G gD — Must Have Attention, By CHARLES H. PARKHURST. What can be done to a boy in order to make & man of him and to a girl in order to make of her a woman? That is the most serious question that we have face, for every- & depends on )the quality of the breed. It confronts the parents in the home and the teachers In the school, the superin- tendent of schools, the Board of Edu- catfon and the state commissioner of education. Does the charac- ter of the product warrant the belief thit those to whom thé problem is com- mitted have any adequate sense of its supreme impor tance, and that it depends mostly upon them to determine | what the soclal, moral ang political con- dition of the state and the country shall be during the coming half century? I doubt it. The evidence of it is not appar- ent, This is a subject needing emphatic treatment, for there is nothing which so lifts the tone of one's efforts as to real- ize the serfousness of the results to which’ such efforts are designed to con- tribute..

Remain True Gold. | By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Said the cynio to me: “‘Women aren't anything like what they used to be when my mother was a girl. |They aren't sweet and womanly any more. They seem to be about half-way between men and thelr old selves. And I don't Uke ‘em." 8ald 1 to the eynic: | “My dear man, if women today hadn't moved ahead wtih the world in the forty years since your mother was a girl, life jwould be a very difficult thing for the man of today who {sn't anything like the youth your father was when he was a boy!" The woman of today is & product of our time. She is a little restiess and un- cortain of herself, but so is the world in which she lives. Our mothers were compelled to do all the odd jobs which factories and can- {nerfes and various manufacturing con- cerns have taken out of her hands today. The spinning and weaving, and baking {pled the woman of olden times are taken care of on a large scale today by ef- |flelent and almost humanly intelligent machines.

LA WH By E ELER WILOOX, Do you ever study the faces in public conveyances—trolleys, stages, trains, omnibuses? It s Interesting and instructive. Bach face 1s a dlary of the thoughts, am- bitions, habits and diet of an indi- vidua! And how few at- tractive faces are found after the owners have passed 0, 0 or W at lat- st Not one iIn 10, That is be- cause so few peo- ple think, hope, live and eat on a proper and whole- some basis. Wrong methods no not betray themselves often until after early youth passes, Youth s a beauty mask which life lends to each of us at birth. At 30 we are obliged to return it to its owner and walk forth with the face of our own making. The mouths of children almost invar~ fably turn up at the corners. Occasionally the mouth of a young girl Or youth keeps this fascinating dart. It is rarely found on the middle-aged. Not because time causes a change—time is powerless to do more than make na- ture what God has bestowed. It is the work of our minds, this transformation of features at middie age. It is the drooping, desponderit thought which curves the mouth down -at t(he corners, not the flight of time, Were I a man, I should study well the shape of the mouth before I asked fts kiss at the altar. I should wed the up- curled mouth, and then I should make it the business of my life to. keep Its cornera ourled upward afterward, It is a curious and overwhelming thing, this study of faces. I looked at & man the other day in a public conveyance. Hu was well dressed, middle-aged and busy reading his paper. 1 sald to myself: “You are no doubt a husband and father, on Your way home after business, "I wonder what you represent to that home? Are you & mere money-making machine during the day and s combina- tion of nerves and whims and notions and tempers at home? Do you carry depres- #lon and worry and nervousness into your home, or love, light, mirth and good cheer?'" Then I look at a well groomed, attrac- tive woman hanging on a strap (the man was sitting), and I queried: “What do you represent to the home where you be- long—love, peace, repose, order, kindness, | sympathy and patience, or hysteria, peti« lance, extravagance, frivolity and jeal- ousy? Have you any realisation of all you may do or can mean to your family 'r to the world?” Each humen being is like an engine rushing down lfe's track. It depends upon its driver—the will- whether it goes on its way crushing and | destroying and maiming, and ends In a | ruin, or whether it glides straight and | harmiessly to its goal, a vehicle for good | thoughts, purposes and deeds, After ycu have finished reading this | article, go to your mirror and study your | face, If you have any old photographs taken in earlier days, compare your re- flection with them. Find out what your mind is doing with your features. For it Is not time, trouble or sorrow that is changing you—it {s your own mind. Christ's face s worrowful yet beautiful and illuminated, because He radiated love trom within, Each one of us carries an aurs, a re- flection of our deepest and most perma- nent thoughts. All who come near us feel its influence—for better or for worse, for cheer or despondency. To the very spiritual, the clear-seeing wouls, it is visible, oft-times. Those who cultivate love thoughts and broad sym- pathies and wide charity and high hopes carry an aura of light and radiance and warth which is an inspiration to all ‘who come near them. Do you?
