seek approval and admiration.
Her popularity means q good time,

Of the young delight in.
The girl that is popular is the
girl who laughs. Not the girl who

but the girl that laughs and means
it. The girl that laughs can have
candy and flowers and theatres
every day in the week.
Men flock about her. They
adore her. She laughs herself

and admirers and straight into all
the good times that q girl can
dream Of.
Sue laughs, but she is careful
when she laughs. She laughs with
her beaux, but never at them.
She laughs at what they say
when they say it, but aever after

but never about them. She never

A MORNING TONIC
(Newen Dwight Hillis.D


MuItitudes of parents have consci-
ously or unconsciouSly trained their
SONS to think that the career is first,
and God is second. Prayer in the
morning? Well. yes. providing it does
not interfere with getting to the office
early. Beautiful and reverent thoughts
before sleep at night? Yes, providing
there is nothing to do in the way of
getting on. Worship and church on
Sunday? Yes, providing God and His
worship do not interfere with the first
thing-the profession and career. The
great cult of today is selfishness. Our
people are. pleasure mad. ease mad.
gold mad; parents are training their
children to "get on" They ought to
be training them to ! "get up"
We rise to the level of our
loIIiest and most wOrshipful
thoughts and ideals. We sink to the
level of our basest purposes. Selfish
ness in running lives and breaking
hearts innumerable. The eternal note
that lends the note to distinction has
fallen out of the deeds of time. Many
characters are becoming mediocre and
imperfect. There is a crack in the
vase, a yellow stain on the statue,
an ugly rent in the garment. muddy
hue i'm the eye. From God alone man
borrows all perfection. Not until that
sublime figure on Gafilee's hills made
HIS sublime and thrilling protest
against selfishness did the world un-
derstand that man hath his beauty.

The OutIoOk's Book Number.

AS usual, the Outlooks illustrated
Magazine number for December is also
its Annual Book Number, and this Is
in fact the seventeenth year of the ap-
pearance of such a yearly survey OF
the books of the season. In addition
to a large number of pages devoted to
a classified review of recent literature
in it's more important departments,
there are special features dea ling with
notably literary personalities. and an
article dealing with the American pub
Usher and including a dozen or more
portraits of the heads of the most Ia
nous American publishing houses.
Half a dozen or more authors OF note
have been chosen as the subjects or
personal articles, accompanied in each
case with a portrait. The authors In
question are: Mrs. Edith wharton,
about whom Mrs. Louise Collier Will
cox writes with discrimination as well
as appreciation; George Bernard
Shaw's peculiarities are discussed in a
searching, and at the same time anus
ing article by Royal Cortissoz; Gilbert
K. Chestorton's aggressive literary
work is commented upon by Mr..
George Perry Morris; while unsigned
articles deal with Miss May Sinclair,
auhor of "The Divine Fire; Maurice
Hewlett and Richard Watson Glider.
Somewhat akin to TINS group OF drli-
cles Is that which gives an account
of visit to "The Real Elizabeth In
her German Garden" in which Mr..
Robert H SchaufIicr reports the am
using and characteristic talk of this
author, who still insists upon MAIN
tanning anonymous. The number con-
tains not a little that is interesting
apart from it's special literary charac-
ter. Thus, there Is a charmingly il
lustrated talk about Mr.. F. S. Church,
whom the author we'll calls "a painter
of the idear; a description of "Our
Search for the Black Forest" by Mr..
Hamilton Wright Mabie; two or three
personal sketches and portraits of men
of the day; delightful story called
1.-THE Golden Wedding" by Zona Gale;
and the usual report upon and editor

Rules For Not Reading.

Here are EmerSOn'S famous rules
for not reading adapted to more mod
ern conditions, as propounded by the
Well-known critic and reviewer, Mr..
II. w. Boynton, in The Outlook'S S An
nual Book Number:
Il suppose there are no better
known or more generally disregarded
rules for reading than these of En-
erson's Cd Never read any book that
is not year old; CD. never read
any but famed books; (3) never read
any but what you like. Probab-
ly nothing better can be done with
these bits of advice than to disre-
gard them, if it becomes a question
of taking them literally and as rules.
Only the third will bear close exami-
nation, the two others are merely
hints. Certainly Emerson did not ex
pect his own books to be put in cold
storage for year before they actually
got upon the market. He must have
counted on a few persons here and
there to undertake the drudgery of
making his work known to fame. l
do not mean reviewers, but persons in
real life, reading what they like. Lit
erary criticism does rot make fame,
it simply accounts for it. Moreover,
formally critical minds are exception
al in the nature of things, and Emer-
son was thinking of the ordinary read
er. He believed that this reader spends
good deal too much time over the
"iust out" books He therefore eX-
horts him, in his uncompromising way,
to abstain totally from his favorite in
dulgence. He next proposes pretty
Stern alternative, and appends the
third rule as a saving clause to nit
igate the austerity of the second.
"It was always Emerson's habit to
affirm rather than to qualify. How
much less effective these suggestions
would have been if he had given
some such form as this: Cd The
chances are that any given new book
will not be worth reading for persons
who are anxious to use their time
for reading to the best ad-
vantage; (2) the chances are that
the best-known books are the best
books, for a few books do not survive
from among many without good
cause; CD they survive because they
have given pleasure to more persons,
and a more permanent pleasure, than
other books have. Some of them Will
not hold pleasure for you. Read those
which do.

pened already. and is happening more

or the breach of them, to give an un-
fair advantage to the very rich who
want to be richer, at the cost of the
poor. But to fortunes legltlmately
won by men fit to win them, and who
merely levy a lawful tribute on bene-
fits conferred on the community, we
have no objection at ell. Such for
tunes are the signs of general pros
perity. We like to see them grow,

the same spirit in which we admire

is no objection to riches, then, provi-
