Boaz was one of the leading citizens in Bethlehem-Judah, & man of high connection. He was a rich planter and owned many acres of barley land around Bethlehem. One afternoon during the harvest season he went out into the field where his reapers were at work. His eye lighted on a young woman gleaning fragments left behind by the reapers, a privilege granted to the poor by the custome of the time. The young woman was a Moabitish girl named Ruth. As our modern slang would express it, Boaz “fell for her” on the spot. And that afternoon, there in e barley field, began a romance which resulted in a happy marriage. Did Boaz, this man of wealth and dis. tinction, make a mistake when he m: ried this poor peasant girl? Perhay it was thought so in the higher social circles of Bethlehem. Yet it was his marriage to the fair and gentle Ruth that made his name immortal. But for his marriage to her we should never have heard of him. All his wealth, all the honors attendant upon his high standing would not have saved him from oblivion. It always creates a bit of a flutter in social circles when a man of wealth marries & poor girl. When such a mar- riage take place we are apt to think that the man has married beneath him- self. But, as in the case of Boaz, in many such marriages the reverse of this turns out to be true. There are inequalities that may be a bar to marriage, but inequality of ‘wealth and social position is not neces- sarily one of them.

RITA. DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX EAR Miss Dix: I personally feel that if before marriage & man and woman had a contract drawn up stating the duties and obligations of each and the rewards and emoluments that each was to receive, there would be more happy marriages. I think it would make women try harder to if they knew beforehand that nothing in the form of alimony would be oming if the marriage was a failure. Could you su such a contract covering everything that the average cou A MAN WHO WANTS TO DO should consider be- RIGHT THING. Answer. T am strongly in favor of the marriage contract. I think it would be a fine thing for every engaged couple to go to some lawyer and have a bind- ing agreement drawn up, setting forth in due legal form, with all of the party of the first part and party of the second part, what each demanded of the other and what each covenanted and agreed to give the other as his or her due in marriage. It would visualize for them something that they lose sight of, and that is that marriage is a business partnership. with definite obligations.

The volunteering is supposed to be at present averaging 2,000 men & day. The order of the President makes a credit or deduction of so many as may have been enlisted or drafted prior to March 1st, at which time the $400 premium expires. With these plans carried out, the total of the Army will be half a million men. Capt. Scheetz's detectives, having received information that a Confed- erate officer had returned to Maryland and was living quietly at his home about four miles from Fort Washington, proceeded to the place designated and arrested the officer. He proved to be First Lieut. Semmes of General Stuart's Confederate Cavalry. He is a cousin of Comdr.

Dear Miss Leeds: My cheeks are be- ginning to sag, and this makes creases from my nose down to the bottom of my chain. What can I do to make the flesh firm? MRS. A. D. Answer.—Give your face the follow- ing treatments daily: Pirst, steam it lightly and then massage gently with the first and second fingers of each hand. Dip these fingers in food cream, such as cocoa butter or tissue cream, and then massage the cheeks with an upward, rotary motion. After the mas- sage wipe off the excess cream and cover the face with a mask or clean absorbent cotton saturated with a mild This | astringent lotion. Witch hazel may be used for this. Lie down with eyes ‘he | closed and cover your face with the wet cotton, leaving only lips and nos- trils exposed. During this treatment lie with the head lower than the rest of the body and relax thoroughly. After about 15 minutes remove the cotton. If the treatment is taken during the day, apply powder base and powder afterward. If at night, let the astrin- gent dry and remain on. LOIS LEEDS. Superfluous Hair. Dear Miss Leeds: Some time ago I used a depilatory to remove the hairs on my face. It left my skin red and sort of drawn and wrinkled. =Tell me, is there anything that will peel off this top skin or remove this appearance? L.D. Answer—Removing the top skin would not help you any, but would only delay the return to a normal condition. Until your skin is improved use cold cream for cleansing rather than warm water and soap. 1so spread a thin film of cold cream over your face be- fore applying ler. At night, after Yleuulnx the face, apply the following otion and leave it on' overnight: To six tablespoontuls of olive ofl add one tablespoonful of almond ofl and one nful of tincture of benzoin.

Dissolve the bori¢ acid in the rosewater, add the sulphate of zinc to the elderflower, mix both to- gether. Shake well before using each time. Wash the lotion off in the morning.

Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Seat of Consciousness. Psychologists talk much about “brain localization.” By brain localization they mean that different regions of the brain are given over to different duties or functier;‘n. You have a psychological something which in everyday language is called consciousness. This consclousness must be a mental function of some sort. So far as any one is able to explain consciousness, it seems to be a psycho- logical ultimate. That is, it exists in its own right and defies all attempts to pry into its right to be, ‘There are a few psychologists today who f 50 far as to say that conscious- ness is a sort of myth., I can't under- stand them. However all this may be, consciousness is a fact. If you know anything at all, you know that you are you, and that everything outside of you is something else—a non-you, we shall say, just to make rough distinctions, Suppose now we attempt to locate the fact of consciousness. Where does it belong in the scheme of brain localiza- tien? Everything points to the front of the head, to that portion of the brain that the anatomists call the frontal lobes. ‘The reason for this sort of reason- ing seems to run somewhat as follows: creatures who act as if they know what they are and who they are from moment to moment, day to day, year to year, have prominent frontai lol If anatomical structure alone is not enough you can look at the problem this way: You can say that con- sciousness 1is continuous generaliza- tion of ‘sensory experience. The per- son whose sensory endowments are keen is more aware of what is going on than the one whose sensory en- dowments are weak or disabled. Just to put it all in one sentence, you may say that the keener one is the more conscious one is. ‘This comparison takes you right back to what goes for intelligence.

WINTERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. Summer incarnate is the war ery of the jay in sunny orchards, and yet the bluejay is a Winter bird. He braves it out, like a soldier, like a wary general, marching and countermarching with the blizzards rather than actually and completely migrating to tropic lands. Most of the individual jays do go south- ward. Some of them appear ever on the point of leaving because they fiit excitedly in Wintry her. These have stayed, hiding utp in a convenient tree shelter during ferocious weather, sallying forth in search of food in the deceptive days of thaw. Around the wet Virginia woods, dur- ing times of thaw, I have heard not only the bluejay’s war cry, the harsh jay- Jjay note, but also that other, that ro- mantic and indescribable note that sounds like “a-rink-a-rill,” yet infinitely liquid and content. Strangely, it brought back the odor of sunburned grass in June. There is nothing on earth for recalling a scene of long ago like a bird call, except perhaps an odor. ‘The real charm of bird study consists for me in discovering the racial indi- viduality of different species. The pleasure to be found in a setter is his setterishness, in a fox hound his fox houndishness. For personal individuality the jay has scarce a feathered equal. His faults are quite another matter. He is cross, thievish, greedy and an un- abashed fighter of other birds, even a murderer of their young. Nuttall, that genial old naturalist, says that in the presence of the king bird he is a cow- ard and that he has a particular an- tipathy for the owl. But cowardly and thieving thou?h he be, he makes a brave splash of color through these dark and snowy days, and his rattling cry is music in an atmosphere where are only chilly twitterings. — e plants in their attractive containers which radiate from this central fern. A great reason why plants lend so gracious a touch of decoration to rooms their assoclation with pleasant days in which the sun shone. This welcome note in the decoration is enjoyed by those who visit the house as well the homemaker, for plants recall to them occasions and never-to-be-forgot- ten memories.
