LAST NIGHT’S DREAMS

DID YOU DREAM ABOUT MUSIC? TO PARAPHRASE slightly th* poet: When the night Is filled with music the care* which infest the day Shall fold their tents like the Arabs and as sUeatly steal away. For dream music, say the seers, por„tends good fortune to those who hear the phantom strains. When, through the world of the visions of night, wan* der , harmonious melodies, ' happiness and money are hovering In the near future waiting for you. It doesn’t matter whether you dream that you'aite producing the music yourself or-that you simply hear it —the omen is good. Among other things it that you are shortly to receive news of a cheerful sort about a friend whom, for " a long time, you have neither seen nor heard from. If you are as yet unmarried and in love It is a sign that your sweetheart Is kind and true —there Is a wedding and happiness ahead of you. To married people It indicates good-tempered

MODERN ADVgERTISING ADVERTISING today is very friendly to women. Women are doing a great deal of It and »doing it well. There is no discrimination in that business —at least against woman per se. She gets paid for what she does, not for what she is. There are many sorts of advertising, and women are in all of them. . The artist who makes the pictures that make the ad go is about as often a woman as a man. And woman writes as many ads as her brother. Some women already are managing advertising offices of their owp, and many are acting as advertising agents. Some confine themselves entirely to one form of advertising, specializing on magazine or newspaper ads, or display ads. Others take orders fyom any firm or individual and suggest the medium best suited, afterwards placing the ad where It will do the most good, In the form to which It is best adapted. Many of the large firms that cater to the wants of women always have a woman on their advertising staff, for they realize that a woman will understand how to talk to other .women In a way to interest and convince them on subjects that are distinctly hers. But advertising is not a hit-or-miss thing, which you can take up at a day's notice. Like anything at which people earn money, It takes time and hard work and training. There are fundamental principles that must be understood, there are Intricate questions concerning colors, types, expenses, effects on the eye or the ear, appropriateness. The woman . who wants to become a successful advtrtlser, whatever branch she may choose, ought to know something, at least, of all branches., She should know the cost of producing what she draws or writes, she should know what types best suit her picture, ,or whether or not Illustration will help her write-up. She must understand the psychology of advertising. < But here Is a- fine field for women, * ■ * • • 5* "i

children. If you hear some one running over the scales, either on a musical Instrument or with the voice, something good will happen to you through pure luck. « As to a choice of musical Instruments. to play on, a dream-guitar, singing at the same time, is especially favorable to lovers, though If you hear some one else playing the instrument' watch out —you are. too susceptible. Playing a dream-guitar is especially recommended to Induce happiness In the family. A banjo is almost as good as a guitar, though If you simply hear the banjo instead of playing it. yourself you may have some alight worries which will soOn be over. A flute foretells a birth In the family, add an organ Is an excellent omen unless it Is a-church-organ playing a dirge. In tliat case you may hear of something that will “make you tired,” or of the death of a relative, say the pessimists. The optimists say a dream-dirge on a dream-organ in a dream-church only means a slight annoyance soon past The music from a dream-piano is an excellent omen —marriage for those In love, domestic happiness for the married and thrift and fortune for all. The worst that even the kill-joy oracles can say* about dream-music Is that if It is harsh and discordant some temporary vexations await you. I . (Copyright)

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS

» “FOOLSCAP." THE use of this word to designate paper of a certain size dates back to the reign of Charles I of England. This monarcif, being desirous of increasing his revenues which had been sadly depleted by extravagance, disposed of a number of governnjental privileges, among these'the right to manufacture paper. At that time, hs proof of the fact that paper was made, by the crown, each sheet bore the royal coat-df-arms as a water-mark. ‘ r The parliament, under the protectorate of Cromwell, ridiculed the royal house in every possible manner—even going so far as to degree that a fool’s cap and bells be substituted for the coat-of-arms. The proroguing of the rump parliament nullified this law, but, meanwhile, the change had been made and the paper used In the parliamentary journals, approximately 17 by 14 inches, retained the title of “foolscap”—the title by which the larger, or legal, sheets, are known to this day, though individual watermarks have taken the place of the original cap and bells.

