Be Cheerful and You Will Be
Beautiful

Engraved faces are more often the re-
suit of habit than the marks of time,
that professional etcher who usually re-
ceives all the credit for feminine ugliness.
Woman is not content with expressing
herself in words; she must needs make
little noses and funny faces to give conn
pletion to her ideas. If you wall about
your lack of beauty, watch yourself for
one short day. You will be surprised to
find what wonderful things you will do
with your own face. II countenances
were not so substantially built they
would sooner show the wear and tear inn
posed upon them.
Wrinkles and lines are indexes to ones

her forehead. and she advertises her pro-
fesson of official worrier by growing box
pleats between her eyes, by allowing her
mouth to drop at the corners and by TAX
ing on the plantive portrait of misery, in
which she really rejoices.
But the optimist. the individual of good
cheer and laughter, sails serenely along
the high seas of existence with smooth,
nicely ironed face, which makes her re-
main so young that she never really out
grows her happy days of mud pies and
pinafores.

Animal Partnerships

doctor in Canada gives a most M
teresting instance of partnership be-
tween two animals-a coyote. or prairie
wolf, and common badger. 1t Is quite
common, he says. for these two creatures
to go out hunting together and he has
often seen them In his district hunting
for the small ground squirrels that live
in burrows below the soil
Their snug little homes have always
two entrances, and while the coyote
watches one of these the badger digs
down from the other so that. whichever
way the poor squirrel tries to escape. hs

IF one have a tn ought of coura ge,
a vision of the joy of life, the world Is
hungry to hear it.
You may interpret 90 the world In
various ways, but in none more effect
lively than through the living voice and
expressive body.
Whatever be the medium of express
sion chosen-whether the brush and
canvass, the chisel and marble, the
pen or the voice and action--this me-
dunn must be fluent articulate and
obedient to the thought which Graves
embodiment, or the inadequacy of ex-
preston. will make you doubt your
own thought and you will not only
fail to interpret it to others but will
also lose 1t yourself
In days gone by "elocution" was
looked upon as rather an appalling
and unfortunate Accomplishment Since
the accepted Idea of this art was 10
art at all, but the Wild gcsticulation
and ranting as it were, of people who
knew little of what real reading"
meant. And how embarrassing the sit
uation was to be sure to an aud
fence who had to sit through such a
performance!
Today elocution is on a far different
plane. 1t demands the fullest develop
ment of the individual and that the
cxpressional faculties of the mind
Should not be neglected and left dor
mant but must be awakened and i'll
diligently trained.
in other words the reader must be
an all-round student; educated, we'll
equipped with thorough understa nd
ing of the masterpieces of literature
from all points of view and a complete
understanding of tn cir truth, beauty
and purpose, and to express these in
voice and body. deepening and widen
ing the appreciation of literature and
art.
More than this, 1t leads to a wider
and fuller self-knowledge and self
command and Is a valuable means of
spiritual education.

Origin of Baseball

Baseball probably grew out of the
old English schoolboy game of round
ers." Some have adduced evidence that
1t came from the old New England
game of zone old cat or two old

of tipcat may also be related. 1t was
played by FOUR six or eight players,
each standing by a hole or base. One
of the opposite party threw the cat to
a batsman, and every time 1t was hit
they had to run about the bases Prob

ancestor. At any rate, baseball be-
