■f AS I GO ON MY WAY ♦
i*'+ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦<>
My life shall touch a dozen before
this day Is done—
Leave countless marks for good or
ill ere sets this evening’s sun.
Shall fair or foul its imprint prove,
on those my life shall hail?
Shall benison my impress be, or shall
a blight prevail?
When to the last great reckoning the
lives I meet must go.
Shall this wee, fleeting touch of mine
have added joy or woe?
Shall He who looks their records o’er
—of name and time and place—
Say: “Here a blessed influence
came,” or “Here is evil’s trace ”
From out each point of conflict of my
life with other lives
Flows ever that which helps the one
who for the summit strives,
The troubled souls encountered —does
it sweeten with its touch,
Or does it more embitter those embit
tered overmuch?
Does love through every handclasp
flow in sympathy’s caress?
Do those that I have greeted know a
newborn hopefulness?
Are tolerance and charity the keynote
of my song
As I go plodding onward with earth’s
eager, anxious throng?
My life must touch a million lives in
some way ere I go
From this dear world of struggle to
the land I do not know
So this the wish I always wish, the
prayer I ever pray:
Let my life help the other lives it
touches by the-way!

Journal.

BRITISH ARE NOW |
IN PROMISE LAND
WITH THE BRITISH FORCES IN
PALESTINE, April 28.—After twelve 1
months of incessant toil in the Sinai
desert, sometimes fighting hard, al
ways rigging, making military works, 1
building railways, constructing pipe
lines and roads, and forever march
ing over the inhospitable wastes, the
British troops have at last come into
the Promised Land, says the story of
the British official eye-witness with
the expedition.
What a marvelous change of scene!
Behind them is a hundred miles and
more of monotonous sand, blazing and
shining under a torrid sun, with
here and there a group of palms to
relieve the sameness of the desert.
Behind them, too. is the intolerable
glare of the noonday sun, which is
never softened except when the
khamseon lifts the dust and forms a
screen through which the sun ap -
pears as during an eclipse. But the
sandstorm is a worse torment than
the penetrating rays, for it brings
additional heavy labor to men with
parched throats and scorched skins.
The British troops in the desert
column are now free from these try
ing conditions. They are in Pales
tine. Before then, as far as the eye
can reach ,is unfolded a picture of
transcending beauty. When the
troops from the desert come up over
the ridge to Rafa and look out over
the billowy downs, they invariably
break into rounds of cheers.
Before and around them everything
is green and fresh with the green
ness and freshness of springtime. Big
patches of barley, for which the plain
south of Gaza is famous, shine like
emeralds, and the immense tracts of
pasture are as bright and warm as
the rolling downs of Berkshire. There
is an abundance of gorgeous flowers
lighting up the vivid greenness of
the plain as if in welcome to the on
coming army. The effect of this scene
on troops who have become desert
veterans can better be inauguerated
than described.
Beyond Rafa, reconnaissance par
ties may see the righ minaret of Gaza
above the dark framework of trees en- ]
closing the town. The mosque was
formerly a Christian church built by,
the Knights Templar in the twelfty'
century when the Crusades fortified
themselves within Gaza’s walls.
Away on the right, beyond the I
right, beyond the abandoned Turkish j
stronghold of Wah Sheik Narun is
Beersheba, tucked in the plain be
neath the southern end of the hills of
Judea.
The first town of the promised
land entered by the British troops
was Khan Yunas, a not unlovely col
lection of houses amid wonderfully:
fertile gardens hedged around by im
penetrable walls of tango
ctems two feet in circumference.
From a distance the green foliage of
orchards and gardens provided a de
lightful foil to the sand runes which
hid the view of the Mediterranean’s
blue waters. Khen Yunus is a mere
shadow of its former self. It has a
mean bazaar, and there are ruins of a
once sumptuous palace.

