It 18 the absorbing feature of the moment. But this does not mean that no good thing remains for which to be thankful. It merely signifies that for the time being the good things form the back- ground for the hard and difficult ones. The things to be thankful for have to be brought to mind. ‘When the outstanding feature of the lives of a community is something good, some hoped-for prosperity realized, that is the absorbing matter, and it is easy to be thankful. The lesser matters, al- though not so fortunate, are swallowed up in the longed-for fulfillment of a genuine necessity. In each instance there is much to rejoice over. It cannot be said that the Puritan | families had e g to their liking and, therefore, had cause to be glad on that first memorable Thanksgiving. But they did have one tremendous thing to rejoice in, and this one thing was enough to make a Thanksgiving festival. ‘Those who are inclined to think they have little over which to be glad should sum up their blessings. Write down on a slip of paper a list of the things you are glad you have, and you will be amazed at its length. Of course, no one person or family can have all things desired. There are things money can buy and these make life easier. But there are also good things money can- not buy that are of inestimable value. They are causes for Thanksgiving, just as much as is money. Without being sentimental, one can be just, and it is not just to let the dark side entirely overshadow the bright side of life. And if there are bright and happy spots, dwell on them for this one day and see if they do not actually make a genuine ‘Thanksgiving day. (Copyright, 1930.)

And yet they have much to be thankful for, ‘They see where others are blind. The world to them is not bounded by the near horizon or by savings banks. Their natures are like ’cellos, profoundly res- onant with gentle and compensating harmonies. They have learned how to live. There- fore they know the art of being thank- ful. Therefore they have much to be thankful for. Some, excessively sentimental, look sourly to the past and find morbid sat- isfaction of a sort in lamentation. Others look wistfully, achingly to the future. Both overlook the present. ‘They might find much to be thank- ful for there, but they do not look. They are not even thankful for the past, and if they neglect the present— the instant of each joy, the awareness of each happiness—how can they, in their confused way of looking upon all things, exg_erft to enjoy the future? ey will not. All their days are self-made frustrations. They have no awareness of joy, of goodness, of plenty. ‘They have not learned the art of being thankful. If you have learned the fine art of being thankful, you have real reason to celebrate today. You have much to be thankful for and will feast doubly on the sense of the goodness of life.

To help her pass the tedious hours my sister sent her a box which was labeled “Ball for Cinderella.” In the big ball of pink yarn were wound all sorts of little things to please a dolly Cinderella.

JESSE W. SPROWLS. Intellectual Heritage. It is often said that the human in- tellect gows so slowly that you can’t notice it. It is pointed out that no change has been noticed in the intelli- gence of men during the last 5,000 years. Some go so far as to say that they csan see no increase in human intelligence during the ‘last 50,000 years., who make the last esti- mate have to search the archives of My |unwritten history. What of it? And why, if all this is true, do we ours the “age of in- telligence”? The explanation is somewhat as fol- lows: All the great intellects of the past have invented one thing after an- other and handed them on to us. In other words, we have inherited, by way of lore, library or machine, the best of the world’s great ideas, so we cannot nfl definitely that this is an age of in- telligence. We can only say that we have fallen heir to an accumulation of enlightenment. Our “enlightened age” gets its light from men who have long since perished from the earth. However all this may be, there's an- other side to the story of intellectual heritage. It appears that we, the bene- ficiaries of the past, have by that token become the guardians of the future. It is up to modern man to control the application of enlightenment—ideas, ™"fna” this 1dea cropping up again lea ping up and again. Several bold writers have argued, for instance, that the machine has the better of us. John Ruskin was one of the first to talk that way, and Sore, has miade” Susgebtions Elong e gore, s ng the same line. Ruskin was an artist; so is . It may be that we are just be- ginning to fall heir to art, which means that new and better uses are still to be foun'd for our heritage of enlighten- ment. (Copyright. 1930.) _Ku'velt Salad.

A her the Man Who Knew Women. “It is strange,” sald the Man Who Knew Women, “that women have such aggerated idea of the im good looks—of beauty of face. In their quest for beauty they often over- look things of much more im) ce.” “What then, do you mean?” I asked “A lovely speaking voice” he an- swered positively. i At first I was inclined to doubt. Being | alon & woman I, t0o, have always exaggerated the value of good looks. But I have come to agree with him. Don't we all Know that men seldom marry a woman for her looks alone? The most beautiful girls I have encoun- tered in offices were often around the bottom of the ladder and were get! w. ot because 'y were beauti- , but because they thought so much about their looks that they did not have time to think of anything else.

They ma not be beautiful in feature, in shape of the nose or curve of the mouth, but people who meet them forget all that, and carry away a memory of their volces. (Copyright, 1990.)
