lie Is but little more than thirty years

The old idea OF lf-mortifeation Is out
of date The haircloth shirt, the 1agella-

an early epoch have been replaced by
efforts TO purify and spiritualize
the soul.
Lent IS a time when we should think

those less fortunate. less happily placed
Useless TO fret as to what we are and
what We should be; useless 10 spend vain
regrets over old sins, 10 indulge In intro

soul and often brings despair. The only
way to attain spirituality is to ignore the
morbid cravings OF our spiritual nature

look outward. not inward: 70 seek in
alleviauns the sorrow and despair OF
others surcease from our own despair

Cohan, and his mother, Helen F. Cohan,

they reach top-line altitude. Little George
Cohan was put on the stage when he was
but three years old 10 do a darcing spe-
cialty. He has been on the stage ever
since with hardly an intermissiOn. From
the first he attracted attention because OF
his peculiar ability as a dancer, and as
ne grew older he elaborated his style IN
III Il Is now recognizable on practically
every vaudeville stage Wherever a young
man, dressed IN the most up-to-date
raiment, crooking his back ike a letter
S. and rompiuE through the hveiiest
dance steps possible appears, the audi
ence begins to murmur, Another inita-
ton Of Cohsn." And II is a tribute to
his popularity that even the poorest iuni-
tator gets a hand and big one.
AS he grew older he became the leading
figure IN the vaudeville team OF the Four
Cohans. in which MS father and mot:ser
and his sister Josephine figured with
himself. George Cohsn always had an
ambition 10 do something better. Time
after time he tried 10 get away from the
