A FAIR FACE.
1t IL the Petty Griefs and Cares OF
Life That Bring the
Wrinkles.

There are few people who do not
feel the charm of q fair face. 1t is diff
fcult to analyze this charm. Itdoesnot
often consist in perfection of form or
feature, attractive though these may
be. That beauty which attracts us
nor than any outward grace is that
which reflects q placid, beautiful spir-
1t within-a spirit which dwells above
all petty vexations and small worries
In an atmosphere Of spiritual peace.
Sometimes these fair faces look out
from beneath brows furrowed with
care. Sometimes such faces belong 10
duh, Flooding, middle age; sometimes
to youth. The message such beauty
brings 10 us is the same. These faces
are a benediction in n weary world full
OF trouble, though also equally full of
blessings II we look for them. Wise
people soon learn that life is whit we
make II. II is inevitable that we shall
be made responsible for our follies Ms
well as our wrong-doings. II we nc.

Just Like n Boy

A Washington Sunday school super
intendent who is very young at the
business made an address to the schol-
ars one Sabbath recently, in which his
concluding remarks stated that this
beautiful Sabbath was only q promise
of the blissful hereafter, Of the happy
land to which we all want TO go"
"And what is that happy land?" he
asked. The small boys on the from,
seat kicked each other superstitiously
and viciously, but nobody spoke till lit
tie George said, with a tone midway
between a sniff and a gurgle:
Heaven"
"Ah, that's It'll that's i'll" said the su.
perintendent. "Little George knew it
1t is Heaven. And we all want to &C
there. And now, children, can you tel
me what kind of little boys go there?'

FREE LUNCHES PROVIDED.
land Doing This for En-
plOye%

For some years past several Of the
large manufacturing firms Of this coun-
try have found II profitable in various
ways to set apaBt a by no means I'M
important portion Of their space forthe
purpose OF Il messroom or ~dining-hall
for their employees. Where the en-
ployes include members Of both sexes,
separate rooms are provided.
The question o arises: Would II
not be still more profitable TO the
principals Of large firms generally to
provide free lunches for those employed
by them? One firm in London, employ
ing about 20 hands in It's factory, has
already decided to give a free tea, the
determination being based on business
ideas rather than on philanthropic
principles.
THE tea will cost us so much" rea-
son the principals, but our workpeople
will remain on the premises, and there
will be less time lost in leaving off and
recommending work. In winter they
can stay in the warm shops, and in sum
mer they can walk about our own piece
Of land. The morale will be better in
any case, and at the very least we shall
reap more benefit than we could pur-
chase at the cost Of the free tea. And
our employees will get a far better tea
than they could afford TO buy outside"
From a purely business point Of view,
the question Of free lunches is well
worth the consideration of large en-
ployers. The plan has been adopted
by several big companies in the United
States, SO far as their large clerical
force is concerned, and is working very
successfully, Here, also, philanthropy
enters to a very small degree into the
transaction.
A dining-roOm is set apart for the
clerks, who 60 to lunch in parties al
