WOMAN’S Care or Neglect "PAGE. of Little Things BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. The importance of little things can. not be overestimated. Nature does not think them trivial, and it little be- hooves us to do so. Everything is ONE GRANDMOTHER OF TODAY SHOWED SUCH CARE IN THE LITTLE TTER OF A GAME OF CROQUET WHEN SHE W A GIRL THAT SHE WON PARTNER FOR LIFE. made up of infinitesimal elements and the fabric of life is woven with tiny threads. To make the pattern pleas- ing and attractive so that it satisfies us and delights our family and friends we have to see that each strand in the weave is as nearly right as we can make it. We have to wax the threads with kindness and courtesy and weave the fabric in the loom of love, after seeing that each little bit, however tiny the thread, that goes into the A BEDTIME STORIE Barker the Seal. The dog that barks may never bite, | ive you quite a fright. But still may give you quite a fright, At a certain point on the beach there were many rocks. Some of these rocks went far out into the water, so that when the tide was high they were wholly covered. When the tide was low, some of them would be entirely out of the water and some would be partly covered with water. They were big rocks. Seaweed was attached to them and in among them lived all sorts of curious littls seafolk. Both Jimmy Skunk and Reddy Fox had discovered that when the tide was out there sometimes could be found in among the rocks things very good to eat. So at low tide ‘they were in the habit of going down there to see what they could find. 1t happened one night that Reddy Fox was poking about among these rocks clear down to the water's edge. Beyond him he could see the flat tops of great rocks standing in the water, but he paid no attention to these. They did not interest him in the least. He could not get out to them, so Why think about it? He had just found a fish that had been washed ashore. It looked like & very good fish., Reddy opened his mouth to pick it up, when suddenly there was a sharp bark right behind him. Reddy did not even take time} to look. He did not pick up the fish. Away he raced up the beach as f:uatk as his legs could take him. Several times haghe:\rd that bark and each time he heard it he tried to runm a little faster. When he was safely up back of a sand dune he stopped to listen. At first he heard no-sound. Then he heard that barking again far away. Reddy crept back fo the top of the sand dume. You should have seen how erafty he was. As he zot near the edge he flattened himself right down on the sand and crawled. He crawled until he was right behind a little bunch of coarse, stiff grass growing on the very edge of the sand dune. He peeped between the blades of grass. It was bright moonlight. He could see almost as well as if it | I'a love to be = traffic cop And tell the world to 5 or stop, Ore‘;n an office boy’s mettle and our character. shuttle Is sorted and selected with true thought. This care about the little things should not be confused with introspec- tion. This is often disastrous. It tends to be destructive instead of construc- tive. Life is constructive. Each day and heur, yves, and more than that, each minute and secord, we are mak- ing our lives, weaving and interweav- ing thoughts and acts, which are the outcome of thoughts. Tt is when we look back upon what we have done and begin to appreciate that we might have done it better that introspection gets in its mischievous work. Making Little Things Count. 1f by reviewing the day or the year or any period we can see mistakes and realize that we could have done better and will not fall into thé same error again, the introspection takes on a constructive element. Then it is help- ful. We should continually be learn- ing better methods and finer ways of weaving threads of life. Wife's Part. No one appreciates the importance of little things, which we are con- sidering as the threads of life, more fully than a wife and mother. She vealizes to the full, if she is a fine woman, that the essence of happiness lies in them. Great moments come of sorrow or joy, and strength to bear the burden is found or wonder- ful avenues to express the happiness are discerned. But even in these the little things stand out with vividness. They stamp themselves oftentimes in singularly clear patterns. Matter of Lifetime. But the days of our lives are chiefly made up of small happenings, little incidents, things that appear insignifi- can’t at the moment. It is only in later, times that we fully appreciate that minor things were major ones, just as we frequently notice that what we thought was a big event proved of small significance. One charming woman confided to me once that her whole life had been enriched by such a seemingly trivial matter as a game of croquet. She was only a young girl, then, but in the after years of her life, she could think of few things that had been of greater importance. She was “a good sport,” and when she and her partner in the game were losing, she sefused to consider failure, but with a laugh and a bit of banter, and some good planning on how to handle the game to the finish they won. Her partner sald she won his heart then and there by the way she took things as well as by the way she won out, and he soon took her for his partner for life. Other Points. A little thing? Yes! But is it not in the little things that we show our Children, when they are up-grown, often recall little events of their childhood days, showing how they were influenced through all the later years by some little incident and the way the father or mother acted then. