GARSIDE. a good and safe rule. said | I Ruskin, "to sojourn in every place as if you meant to spend your life there, never omitting an opportunity of doing a kindness, or speaking a true word, or making a friend.” There are many stopping-off places In the course of this journey w* are all engaged in Some are evidently to he of months and years duration. And at some places the stop is so short we con sider it useless to exert ourselves to make friends, or to make a home A greater mistake was never made It la a lack of permanency that often re sults in a lack of character. It is the feeling of "here today and gone tomor row" that gives birth tn all that comes under the head of selfishness, narrow ness and indifference. "What is the use." the one will ask who arrives at a stopping-off place, "of making friends? I may not be here to morrow." It is as important to make friends for tomorrow as to make friends for ten years hence "I have lived many years." I recently heard a. white-haired, gentle-voiced woman say, "and I have made many Investments —some in ambition, some in hatred, some in love and some in material gain. But I have found that the investment that has paid the best of all was that I made in friends.” It Costa Nothing; Pays Well. It is an Investment that requires no expenditure of time or money. Just a little expenditure of thought fulness. a kindness, or a true word, and every stopping-off place, be it ever so brief, is marked by a friend. It becomes no longer a memory of en forced exile among strange, s. it be comes a pleading recollection of a friend. And I would not have you end your gojoum with making friends—which, though the greatest of all. is not all. I would have you make of your abid. Ing place, no matter how temporary, a home. Women who travel much, and who are compelled by circum -tances to know the loneliness of barren rooms in lodg ing houses and hotels, have applied this advice of Ruskin to their material pos sessions They are prepared to soiourn there is if it is to be for life, and carry with them a. pretty picture or two. little odds and ends of draperies, photographs and all the little knick-knacks which will go in one corne. of a trunk, and which make a strange room look like a H< >ME. As quickly as if the traveler waved an enchantress' wand, the look of a temporary abiding place Is gone, and a homelike room takes lts»r.la<-e. Little pains, but big gains, for no on* can do her best when oppressed by th* feeling that everything around is only temporary. Such an atmosphere is conducive to disregard of others, and a too concen trated regard of self If one thinks, "What's the use nf hanging up a picture? There is no one but me to see it," the next thought is. "What's the use of being kind .and po lite and agreeable? 1 won't be here long." Outward Things Help the Heart. The outward evidence of home and permanency result in an inward ambi tion to match it If the eyes get a. homelike feeling, the heart seeks it, also, and finds it in mak ing friends of those who were strangers yesterday, and who may never be seen after tomorrow. There is little counts more in char acter building than this feeling of per manency. The girl who learns her first lesson in the book with the belief that She will go through it to the end has a lesson learned well. The girl who has a position down town and does her work thinking that She may not be there more than a few weeks is controlled by the spirit of in difference. and never does it well. If a girl regards today as the begin ning of many days, she is more careful, more thoughtful and more kindly. She knows that today is the beginning of all time if she gets the idea of perma nency in control. I do not believe that anvthing is a greater test of character than behavior at a atopplng-off place It is easy to be rude and flippant and thoughtless if one. thinks that one moves on tomor row For that reason, one should KN’OW the truth of what Ruskin says, and keep it tn heart and mind, whether th* »tay is for an hour, a week, a month or for life “ 'Tis a good and safe rule." h* wrote, “to soiourn in every place as if you meant to spend your life there, never omitting an opportunity of doing a kindness, or speaking a true word, or making a friend."

