time he sends in his card partly no doubt in order that his name and possible bus mess may be made clear. but partly also because in olden days he who desired en- trance to palace or castle must send some token as warrant of peaceful intent
 This token was perhaps ring or some jewel known to the lord of the castle, which would serve as guarantee for the sincerity of it's bearer; in less artistic age the stranger who desires admission contents himself with a slip of pasteboarl whereupon his name is printed in black letters.
 The visiting card indeed is the undoubt- ed descendant of that ring or piece of parchment which often obtained for it's possessor admission into the medieval castle. Today the moat may be gone. the drawbridge, too, and armed retainers no longer peer over the battlements with arquebus or halberd in suspicious readi- ness, but the front door often acts as an efficient moat and retainers need not be armed in order to prove repellent.

Biologist Says Fish Remem-
 Der

The fact that fishes will return time after time to bite at sne hook by which they have been caught is often cited as proof that fish have no memories But Yves Delage. the great French biologist. has been making some experiments which seem to prove the contrary. He says that fish return to the hook because theii greediness is greater than the influence of their memory. If you place bright red disk upon a hook the fishes will cease to take it after being caught seven or eight times. If you cnange the color oi the disk the fish will return indefinitely. The red disk made an impression on the fish's memory-slowly, 1t is tNle-and when it recognized the danger signal t avoided it.

DOLLY DESCANTS UPON SUNDAY AS DAY OF REST Altogether UninspredNone
 eide For You What Do That Yourself

to take body that is so physically weary to church that one can't awaken the spirit sufficiently to listen to what the minister is saying.
 Sunday is a day of vest, but it fails in it's meaning altogether if we go back to our work on Monday morning all tired and uninspired and weary and worn.
 If we feel this way it is time for us to be casting our weather eye" about to see how we make mistake in spending that day. iisi The,' ancient" who started the old say ing, "Blue Monday" was no doubt man who spent Sunday in a way that left him unrested for his Monday morning duties.
 The little girl who said she just loved Sunday because it meant that lot of people always come to their house for such BIG breakfast, and then they all went out to dinner to grandmathers for BIG dinner and it was just like Christ mas and Thanksgiving, and then all of them went over to auntie's for a BIG Sunday night supper, told the truth whens she added. ''but 1t ain't no fun on Mondays. cause everybody gets ur mad
 | Was it any wonder, with three Thanks giving and Christmas meals in ONE | day that the following morning would find them all with the headache and a | 'grouch?''
 That certainly is no way to spend Sun day-the day of all days that was de- signed to give us a renewed lease on life | through a spiritual rest

If you work all week-and most men do--close to people and in such a stir/and stress that you haven't time enough to even think your own thoughts-then go away on Sunday, as far as you can from everybody and everything and take a mental inventory of yourself and see how the Balance Sheet of the Week stands but when you get home in the evening go

to church, and you'll see how much bet ter mar you are for going.
 When we go to church we should go in a spirit of worship and loving service; to give thanks and ask q blessing. To go simply because 1t is the accepted way to spend part of Sunday morning is no credit to you or any real benefit to anybody.
 And why Young Man" or poor tired business woman," should you designate Sunday as your ONLY day for going to church anyway?
 Most churches are open all the time, and as you go home in the evening, or on your way to work in the morning. ycI might step aside from the passing throng to ask blessing of peace and spiritual help for the day, which is always a harder day than Sunday. because it is a work day
 Is it right to go walking or driving on
 Sunday instead of going to church? | In my humble opinion. if person can go walking or driving and come back re- | freshed and with renewed strength to
 carry them through another week; If the
 clear, delicious wind has blown away l their irritability and left them in a state
 of good humor and peace and good will
 towards men and with renewed energy to
 cheerfully undertake the duties that are
 theirs on Monday morning and the rest
 of the workadav week, then go; but come | home and go to church that evening. h If the day REALLY did you good SPIR- | l1TUALLY you'll go to church some time before 1t is over, or on Monday, If 1t is
 only for a moment to bow your head be- | fore the God who made the great "Out-ol | Doors'' for His poor tired children, or some other day during the week. l No one can decide for you, "Young Man" Tired Business Woman" or you, or you. or you, what is right or what is wrong for you to do.
 YOU know how you should spend your Day of Rest, and everybody knows they ought to go to church and remember this. If you make 1t day of such confusing interest and excitement that Monday finds you worn out and hating the week before you, be sure you are NOT spending the seventh day in a way that really helps you SPIRITUALLY.
 You are not making it Day of Rest.

There are two letters on my desk as I

There are two letters on my desk as write
 One Is ffSm a person who signs him self Young Man" the other-well, we'll answer the Young Man" first
 He writes to ask if I think it is wicked not to go to church on Sunday, but in- stead to go out into the country and lie one ones back and rest up after the weeks hard work.
 He asks a good many other questions in i the naivest manner imaginable, and the letter resolves itself into more direct and personal questions that are not within the province of Mrs. Dolly to answer in these columns.
 His first question is very interesting and makes good food for thought
 A great many letters come to me ask ing practically the same thing.
 Now and then it is "a tired business woman who works down town from Monday morning until Saturday evening in a department store She is hungry and thirsty for the open country and the fresh air during the long, sultry, weary days of the summer. | If she followed her inclnations, she writes, she would arise with the first

 Now this is the way think about those things:
 Everybody ought to go to church--irst I suppose 1t is all right for the tired woman who works from Monday morning until Saturday evening to arise as early as she wishes and set forth on her jour ney on Sunday morning. It is very un- fortunate if she can't attend service some time during the day on the Sabbath, but she must be rested in spirit first, she thinks.