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS were daylight. No dog was following him. He looked back toward those rocks. No dog was there. Such a funny, funny look as came over the face of Reddy Fox. It came to him just then that no. dog could have been barking behind him when he was way down there at the edge of the water, for no dog could come by way of the water. Slowly Reddy got te his feet and stared back at those rocks. His black ears were cocked forward. There it was again —the bark! And it came from out in the water. At least, Reddy was sure it did. Slowly, taking a step and stopping, THEN - REDDY’'S SHARP EYES CAUGHT SIGHT OF SOMETHING MOVING ON A GREAT- ROCK OUT IN THE WATER. taking another step and stopping again, Reddy moved back. He was nervous. He was all ready to run at the slightest hint of danger. At last he wds at almost the very edge of the water, The barking- st{ll' came from out beyond. Then -Reddy’s sharp eyes caught sight of something moving on a great rock out in the water. His first thought was that somehow a dog must be out there. Then, as the méonlight fell full on that rock, Reddy saw that it wasn't a dog at all. Tt was smooth-bodied and it looked sleek in the moonlight. Reddy could see no legs. The head was round. It made him think some- what of the head of Little Joe Otter, only this stranger was yvery much bigger. Once more he heard that bark and this time he saw the stranger open his mouth. He knew then who it was that had fooled him. At least, he knew it was this stranger who had fooled him. The stranger flopped clumsily across the rock and sud- denly slipped into the water. Reddy saw that round head moving swiftly above the surface of the water. Then it disappeared. “Well,” said Reddy, “I should like to_know who that was.” i Have you guessed who it was? It was Barker the Seal, orie of the sea folk. (Covyrizht. 1926.)

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are exceptlonally favorable, although they indicate greater success along social iines of endeavor than in commercial or professional effort. There will be sensed a feeling of elation and good humor, which, of course, must react favorably in any gathering of friends. It is an auspiclous occasion for the followers of Hymen, and the signs very definitely presage happiness and success of an enduring nature for those that become life partners. In the evening the aspects will improve and engender stimulating and emo- tional vibrations, with a sense of xe- sponsiveness that cannot fail to ob- literate all traces of jealously, ill- feeling and irritation. Children born tomorrow will during infancy suffer from many ailments of more or less gravity. The ease with which they will outgrow these weak nesses wili depend more than on any- thing else on the character and method of their alimentation. Once the infantile period is successfully bridged, they promise to “flourish like the green bay tree.” Their disposi tions will be tractable, and they will have an inborn desire to please and to satisfy. They will at all times be amenable to affection and persuasion. They will be studious, although not gifted with any abnormal degree of intellectuality. They may not, and probably will not, attain marked ma- terial success, but they will be happy and make others happy. If tomorrow is your birthday anni- versary, you possess a mind that is keen, incisive and active. You are easily cast down, but only for brief spells, for your inherent optimism and mental resiliency are soon restored and you feel yourself riding once more on the crest of the wave. You hdve boundless energy, and If it were always well directed, this in itself would place you in a class by fyour- self. Your disposition when working under a strain leaves much to be de- sired, and you easily become petulant and exacting. When free from the worries and care of work you are winsome, kind and sympathetic and always anxious to make amends for any trouble you might have caused at less propitious moments. Your ten- dencies are toward. culture and all that is beautiful, for, although you are practical, you possess an artistic temperament. You are very fond of children and devoted to your home, in which you find contentment and har- mony. ‘Well known persons born on that date are Azram 5.

Many expressions of the eye cannot be described, yet are readily under- stood by us once we see them. Per- sonal magnetism is one of the things that we cannot transmit by words. A brilliant orator can create a pro- found impression upon his audience by the expression of the eye, vet all | this is lost in reading his speech. Many of its expressions cannot be re- produced. The best study of the eye must be made in the living subject. Still, there are expressions that-€an be described and their meanings under- stood. In studying the eye for signs of character, nine things must be taken into consideration. They are the form, size, color, degree of brightness, shape of the fleshy opening caused by the parting of the upper and lower lids, the effect produced by the opening and closing, and nearness to the nose, the manner in which the eye rests in the socket and its inclination forward or backward and the general expres- sion. The convex eye is that form which bulges or seems to be pushed well out from the socket. This large, round, fiery eye is capable of deep expression of love and emotion. The most ar- dent lovers have round, highly colored, convex eyes. [ SCOH e Vg, TR Green Apple Pie.

