Gated woman, as we commonly use the
term. l find her narrow and lacking
in vision. Few women whom ] meet
take deep interest in the important
questions of the day. They are bored
by any problem not Immediately re-
lated to their desires and ambitions.
Their conversation is trivial and err
ratio. They do not consider subject
long enough to find out that they know
nothing about 1t. How seldom does
college girl who has tasted philosophy
and studied history relate philosophy
and the chronicles of the past to the
terrific processes of life which are
making history every day? Her re-
puted practical judgment and swift
sympathy heriA - become imperative
in the presence of any question that
reaches to wide horizon. Her mind
works quickly so long as 1t follows a
traditional groove. Lift her out of it
and she becomes inert and without re-
source Such a woman comes to the
eravest responsibilities like the fool
isiI virgins who fastened to the mar
rage with no oil in their lamps. She
is not prepared for the battle of life
Before she knows 1t she may be in the
midst of the fight undisciplined and
disorganized, struggling for all that
Is precious to her against an enemy
whose position she has not reconnoiter-
ed. She sends her sons and daugh-
tiers into the streets of life without the
knowledge that protects. Ignorance
gives her confidence, and she is fear

Art of Receiving Compliments.

One of the first things a girl has to
learn is the art of receiving compli-
ments, neither approprlating nor dis
claiming them.
1t is sometimes difficult and to blush
is fatal.
oh, those youthful bushes! How dis
tressing they are to their vexed own
ers, and yet what charm they give
to ingenious girlhood.
The skillful complimenter embar-
raises no one, not even the shyest girl.
He knows how to convey an expires,
sion of his appreciation without exactly
saying 1t.
Such a man can flatter ones self
love quite sufficiently in merely say.
ing, "How well you lookr'
The tone and manner are eloquent
enough to supplement the poverty OF
the words, and their meagerness al.
lows the recipient Of the compliment
to accept 1t without embarrassment
A ford compliment makes a woman
look-or at least feel-a perfect goose
But they belong to a past age.

FOR THE cHILDREN's
THANKSGIVING DINNER.

If the bulk of your family
party is to be young children, do
not be overruled by tradition In
ordering the menu. A grooming
board may be historic, but 1t will
breed grooming youngsters and
shows little sense.
Do not stuff your children with
pies, doughnuts. oyster rolls.
pickles and rich sweets, even
though your mother and grand
mother always had them for
Thanksgiving.
Have simple corn soup. In
stead of the rich black bean sort,
and no fish, or, If you will not
omit this course, do not have
heavy salmon or lobster.
Let the turkey be the main
dish of the meal and see that the
children's portion is not too
large. There is no more indigest-
ible meat than turkey, especially
to the young. Mashed potatoes,
one other vegetable and cram
berries are enough with the ma
tlonal bird"
II you have salad let 1t be
crisp lettuce, garnlshed with
cream cheese balls and bar lie
due. Vanilla lee cream, with hot
chocolate or orange sauce, is
quite as palatable as very rich
nesselrode buildings and other
fancy ices.
At the close Of the dinner let
the children take short run ON
the porch or pavement IL they
are to stay for the rest of the
evening. This takes away their
stuffy feeling and keeps them
from getting so fretful.

How TO Res. Tired Nerves.

When the body is tired and the nerves
taxed to the limit a good salt rub will
do wonders. Have the tub half filled
with warm water, take handful or
sea salt, dip 1t In the bath and rub the
body from chin to toes. Use as much
salt ms you require. but rub gently at
first, After few baths the skin will
become accustomed to the rough salt.
Rinse Off with the salt bath and dry
with Turkish towel and lie down for
half an hour.

A LIVING TOWER.
Captain Meeker's Unique Idea In tho
Buildins Line.

Building Line.
What is known MS the diving tow
err" says writer In the Wide World
Magazine, stands on the very summit
of hill more than 200 feet high at
Camp Meeker, a summer resort In So
mona county, Cal. 1t was Captain
Meeker, an old pioneer, who first con.
celved the idea OF building tower on
the very summit of n high hill near his
hotel, and while looking around one
day for suitable site he found four
young redwood trees standing about
twelve feet apart, representing per
feet square. The trees We're each
about $50 feet high Fifty feet of each
top was Topped off, and the work of
building six stories was then com.
menced. From top to bottom the liv
ing tower was a hundred feet high.
Each floor is about II by IL feet and
rests on strong timbers, the ends of
which are securely attached to the four
trees by means of steel cables and
bolts So strongly was every part
braced that the whole structure does
not move as much as one would natu-
rally suppose. even when rocked by
heavy winds. In the building great
care was taken by the workmen to cut
only the branches growing on the in
side of the square, and the trees were
not chopped. mutilated or weakened
any more than could be avoided.
Leading up from each story arc
broad stalrways, so that one may as
cend and descend with ease and per
feet safety. while around the edge OF
each floor are strong ratings to pre-
vent accidents. Since this tower was
completed the trees have grown and
tlourished just as well as before. This
living tower Is claimed to be the only
one of its kind I'm the world.
