Do You Enjoy What You Have?

What's become of the walkin g enthusiasm which animated us
only a few years ago? Has it died out entirely? Have W slumped
back into sitting O our should err blades and acquiring dyspepsia?
Have so many Of us been able to buy automobiles that all our
energy is consumed in steering them n getting fine wrinkles about
u eyes squirting against the sunlight?
Walking never ruined complexions like automobiing. In fact. a
sensible walk is the best toner up the finest al-round tonic and
beauty help that any doctor or beauty expert ca recommend; and
it's ST cheap!
Somehow. too, n IAN enjoy things s. much more when walk
ing than when whizzing along a road. One al see each individual
flower by the waysde and sni IF its fragrance-maybe stop and
pluck a spray to be fastened In a convenient buttonhole
grasses and send the erasshopp ers flying; Or n can explore an
inviting wood, where the feet sink deep into soft moss and where
little surprises in plant life and bird life await the exeursoner.
One contented to sit at home II to ride around in a machine
our grandfatheIs made and of Which there r still a few about the
country; and he doesn't know w hat 1t means to wander beside a bit
of a brook, following its curious twists, sometimes leaping from
stone to stone, and presently di scovering the old spring with a
bucket of milk cooling in 1T.
1t is impossible to gain a real intimacy with nature when flashing
by in an automobile. The mind isn't attuned to it. The thoughts
are concentrated upon the handling of the machine and upon get
ting there" There is not that feeling of aloneness with something
big and wonderful and yet very close ana dear.
To be sure more ground is covered. Distances are achieved and
in a fvemne strol-a wilful wandering about roads and fields and
woods-han in any ttirty-fve mile dash between towns.
~ When 1 think Of the blessin gs W e have close at hand, eve If
we're not blessed with much of mundane cash, l wonder that so
many of III persist in being dis contented.
? Happiness consists really in. ENJOYING that which we. have and
in recognizing how much w e ha ve. The poorest of is has the roads
to walk in and the right to look at the results Of others wealth and
enjoy them.
It costs nothing to walk thro ugh the parks. to live under a tree,
and watch saucy little white clouds scuddfng across the sky.
We don't have to pay any fee to walk along the outside of the
high iron fence that ncloses the mansion and beautiful grounds of
old Gotrox. It's ours for the looking at it, and we don't have to
worry about the expense of keeping it up

Book on English Literature

My lear Miss Doom:
Can you kindly let me know where
to purchase a book describing English
literature in full? Thanking YOU in
advance. Yours truly, ID. F.
There are a great many good books
on English literature. The best thing
for you to do will be TO go to the
library, look Owe the collection there,
decide which one meets your require
ments, and send to the publisher for
It. If you wish the book for
study purposes you will require one
designed for the purpose and not
simply for reading matter. For in
stance, if you are preparing for en-
examination a statement OF facts will
meet your requirements, whereas if
you wish to be entertained as well as
instructed an amplifcation of these
facts will be more to your liking.
In this case l think you and the
reference librarian will be able to ac-
complish more than | can without
sufficient knowledge of your require
ments.

BY MAY MANTON
FOR EARLY SCHOOL DAYS

Autumn school days bring he de-
mand for pretty, simple frocks OF
light material, for the weather is still
mild. This one shows a modification
of the favorite sailor idea. The blouse
is made with the kimono sleeves that
are always pretty and that retain all
their smartness; consequently, it
means very little labor. The straight
skirt is laid in straight plaits that
give a slender effect yet allow perfect
freedom. Later the dress can be
made with a high shield and long
sleeves, but for a good many weeks
the treatment illustrated will be the
better. AS shown. the material is
plain blue linen with trimming Of
stripes, and linen and other washable
materials are liked for school wear
throughout the autumn; but the dress
is well adapted to serge and other
wool materials. The closing Is made
for the full length at the back and
the collar is buttoned into place.
Fol the 10-year size the dress will
require Az yards of material 81. 1
yards Sc or 2ss yards "A inches wide,
with 7s-yard of material 81 inches
wide for the trimming.
The May Manton pattern of the
dress 716S is cut In sizes for girls from
s to Il years of age. 1t will be mailed
to any address by the fashion DEPART
ment of this paper on receipt of ten
cents.

Treatment for BIackheads and
PimpIes

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you kindly tell mi if there Is
any remedy to assist me in getting
rid of blackheads? Also let me know
as soon as possible If there is any
face specialist who is particularly

The greatest preventive Of black
heads is absolute cleanliness. Every
night before going to bed wash the
face with a complexion brush, hot
water and a good oar. Rinse in hot
water and while the pores are still
open massage the face for fifteen
minutes with a good cold cream. Re
move the cream with a soft cloth,
then wash in tepid water and rinse
in cold water to which a few drops
of benzoin nave been added.
The green soap treatment is highly
recommended for removing black

Billie Burke Says:
I'VE CAN KEEP YOUNG AND | KNOW How
BY BILLIE BURKE.

THE FIRST woRD-The bes, of women n always
young. for kind hearts never lose the sweetness and bloom
I always consider 1T a great compliment when some
one speaks CT my youthfulness. There is an irresistibe
glamour about youth. Sometimes one is slow to realize 1t.
but sooner or later we all come to acknowledge, In our in
most selves at least. that wise people are all replicas of
Ponce de Leon, ever in quest Of waters which have the
magic properties of warding off old age.
But there is youth and youth. Nobody particularly adj
mires the youth that is callow. the youth that is unripe,
unless it holds promise of better things. But the youth
that wins you and me and all the world is the youth which
is born of and not spoiled by experience, and it comes
after maturity; it is youth which makes us as gods, know
ing good and evil Youth is not a matter of years. nor
lack of years. and, alas, it cannot be obtained through the
media of scented soaps face creams eymnasiums ana
beauty doctors-it is a thing of the soul.
Youth is not Peter Pan-the boy that never grows up
charming though he is; rather 1t is he who, having grown
up, retains the freshness and wholesomeness of the boy.
Youth is the Characteristic of the man and woman who
glorious boyhood and girlhood.
We can all keep young-bissfully, perennia1y young.
Our faces may lose their fulness of outline, but nothing
need ever destroy the freshness of our outlook on life nor
the sweetness of our smile. And never until the verge of
eternity is before us need the light die out of our eyes.
1t is o fine art-this keeping young, and it's not to be
had save at great price. We must rid ourselves of petty
grudges, small prejudices, little vices. borrowed worries
and untold woes. 1t means the ruthless and impartial
slaughter of the little foxes that destroy the vineyard of
our peace. 1t means confidence in our fellow men and fei-
low women.
You end I will only be young while our souls are young
and our souls are young only when they are clean and
charitable, trusting and sincere.
We all know some few enviable men and women, who,
despite the passing of years and the racking of labor, re-
tain the freshness and spontaneity, the sweetness and fas-
cination of youth. Their hearts are young. We find balm
in their presence, JOY in their smiles, inspiration In their
touch. To that chosen company it Is our duty and right
TO belong. There is no room in this world for the victims
of self pity, the grumblers, the seandal-mongers.
JUST ONE LAST WORDING can keep young. The
recipe Is yer at hand, and q her who VIII strive NaIanty
shall be given this crown of life.
