Day by Day,

I heard a voice at evening softly say.
Bear not thy yesterday into tomorrow.
Nor load this week wiki last week s
load of sorrow.
Lift all thy burdens as they come, nor
try
To weight the present with the by and
by,
One step and then another, take thy
way
Live day by day.
Live day by day.
The path before thee doth not lead
astray.
Do the next duty 1t must surely be
The Christ is in the one that's close to
thee.
Onward. still onward. with a sunny
smile.
Till step by step shall end in mile by
mile,
"I'H do my best" unto my conscience
Live day by day.
Live day by day
Why art thou bending toward the back
ward way?
One summit and another. thou shalt
mount.
FWhy stop at every round the space to
count?
The past mistakes if thou must still
remember,
Watch not the ashes OF the dying EN-
Der.
Kindle thy hope. Put all thy fears away.
Live day by day.

Simple Skin Food.

A simple food for the skin is made
thus: One tablespoonful of pure olive
oil, one-half teaspoonful of rose water,
the skin until entirely absorbed. This
food can be used at any time. If at
night before retiring wash the skin
with warm water and pure CASTLE
soap; then rub ointment on, always
rubbing upward; if applied during the
day, after rubbing food well into the
skin, apply drop chalk. This food re-
moves and prevents wrinkles, softens
the skin and keeps it from chafing.

On the ColIene Man.

A University OF Michigan man who
was in Ithaca during navy week has
the distinction of having seen the Cor
neil campus under the most peculiar
circumstances on record.
The Ann Arbor man was a guest Of
a Cornell alumnus at one of the fra
ternity lodges located on the outskirts
Of the campus. The two had retired
at late hour Saturday night and lay
for a long time swapping yarns Of col
lege life. Sleep was impossible.
About two o'clock Sunday morning
the Westerner remarked that he had
never seen the Cornell campus. Here
was chance for the Cornell grad" ;"
His former undergraduate spirit re-
turned. Come on" he said; I'll
show you the campus in proper style.
Don't wait to dress; We'll go as we
are"
The Cornell man wore a suit CT pink
pajamas and the other a white night
shirt. On their bare feet they crept
quietly out of the house, and by the
light of the bright moon the Michigan
man viewed the stately halls to great
advantage. 1t was a chilly night, but
when they got cold they ran for spell
and warmed up.
They wound up on Eddy street, near
the entrance of the college grounds,
and with daredevil spirit waited some
time for trolley car. When none ap-
peared the Cornell man happened to
remember that he was in Ithaca
where cars do not run all night, so
they returned as they had come.

Swan-Formed Bonbon Holders.

Dainty bonbon holders for the din
ner table come in the form Of swans,
done in crepe paper. For white and
gold dinners the paper is white, the
swans bill gold, and the bonbons piled
in the hollow of the birds back are
covered with gold foil. For a pink
dinner the same favor is shown in
pink crepe paper, and the bonbons are
wrapped in pink tissue paper, finished
with twist that gives the effect of
rose in full bloom

"Oh, I'm so glad to hear that, Fred"
Mrs. Delicate gave little gasp of JOY
and threw her arms around his neck
I'm so glad to hear you say you are

Whereupon Mr.. Delicate went out
and shaved the grass in front of the
