TWO SIDES OF NEIGHBORLINESS

felt at liberty to accept the telephone
offer OF the morning. Its motive was
too disgustingly obvious.
When the lad went home, he told me
that his mother would bring our dinner
over early, for she knew we must be
tired from our long day. And, true to
her word, she came-a quiet, thought
tul woman, whose face would have
been grave were ienot for her confident
smile.
Two little lads from her household
OF many children helped carry the din
ner. And il was a perfect dinner.
The Understanding Neishbor.
Il have not been over to offer you
help through the day because / know
the coming and going of strangers
makes greater confusion when one is
moving. And there is no time for soci-
ability when one has houseful of un-
packed furniture / thought it would
be better il left you to your freedom
OF work and stayed at home and pre-
pared your dinner, for the first few
meals are so hard in a new place." she
told me.
And in my heart I blessed her for
her wisdom.
She fingered just long enough to say
that she was sure l would like the new
city, and particularly the neighborhood
which ! had selected. and she made
special mention of the mother of the
two grown daughters, whom, she told
me, was splendid, big, strong woman
whose own work had paid her two
daughters way though college.
Then she left me to the good and
wholesome dinner, and / noticed as
watched her across the street that the
fog had lifted and that the sun was
setting clear in the west.
In concluding the recital of this ex-
perience, l know of nothing more eS-
pressiye than a sentence from the fore
word of one of Henry Van Dykes
books, which reads:
Lord, let me never tack a moral to
story. nor tell 4 story without a
nieaning."

She has two grown daughters, and IS
trying to marry them off the hardest

them introduced to rich men-yeS,
really. She isn't at all the sort OF
woman you'll care for. Lives beyond

"Over on the corner there is a house

For my part, think it is much better
to have a small family and give it the

course, Mrs. c. is all right, but no
woman can really keep herself up when
she has six children and keeps no

Determined TO Prejudice.
Every effort / made to change the

door neighbor, under cover of a kind
ness, had come into my new home be-
fore my furniture was placed to preju-
dice me against my neighbors, and
nothing seemed strong enough to turn
her from her purpose until l told her
frankly that must begin the putting of
my house in order, and wouldn't she
come in again at some other time.
Like shadow, the guidebook of the
neighborhood which she had laid open
for my inspection lay against my heart
all through that lonely day. when the
fog pressed heavy without and the con-
fusion of unpacked furniture created
depression within.

made some great mistake in the selec-

came over from the house on the cor

BeIasco-"Mrs. BumpGtead-Leigh.'
One Of the most welcoms events OF any

the art of this leader OF the American
stage. and there Is always, too, some
thing new in the medium chosen for the

been heard and read Of this new EFFORT
Of a new playwright, which kept New
York laughing throughout the engage

as no other play had done in years.
The play presents no problem, and Is as
far removed from the strictly intellectual

Mrs. Fiske's own work, broadly ana

completely from any that she has for

her practically unlimited artistic capac-

FIRST STEP TOWARD
ALL GOOD HEALTH
Is the Right knowledge of How
to Think.
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.


lady who writes me from a health re-
sort says:
THE sorrow and agony Of the world,
especially of the helpless women and
children affect me tremendously. and for
nearly seven years I have spent almost
all Of my time and money trying to
bring about that time when all sorrow
and suffering would cease.
"'Where the vision fades the people
perish and some OF us have to think IN
advance OF the times, else there would be
no progress.
You are as anxious as 1 am to lift
the heavy Earma' Of the world, SO you
will not think lightly of this.
Knew How to Think.
You and I know that nearly all sick
ness is caused by wrong physical habits,
and if the people knew how to eat, drink
exercise, breathe, and bathe there would
be little Of the devil left"
Yes, TO know how TO breathe and
bEthe, exercise, and then to do the things
one Knows are all steps toward the goal
OF health But to know how 10 think Is
the most important of all Wrong mental
habits cause all disease. for II the mental
habits are right they will include the
knowledge of right physical hablts.
When a man knows and has the knoWl-
edge FULLY stored in his mind that his
thought is the greatest possession he
has and the greatest power, then he Is
not liable to turn that thought into
f-deEtrUrt'ye channel
When Christ said, III tiny right hand
offend thee, cut il off, He was certainly
speaking in parallels. and He meant cut
of the thought thai caused the right
hand to offend
For with tne thought remaining tine
lsf hand could do all the mischief quite
ss well as the right
And without either hand The feet could
be trained to wrong doing L the mind
pro, lpted them.
The First Step.
Therefore the very first step toward
reforming the world OF sickness and sin
must come through training the mind
TO right thinking to sensible thinking.
and to understanding the scientific power
or thought.
Our schools and colleges are not doing
this for the Young. our churches are
Tot doing it. but our many metsphysi-
cal and thcosophical societies are do

MERITS OF BLACK

The relative merits of white and black

authorities declare that white pepper has
lost some Of the pungency Of the pepper

that evolves black pepper, for both white

same vine.
On the other hand. one OF the best.
though an early authority, says that the
white kind As produced under the name
of TclliCherry pepper is superior in aroma
and favor TO the black pepper, being
made from the best developed and largest
berries ON the vines, and there can be
no dispute a. to the white pepper being
preferred in those parts OF Europe where

How to Compare Them.
In comparing white and black pepper
the best grade OF each should be selected
for tho test. Puugency may be the prin-

white pepper makes its best appeal
through its superior flavor and aroma.
Some years ago a spice expert of inter
national reputation expressed the cHinioa
that the consumption OF white pepper in

bottom.
Negllgees appear with scalIoped fichus
OF messaIine de sole or sheer linen.
Dresses Of pongee or linen for children
are attractive with the yoke, sleeves. and
skirt finished with scalIops embroidered
with bright colored silk or linen.
A stunning evening gown OF bright blue
satin brocaded with blue velvet had a
short tunic OF mousselins de sole. This
was edged with a dull gold braid.
Tunics Of velvet appear upon many OF
the gowns OF mcusseline de sole.
Yellow, in all shades and tints, is ex-
ceedinGly fashionable. PaIest corn yell
low, amber. chamois, and mustard appear
in many designs.
For the tailored suit old gold and
khaki arc used. These are trimmed with
bands Of seal or skunk.
A pretty coIiarette was OF black chir-
fon and white lace. II was extremely
edged with q narrow fringe OF steel
beads.
Lovely separate blouses OF velvet and
chiffon are displayed. One OF white bro
caded velvet hal the yoke and under

A blouse Of dark blue satin was en-
broidered with scarlet silk. The design

The small draped toque retains its pop
ularity. One OF white velvet had long
white quill edged with seal placed at q
