' THE UNSEEN BRIDGE. There la a bridge whereof the span It rooted In the heart of man And reaehea without pole or rod Unto the great white throne of God. Its traffic is in human sighs Fervently wafted to the skies; Tis the one pathway from Despair And It Is called the bridge of prayer. PRETTY PARTY. The severe stormy weather of yesterday did not mar in the least the pretty "At Home" given In the afternoon by Mrs. Paul Comstoek at her home in South Fourteenth street. The rooms where the guests were received had been transformed into bowers of beauty by the means of the flowers and ferns and the Indoors did not resemble winter in the least, the flowers and ferns giving one the idea of summer. Klllarney roses were used in embellishing the parlors. Beautiful Richmond roses made the living room most attractive. In the den pretty white carnations added to the beauty of the decorations the white relieving the color scheme used In the other apartments, most effectively.

CONCERT A SUCCESS. One of the most delightful musicals of the winter was the concert given st the First M. E. church last night by the Euclid Male Quartet. All four have splendid voices and their work was of a very high class variety. Numbers by the quartet included. "Speed Bonnie Bark." "In Silent Mood." "Lead Kindly Light" and "The Old Canoe." At no time was the beautiful and complete harmony of their voices more clearly shown than in the latter number. The deep, full richness of their voices greatly enhanced the lovely, haunting melody of the song, making it one of the most charming numbers on the program. Each number was heartily encored and they responded with "catchy," humorous little

selections which always take with an audience.

Mr. O. W. Beaver added much to the program by his readings, which included "Knee-deep in June," from Riley and "Rockabye Land" from Arnold. The latter given by Mr. Beaver and the quartet was a beautiful little selection, combining the tenderness and charm of a tale of "Rockable Land" and a lullaby with the humour shown by the fear of waking the "baby," after she is finally asleep. "The Last Word," a solo given by Mr. Haynes, first tenor, is also highly worthy of mention. Mr. Haynes has a voice of unusual range and sweetness i of tone, and his work was very pleasing. One of the most artistic features of the program was the organ chimes. This set of chimes is the largest on the road and have a wonderful sweet tonal quality. Among the numbers given on them were "The Garden of Dreams," "Sly Cupid." and the "Melody of Love," while the encores included "Star Spangled Banner" and "America." Altogether the wholesome and refreshing as well as varied repertoire was a most delightful one. They combine the humorous and the serious, the secular and the sacred, making an ensemble most pleasing and satisfactory to every audience. OF INTEREST HERE.

PEOPLE SLEEP WITH THEIR WINDOWS CLOSED

111 Ventilated Bed-rooms Breeding Centers for Tuberculosis. Why Not Eat Out of Doors in Summer and Shun Picnics.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "I'm a perfect fresh air fiend," she says. At one o'clock next morning, under the valorous escort of a messenger boy, wearily wending your way home after a strenuous session with the matutional journal of your town, you walk past her house. You glance up. Everything tight as a drum. Walk round town at night and take high window observations and you will not find a window in three blocks pulled down or pushed up an inch. "You'll catch an awful cold." says someone, "I passed your house and saw your windows pulled clear down at the top I should think you'd freeze." And she sniffled away with her own cold caught, probably, by breathing vitiated air in a cold storage bedroom. Of all the villainous habits, customs, or whatever you may term it or them that of sleeping in ill-ventilated rooms is the worst. Many people think if they sleep in a cold room that is all that's necessary. There is no virtue in cold air. Impure cold air is just as bad as impure warm air. What people need is to accustom themselves to sleeping in a room with windows pulled half way down at the top in all sorts of weather. These awful headaches women wake up with in the morning with consequent all day sessions in bed still in the same old air would occur then at gradually lengthening intervals. Pile on the covers but pull the windows down. Let the snow sift in on the cover what of that, if you're warm? ' There is more nonsense current about ventilation than any other of the thousand and one things about which people delude themselves. Take the schoolhouses in instance. They have a system of ventilation perfect in theory faulty in practice. You don't dare say a word about it or you have your head cut off just above the ears. But it's the truth that air percolating through two or three cylinders, or whatever they are, from the cellar, has not that degree of vivacity which attends its progress through the windows. A school teacher told the writer that the air was villainous in her room but she didn't dare open a window. Why? Against the rules. The writer once heard a weird tale to the effect that a school teacher in this town was docked forty-nine cents for attending her grandmother's funeral. Whether or not this was apochryphal who can say in this day of the press agent and the lecturer on art? It is the truth, however, that school rooms need more fresh air than they get. They nail the windows down and then hand you out something through a hole in the wall. What an absurdity to bring a teacher before the bar and arraign her for insubordination because nature tells her that the air in the room is bad and she puts up the windows and lets the fresh air in. Why don't people use common sense? If air's bad it's bad whether it is forced from the cellar through a pipe or fanned in through the roof. Every recess if they have recesses any more all the windows in a school-room should be raised and left until the air was completely freshened. Any ordinary idiot knows that thirty or forty people shut up in a room are bound to exhaust the valuable properties of the atmosphere. No system of ventilation, however workable on paper, can be invented Always

