THE TWO ROADS.

It was New Years night. An aged
man stood at a window and his
thoughts We're of the past. He raised
mis- mournful eyes toward the dark
blue sky where the stars were float
ing Ike lilies or the surface Of a
clear lake. Then he cast them on
the earth where a few more hapless
beings :il1e himself now moved toward
their certain goaI-the tomb.
Alreadv he had passed sixty of the
stages that lead to it; and he had
brought from his journey nothing but
errors and remorse. His health was
sorrowful, and his old age devoid of
comfort.
The DAYS of his youth rose up in
a svision before him, and he recalled
the solemn moment when his father
had placed him at the junction Of two
roads-one leading into a peaceful
summer land, covered with a fertile
harvest ana resounding with soft,
sweet songs; while the other conduct
ed the wanderer into deep dark cave.
whence there was no issue, where poi
son flowed instead of water. and where
serpents Kissed and crawled.
He looked again toward the sky and
cried out in his agony:
"Oh, Youth, return! oh. my father.
place me once more at the entrance
to life, that L may choose the better
Way!"
But the days of his youth and his
ia thor had both passed away. He saw
wandering lights floating away over
dark marshes and then disappearing.
Those were the days of his wasted
life. He saw star fell from heaven
and vanish IN the darkness. This
was an emblem OF himself. The clock
in the high tower struck and the sound
falling on his ear recalled his parents
early love for him, their erring son.
The lessons they had taught him, the
prayers they had offered up to God
for his health Overcome with shame
and grief he dared no longer look
toward that Heaven where his father
dwelt. His darkened eyes dropped
tears, and with one despairing effort
he cried aloud:
Come back my early days! oh,
Youth come back"
And his youth did return, for all
this was but a dream that visited his
slnn1bers on New Years night
We who still linger on the threshol
of life. doubling which path to choose,
remember that when years have
passed and your feet stumble the
dark mountain. you viii cry bitterly,
but cry in vain "Oh, Youth. return!
Oh, give me back my early days"

a fair day and the sheep were let in
to the pasture; the clouds gathered; 1T
commenced to rain, and the rain soon
turned to sleet. The sheep came home.
One was missing. The flock must be
cared for, and l was sent to look for
the lost sheep As country children

the storm. In a half hour / was home,
bringing the lamb in my arms-the
sheep followed, and they were soon in
a safe shelter.
After l had been given dry clothing
and a warm supper, my mother told
me the story of those Chaldean shep-
herds who were watching their fiocks
when they saw the star in the east,
and Good viii. Then of the three wise
men who. coming from different parts
Of the country, tourneyed together 10
the little town of Bethlehem, where In
the manager lay the Christ child who
was to become the Great Shepherd.
l had heard the story a great many
times; but under no other circum-
stances did IT leave such a strong i'm
preston. Now l seldom see a flock
of sheep, even on the larger farms, but
l wonder how many of my little sis

animal that cannot find its way home

shepherds voice. or they will never

A DREAmER's coBwEss START.

Dear Corner Friends: Something
worth while, something substantial is
Aunt Jules suggestion.
To be substantial, a thing must be
real and not ina ginary, so to save my
reputation I'd better begin by saying
that the following hints for using up
scraps" are real and not dreams"
A discarded eentIeran's silk string
recktie will make substantial lady's
collar. Clean and press the tie cut
crosswise through the center, join the
two iengthwise edges, thus making the
collar lin most cases. three inches
wide. Form seam crosswise in center
OF collar making it narrow at top and
vide at bottom. like a dart. to produce
a perfect fit. a scrap Of braid Gone
yard will do it ITO match the color of
the collar, makes a neat trimming and
covers up the seams. Finish with a
ruche in the neck.
A cute bow for fat collar or for a
high turnover collar can be made from
& scrap of silk about nine inches
square IF there is enough silk, line the
loops with 1t. If not, use sateen to
match silk Three silk medaIIions.
Joined to form triangular shape jabot
and trimmed with q few beads. make
this neat bow complete.
Another flat COLLAR can be fashioned
from an old piece of cream or black
lace. Cut with one point in front and
two in back where collar fastens Trim
with a scrap of gold or soutache braid
1t has been said that neither the
Young nor the elderly woman can pos
sess too mahy Of these finishing
touches which add SO greatly 10 the
feminine toilet.
An old sable fur neckpiece can be
utilized to cover the crown of a black
felt hat Catch the brim up on one
side with a braided ornament and
HACK quill or turn the brim up direct
" in the center of back and arrange
few loops of ribbons to fall over on to
the fur crown. Any other kind of fur
may be used in place of sable.
