by what they read of astronomical
lmarvels, and If their desire to see some
of these things with their own eyes
could be gratified the result would be
intellectual gain, not only for the in
dividuals Immediately concerned, but
for the cause OF science and general
education.
We have in this country the great
est telescopes In the whole world, but
they are devoted to the advance of
science, and only directly to its diff

struments In technical work, that get
the ear OF the men who possess the
necessary money. More than once q

use and instruction OF the public has
fallen under the practically exclusive
control of professionals, and the curl

innate, for In its very nature 1t is
highly intellectual, and 1T ought to be
recognized and provided for.
On no side is nature capable of up
lifting the mind SO effectually as on

Sick Room Education.

by Ada PATTERSON In New York Anne rican
When some one with glowing cheeks
and brilliant eyes and a springy step
says:
Il have never been i'll In my life" I
think What an education in the real
things of life you have lost! What dis
c1pl1ne you have missed!"
For, as we look at the world through
the windows of sickroom, we learn
the lesson of helplessness. In health
we are, or should be. nightly self-re-
liant. But illness lays our spirits low.
We who had thought we were world
conquerors conclude that we are puny
atoms. That sense though a passing
one, Is Christening.
Looking with tired. longing eyes
through the windows of a sickroom
at the hurrying world outside, we have
new sense of values. The enmities
IN our lives seem trivial, the friend
ships great. Those whom we love seem
very close to u.s. those we hated very
FAR off. We know what before we had
not knoWn-that the friendships we
have formed have been the sweet,
green places in our lives.
TO our vision. as we peer day after
oay through those windows upon the
Kaleidoscope which is life, comes a new
clearness. We understand many things
that mad ouzzled u.s. One of these is
the egotism OF invalids. In the cruelty
OF our strength we had thought them
bores. We had tired of their ailments.
been exasperated by the recital of their
symptoms. But with the clear, new
VISION have come understanding and
pity, understanding that our conversa-
tlon cannot rise higher than it's source,
our own lives. the body life and the
thought life, and pity for the person
,mmured within the everyday, narrow
ing walls of that world of pain.
Through the sickroom windows we
see another truth, the esteem that great
skill deserves. The physician or sur
geon who comes every day to our bed
side to mend the battered craft for
announcer Noyage--what reverence is due
him for work we'll done!
There flies through the sickroom win
COW guest we may never before have
entertained. 1t is patience. we have
expended our energies in doing. Nov
we use them in bearing. 1t captures
our minds and pervades our hearts
this new power to bear that condition
which we cannot alter, TO bear 1t
quietly, bravely. with no outward
fiinching.
We look through the sickroom win
Cows again. but it Is from the other
sice. we are taking our place, though
1t be with feeble steps, In the march

dows Is a backward one. The world Ia

we are taking the backward glance was
little and full of pain
But II taught us many lessons. UNI
lofgettable lessons, and the chief Of
these is thet the sun has arisen. and
before its light old cares have van
ished. We are glad radiantly. heart
burstlngly glad, just to be alive.

SHOES m Variety.

The number of pairs of shoes, Slip
r"rs and hosiery which the summer
girl now considers essential to her
summer outfit would have been thought
madly extravagant not so long ago
Probably it Is eXtravagant now, but
matter of course. and bronze shoes.
tan shoes. white shoes. suedes. buck
skins. cravenette, canvass and evening
slippers in satin to match each evening
frock, are counted as necessities Foot
wear which would have been thought
too fanciful for good taste soma time
ago is now accepted without question.
Among the new things are some de-
lightful II audacious plaid shoes In the
grays and blacks as Well Us In the
brightest OF colors. They are for out
Ing wear and are charming on a small
foot. There are low shoes In gray
suede with heels and plain leather
covered buckles In contrasting colors
The same idea Is carried out in the
white shoes The favorite combina-
lions are gray and green. gray and
light rose color. and white and pink
or white and blue. Occasionally YOU
see a white shoe with black patent
leather trimming and there are strik-
ing shoes of white with heels and lac
ing5 and tips in color, but there is
little Indication that this bizarre foot
wear viii be popular The shoe ideas
that promise to be most in favor are
those carried out in bronze leather.
Even in the most substantial of the
bronze models shown the leather has
q peculiar softness and lightness that
will be delightful for summer wear.
Another advantage in It's favor is that
1t can be worn with almost any kind
of costume. Its use for street wear
Is already quite common.
