Health of the Mind,

To be made whole is to be healed In
both body and mind. Bodily healing
alone does not suffice, for unless there
is a change of mind also disease will
again manifest itself in some form IN
the body, and the second condition Of
the patient may become worse than
the first. On the other hand. change
Of mind is quickly manifested in the
body, and if we have been transform

change is quickly evidenced by the
restoration of the body to health and
harmony.-Unity.

Although the beginning Of the "cylin-
der Of civilization" as 1t has been
called, can be traced back to the Eliza
bethan era. 1t is only about seventy
or eighty years ago that the top hat
Of the present day reached its final
shape. Since then it has altered slight
ly In the dimensions of the crown and
the curl Of the brim. but the hat itself
has remained essentially unchanged.
The top hat seems to have had its be
ginning In the habit Of gallants in the
Enzabethan period Of cooking up one
side OF their broad brimmed, high
crowned felt or beaver hats and secur
ing them with Jewel. The French
court later developed this into cooking
up three sides Of the hat and fastening
Z one with a loop Of ribbon. From this
fashion came the cockade, now used
only by grooms and footmen. The silk
hat Of today was born in France and
supplanted the now nearly extinct
beaver hat Of practically the same
shape though considerably larger
London Standard.
