There are several reasons why this afternoon heada6he conies on. and if you are troubled with it, you want to asfe yourself a few questions and look closely Into your dally routine. Perhaps you have a way" of getting «p too late to give yourself the necessary time for your hath and dressing and breakfast. You should have • good breakfast, with cereal and an egg, for you have much work between breakfast.anfl lunch, and dinner was • long while ago. And you ought to eat slowly. Or perhaps yon don't eat the right eort of lunch. An eclair and a cup of coffee or chocolate won't do. You •re bound to develop a fine headache on that sort of diet. You don't need a heavy lunch, but it must be nourishing. A bowl of toast and milk and • baked apple with cream will give you tiie sort of food yoo can 'work on. If your food Is all right, possibly you are working in a badly ventilated Office. This is almost sure to bring on headache and lassitude. If you cannot have the window open enough to insure good air, you can probably man- ~age to get out by an open window two or three times during the day, and there take a half dozen or more deep, full breaths. Sometimes the pain is caused by eye trouble, and then of course you must ask the advice of an oculist Sometimes it comes from rushing too much at the beginning of the day. Don't try to do all the work there is In the first portion of the morning. You can't use up all your steam at the first take-off and hope to keep it, too. Often a brisk walk of half an hour ROMANCE OF MICROS ' "CABARET." BROUGHT into prominence of late years because of the large number of hotels and restaurants which have advertised "dancing cabarets" or "Jazz cabarets" or have used the term as indicative of a place where one can secure food and amusement at the same time, "cabaret" has come to be regarded as a new addition to the English language--a word which, from its form and pronunciation, is evidently French. As a matter of fact the term was originally of Gallic origin, bit it is by no means modern, having been widely used in Eng-' land during the" Sixteenth century as a synonym for "tavern." There wjas nothing musical about the cabarets of this period and the only amusement they afforded ' was that which the travelers furnished. While the word was used by Bramhall in one of his works published in 1685, it passed out of the language soon after that and did not return again until about the middle of the Eighteenth century. At thfs time, however, its stay was short and its popularity limited. Not until the dancing craze struck the world a few years ago was it resurrected tai its present sense. It has changed Its meaning so much of late that. If a hotel advertised a "cabaret" and did not prQvide at least an orchestra, it would be accused of fraud-- while as a matter of several centuries of custom It would be entirely within its right* (Copyright.)

John Burroughs Has Vivid Recoils©- tienref the Little Maid Who : < Won His Heart / 4 John* Burroughs' reflections of his first sweetheart are as and rose tinted as the cheeks of the little lady as she ran down the hill to play with her ardent young arfltlrer of five. "Uncle John tells about her In "Jciltn Burroughs, Boy and Man," the semiautobiography which Is written by tyis friend, Dr. Clara Barrus, "I can see her now, «s she came running down the hill from the schoOthouse, the cape of her little pink sunbonnet fluttering in the breese," said Mr. Burroughs as he pointed out the coarse she took down tlje road to her home. "I must have been between five and, six years old. I had gone over to neighbor Bartram's in the West settlement with father cm a stoneboat drawn by the oxen. Father probably went there to help him draw stones for • new piece of wall--they used to exchange work in that way. "I can hear her father's voice as he sent it over the hills to the schoolhouse'-- he had a prodigious voice-- 'Eleanor, come home.' And soon she came flying down the road to play with me. "We played by the barn on a little mound of hay. I remember w§ made, a nest there--I can see her now as she took a wisp of hny ahd punched it together, making believe it was an egg, and that she was a hen--I; «an see the sharp angles of the shining hay as she tried to shape it like an, egg before she covered it in the nest."

