NO LIFE NEED BE EMPTY
New Joys and New Life Can Always
Be Found to Take the Place
of Those Lost.

Did you ever walk down street
where many pretty homes and we'll
kept gardens could be seen and come
suddenly face to face with an empty
house, writes liargaret Wilkinson.
Did you not find the contrast some
thing painful?
You had been passing many houses
that showed unmistakable signs Of
life. There were curtains In the win
dow, perhaps a baby carriage or the
children's toys on the veralda, the
lawns were well kept. the flower beds
were full of blossoms Perhaps you
could even see a dear, white-haired
old lady in a parlor or sitting room as
you passed-or in another home you
caught glimpse of small boy with
a large doughnut in his land-or a
mother talking to her baby as she
lifted it from the floor
And then you came to the empty
house. The windows were bare and
dirty and there was no vista beyond
them but blank walls. The walls were
stained and streaked with mud that
naughty little boys had thrown. The
weeds were rank and thick In the
lawn and in the flower beds. The house
was no longer home of human life
The life that was in 1t had gone out
and forgotten it.
Some lives are like empty houses.
The humanity, the inspiration and the
soul have gone out of them. Perhaps
there has been a great disappointment
and the new tenant has not been found
to take the place of the old-the new
joy instead Of the one that could not
be had, the new work that would have
meant success instead of the old work
that did mean failure And so the
eyes that the soul should shine
through are lusterless and vacant.
The beauty that should abide within
and be seen from without is not here.
The stains Of sorrow and cynicism are
not wiped away. The weeds Of dis
couragement and doubt and hesitation
and fear have choked the kindly
growths that make home garden for
the personality to dwell in.
But there is no empty house that
cannot be made into a home. If some
one will go and take into 1t the hui
mainly and the life. There is 20 life
that cannot find new work and new
JOY and become habitation for the
soul Of a man or woman to shine
through and to fulfill

PLEASING orIental custom.

An oriental custom still in use is to
perfume guestrooms with sweet odors,
and when the guest arrives he is
sprinkled with rose water in olden
times it used to be customary to fol-
low up the sprinkling process with
incense rubbed on the hands and face.
This ceremony is repeated at the de-
parture of the guest.

Rolfe Ditson swung on his way with

beauty and goodness. AS to Minna,
she could not get that strong intel

His first call led to second. These
two were fast approaching state

The point is that Mary still owns
Mary and John is still the owner of
John.
But did you ever notice how some
folks change their dispositions after
some man has said the words that tie
them together for better or for worse,
until death do you part, etc?
At that stage of the game love is
a good deal like friendship. We are
all particular not to go too far in self
ishness in our relation with our
friends. There is no legal tie, you
know; and it is easy for friends to
part. Each owns himself and the tie
is one of free will on both sides.
Either may break the friendly part
nership any minute he feels like it.
But if often happens that when
some words are mumbled over and
the tie is made legally binding, so that
lawyers and judges would say there
was no flaw in the title of each to. the
other, one of the parties to the con-
tract goes on the assumption that he
or she can go the human limit and
get away with it.
1 sometimes think that husbands
could be happy if they could be
friends in spite of the fact that they
are legally married.
The marriage license was never in
tended to be merely legal license to
fight.

A wife makes the best pal on earth if
you give her an even break and never
get over being a lover.

prominent in church work and was
man of good character.
The district attorney told the
court that ten other women had iden-
titled Mendel as the man who had
robbed them as he had the woman
referred to.
Undoubtedly all of the. witnesses
told the truth. The business men
and ministers testified to the good
character of the Mendel they knew,
and the women told of the Mendel
who had robbed them.
However, it does not appear that
Mendel was q good business men,
even if ne was prominent in church
work. Had he been a good business
man he would have found it easier
and much safer to branch out into
some business where he could rob
women successfully and according to
law Dy paying them SLdrVaIlOn wages.
Trying to outrage women in
railroad yard and then swiping her
iewelry wasn't good business. 1t
was course work.
AS for the two Mendels, one the
robber and the other the good Chris
tian, or Jew, there's nothing unusual
about that. Nearly every men is at
Some men have two homes.
The news story doesn't tell what
business Mendel happened to be in,
but with his inclination he should