Jf I *3 Bl * a &■- I ( / SKBS. ' 9 iWPWWMWk, WHrar Beauty spots, or patches, are like posts that point to some special attraction. By LILLIAN LORRAINE. Isn’t it a strgnge thine that the little black spot which yon paste on your face is a beauty spot, and the little freckle that Nature puts there annoys you so much that you try everything in the world to get rid of It. Beauty spots are coming into fashion- again, that means the court plaster kjnd. of course, but freckles also have their season of popularity, which begins with the first warm day. First, a word about the real beau ty spots. I don't suppose there ever was a girl who didn’t at one time or another paste a little piece of court plaster on her face Just to see how it would look. Those cun ning little spots are certainly fas cinating, and if you pat them on in just the right way, they bring out all the whiteness of a white skin or draw attention to a beautiful eye or a pretty mouth. Beauty spots or patches are like sign posts that point to some espe cial attraction. Os course you must be sure that you have that attrac tion. whether It be handsome eyes, or a well curved lip, because if you don't, the little sign post sticking up there says. 'Look at this eye, that ought to be beautiful and isn't," or "this complexion w hich came out of a box instead of Na ture's laboratory." In France the position of each beauty spot indicates some special sentiment, and there is an entire language of beauty spots just as there is a language of stamps, the stamp indicating, by the way it is placed on the envelope, some secret message from the sender to the re cipient. Where to Place Them. The two best positions in which to place the beauty spots of court plaster are at the outside corner of the eye about an inch down on the cheek bone, or at the side of the chin You want to be very careful where you put this spot, as putting it too close tc the nose makes the eye lo'-kl smaller, and putting it too close to the chin makes the mouth look pinched. However, it is an individual mat ter which you can only decide for yourself after experimenting by putting the patch in different posi tions. The black patch should not be worn to cover eruptions of the skin, or pimples It is much better to let a pimple heal naturally exposed to the air, but if you must put some thing on it, put a small piece of white court plaster, and powder over it very lightly with a perfectly pure rice powder. Now for the spot that's not a beauty spot, and which the sun and wind sprinkles over your face in lit tle hits of brown freckles. There are two kinds of freckles Summer freckles and winter frec kles. The summer freckles can and . should be removed, and a person who is likely to get the deep brown freckles that sta.v on forever, must protect her skin while she is trying to get rid of those freckles she has already acquired, and not get any new ones. It is a bore always to wear a hat and veil, and the girl who freckles lightly can sometimes do without the latter. But the unfor tunate maid who collects ginger snaps. as the boys call them, must be constantly on her guard. In the first place, she should never go out in the glaring sun. without protecting herself by rub bing a good complexion cream into her skin, and dusting this over with powder When she comes in from her outing, if her face feels very sunburned and uncomfortable, she should mix cornstarch and warm milk to the consistency of a thick paste, and spread it over her sun burned features, until the paste be gins to dry. Then wash it off with warm milk. Buttermilk Is Good. If cornstarch and milk are not handy, or the process is too long, bathe your face with buttermilk, patting the buttermilk into the skin and leaving it on for a few minutes. If you have a garden in which cucumbers grow freely, try the cu- I cumber treatment for your freckles. This will also remove ten and To Hide Ignorance The menu of a certain restaurant is a j thing of wonder to strangers.

And the waiter stood silently by his side. At |n-t. in despair, the diner dabbed his finger in the middle of one page, and said : "Bring me some of that." "<’ui, m'sieu." replied the. waiter. "That ees mayonnaise dressing, sar." "I know that, my man." snorted the countryman. "I can read!" "But. m.sieu. '.said the waiter, apolo getically. what will you have it on?” The diner glared. "On a plate f course, you idiot!" he roared "Do you feed y ttr guests in troughs at this restaurant?"

Peel the ripe cu cumbers, leaving quite a good deal of rind on the peel, press the in side of the cucumber through a sieve, and bottle It for use. When you can take the time for it, bind the strips of cucumber peel over your forehead and face, holding them in place with a piece of mus lin. Os course, you put the inside of the peeling next the face. If you leave this on all night, you will see quite an improvement after a couple of days. Use the cucumber juice for wiping the face off with, and apply with pads of cotton bat ting soaked in the cucumber to the freckles just as often as possible. Let it dry on. Fruit juices—lemon, cucumbers and strawberries —are all good for removing freckles. I don’t see how any one can get on without using lemon as a toilet preparation. I use it to whiten the skin, to bleach freckles, soften the cuticle and to cleanse tha nails, for the soles of my feet and often as a tonic in a basin full of water for face wash ing. But if your freckles are even too deep for that, try painting them with a little peroxide. After wash ing your face morning and even ing, apply the peroxide to the frec kles; leave it on until it stings; when this sepsation becomes very painful, wash off and rub on a lit tle cold cream or vaseline. Frequently girls think that they are getting very much tanned or freckled, when, in reality, it is nothing but a disturbance of the liver. They should go on a diet of fresh vegetables and fruit, plenty of Rather Deep There was only one subject they could discuss. It was the coal strike. Amongst the party who were seated round the fire of the smoking room was an old miner. "I remember,” said he, as he puffed at his pipe, "when I was working in Germany, we had eight hours per shift, but the shaft was so deep that it took us four hours to go down and four to come up." "Ahem!” "Tut-tut!" "Dear me!" and similar expressions of disbelief came from the other people in the room. "That's true enough,” retorted the miner. "Well, how did you get your meals, then"" triumphantly demanded some body. The miner was taken aback for a moment. Then he replied nonchalant- "Oh, we used to stop overtime for 1 them?" lemonade, no tea or coffee, and then by using cucumber juice or buttermilk, peroxide or lemon on the freckles and tanned skin, the improvement will be almost imme diate. If you are inclined to freckle, you have to keep right at it, fighting this tendency and preventing the frec kles from coming. Remember that wind will burn your face almost more than the sun, and that a fog gy day, with the sun trying to beat through the mist, is the time to wear a hat with a wide brim and a heavy veil, because that is w’hen the half-hidden sun is painting your face with the spots that are not beautiful.