O of #rlng •precede its full chorus in the display of blouses and separate skirts that make their initial appearance In January. They are the straws that tell the direction of the winds of fashion and likely to be the very best efforts of designers, working with ney fabrics. Just now the shops are staging the new styles in Skirts and blouses, and, already some of them have made a fine success. A favorite In separate shirts has been chosen for illustration here, 'made of a fabric that has been developed in a variety of ways, and designers show themselves ingenious in the use of these striped goods. In this particular wool fabric there are stripes of black and white shepherds' check alternating with plain black stripes, but there are several combinations In different colors, showing the checked stripe alternating with stripes that are barred with alternating #1#% I* % > pictured; the material to arranged to box' plaits with the checked Btrlpe folded uppermost and the plain stripe under, so that the plain stripe does not show except when the plaits spread apart. This arrangement is reversed in other skirts of the same or similar material, especially where the alternating stripe is not plain, but none of the models out-rank the one pictured for trim, neatness and crispness, or for all-round usefulness. It follows the trend of new style in Its narrow belt fastened with bone buttons at the front and the same buttons are set In prim rows onNeacli side. The well-tailored separate skirt la fully established in the regard of women as tailored suits are and < almost as indispensable, providing a very welcome change in the same character of clothes. The skirt pictured, in light weight wool, Is a spring garment that will be usefal all summer. - „ .

Brush with butter DIP YOU DREAM OF YOUR RELATION8? ? jkjOSTRADAMUS, AlbBTtoe MagntA, lN Mother Shitfton and wtfse gypsies seem to agree that it is a good omen to meet one's uncle In a dream and portends a happy marriage or a good substantial legacy, or both. But meeting your aunt in Dreamland is not so propitious, for lt signifies that you will shortly be called down for something of which' you are not guilty. In meet* lng relatives in dreams the signs seem to be considered to hold whether those seen be alive or dead. If you dream of seeing the dead alive It la an especially good omen. To dream of one's mother, after not having seen her for a long "time, Indicates that you will make friends again with some of your relatives with whom you have had a falling out. There is a common Impression that, one's mother being dead. It portends some misfortune to see her In a dream. Not so say the authorities; it Is a propitious omen, and to dream of speaking with her indicates that you will soon receive some good. news. But if one hears his mother calling out to him in a dream lt Is an indication that he shouldjpend his ways and pay stricter attention to his business; perhaps engage in some new venture. If one dreams that he Is making his home with his mother It Indicates security In fortune. jTo sum up, to see relatives, alive or |lead, In fairly good health in your dream la a most favorable prognostication. ' (Copyright.) G Interesting Relics Recently Brought to Vancouver From the Land Where He Perished. - After being in the possession of the thrifty natives of King William's land for three-quarters -of a century, a lar^e number of Interesting relics of the Ill-fateJ Sir John Franklin polar expedition have been brought from the frozen north by Joe Benard, who is here after a four* years' stay along the northernmost coast of the North American continent, says a Vancouver (B. C.) dispatch. Though priceless from • collector's point of view, the utilitarian value of the relics is negligible, and they were 'obtained by Benard for a piece of lumber worth gfceslbljr 20 cent* en the coast. A few brass trattons among the relics are believed to have belonged to the distinguished leader, though there is as yet no positive proof of this. Benard also obtained a number of primitive scientific Instruments used by the northern tribes. These will be sold to various museums and univer-' sities for which the explorer has been collecting ethnological specimens and data since 1910. He alse brought a collection -of furs worth- approximately $25,000. . * Sir John Franklin, wjgfi 154 com* panions, sailed into the Arctic in 1845 to find the northwest passage, and was never heard of again. After many relief expeditions ha<f failed, his fate was ascertained In 1859, when bleached skeletons were found on the trail, to H o d a o m b a y . • ^ The Middle tnjtlaf. - With the exception of WillHHn H. Taft, Senator Harding Is the first President since Rutherford B. Hayes, to use more than one Christian name. Grover Cleveland, Wllliaqi McKlnley, Theodore Roosevelt and Wood row Wilson (who dr<?pped his first name Thomas, early in the career) got along without middle names' or initials. The ipiddle initial, incidentally. Is almost exclusively an American characteristic. An Englishman may call himself John James Smith, but practically never John J. Smith. A Frenchman may be bapUsed Auguste Charles Jesus Marie Georges Dupont, but ne will be known *to the world A GeorgeB Dupont, and probably will sign hitpsetf O. Dupont., The use of more than one given namg Is puzzling to a Frenchman. When Senator Lodge Is mentioned in the French press, he Is never "M Lodge," but "M. Cabot Lodge," or^as one prominent Paris daily writes lt, "M. Cabot-Lodge." The President-Elect may look forward to -be known on the continent as "President Gamaliel Harding."-- Editorial Digest. rt 'J-0»T OPPORTUNE! ' • . '.lA.' A.
