THE OEOO>CMAWS MAGrAJZIME PAOrE,
The Everydayness of Life
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
-frue love is but a humble, low-born
thing
hath its food served up in earth
enware;
| S a thing to walk with hand in
hand.
Through the everydayness of this work
aday world.”
—James Russell Lowell.
PrHAP? just that one word ex
plains why much that passes for
love fails to survive; it lacks the
qualities that are needed to meet “the
eV e-ydayness" of life.
A maid and a man meet, and the law
p f attraction which is not governed by
any rule or reason does the rest.
They select under the rays of moon
light that which they demand must sur
vivo t h ? hot 'beating of the sun. and
even =tnrm of every season.
Because they love in smooth sailing,
they imagine they will continue to love
when there is every strain, every test,
put upon that love to weaken or break
it.
The man gets a very small salary.
"It fs large enough for two.” they ar
gue. having for the time being lost all
appetite for such material things as
bread and meat.
Older heads, that should be wiser,
make no protest, and there is a mar
riage on an income that, never sufficed
for one. Or if older heads do protest,
no one heeds.
‘You lack sentiment; you are cold
blooded you would kill all the romance
and love in life if you could,” the older
beads hear when they point to th® high
cost of living.
Romance is gratified; it always is.
gn( j there is a marriage with the wolf
mingling among the wedding guests,
older married folks know what it
means to have him at the door. When
a man and woman marry without any
means of livelihood in sight, the wolf
boldly waits at the altar.
Once in the house. It take o the united
effort of man and wife to dislodge him
and sometimes the struggle that begins
with the wedding day never ends, and
he is one of the family till the end.
They intend to fight him with econ
omy. but not many of the young folks
of today know what economy is. And
by that I mean old-fashioned thrift.
The pennies that should go for ne
cessities go for adornment first. So
often a ribbon is paid for with money
that would have bought a soup bone.

Young Jorkins is always bragging
about his great muscular strength and
h.is prowess with his fists.
Recently a story went round that he
anti Smithton had nearly come to blows
after a baseball .match. and Timeon
went to the hero to learn the truth of
the matter.
“Yes,” replied Jorkins. getting red in

bought with money. It Is given, on the
strength of conviction * * ' There is
no evidence wanting to prove that De-
Miracle is worthy of its reputation.
• • » It was found by the represen
tative of The World that among promi
nent department and drug stores of
New York city the use of DeMiracle was
lauded on all sides The proprietor of
one of the largest of these establish
ments said. The sale of DeMiracle is
constantly increasing, and we hear
nothing but praise for it al! the time.'
Dike expressions were echoed by the
others.”
For years we have hr*n cautioning
women against being defrauded by so
called superfluous hair "cures In
spite of all warning. It seems that some
are always willing to be humbugged,
because, as The World says. "The fakes
put on the market ip the last ten years
have numbered their victims by the
hundreds of thousands." The mere fact
that fake-dangerous preparations are
short-lived should alone be sufficient
warning to avoid the use of any de
pilatory but that of proven merit.
Don’t be deceived or deluded by al
luring and impossible claims of im
postors Tell any one of them that De-
Miracle Chemical Company will forfeit
Five Thousand Dollars if it can be
proven that their so-called superfluous
hair "cure*” ever eradicated one single
growth of superfluous hair.
It la astonishing that some women
will take the risk of disfigurement by
using unknown and uncertain means for
removing these blemishes when there
Is such a safe method as DeMiracle,
whioh is acknowledged by eminent and
reputable authorities everywhere as the
standard depilatory-the one absolutely
non-poisonous preparation that dis
solves hair, thereby taking the vitality
out of it. consequently retarding and
preventing an increased growth.
If further proof Is needed as to ths
reliability of DeMiracle. no stronger ar
gument can be advanced than the fact
that It Is the only depilatory that has
stood the teat of time
There was more of it sold ten years
ago and there has been more of It sold
each year since than the combined sal**a
of the nostrums.
All reliable dealers sell and recom
mend DeMiracle, knowing It to be the
best and saf-s’ depilatory Home un
principled ones will tell you they can
not procure it so that they may more

Guilty! Already in imagination he
heard the newsboys shouting the verdict
in the streets newsboys In busy cen
ters at Charing Cross -at the Mansion
House, so near by in quiet suburbs In
distant Weybourne. The raucous voices
of hoys shouting in the street: "Guilty!"

tricable net of circumstantial evidence,
prepared to fight to the last for bis life
because of the ingrained instinct which
makes men fight, yet caring so little to
win the life that would cost so dear?
It seemed to Rimington that already he
had endured all that a man could en
dure- that the future could hold nothing
so merciful as death for him. These
weeks since his arrest at Paddington sta
tion had been like tears of anguish. His
first acquaintance with prison life, the
unspeakable degradation of the Black Ma

offscouring of the criminal world* the
crushing news of the explosion at West

true facts of the case -but he knew
enough to realize that the dream of his
lifetime was gone, the bubble of his hope
pricked and exploded. The. formula on i
which his* invention had depended was
lost forever, and the future of which he
had boasted to Betty was so much fairy