Margaret Writes of The Furs
For the Folks Who Wear Them
BY MARGARET MASON.
You can’t escape a cape, my dear
1 This summer you must wear
The pelt of some four footed beast
I When you do take the air
1 And hide your shapely shoulders
I ’neath
( Some creatures hide and hair.
NEW YORK, April 28—You have to
go fur to see the Cape of Good Hope
j but you don’t have to go fur to see the
1 cape of good style although it’s fur all
right. It may be gopher too at that
but the chances are its kolinsky or
ermine or mink or sable or mole or
Hudson seal. All the really smart fur
capes are made up of one or a combi
nation of two of these six soft silky
skins selected suitable sartorially for
( summertime showing.
As one little sable pelt is a big hit
you may be sure a full ripply cape of
sable is some knockout. Such a one
1 galling to the waist line in front and
running to a deep point below the
waist in back has a broad collar of
imspotted ermine fastening in a low
V shaped front.
Another one of mink with a shawl
collar of ermine has fietted front and a
full deep ripple back for all the world
like an old-fashioned dolman. Little
short shoulder caipes of Hudson seal or
mole are quaint and charming and a
graceful wrap is one of chiffon thrice
banded, once at neck, midway and again
around the edge with kolinsky.
Oh where are the white foxes of
j yesterday. Last summer the fox
iest of summer furs was white fox.
This summer some are fox but most
are not. To be sure foxes, red, white
or silver are not to be shrugged off
too disdanfully by summer shoulders
but they are seldom seen in com
parison with their last seasons omni
presence and the fur cape really is

the thing.
Long flat broad stoles of the seal,
mole and ermine are the greatest hiv
als of the cape for favor with the
summer girls and the cape may yet
rue the day that a stole stole its first
place in Miss Summer's wardrobe
and affections. The ermine stoles
are almost always finished on the
ends with a row of the tiny tails and
indeed on both the capes and stoles
ot the other furs the tail trimming is
very often used. Indeed these oft
repeated tails are an old story but
always good.
Os all the summer furs ermine best
lends itself from an artistic and ad
aptable standpoint to summer toil
ettes. It sets off a frock of silk Geor
gette crepe or a lingerie gown with
equal perfection and has a more light
and fluffy effect and a less heatful ap
pearance than the other furs. In an
ermine cape you may be at white heat
when it is two hundred in the shade
but you’ll never look it.
As a dress trimming as well as a
wrap ermine is a most effective sum
mertime fur and a white Georgette
frock banded in it is white of per
fection. A white organdie gown with
a band on of ermine must needs be
greeted also with joy and abandon as
the summit sartorial art.
As a compromise with going to fur
this summer maribou is again putting
forth its fine feathers in wide bands
around the neck, sleeves and full
skirts of charmeuse coats in the
same manner that the wide mands of
fur were used on the fur coats this
last winter. After all perhaps it
were safer to stick to maribou if
we want to be sure what we are wear
ing. When it is marked down we
know it is down but no matter what
mark on fur we feel we are the mark
if we buy it. Whep you are simply
dying to buy a mink collarette the
furrier is probably simply dyeing a
pussy cat to sell it to you. Indeed
the fur trade is a double skin of
both you and some other poor ani
mal. Perhaps its just as well you
can’t split hairs too finely in the fur
buying for it is so much more com
fortable not to know that the ermine
hair you think you arc wearing is
just plain hare.

ods of Health administration in Eng
land.
The responsibility for public health,
he says, is at present divided among a
bewildering variety of government de
partments and local bodies. “Health
is, in fact, ecerygody’s business in
some particular aspect, and nobody’s
business as a general problem. Con
sequently. progress is fragmentary
and haphazard, and there is no steady
momentum or development such as a
definite Ministry of Health would
supply. Scandalous delays have oc
curred in dealing with problems of
admitted urgency.”
He criticizes also the provisions In
England for securing Industrial health
among factory workers. The “exper
imental science of industrial fatigue,”
!he says, Is far less appreciated In
, English factories than in those of
America and Germany.
