"I wish from my heart I could per- suade every person who is run down in health to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial." Thus writes Mrs. Louie Mitchell, Oak Point, Man., who fur- ther says:--"About a year ago I was | of the tree spirit to the fact that we! a weak woman, suffering from a run down system and impoverished blood.

There is little need of emphasizing the importance of heredity. We do in- herit traits of character from our parents, but sometimes there are great differences even among brothers and sisters. One may have generous traits, the other mean and hard as nails. Brothers and sisters may not even resemble each other in looks. We are strange, nervous mechan- isms, we humans, fearfully and won- derfully made. S. T. Ballenger of New York, at a convention of paint and varnish- the effect of such a commonplace thing as wall paper: "A young soldier, mentally wrecked by shell-chock, was experimented on by doctors. Taken to a room where everything was a vivid red, he shrieked with agony. Then they led him to a primrose yel- low room. He sighed heavily and drifted into deep sleep. Kept in this room, he rapidly recovered to normal. Ballenger says scientists lave dis- covered that a room furnished in a dark color tends to cause melancholia and an aversion to work. A red room temporarily stimulates, then reacts in nervous headaches. Blue induces calm. vitality. Yellow makes people ami- able, contented, soothed. This is a good tip when ycu redecorate your Lome. Too often we are the victims of en- vironment. What a lot of harm can be wrought in a family by a hard- hearted and thoughtless parent! How many children have left the old home- stead because they did not receive any affection or even consideration! Lack of sympathy and lack of interest among members of a family are the cause of many a wrecked home. Then too, the common practice of nagging or fault-finding is bad and often leads to dire results. An environment that is pleasant and helpful makes for a higher and better standard of living and the re- verse tends only to produce unhappi- ness, lack of interest in things worth while and a general disposition to take a distorted view of life.

"The liner, she's a lady," wrote Kip- ling, and he must have had in mind this namesake of the world's enchant- ing capital, the "Paris." At first sight of this thoroughbred of the seas, the i &race of her design impresses you even ) more than the imyggnsity Er pro- portions. The "Paris" is French in every line and detail. The furnishings, the cuisine, the conveniences, the com- fort, 'the atmosphere of culture and luxury are essentially French. Y/hen in France! You enjoy six days of your visit to France before you ever set foot on her soil. Famous Parisian decorators have made the cabins de luxe as fascinating as the rooms of any great chateau. In the magnificent dining salon one recognizes the same Old World cour- tesies that make dining so delightful in famous Parisian cafes and hotels, and the same masterpieces of culinary art are offered for the traveller's en- joyment. The kitchens of the "Paris" are a marvel--ranges of polished steel and gleaming nickel--long rows of steam serving tables--devices for timeing the cooking of delicacies--white-clad chefs who take pride in their work of converting raw material into tempt- ing dishes. On the "Paris" children have the happiest of voyages. Governesses who speak both English and French take entire charge. They teach French, or- ganize games and supervise the child- ren at mealtime. Plenty of toys and a Punch and Judy show every day! So entertaining is it that the grown-ups love to visit this happy haven and join fn the merriment of the fortunate lit- tle folk. The gymnasium is . equipped with every contrivance for the maintenance of physical condition. The promenade deck and the sundeck afford oppor- tunity for healthful exercise. The fresh ocean air gives zest to the morn- ing walk, and you may play deck ten- nis, shuffleboard, golf, or a variety of other sports. You do not need to wait until you reach Paris to enjoy the novelty of the Boulevard meal---on the cafe ter- race, with its flowers and shrubs and tiny tables, you may sip luxuriously, while looking out over an ivory-crest- ed, jade-hued sea. For the evening there is the music of a famous orchestra for dancing in the Grand Salon; concert programmes and often the impromptu appearances of Internationally known artists. The Anglo-Saxon visitor acquires something of the French capacity for enjoyment, for the carefree laughter that makes one young again; this re- mains an unforgetable inspiration.

Many people, after they have boast- ed of their good luck, proceed to "touch wood." So did our remote an- cestors, the tree worshippers. An authority on such matters wrote: "The remarkable similarity in customs all over Europe points to the conclu- sion that tree-worship was an import ant element in the early religion of mankind, especially of the Arvan stock, and the singular uniformity of rites and ceremonies which can easily be shown to exist in widely separated countries warrants us in believing ! they cannot have changed much from ! very remote ages; and that the prac- tices continued down to a very recent period--some even among ourselves-- were substantially identical with the rites: and ceremonies observed by Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks, and Ro- mans." The primitive belief was that spirits resided in trees. Without this basic idea being entirely lost, there came the period of the Sacred Groves and the Druids' Oaks, and then the dedication of certain sorts of trees to the earliest and simplest form of super- stition. We touch wood to call the attention recognize his influence in the good luck | of which we boast, and in order that | he may not feel slighted and change | our good fortune into bad; at least, that is why our ancestors touched wood. : a aa His Favorite Plece. The great musician had been enter- taining his guests, and as he rose from the piano a bushing youth approached him. "What a wonderful piece of music!" he exclaimed. "Will you tell me the name of it, please" "It was an improvisation," replied the musician. "Ah, of course!" said the youth. "An i old favorite of mine, but for the mom- ent I had forgotten its name."
