THE LIVABLENESS
AND JOY OF LIFE
How to Get "All that Is Coming to
You" of Pleasure and Things
Worth While.

Sometimes you are tired or discouraged
and the livabIeness of life doesn't impress
you. 1t is time then to go out and min
gle among your fellows, to sweep a mem
tai telescope over things as they are.
Your inspection shows you the world
is full, brimming full. of beautiful things.
There are friends, the whole wide world
Of nature, there are books, music, art,
literature. science and invention, not to
mention numberless other things. for US
to enjoy. Are you getting all that is
coming to you'' Of these? II not, the
fault is partly or entirely yours.
Are you responsive to the stimulating
influence of music literature, painting or
sculpture? If so. and you live in or near
some large city, they are yours to enjoy
without cost to you. Every city contains
fine museums and galleries that are free
to the public on at least two, IL not
every, day of the week. To roam through
one of these is to glimpse the beautiful Of
modern and classical art, to have your
pulses quickened by the cosmism OF life
1.-The glorious evidence that realization
often follows the anticipatory dream. The
reward of work well done makes life
sweet to live. That we can find pleasure
work of others and appreciating II. shows
US that happiness is something That must
be shared.
There never was such a thing as un-
shared happiness. The author of the
book that gives you pleasure may have
died years ago-yet you are sharing his
happiness, that which he experienced in
conceiving 1t. when You appreciate 1t.
This Is true of the music you enjoy-here
the performer or interpreter Of selection
also shares your pleasure in It.. It Is
SO with all things. Even when You would
commune with nature that communion
is but the sweetened collection of vision
ings from science, religion, poetry and
a1ectional associates-each and all of
which bear the impress Of a fellow NOR
tai. Happiness, that makes for the
livableness of life. is essentially thing
that must be shared.
II you are not getting 'all that's COM
ing to you Of the joy of Afe 1t Is because
you are not reaching out for 1t. The
world needs your companionship in some
form. Do not timidly loiter within your
self, lonely and unhappy. Every one of
us can add to the joy of life-reach out
in companionable activities-extend your
eager and lonely humanity. Get out and
view the activities of your fellows, and
it will cause you to find pleasure in all
your tasks-even those you think hard.

There are numerous ways for young
woman TO make money while on vaca-

Last summer q young college girl whose
health had given out determined to make
her good taste earn her board and per
haps lodging. After some correspondence
she hit upon q hotel manager who fell IN
with her plan Three meals a day were
to be supplied to her and In return she
was to arrange the flowers for the nu-
merous small tables throughout the hotel
dining-room and to supervise the flower
ARRANGEMENT In the writing-room. Her
natural talent had full scope and the un-
usual and effective arrangements she de-
vised were most fayorably commented on
by the guests.
A New York girl wanted to spend q
few quiet, unconventional weeks In the
country, and she had them. thanks to her
ingenuity. Her destination was q farm
house where they had a wonderful old
fashioned garden and also a pretty rosy
faced daughter Of sixteen. few miles
from the farm was a large. fashionable
hotel. Every morning the New York girl
made up q lot of fetching butonnieres Of

Decidedly successful was the girl who

her services she had her meals at the

TO SAVE WASHING
OF COUNTERPANES

All housekeepers know that the wash
ing of counterpanes Is a problem. They
are too heavy for those who do the
washing at home and are usually sent to
the laundry. The average laundry sends
them home looking very smooth and
white. but really ''whited sepuIchres. {"
They have been dipped into tubs OF
of line, which treatment soon causes
them to break. as these strong chemicals
eat the fiber. Not only this but spots
are never removed. In q few days they
begin to work up to the surface Now,
since this method of dong our counter
panes seems almost inevitable, the only
thing to do Is to wash them as seldom
as possible. How can this be done and
our beds kept i'm that state Of immacu-
late snowiness we all love? The solution
lies in the .dimity" spreads. In sum-
mer these delightfully."- cool and crinkly
coverings are not only lighter and more
comfortable than the heavy Marseilles
or honeycomb counterpanes, but are in
finitely more artistic and attractive. As
they are no heavier to handle than a
sheet they can be laundered at home
But in the winter or on formal oc-
casions the fringed or scalloped Mar
seilles spread seems to be de rigeur. II
you sleep under 1t 1t lis mussy in a
week-then, too. it is weighty without
warmth, an undesirable quality in bed
coverings.
Consequently, the thing to do is to use
both on the bed. sleeping under the
thin dimity spread and turning back
the heavy one over the footboard. where
it will not only be kept smooth and
clean, but will act as a screen from the
cold draughts of night air. In turning
back this spread be sure It il not care
lessly thrown oyer the footrail to drag
its extra length on the floor. Fold the
upper half down to the foot of the bed,
then throw it smoothly and carefully
over the footboard. II you are careful
to do this each night and II sitting on
the beds is forbidden, your laundry bills
will show a difference and your best
spreads" will last longer.

GAME OF wDowE.

Fifteen to twenty-five boys and girls
may play this jolly game. The Nnrst
thing to do 10 to choose partners and
stand In couples behind each other. One
player called widcwer stands in front

he calls last couple out, and immedi-
ately the last couple, running one TO
each side of the line, endeavor TO join
hands In front Of the widower. II sue

couple. and the widower again takes his
place In front Of the line and another
couple run from the end of the line when
he calls. II the widower tags some one.
that player becomes the Widower, and
the former widower returns to the head
Of the line with the other player. The
widower must not look around a. he calls
nor run back along the line of couples
