She her friends thoroughly and them feel uneusy while they're with her. She has an exaggerated sense of her own importance. She imagines herself to be the center and circum- ference of the universe. Yet she's not concelted; only frightfully absorbed in herself. Her egotism takes an unpleasant form. The most harmless remark of a gen- eral nature makes Polly prick up her ears. “Mary's had her bedroom all done over,” Clara s telling Sue. “It doesn't look half as nice as it used to. She’s got rose curtains up now and they look awfully bad with that pur- ple bed cover—much too loud and nofsy.” * Poll y isn't interested in the fact that Mary's bedroom is not a success this season. Nothing interests her particularly but the fact that she de- tects, in this casual comment, a di- rect knock at her taste. “Oh, you don't llke purple and rose, Clara?”’ she asks sweetly. “I guess that's why vou didn't admire the cushion 1 gave you for your birthday.” “Oh, for heaven's sake, Poll some exasperation from Clara. ‘“Who sald anything about my not liking purple and rose cushions? I simply said that rose hangings and a purple | spread was too much.” Polly relapses into_silence—but a triumphant silence. She has caught her friend, and she feels fairly come placent about it. It is impossible to have an intelll- gent discussion with Polly about any- thing. She will talk calmly for a few minutes with you, and then suddenly, at some harmless remark which was simply intended to fllustrate a re- mark, she will switch the conversa- tion onto herself. Douglas was discussing a friend of his mother's—a very lovely, older woman. “She is beautiful” he ex. claimed _enthusiastically. “Wears wonderful clothes and looks so sort of distinguished. Her hair is stunning— all sort of waved and soft lookin; She wears it low on her neck—it's the most beautiful hair I've ever seen.” “But Douglas,” Polly is aggrieved. “You told me when I had mine bobbed you didn't think long hair could ever be as stunning as bobbed hair. Don't you like short hair any more?” Can_you blame Douglas if he ground his teeth and yearned for a nice, large missile to throw at his Poll She created an atmosphere of un- ness and unrest about her.

Since love cannot be commanded, should a man and wife who have ceased to love one another and be- tween whom there is an ever-widen- ing gulf continue to live together for the sake of the young children whom both love? Answer—Yes, so long as they show their respect for each other and do not turn thelr children’s home into a den of wrangling and strife. Brooklyn, N. Y. We hear so much of the feminist movement, woman's emancipation, the efficiency of woman in business and their replacement of men that I am tempted to ask you what is the appli- cation of I Timothy, 11.12. “But I suffer not a woman to teach mnor usurp authority over the man.” What have you got to say? Answer—The writer of these words lived in a society dominated by the masculine element. Woman then had few if any rights which man needed to respect. The ferment of the Christian religion worked very rapid- ly at that time in the great citles of the Greco-Roman empire. One of its results was a new sense of free- dom’ in belleving women, especially at Corinth, the most cosmopolitan center of the emplre. The leaders of the Corinthlan Church had to proceed cautlously in applylng St. Paul's revolutionizing principle that “in Christ there is no male or female,” because of the lax views about woman’s honor which then prevalled among Jews and Gen- tiles alike. For a side light on the passage you quote read what the New Testament sas about such women as the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene, also of the work of Priscllla, Mary, Try- phaena, Tryphosa and Persis, all of whom were prominently identified with the infant church in Rome. If Priscilla could teach even the elo- really was, surely this shows that she successfully defled the rule vou quote. Kansas City, Mo. Would you call an educated person a cultured person? And does it necessarily follow that those who have acquired considerable knowledge are trustworthy interpreters and guldes of life. Answer—An educated person is not necessarily a cultured person, nor are those who have been well trained in the liberal arts and MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Potted Plants for Gifts.

Consult the lists of .prophets, priests and kings of any period and you will discover that although they could not have culture without a measure of education, not a few of them did have education, with or without cul- ture. One of the most genlal, humane and wholesome characters I ever knew was a farmer of Dutchess County, New York State. His scho- | lastic advantages had been scanty | enough. But his vivid imagination, his keen perception of truth, his fine | sense of beauty and his capacity for clear and balanced statement kindled my warm admiration. Such men and women are all too rare, but they are far more numerous than some intellectuals concede. Nor do they have to be experts in a_par- ticular art or sclence to be either educated or cultured. Culture consists in what one is rather than in what one knows. It breathes a graclous and elevating temper into_the most commonplace pursults. When accompanied by great learning, it often produces the master spirits of the day. My farmer friend was a truly cultured man and all in his locality recognized him as such. New York City. Did God actually command Abra- ham to offer up Isaac? This inci- dent has bothered me more than any other recorded in the Old Testament. Please explain it. Answer—It did not bother Abra- ham's generation. He lived in a prim- itive -age, when the offering of hu- man sacrifices was common, especial- ly in periods of disaster. Even the enlightened Greeks believed such sac- rifices to be “good medicine” for bad times, So in the Hebrew scriptures the King of Moab offered his eldest son as a sacrifice, and Jephthah is said | to have done the same with his daughter. The classic tale of Iphigenia is well known to scholars. She was brought to the altar by her father to be sacrificed, but mysterious- ly disappeared, and a hind lay there in her stead. [Fraser's work, “The Golden Bough,” discusses this and other anclent religious practices, and I have referred to them in my book on_“Imagination and Religion.” The main purport of the instance which perplexes vou was to demon- strate the necessity of unquestioning obedience to the Divine Will. As the sequel shows, God did not desire human sacrifice. But he demanded unwavering confidence in Himself from a leader appointed to elevate the religlon of lsrael above the bar- baric levels of surrounding cults. As vou suggest in your letter, there are symbolic elements in the story, but these do not exclude the idea that it has a historical nucleus. (Copyright, 1926.)

A Courageous Nose. - As character molds the nose, you cannot expec? to find a strong, vigor- ous person with a soft, fatty nose, no more than vou will ever see a long, thin, delicate nose on a coarse, burly individual. In other words, the nose deplcts character, disposition and men- tality. It's certain that you have never seen an athlete with a flabby nose—and you never will. There is a reason for this fact. The nose s com- posed of bone, tissue and cartilage. Helght of the nose indicate ideals; breadth announces comprehensiv ness: length gives cautlon, far-sighted- ness and sagacity. Thus, the three di- mensions of height, breadth and length when combined in the nose in a large measure and with good quality, be- speaks to the world of a powerful, positive character. The nose of an athlete is bony; it is firm, well modeled and rounded more than square. It is composed for the the others. Coupled with these there will be large distended nostrils, which are signs of a powerful heart and lungs. This form of nose is found on | . Color. . Vehicles. . Flat surface. . Corrode. 15.