Memory

that will take the place of direct appli-i cations of fresh air. Neither should there be a lot of as- j

sinine rules governing the regulation of school-rooms. Let the individual teacher use her own discretion. The truth is there are entirely too many rules and regulations and laws and decrees and statutes and exceptions to the latter and rulings by the circuit courts and heaven knows what else. The world is tied up hand and foot with a lot of fooligh red tape of its own manufacture that hinders it from expanding in any cf the famed directions. You should have system everywhere but not czarism. And there's a lot of the latter in our celebrated free institutions. And none more so than in the public schools. No sovereign sitting in an inner chamber and issuing edicts to his minions is more despotic than the average American school superintendent. Teachers tremble before him. Principals sidestep and truckle. If he finds a window open he can shut it up, nail it down and drag the ashen-faced culprit before one of those star-chamber sessions from which none return save with a crippled temper and nerve prostration. These observations are general in character and apply to Indianapolis, Dayton, New Orleans and Boston as well as to Oskosh and Richmond, Indiana. If women who want to retain their complexions only knew it one of the best ways is to sleep with all the windows open. No amount of steam-fitting and massaging will take the place of gentle zephers playing over your pillow the while you sleep unconsciously on. People don't half enjoy themselves with the "means at hand." How many people, in instance, ever eat out of doors in the summer. Aside from picnicking uncomfortably and buggily in remote spots only reached by the automobile, the street car or other artificial locomotion? It's a continental habit, this of serving out of doors, and a charming one. It might just as well be an American one. Take your own garden, in instance or "back yard" as it is unaesthetically called. Supper served on a small table out there with your flowers and grass and trees is as charming as anything you could imagine if the day is warm and the sunset glorious. The discomforts of picnicking are done away with. And you have all the delight of the out-of doors. A picnic is ordinarily an abomina tion. A lot of people who don't care anything about each other seat themselves on the ground and proceed to spear for food. Positions become cramped, your foot goes to sleep, you shift your support from the right arm to the left, the chicken wing falls down your kimono sleeve and when rescued falls into the gelatine and in trying to intercept it before it reaches the latter, you upset the milk which percolates round and about Myrtle's new blue dress and finally pools in Edna's slippers. In the meantime it has grown so dark no one can see the moon rising an hour later than scheduled and you crawl round harpooning chicken sandwiches and pickles to the light of scratching matches. In the interim you get your foot in the lemon butter and retire to a handy stump in disgust. Then there Is the picnic where ev eryone takes just what they please, i and when you meet down by the first i spring you find eight of you have IRosdly

brought bread and the ninth a box of peppermints. Picnicking is a nightmare. But eating in the garden is an idyll. And sleeping with all the windows open when it is twenty below sero is a dream.

National Shortsightedness. "In this country." said the sociologist, "everything possible Is done to discourage people from marrying." "How so?" inquired one of the listeners. "You have to buy the marriage license, few the preacher, the boys give you what they call a shivaree.' your friends throw old shoes at you. the newspapers print caricatures of you. life insurance agents bound you. you bump richt up against the cost of living, and If you find you've made a mistake you have to go to no end of trouble to get a divorce." Chicago Tribune, His Strong Point. "This Is a pretty bad report card." said the father of the young hopeful as he looked over the teacher's figures. "You seem to be "poor' in pretty much verythlug." "That's 'cause teacher only puts down th' studies I ain't good in. I ought to have 'excellent' in one thing." "And what's that?" hopefully lu quired the father. "Flghtln". I can lick any boy In th' class:" Cleveland Plain Dealer. Consolation. "So you are the father of twins?" "Yes. They look Just like me too." "Oh. well, I wouldn't worry. Some children when they get older don't look at all the way they did when they were babies." Birmingham Age-Herald.

ORE DOSE ENDS INDIGESTION AND SETTLES ANY SOUR, GASSY, DISORDERED STOMACH.

A little Diapepsin regulates bad Stomachs in five minutes. Every family here ought to keep some Diapepsin in the house, as any one of you may have an attack of Indigestion or Stomach trouble at any time, day or night. This harmless preparation will digest anything you eat and overcome a distressed, out-of-order stomach five minutes afterwards. If your meals don't tempt you, or what little you do eat seems to fill you, or lays like a lump of lead in your stomach, or if you have heartburn, that is a sign of Indigestion. Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and take a little just as soon as you can. There When

Coal P'He has melted away in mid-winter like a wagon load of ice under the rays of a July sun, you've doubtless wondered what became of ALL the heat generated. You've felt sure that much of it did not find its way into your house. What became of it? Up the chimney? Smoke pouring forth in volumes? Yes, and much of the heat that should be yours went "up in smoke." Peck Williamson Underfeed sends all the heat units from the coal into your house instead of out the chimney.