Tt is not a broken heart but in- You are shedding tears over the dream that every woman dreams and from which every woman wakes up with a shock of surprise. For every woman believes that she is getting a husband who will be a perpetual sweetie, a financial wizard and who will be as dough in her hands. Then when she finds out that instead of having a man who s an aggregation of all masculine charms and virtues she appears to have drawn a husband who seems to her to monopolize most of the faults of his sex, a man who is dumb at love-making and not much of a money-getter, who is as irritable as the fretful porcupine and as stubborn as a mule, why then she begins to think tenderly of the man she didn’t marry and she is very apt to crown the head of her former sweetheart with a halo. . So .. SHE goes on an orgy of self-pity, and spends hours of morbid pleasure in digging up her dead love out of its grave and holding an autopsy over it, and thinking how happy she would have been if she had married the man she didn’t marry and whom she pictures as a perfect being with none of the faults that affict the man she did marry. She lets her mind dwell on this picture of her former sweetheart until she persuades herself that she has a deathless passion for him and that by failing to marry him she has wrecked her life. It would save these ladies, who are pining away with a green and yellow melancholy, barrels of tears if they could only reaiize that their secret grief is a purely imaginary one and that it is rooted in the curious impulse we all have to extol the past at the expense of the present. It is what makes us glorify the Good Old Times and sentimentalize over childhood’s happy days, and idealize our youthful chums, and pine to go back and live in the old home. All of which is rank nonsense. Most of us are better off now than we ever were before. Childhood isn't the happiest time of life, because then we haven't learned philosophy enough not to let things hurt us. ‘When we go back to the old home we find it a tumble-down cottage instead of the palace of our memories, and that the boys and girls whom we remembered as so beautiful and so brilliant are plain, homely, dull, commonplace men and women. No cure could be so effectual for these women who are breaking their hearts in vain repinings for their lost loves as just to see their former sweethearts again. Ten to one they wouldn't have them on a bet, for there is no more disillusioning experience than to find the man you have remem- bered as slim and young, with ambrosial curls and bubbling over with ro- mance changed into a fat, heavy, baldheaded gentleman whose only. topics of conversation are his business and his golf, and who is fussy about his food and sitting in drafts. .. . .

Extracts from his mother’s letter: “Our lttle son (or rather our tall, slendér son) is 13 years old. He is a healthy specimen now, though he was a dellcate-appearing baby, and I've always been particular about his food and his rest, but I've never bothered about drafts or wet feet or heavy clothing. Nice, motherly neighbors have always predicted that he would ‘catch his death o' cold’ He never has had but one attack of coryza and two sore throats, measles mildly, and mumps. He has always played out- doors in all sorts of weather, and we've camped out in really cold weather and in pouring rains, as we are motor camping fans. Since he was a toddler I've always let him put on his bathing suit and play outdoors in the rain. In zero weather he comes cheerfully down the street with his coat opened and his cap stuffed in his pocket. try to make him wear a cap in Wirter, to prove to the neigh- bors that he has one, but he says his head gets hot and he usually carries it in & pocket. In this he emulates his father, who wears his hat in his hand or in the back seat of the car. Once we were ready to start for an after- noon ‘wedding, when father’s hat could not be found. Finally he remembered he wore it to church last. We tele- phoned the janitor, who said the hat was in our pew and had been there twa or three weeks. “In bad weather the boy's feet are always wet, for he likes to splash through the puddles as most boys do. At night he takes a warm bath, gets into pajamas, bath robe and slippers, and after supper is ready for bed. “His bed time was 6:30 until he was 9, then a little later until now, at 13, it is 8 o'clock. He wakes at 7, does. the radio exercises with his father, takes a quick shower or dip, and is ready for the day. “He ate no meat until a year ago. but now takes it about twice a weel He eats lots of frult and vegetables, whatever is obtainable fresh; drinks great quantities of water, and from a quart to three pints of milk daily. whipped cream.

