That power must come from the mind,
from the inner radiant center, which, like
searchllght casts its beams into the
darkness and secs many hidden things.
OF only few who gave time and thought
and study to higher planes of conscious
ness, or by the still smaller few who were
born with psychic vision. Today there is
an almost universal awakening of the
mind of man to the intuitive quality. And
there are hundreds of people lacking edu-
cation and culture who yet feel this
peculiar sense of which Maeterlinck
speaks in his essay; this sense which
warns them through the avenue of the
soul when injustice, selfishness or
cruelty stands before them in smiling
guise
The recent experiments in London and
New York, by physicians who have
proven the word aura to be more than
visionary expression of religious fanatics
and who have found it to be a fact that
each human being is surrounded by an
aura, varying in color and size and shape,
according to his mental and physical
state, viii eventually add much TO the

psychic power Of the race.
Not only will we feel certain sense of
good or evil In the presence of people,
but we will see the condition which pro-
duces these effects.
The animals aura is physical. the hui
man beings mental and physical. and
the mental is two-fold, since the spiritual
development creates the third and most
important rays of the aura.
But already in this generation 1t is
well for us to realize, as Maeterlinck has
told you, that you cannot hide your
wrong thought or your wrong deed from
your friends or your enemies or the
stranger or the child.
Astrologers tell us that we are under
the influence of a planet which is called
the Great Revealer,'' and during the
last ten years, and for some years to
come, this planet will cause hidden
things to be brought forth and dark
places to become light
Perhaps it is this planetary condition,
directed and guided by the great mind
back of all things, which has awakened
the minds Of men and women to psychic
powers.
God works in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform.
But guard well your thoughts,
For they are no longer your own.
hold it true that thoughts are things,
Endowed with being, breath and wings;
And that we send them forth to fill
The earth with good results or i'll.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds to the earth's remotest spot
And leaves its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind II, as 1t goes.
II is Gods law. Remember 1t
In your still chamber as you sit,
With thoughts you would not dare make
known,
And yet make comrades, when alone.
These thoughts have life, and they will
fly,
And leave their impress by and by;
Like some marsh breeze, whose poisoned
breath
Breathes into homes it's fevered death.
And after you have quite forgot,
or quite outgrown some vanished thought,
Back to your mind to make its home
A dove, or raven, 1t shall come.
Then let your secret thoughts be fair;
They have vital part or share
In shaping worlds and moulding fate;
Gods system is so intricate.

The Girl Who Has Had
by DOROTHY DIX.

A romantic young milllonalress who
eloped with S9O-a-week chauffeur and
who is stnl unforglven and unprovided
for by her rich parents, has Just gone
TO housekeeping. and Is reported to have
bought most OF her household plenishings
at the five and ten cent stores. More
than that, the salesgir who waited on
her opened her eyes ut tho thrift and
economy displayed by the rich girl, and
declared;
Gee never saw anybody get as much
out OF a dollar before. II all million
airosses are that saving poor men ought
| TO hunt 'em up for wives"
! And the salesglrl was right. Rich
women are more economical than poor
women as a rule, and II is money in
mans pocket and happiness in his home
ia marry the sin who has had the
cakes and ale OF life instead of the one
who Is starved for them.
Poor men are afraid to ask rich girls
to marry them. A poor man says to
himself, that his $3.50 or 500 month
salary would look like a clipped Cana
dian dime to a girl who had been In
the habit OF living at the rate OF thou
sands year, and that she would spend
his tiny income on chocolate creams and
never know where II went to. Therefore
he passes her by, and asks some girl
| who has never had a second frock TO her
back, scarcely, TO marry him, with the
] view OF getting a wife who has been
raised to save and do without things,
and who will be a help TO struggling
young man.
OF course there are exceptions 70 all
rules, and occasionally the woman who
has been used to prodical expenditure
goes on her wasteful career and keep
her poor husbands nose to the grind
stone all Of his life. Also the poor and
economical girl may develop into a tight
wad wife, and thereby is the mans guess
at what a woman will do justified
As general thing, however, exactly
the reverse OF this happens. II the rich
girl loves the poor man well enough 20
marry him there is no sacrifices she is
not willing to make for him, and she is
so bent and determined that he shall get
all In the world, and so afraid that she

him, that she becomes a model OF in

view OF the subject will not meet with
the approval of men. Every man likes to
feel that he Is the first and only, which
explains In part why 80 many married
women find affinites and divorce is 20
common.
An old colored woman once put this
very aptly to mo in speaking OF certain
married woman whose flirtations were q
subject OF scandllous gossip. Miss
Sally" she said sententlously, married
when she wasn't but 10. She never had no
gal time. And we women is got to have
our gal time. II we don't get it early
we takes II late"
And there you are, It is true that the
woman who has had little admiration and
love making and few Compliments from
men before she marries, is abnormally
sensitive TO them II they come her way
after marriage. She Is the woman who
INDUCES in flirtations and is an easy
victim for the designing men who are
homo wreckers, whereas the woman who
has had all Of the love dalliance that
she cared for as girl is glad enough to
be done with 1t and to settle down In
quiet satisfaction to a Darby and Joan
life.
II is a curious phase of human char
aoter that we put little value ON the
things we have never had, and this Is
what makes 1t safer TO marry the girl
who has had the fairness OF the land
