her, 1t turned out, that she was sick,
so she had painted for death" and
all her relatives had gathered about
her to bemoan her-and incidentally
to divide her property as soon as she
was dead. There was no use in tho
major arguing about it, so he had the
coffin made. In many cases those
painted for death" are actually bull
lied into dying, but Mrs. Standing Elk
was still too vigorous. Finally in
despair she carried tho coffin into the

MAN BELONGS TO MS AGE
Essentially Subject Of Environment,
Life In Other Periods Would Be
impossible to Him.

Could man, we're he given the op-
portuntty, really live in any age WIDE
~ remote from his own? Modern phi
losophy tells US that life Is then ut
Its highest and best when the organ
Ism Is perfectly adapted to Its en-
v1ronment. II this be so, then 1t Is
clear that any large, sudden and
abrupt change in the environment
must impair the vitality Of the organ
ism, and might even destroy It alto
gether. If We think of it. a Greek OF
the age of Pericles. Roman OF the
age of julius Caesar, would find It as
hard to live the life of today as any
man now alive would find it hard to
live on were he by some freak OF
magic, to fall asleep in his own world
tonight and to wake up tomorrow
morning in the Athens of Pericies or
in the Rome of julius Caesar. The
mere effort of the organism to adapt
Itself to the, strange environment
would benumb all its energies and ar
rest all its functions. You might az
well expect palm tree to flourish In
the arctic regions It would langu1sh
and die In the attempt.
Yet there are many worthy people
who delight to call themselves old
fashioned and are always longing, so
they pretend, to live in some other
and better age than their own. They
make to themselves a paradise Of
past they have never known and fond
ly imagine that were they its Adam
and Eve no serpent would ever be-
guile them into wanting to know the
good and the evil of the present. It
is vain aspiration and those who en-
terrain it only succeed, so far as they
succeed at all. in getting hopelessl9
out OF touch with their own age.

bridesmaids are due to brides rec.

something old, something new, some

where bridesmaids are at all old it