Does Not Need Lime Water. Mrs. Blank writes: "My baby will be 10 months old and has very narrow shoulders and small bones. The last time I weighed him he was 8 months old and weighed 17 pounds and 9% ounces. “I gave him 28 ounces of milk, with some water, and 5 tablespoonfuls of malt sugar. He had a little vegetable soup in the afternoon. “The last two weeks he cut his first tooth. Now I give him 8 ounces of whole milk, no water or sugar, with 3 tablespoonfuls of farina night and morning. He also gets one-half of the yolk of an egg three times a week and ripe-tomato juice or orange juice three times a week. “He seems to be late in teething. Should I put lime water in his milk? Should I give him cod liver oil this hot weather? For the last four weeks he has walked around his play pen. He did not drink orange juice, but he will take the whole orange. In that way he gets the pulp too. How can I get him to eat vegetables with- out forcing him?" Answer.—It would he very wise pro- cedure to weigh the baby at least once in every two weeks and thus be sure of his gain and not wonder if he is too small for his age. His welght at 8 months was fairly nor- mal and his diet now is all right, though he can take the vegetable soup every day and the fruit juices every day. 5 Lime water will not help to make teeth. I say this often; it should be taking root soon. Inorganic lime, that type found in- lime water, has no power to furnish lime to the human system. It is just an anti-acid agent, similar in action to bicarbonate of soda. Organic lime is found in milk, green vegetabies, whole grain cereal foods, etc. The baby must have vegetables, milk in abundance and cereals and fruits in order to get his supply of lime. The use of cod liver ofl is al- ways indicated when bables are slow in physical development and in teeth- ing. In addition to containing valu- able minerals and vitamins, cod liver oil seems to have the property of helping the body to use the lime and phosphorus present in the other foods. No child of 10 months should be able to dictate about whether he will or won't eat vegetables. Give the baby a spoonful of sieved vegetables and expect him to eat it. If all ordinary methods fail one has no recourse but to force the food, since it is so es- sential to the child’s welfare. Insist on the orange juice; he is too young for the pulp. HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. That Word “Silly.” In our word “silly,” which we use today for simple, shallow, foolish, wit- less, we have a good example of the story there is in words. For, accord- ing to its derivation, sllly means good. blessed, and it is merely through the shading and molding of popular usage that it has acquired its present significance. “Silly” comes to us from the Anglo- Saxon “saelig,” meaning happy, good, blessed. So it is a first cousin to the German “selig,” meaning blescsed or sacred. The first step in the degenera- tion of the word was its use for harm- less, innocent, inoffensive, as Chaucer used it in “This silly, innocent Cus- tance.” From this came its implica- tion of helpless, frail, even weak, whence came the significance of weak in mind. And so, from fits original meaning of good and blessed, we have our modern “silly.” Fanoy Cold Slaw. Save the vinegar from your pickled beets for coloring cold slaw.

Do you belleve fn an expurgated Bible? Answer—If by expurgated Bible you mean the omission of words and phrases written with the intentfon of pandering to a morbid taste, my an- swer is in the negative. There are no mich elements in the Bible. But if you mean that in certain passages it would be better to have a paraphrase or rendering more suitable to the re- finements of modern days I agree. As a matter of fact, the transiators of King James’ version did introducs cir- cumlocutions; but even so, their free- dom of utterance was greater than ours. I do not attach the same degree of importance to this matter which some people do. Huxley was an agnostic, and when advocating Bible reading in schools 1 do not remember any de- mand on his part for an expurgated version. Yet he was the kind of man who would not put up with the mor- ally harmful. Still, the advocates of revision have a good deal of logic on their side. London, England. ‘What do you think of the philos- ophy of the theosophists? Is Dr. Annie Besant a “safe” teacher, especially in her recent Queen's Hall (London) pronouncement of the Hindu Krishnamurt! as another “Christ"? Answer — Theosophy, as an at- tempted explanation of the mysteries of the universe, is entitled to consid. erable respect. It is an intellectual achievement of some magnitude and professes to be the outcome of re- searches carried on from the dawn of civilization. For myself, I believe in religion, whereas theosophy is a science. It moreover, a form of pessimism which 1s not likely to make a strong appeal to the American people. Its great en- deavor 18 to show human beings how to escape from existence by reducing the number of their reincarnations. This is Asia at its very core. Yet, as a philosophy, theosophy has gravity and dignity, and also a sphere for practical and humane service which give it a place of its own. ‘The fact that Mrs. Besant's pro- tege, Krishnamurti, has been refused by scores of theosophists, threatening a schism in the whole body, would appear to suggest that she is not re- garded as a “safe” teacher by her own party. As a popular exponent of theosophic doctrines I believe she is unexcelled, although Walter Old's “What Is Theosophy” is a model of exposition. As for Krishnamurti, T will only say that there can be no new Christ. We cannot even get a new Shake- speare. ? Knoxville, Tenn. 1 know a man who is an angel in the home ang a fiend in the office.
