Ik I h CONSIDER THE LITTLE THINGS, THEY COUNT MOST, M'LISS SAYS Temporary Separation Best Cure When Petty Domestic Incidents Assume Proportions of Frankenstein Monster THE Uttte things! How very big, liow very Important they are after nil! If wo could ollmlnatb them from Hfo half of the sorrow of tho world would vanish 'vanish and, ltewlsc, half of Its Joy. Only yesterday I heard of a man and woman who nre seriously conlcmplat Injc a divorce because sustained friction over tho matter of turning out the light at night Is makbig Hfo together Impossible for them. Tho husband contends that tho last one to hop Into bed should bo the one to extinguish tho light. Tho wlfo contends that ho no longer loves her because When she Is finished reading, he, having retired earlier, Is not willing to rise from his downy coUch and perform tho simple servlco of pressing the button of tho switch for her. Thoy nre rational, Intelligent beings, yet this petty thing Is gradually assum ing huge and tragic proportions. Each is holding out for Individual rights, and If something doesn't soon happen nn otherwlso happy home Is going to bo disrupted. If I wcro that woman I thlnl, I should go away for a little while, or suggest to my husband that ho take up his abode elsewhere. Distance, which Ii said to lend enchantment, also permits ono to get the proper perspective. These silly people are too close to tho ridiculous triviality that is corroding their lives. When an artist wants to correct n. faulty lino or bad color ho docs not peer closely nt his canvas, but goes a little distance away, so that ho can see It In Its relation ship to tho rest of tho painting. - It is my confirmed belief that It Is not good to see too much of any one. True, thero aro people who "wenr'" wonderfully well; whoso source of Interest and charm seems well nigh Inexhaustible, and yet there comes a. time when ench and overy one of us feels that a separation oven from a well-beloved one would be advisable. Tho friendship or tho love of n man or a woman Is too precious a treasure to bo lightly sacrificed. Even as the continual dropping of water wenrcth nwny the stone, as the good book tells us, so also docs nagging dlslntcgintc the nffec tlons. Out of the wisdom of somo ono's personal experience, I urn sure, ramo tho adage, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Apropos the little things, that clever woman, Allco Ducr Milter, has written an arresting poem in tho Century called "After the Quarrel." To quarrel, sho opines, is human, but to quarrel over trifles, even "those trilled that strlko their roots to tho very heart of each," Is sin, sho declares. "But if we must lot's quarrel for something great, For something final and dangerous mastery, hate, Freedom, or Jealousy, virtue, death or life." It Is not the vital things that destroy happiness It Is the little things, IIUo the turning out of a light, which, In tlm$, assume tho proportions of a Krankcn .steln monster. I remember ono time Interviewing Mrs. Jane Deeter Itipptn, who Is in charge of tho Domestic Relations Court, nnd through whoso hniuls pass all divorce cases before they get Into court. Sho told me tint ninety-nine ,out of a hundred complaints were attributable to tho little things. In ono case 'the dropping of a plate the wife thought her husband did It to "get on" her nerves was thought sufficient grounds for a separation. Mrs. Miller Is right; to quarrel over such a petty Incident Is nothing short of sinful. M'ldSS. SEEN IN THE SHOPS j: Letters to the Editor of AddreM nil communication to M'I.I. rnrr of llir i:rnlnR Ida ot the imper only. the Woman's Pace Ledger. rite on one Dear M'LlsiVr-Cnn you tell me an In teresting way to announco my daughter's engagement. I nm going to havo an In formal dance for her. hut no programs. Also the fact thnt I can Iiavo only a buffet supper eliminates tho possibility of an nouncing It at table. Can you buy fnlso "crackers" which, when pulled, Instead of producing dunce caps, will reveal little notcB announcing the betrothal? NIJW JERSEY. Since you say you are not going to have favors or programs nt your dance, why not have the announcement made In this way. At the Intermission between the dances havo a telegram delivered to you. It can be real or "faked" that is. de livered by a youngster In the neighbor hood and written on ono of the telegraph companies' blanks. It should be received with an air of great mystery by you, for being tha mother you are the proper ono to announco your daughter's betrothal. Word it llko thl3-. "To Miss Mary Smith, party of tho first part, and Mr. John Jones, party of tho Hecond part, I'.in t'upld wires his felicitations." Your daughter can then recjlvo the congratulations of her frleml3. Falsa crackers. Into which you Insert the announcement, are not to be bought, I behove, after a thorough search of tho shops. Why not slip a hcroll bearing the news Into the end of one of the reg ular crackers used as favors at parties? This can bo done. If tho ends are care fully untwisted, without damage to the cracker. Or you might make as many hearts out of red paper as you have guests. Write the news on one side of the heart In gold Ink. Now hide tho hearts In every nook and corner of tho room. During the intermission announce that there are a number of perfectly good hearts missing, and that you will give a leward to me lucky girl or man who finds the most. Hao a heart-shaped box of bonbons for a prize. Dear M'LIss I read your article on "Hag Rug-making Replaces Knitting" last evening and I am very much Interested. I am crocheting' a rag rug made of "mill end" cuambray purchased In the basement of a department stqre. and It now con tains 100 yards ot 27 inches wide goods with four different colors. I wish you would tell mo the nnme of the book referred to In your article. IC H. An expert tells me that "mill ends," If the proper colors are blended, are admir ably suited to rag rug-making.

Keif-addressed envelope, nnd must mention tho date on which tho nrtlclo appeared By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. IN rMEUMON'IA nnd some other acute Illnesses there Is a time. In most cases, when the high fever disappears nnd the patient experiences marked relief from the symptoms ho has been suffering. This sudden disappearance of the fever is called tho crisis. It Is eagerly welcomed, and by no means n fearful event. The word crisis, as thus applied, Is not the same as the crisis of a battle or some great movement The crisis of pneumonia is favorable In Itself, always. It occurs at any time from the third to tho 12th day. Why tho crisis? It occurs In a few hours, perhaps 10 or IB hours tho temperature drops from 103 degrees or 101 degrees or higher down to normal or two or three degrees below the normni 98 degrees A profuso sweat ac companies the fall In temperature. All of this Is a distinct relief to patient nnd phy sician. Theio Is no particular reason why a change for the worse should be fenred nt or nenr the time of the crisis Indeed. If tho patient can weather his seizure up to tho crisis that It, If n cMsls Is his lucky lot then he will In nil probability come through a winner, provided he has not squandered his substance In wrong IIMng.