A Blank Future
It was this knowledge that had laid
hop* dead in Klmington's heart -th*
knowledge that even If, by a miracle, he
should be acquitted of this charge brought
against him. he would find himself lac
ing the world again penniless, without
prospect—a blighted man on whom the
prison taint had laid its withering hand;
farther than ever from the woman he
loved, from the girl who had plighted her
troth to him on tha' day of high hopes,-
in the punt on the Thames under the
overhanging trees.
He gave a little upward lift of th* head,
unconscious that the movement was ob
served and carefully noted by a half
dozen pairs of observant eyes: and. look
ing across the court, be saw the woman
of his thoughts entering it. In company
with his solicitor. His heart gave a grist
bound, then seemed to stand still Since
the miserable day of the magisterial in
quiry. when he had realized for the first
time how irretrievably he was trapped,
he had not seen Betty, save, in those
dreams that tortured him nightly In th*
brief snatches of sleep that were more
full of pain than refreshment. Now het
eyes met his across the court far off and
distant as she seemed to hint, h* was
sure of that- with a message of love and
hope
She was dressed in white, charmingly
dressed as though for a fete day; and
Rimlngton's lover's heart read a message
in that also. She was full of hope and
trust she knew no doubt and no tie
spalr. She was there todai believing In
tlte triumphant acquital of the man she
loved'
Rimlngton's senses swam For a mo

Getting On in Life
By THOMAS TAPPER.
The Proof of the Pudding
FEW people, so it is said, have it in
them to be a Lincoln or an Edi
s >n.
But how do we know this?
Who knows what any hoy or girl
may be until the boy or girl has tried
in every way possible to find out just
what there is tn he or she?
When they tell you to be content
with the simple life, not to want money,
not to care for the things that people
prize, do not be too quick to act on
this advice.
You do not go to bed at 5 in the aft
ernoon for two reasons:
First. You are not tired at 5 in the
afternoon.
Second. You like to be up and see
what is going on in the evening.
The same wish holds good in life.
Do not shut yourself up in a narrow
and restricted way of living too soon.
Make up your mind that you have a
share in the good things of life. (See
rules later on). This is like going to
bed early in the afternoon. You miss a
lot and y ou miss doing a lot.
Now. any one of us can have our
share of life's good things provided
(and here a.re the rules):
I. We think about the work we are
going to do.
2. We think about the work we are
doing
3. We think about the work, of a
harder kind, we want lo do.
How the Rules Work Out.
This sort of a program acts in an in
teresting way- about like this:
t.. It keeps you thinking.
2. And that keeps you a take.
3 And. ijteing awake, you know " hat
is going on.
4, And when you know what is go
ing on. yotf are in a fairway to find
your chance.
5. And when you have found your
chance all the rest is easy.
6. Then you w ill have opportunity
and money: and if you want the sim
ple life, you can have that. too.
But remember the simple life belongs
to the independent man.
Mr. Edison has money, and he cer
tainly makes opportunii • Yet he sleeps
only about four hours, and eats prac
tically less than any other hard work
ing man in the United States
If he wanted to. he could have duck
plum pudding and cham'pagne three
times a day. Why does he no’ want
these things - ’ He can pay for them
The ansoer is simple:
He would rather get the work out of
Mr Edison than put ducks and plum
pudding into him
fl 1 ’
Anty Dnidge Telh How to Make
Easy.
Mrs. Fl ordwork- — “I certainly do detest Hon 3ecl eardwg
time. Here I've heeri sembhirtff and scrubbing until
the skin ie all off rny knuckles, and 1 just can't get
the and paint elean.”
Jnty Drudgo— “All the eHww greane in the world
clean things if you use the wrong soap. Get
Fels-Naptha and the grease and dirt on floors and
paint work will disappear like magic.”
Fels-Naptha is better than an extra
pair of hands in housecleaning. •
It makes dirt fly from walls, floors,
woodwork, linoleum, windows, porcelain
fittings and anything else that’s clean
able, just as it does from clothes.
No scrub-brush or hot water is nec
essary, mind you.
Just Fels-Naptha, cool or lukewarm
water, and a soft cloth.
Fels-Naptha dissolves the dirt in a
jiffy so it can be rinsed away; it doesn’t
have to be scoured off.
As Fels-Naptha is also a germicide,
it is a good sanitary precaution to do
your housecleaning with it.
Did you ever try wasn.’ng dishes with
Fels-Naptha in lukewarm water?
It cuts the grease quick as a wink
and makes the glasses shine.
Directions for all uses of Fels-Naptha
are printed on the red and green wrapper.
This is the type of simple life for
you to go after. Get work out of your
self. with plenty of ideas about it. Don't
live for plum pudding; live for what
you can do.
This la the simplest game In the
world And yet—
More men play pinochle every day
than play thia great game of getting
on.
More women play bridge than ever
try to get acquainted with the power
and character of the soul they’ hope,
some day. to save.
All a Matter of Choice.
It Is all a matter of choice until the
day you are scared to death, and then
th«- plum pudding and the pinochle
can do so little for the soul you want
to save that you hate them.
11.
Well, mister, if the rule is so simple,
why isn't every body at work on it?
1 do not know I think that a bit
of plum pudding that a man can see
looks better to him than the soul
which be can not see—-or, rather, will
not see.
There may be some other reason.
But after all. It must be the plum
pudding.
Successful men have been praising
work and its rewards for six thou
sand years, and they still have a small
audience.
They have kept on singing for sixty
centuries that you can have all you
want if you are willing to keep buay.
And still most people want it with
out work.
So I think it is the plum pudding
that wrecks this chance in life.
But it may be the duck o» the
pinochle.