The SANDMAN STORY

How IVAN WON IVAN was a poor boy, but a very ambitious one. His father was a blacksmith, and whdn the great lords would come by in their armor to have their steeds shod, Ivan would sit by the forge and gaze in wonder at their handsome array. One day Lord Raymond rode up with his beautiful daughter accompanying him on a pony. Ivan admired the young girl as she sat waiting for her father’s horse to be shod. “Have you heard the news, father?” asked Ivan’s mother of her husband the next morning at breakfast “Lord

Raymond was last night called to the war by our king, and at noon today he and his 600 men will ride forth.” “But who will defend the castle if old Earl Edmond comes against It In the lord's absence?” asked the father. “I think there Is small fear of that,” replied the wife: So at noon the? long line of prancing steeds, headed by. the lord, rode down the road and was soon lost to sight. Obe September afternoon Ivan walked to the summit of a'hill, from which he‘could see the surrounding country for miles.’ A flickering light • caught his eye. There was a long procession of men winding across the valley, and kll were clad in glittering armor. They were keeping close to the shadow of the woods, but when they crossed the sunlit path their swords flashed back the light brightly. At the head rode a huge man on a black horse and nearby another carried a banner on which was a black eagle. I “It is old Earl Edmond 1” exclaimed Ivan. “He is coming to attack the lord’s castle In the absence of the owner.” Then fat below.lvan noticed that not far from ,the castle was a large byldge, and below It rushed a mighty i&er. ? “The earl will camp on this side of the big bridge this evening In the woods,” said the boy aloud. “And by morning will come over to take the castle. If the timbers holding it can be cut through tonight the wicked mefi will fall into the river.” With this he ran to his father’s shop and got an ax. Within an hour he was at the bridge and had run to thd other side, near the castle. Selecting one of the big; strong posts Which upheld the weight, he began to cut, and for two hours he kept at the work. At last the beam was easily broken In two parts. He then took the other post, and after three long hours of hewing and resting, he managed to also sever that The bridge would now fall apart were anyone* to walk on It But by placing several pladks over the holeJvan made It look as .if nothing had been done. At dawn he heard the tramp of men.

How It Started

PLAYING CARDS. CARDS for games were used In Egypt in the time of Joseph, hot the' modern form appears much later. The Chinese Dictionary Chlng-tze-tung claims their invention during the reign of Seun-ho, 1120 A. D. They appear to have come into Europe either in the wake of .the Saracen invasion or with the Crusaders, who learned about them In their voyages to the Orient. The modern deck is of French extraction.

The heavy horsts trotted on to the bridge, while Ivan hid in the bushes at the far end. At the head still rode Earl Edmond on his black charger. He neared the side leading to the castle. His horse came over the plank. It gave way and down steed and rider plunged into the river. The soldiers behind him could not stop their horses, and hundreds tumbled Into the water after their leaderSuddenly the sound of a bugle shrilled on the air and Ivan saw coming toward him along the river bank the same Lord Raymond who had marched away two months before. ■ Ivan told the lord how he had defeated' the wicked earl and how the castle was now saved from any attack by the enemy. “Well done, my.lad!" cried the lord. “You have done better than I could have with all my men. You must come to the castle and be part of my guard, so when you are a man you can be a knight.” > So Ivan took tip his abode at the castle. Years afterward, when he was married to Adele and reigning over the surrounding land, he had a great pillar of stone erected at the bridge to mark the spot where one ax defeated hundreds of men. i (Copyright)

Common Errors in English and How td A void Them ,

•‘SHALL" ANO "WILL." AMONG the most common errors in the use of English, and one of the most difficult to avoid, is the confusion of ‘‘shall’* and “wUL” The rule U that in the first person, either singular or plural, “shall”, must be used to indicate a future action. For example, say “I shall go to church tomorrow;" “we shall meet you there;" do not say “will go," “will meet” But If you desire to express determination, use “will;” for example, “I will go, and nothing shall prevent' me;” “we will be obeyed.”/.-’ .VZ' . In the second and third persons the usage in regard to “shall" and “will” fe exactly ppppsite to the usage in the first person. -The verb “will" express^ the future and “shall” 1 is used to denote determination. An amusing case of misuse of the words “will” and “shall” Is found tn the story of the Frenchman who fell The rule In regard to “should” and “would” Is the same as that governin, th. w ot “shall" ud “will." \
