THE BEST SCHOOL.

In concluding let me say to you, dear
girls, that if l have learned anything
by living. it is this: that the meaning
of life is education; not through BOOK
knowledge alone; sometimes entirely
without it. Education is growth, the
development of our best possibilities
from within outward: and it cannot be
carried on as it should be except in q
school just such a school as we all md
ourselves in-this school OF human be-
ings by whom we are surrounded
The beauty of belonging to this schools
that we cannot learn anything in II by
ourselves alone, but for and with our
fellow pupils, the wide earth over.
We can never expect promotion here,
except by taking our place among the
lowest and sharing their difficulties
until they are removed, and we all
become graduates together for a high
er school
Humility, sympathy. helpfulness. and
faith, are the best teachers in this
great university, and none of us are
well-educated who do not accept their
training. The real satisfaction OF liV-
ing is, and must forever be. the edu-
cation of all for each. and of each Tor
all So let us all try together to be
good and faithful women. and not care
too much for what the world may think
of us or our abilities.-Lucy Laroom.

SHE LIKED HAM

According to one young woman's ex-
perience it is not exactly wise to have
decided fondness for any article of
diet and TO let your friends know about
1t. In her case, however. most of her
friends had grasped the fact that she
was partial to fried ham. She did
like it once in while for breakfast
but she little realized how wearisome
too much of any good thing may be-
come, nor how jubilant the tired
housckeeper is when she discovers
some favorite dish to lead when in
doubt. She was going out to the sub
uibs Tor a few days and before she left
she had delicious slice of fried ham
served for her breakfast.
Because know how fond YOU are OF
ham" explained the old friend, with
whom she boards. The young woman
was pleased by the thoughtful little
attention and ate with thankful
spirit.
1t was near luncheon time when the
young woman arrived at her suburban
destination AS she went to the table
the faint aroma of fried ham some
where in the culinary regions greeted
her.
1T is such comfort to know what
you like" said her hostess. Il knew 1
couldn't fail to please you if l had
fried ham for luncheon" The young
woman smiled still pleased with the
thoughtfulness and with fried ham,
That night she had promised to dine
with the young married friend who
lives in the same suburb and who is
tacklng household problems and the
suburbs and the domestic service prob
lem all at one and the same time.
Yes. I'm without maid again. and
I'm so glad to see you.' the young
housekeeper enthused. At dinner she
served fried ham.
1T is hard to know what to have to
eat these days, and l remember your
old fondness." she said in explanation.
So it went on until to the young
woman's mind the future seemed one
long procession of meals. three a day.
with fried ham as their chief consti-
tuents. The crushing blow came
with her first meal back in her board
ing place.
I'VE havnt had fried ham all the
time you've been gone. We thought
we'd wait until your return. because
we knew how fond you were Of IT,"
said her kind old friend.-New York
