outfielder Of Sherwood. got four hits out
Of five attempts. and three OF this num-

alone enabled him to reach first base
safely. Brauner's hitting was more of
the clean-cut variety. He also faced
Beach five times and secured three
singles and home run drive. His clout
for the circuit was the longest hit ever
witnessed on the northeast grounds The
ball landed on 18th street and rolled half

PRACTICE ECONOMY IN THE
SELECTION AND USE OF TOWELS

It Is hardly possible to have too liberal
supply of towels for general use.
Sometimes It taxes the housekeeper to
keep a full supply on hand, as they have
such q way of wearing out and becoming
lost but there are economies in towels
as we'll as in other things. Do not buy
fringed towels. Fringe does not add any
thing except to the cost.
The best thing to buy for general house
use, for bathroom and for kitchen. Is
crash by the piece. Cut them long and
hem by hand. For kitchen towels have
roller and sew two yards and half
into one seam, which may slip over a
cheaper a yard when bought by the piece.

that way.

ORIENTAL RELIGION TEACHES
BEAUTY, WISDOM, COMFORT
To Those Who Are Capable of Logical Reasoning
No More Wonderful Study Can Be Undertaken
Than to Delve Into the Religions of the East.
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

It has been the fashion for the last dec
ade and a half. among the intellectually
unemployed. to delve into the philosophi-
cal religions OF the Orient.
No better use can be made OF the brain.
IL the brain is capable of logical reason
ing and II the mind is comprehensive
enough in its range to grasp the whole
of this wonderful religion.
But, alas, the average American wo-
man who takes up these pursuits sat
isfies herself with only the surface
phrases of the great truths; and too
frequently she makes a chaos of her own
life and the lives Of others associated
with her own.
Here are three Of the laws laid down
for the student of Oriental wisdom
laws for living the higher life:
xiii out ambition:
kill out desire Of life;
xiii out desire of comfort"
Many students who begin in this line
of research go no further than these
three sentences.
Thy declare 1t is an impossible and
repulsive religion, and they turn their
back upon 1t.
Others emotional women especially,
undertake to live practically and literally
those principles and cease to be normal
human beings; they fail in all their duties
as citizens, wives, mothers, and walk
about the earth like disembodied ghosts,
neither alive nor dead.
Many such women can be found In
any intellectual center, and where they
are found are broken homes and unhappy
men and children.
Work, Respect, and BE Happy
But these students. whether men or
women, fail to go deeply into the phil
osophy Of the ancients-the great souls
who formulated the most marvellous sys-
tenn Of human reasoning and thinking
and living in the universe.
Here is the fourth rule:
Work as those who are ambitious.
Respect this life as those who de-
sire 1t.
BE happy as those who live for happi'
ness
Understood, then, the paradoxical rules
of the vedas mean Just this: .s

and jewelry. more political power, more

II some one were to ask me to name
the very best-the most successful mother
1 ever knew-I would not have to think
long. Years ago I gave her a name of
my own, and 1 have never had occasion
to change 1t.
The name is Mother-of-Smiles.
I remember so we'll when she moved
into the neighborhood with her six. The
Misses Splint gave notice to their land
lord on the instant. Even the Martins,
who have four of their own, and who are
fond of children shook their heads doubt
fully over the coming Of Mother-of-
Smiles and her six.
The very first time I went over to see
her she came to me from the back yard
smiling.
I have been building said dunes with
the boys. 1t ended In a romp, you know.
and didn't want to keep you waiting, "
she told me.
Makes You Believe.
She was a little disheveled, but one for
got to look at the loosened hair or the
stains of wet sand on her blue chambray
dress, because of the shining of her face.
Her smile is radiance suffusing what
ever place she may be in. 1t gets down
under your hide and makes you believe
with every inch of your heart and brain,
that life is tremendously worth while.
Never have I seen such a character
builder as the smile OF this mother of six.
1t is responsible for the way The Six
look at life.
When they vex her sorely. as they often
do. she does not nag them.
She smiles.
The Better Way.
She does not hurry and drive Mary,
whose duty it is to put the kettle on
while her mother dresses in the morning.
The little girl loiters over her dressing,
and Mother-of-Smiles sees.

Simple furnishings and systematic
weekly cleaning do away with the old
time house cleaning" There need never
be a time when the house is torn up from
attic to cellar Decorating and repairs
may come at easy intervals, If one
chooses.
The items below are suggestions as to
order and method in the weekly cleaning
of a room:
Clean movable draperies, ornaments
and smaller furniture and take from
room.
Dust and roll UP shades.
Remove smaller rugs and clean them.
Brush, dust, and cover larger pieces
Of furniture.
Brush higher woodwork and walls.
Dust picture frames and wipe backs
Of smaller pictures.
Shake out window and other large
draperies and pin up.
Sweep heavier rugs and roll up.
Dust gas fixtures.
Clean the floor.
Up to q certain point a feather duster
Is allowable; when the dust has settled
Il SHOULD be removed by using slightly
dampened cloth. As ordinarily performed
dusting simply whisks the lint from one
place to another. Ideas Of dusting are
many and varied; some dust only what Is
In sight, others what might be seen. and
q few dust everywhere. They never fail
to wipe the window sashes where they
meet and lock. They open all doors and
clean them on top and two sides, as we'll
as back and front. More than that, they
dust tho casing where the door touches
when closed. One never finds solid
black line down their door casings.
Sometimes It Is necessary to polish as
well as dust The unbedten white Of
an egg stirred into cold water cleans
polished surfaces well. Work IN small
sections. dry quickly. and rub TIL bright.
Cloths must be soft and clean. Wood
work that has been stained only should
hs cleaned with . cloth slightly oiled.
