls. I
envv the woman who has clinging lit
tle arms around her neck. I do not
envy, the woman who has her box at
the opera. I envy the woman who
hears the music ot tne SDheres wnen
a, little child calls her "mother," and
when I come home at night I would
rather stumble over a toy railway
train on the floor than over bags of
gold.
"It is only the women who have
children who really live."
Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
No Discredit to Him.
Dear Mlsa Fairfax:
Am twantv-four. and after aolna about
with a young man for three months found
that he had been married five years, but
haa had tbe marrlase annulled. He hae
aaked me to become hie wife, but my par
ents object. Thelma.
If the reasons for the annulment
of his marriage reflect no discredit
on the man you love I tninic your
parents would do well to be more
lenient in their views. Don't forget
it is of your happiness they are think
ing even while you feel that they are
destroying it Try to discover iust
exactly what are the reasons for their
attitude and if it is simply a prejudice
against the man because of the fact
that he has been previously married,
I think you will be able to make them
feel differently if you talk it over
quietly and without rancor.
' Be Friends.
Dear Hlsa Falrfaa; I am II and need
your advice. I mot a nice young man whom
I have learned to care for. He told me
he cared for me and thought I was very
nice, but Intimated that marriage would
never ' enter hie lite for years and yean
to come. He told me that he could not
put hie head on builneae and aleo think
about a wife at the eame time. He want
to be good friends with me nevertheleea.
Pleaee advlee me. HEARTBROKEN.
A girl H young as you la not likely to
be very well prepared for marriage. The
tendency la for girls of today not to marry
at so immature an age. Ton can well af
ford to be "friends" with this man. And
for the sake of your dignity, don't hint
about marriage to htm as Z rather sus
pect you have prevloualy done.

The Mother Speaks. A
"For heaven's sake, can't you chil
dren keep quiet a single moment!
You've almost made me distracted!
You, Johnnie, quit making a noise
like a steam engine! Tommie, if you
beat that drum another time 1 11 box
your ears.
"No, Janie, you can't wear our
wuiic uicaa tine aiictnuuii. auuvc
got to save that for Sunday. Now
hush that. I won't have you scream
ing over a little thing like that. John
nie, quit pulling Lucy's hair. You
shouldn't treat your little sister that
way, and if you don't stop being so
bad I'll tell your father when he
comes home tonight.
"S-sh-sh, now you've waked the
baby, and you know he's fretful be
cause he's teething, and with this heat
and I've just spent an hour in getting
him to sleep.
"No, Johnnie, you can't use the
table cover to make an Indian tent,
and I won't have the dining room
chairs used for your submarine. The
last time you did it, you tore a hole
in he leather cushions playing a mine
had struck it.
"Oh, dear, I'm just wild with all
this confusion and noise,, and I feel
as if I'd give ten years of my life if
I could just go off to some place for
a single day alone, where I wouldn't
hear a sound, nor do anything but
rest, and there wouldn't be somebody
caning me every single minute
'Mo-o-ther, may I have a cooky.'
'Mo-o-ther, gimme a dime to go to
the movies, 'Mo-o-ther, make Tom
mie behave, Mo-o-ther, may I do
tnis ana may i do that
"And cleaning! This house looks
like a pig sty, and yet I ve straight
ened it up fifty times today. I .do
nothing but pick up blocks, and
tops, and dolls and things, and put
them away, and hang up caps and
hats and dresses, and sweep up
crumbs, and wash dirty little faces
trom morning until night And
when I'm through there's nothing to
show for what I've done, because it
has all to be done over again.
"As for pleasure, I've forgotten
there is any such thing as a dance
or a theater. How can I go with a
houseful of children that I have to
watch every instant for fear, they'll
get the croup, or set themselves
afire, or help themselves from the
medicine chest? Why, I can't trust
them out of my sight for a second
without their getting into trouble
and doing something they shouldn't
do, and that no human imagination
could have foretold that they were
iikeiy to ao.
"And I'm shabby. We've a decent
income, but it all goes for the mil
lions of things the children have to
have and there's no money left for
anything but the bare necessities for
the poor parent. I was ashamed of
myself when I saw how dowdy I
looked when I met Mary Jones, who
has no children and who dresses like
a fashion plate.
"You, Johnnie, didn't I tell you to
stop pulling' your sister's hair? Mary,
for pity sake," are you yowling yet
about wearing that dress? Well, go
and put on all the clothes you ye
got, if that will stop you. Tommie,
this is the tenth time I've told ye,
I WILL NOT let you make a sub
amrine out of the dining room chairs.
S-s-sh-sh, don't you wake the baby
again1
"Oh, dear, when they raise statues
to the martyrs, I don't know why
they don't use a mother for the
model."
Not Far From Right
The day waa hot and the aleepy class
found It difficult to concentrate Ita atten
tion on lie teaka, though the hlatory mis
tress did her best to make the lesion Inter

"Now, glrla," said she at last, "can you