The Universality of Love By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. {{T T sems to me.” I heard a woman 1 once say, "that to much is made these days of love. It is given more importance than it merits.” Let us consider if she is right. Suppose the world agreed to drop the subject for the next five years, if such a thing were possible, which, thank heaven, it isn't. The theaters would close, for love is the theme of every play. The magazines would suspend publi cation, for the majority of magazine readers are more interested in the loves of Phyllis than in articles on social justice or treatises on railroad rates or in reminiscences of the Brownings. A love story is more than a mental relaxation; it is an inspiration for youth and a happy forgetting for the old. If Love became a forbidden subject, prose writers and poets would have nothing of interest to tell. Every artist would be compelled to abandon his studio and seek employ ment painting tobacco advertisements on billboards. If Love were considered the outlaw this woman deems it, the young might as well be old, for it is Love alone that makes youth worth having. Love the Motive Power. “Love makes the world go 'round.’’ It is all there is of life. Those who have it get out of life its fullest meas ures of joy. Those who fail to get it know as little of living as if they had been mummies from birth. It hafe been the theme of the world’s greatest thinkers. No poet ever con sidered the dignity of his brain to be above the subject of love. If he had entertained such a notion he wouldn't have been a poet. Do You Know That There are sixteen cables across the North Atlantic ocean. . When the sparrowhawk is swooping down on its prey it cleaves space at the speed of 150 miles an hour. In London 900,000 persons are living more than two in a room, and 26.000 persons are living six or more in a single room. America’s very latest is an “at home” at the bottom of the Pacific, all the guests—Bo have been invited—being in diving dress. A test for the purity of sugar is to burn a small quantity. If it is pure it will leave no ash. If it is adulterated, ashes will be left. At the 600-year-old Audien church, in Cheshire, England, the curfew is regularly rung, after which the date of the month is tolled, a survival of the times when no almanacs exsited. The brief, blunt “Hallo!” with which most of us open a telephone conversa tion is used right round the world, and has been adopted in such far-away countries as Japan, Turkey, Russia and Patagonia. One of the curious sights In Burmah is a huge bowlder on Kelasa Heights that rests in delicate poise on the very brink of a rounded cliff. So unstable is the equilibrium that the rock trem bles in the wind. This odd freak has attracted the attention of the supersti tious natives, who look upon it as a miraculous work of the gods. They be lieve that the rock is held in place by a hair of Buddha. Hence they have clambered to the top of the rock and built there a pagoda which is some 25 feet in height. actually see new hair, fine and downy at first—yes —but really new hair sprouting all over the scalp. A little Danderine now will imme diately double the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is imme diate and amazing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy and have an appearance of abundance; an incom parable lustre, softness and luxuri i ance, the beauty and shimmer of true hair hettl’h. Get a 25 c'nt bottle of Knowlton’s Danderine from any drug store or toil et counter, and prove to yourself to night—now—that your hair is as pret ty and soft as any—that it has been neglected or injured by careless treat ment—that’s afi—you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try a little Danderine. All have written of Love. The most famous of the great poets have writ ten of little else. Says SAmuel Taylor Coleridge: “To know, to esteem, to love and then to part. Makes up life’s tale to many a feeling heart.” Do you want to know the joy, the sweet sting of living? Get the habit of loving. Love does not come to all in the same guise. "The moods of love are like the wind; And none know whence or why they rise.” Thu may not know it has arrived. “It is difficult,” sang Longfellow, “to know’ at what moment Love begins—it is less difficult to know’ that it has begun." The only thing for you to do Is to welcome it gladly and without shame. An honest love is something to be proud of. It ranks you among those who think, and hope and feel; It is proof that your heart is not atrophied. It means that you have not outlived the emotions, than which there could be no worse fate. Don’t Seek a Reason. Do not seek a reason for loving. Can you not enjoy a dower without pulling it apart to find the secret of its being? ■ Would you treat a heart that aches with Love as you w’ould treat a sore toe? Woulrf you turn an analytical mind on the supremist of all emotions? Would you say “I love; I must know WHY I love?" Then you don’t love at all. Yon haven’t the faintest glimmer of life’s most radiant vision. You haven't the least conception of this greatest of miracles. You love with your brain because you haven't a heart, and Love that ex ists in the brain only is a creature with sawdust in its veins. Don’t scoff at Love, and claim It ia no longer the fashion. It will be the fashion so long as human beings exist. "Elaine still dies for Love of Laun celot, Isolde urges Tristram to new proofs of devotion, and Guenevere, the beautiful, still shares King Arthur’s throne. For chivalry is not dead—it only sleeps —and the nobleness and val or of that far-off time are ever at the service of her who has found her knight.”—Myrtle Reed.
