For honor is more than pelf.

To hold him true, with a heart in

MOTHERS DAY.

How slow we are to prove
The height and depth and deathless-
ness of perfect mother love?
We take her tender daily care, just as

Look up to God for daily light, be-
cause we know tits ours.
But when we miss, from heart and
life, the comfort of her care,
Then we must learn to live without
her present and her prayer.

us a lovely thing,
And lowering low. me seem to feel the

Dear Mrs Thonpson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a wom-
black hair. / wanted to have all gray
hair and I took peroxide and put It
on my hair and that made some of 1t
red. Now would you please tell me
how 1 could make it all gray, for 1
now have three different colors of hair,
red, black and gray?
ANXIOUS.
You can continue the peroxide treat
n.ent until the hair is ell white, but it
will coarsen the hair and you will have
to keep up the treatment all the time
or it will show block at the roots
Lemon juice will also bleach It and
think it is less harmful than peroxide
Use soda or borax when washing the
hair and in the final rinse water put
a few drops of bluing.

This is the second time I have taken
him back. Before he left he said we
would be together again within a

him again. When I first met this
young man I thought there was no one
like him, but of late I found out what
wouldn't melt in his mouth. (3)
