When we see some wild Indian proudly
strutting about with an eagles plume
stuck in his hair we smile at his child
ish vanity, which makes him ridiculous
to civilized eyes. And yet we indulge
in the same petty vanity when we cover
hats with feathers torn from wild fowl
How pitful is the instinct which makes
us say to the tropical bird, flashing and
cleaning through the checker OF sun
shine and shadow; "Herel give me that
beautiful dress. ] want to wear IL my

and then cast their malmed victims aside

they slowly starve albetTosses to death
in order TO remove the fat from theiI

Lack of Love in Churches

OF course I cannot prove that there is a
God or a hereafter, but l do most GER
talnly know that in very practical way
prayer has helped me. Tell the girls that
II they ever get where they are helpless
and can do nothing there Ia one thing
still they can do-pray. Tell them to try,
and see IL they are not helped"
This request is an easy one with which
to comply. for the writer Of this article
has a profound faith in the efficacy Of
prayer, based on personal experiences.
Not the prayer which takes the form
of directions to the Great Creator how to
run His universe, and what special boons
and fayors to bestow upon individuals,
but the prayer which asks for MORO
LIGHT to see the right path; MORE
FAITH TO make possible the bridging Of
yawning chasms. and MORE STRENGTH
to employ in acknowledgements
The earnest cry of "show me the way"
in troubled times, and sense of utterly
abandoning the moral mind to the invis-
ible. Helpers and leaving 1t to them to
indicate the path, will as surely lead the
one who 50 cries out into safety as the
needle will show the mariner the north
star
There are guardians in the invisible
realms who are given the privilege of
watching over earth beings. II is not
their work. to direct or manage our lives
because that would prevent our own de-
velopment of judgment, self-control
analysis Of motives. and all the other
misunderstanding qualities which we are
expected to use here on earth but our
guardians stand ever ready TO come when
we call. and give us new strength and
more light, and to help us realize our
highest ideals.
But we must work as we'll as pray to
attain these ideals 'or anything which
seems desirable to U.S.
Prayer doubles the efficiency of work,
and prayer opens doors to new and won
derful experiences undreamed of by the
unpraying toiler. Prayer refines the per-
ceptions and gives us insight and helps
us discover ways and means to the at
| tainment Of our desires which mere plod-
ding. persistent labor would never dis
cover.
A prayer without a deed is an arrow
without a bowstring.
A deed without a prayer is a bowstring
without an arrow.
The heart of a man should be like a
culver full of arrows
And the hand of a man should be like
strong bow strung for action.
The heart of man should keep his
arrows ever ascending
And the hand and the mind Of a man
should keep at work unending.

The Dream Lady
BY CONSTANCE CLARKE.

By CONSTANCE CLARKE.
She comes alone, out OF a tired pale sky
Lit here and there with stars, and passing by
Stirs into quiverng ecstasy the night
Where those who wait may watch her out of sight,
Heaped in her arm she holds her preciaus store
OF dreams-dreams for the sorrowful, the sore,
A respite from nights agony OF hours
Breathed in with scents of sumberous poppy flowers.
Then, who will buy? Her price is not too much
Perchance the memory of a tender touch
Will buy one, though at dawn awake you start
Tear-wet, pan-wracked with wildly beating heart
To drag out interminable day.
And yet the dream is worth it, who will pay?

~Beouty lessons

The Hnid and scaIp-Part vi.
From preceding lessons you have
learned the reason and value OF scalp
massage IL invigorates and improves
the circulation of the caplllaries that
feed the hair roots. looEcns the scalp and
promotes and makes normal the activity
OF the oil ducts To get the best results
from scalp massage study the following
three exercises and do them at least five
minutes every night. and for a longer
period after a shampoo.
Begin the movements with the hair line
over the forehead. Place the four fingers
OF the hands lightly on tho scalp with
backs parallel and thumbs three inches
further back. Hold the thumbs firmly 60
the head and rotate the eight fingers in
little circles. not permitting them to move
on the scalp. but to move the scalp over
the bony structure beneath. Move the
fingers and thumbs little further along
and repeat the movement until the entire
scalp has been treated.
Follow this by moistening the fingers
with vaseline, hair tonic or whatever
preparation you are using on the, hair
and repeating the same movement with
out using the thumbs. BE careful In doing
these movements that your fingers are
on tho scalp. not on the hair.
The third movement is to loosen the
scalp from the skull. Place the fingers OF
both hands firmly on the scalp about an
inc hap0rt; hold the scalp firmly with
these fingers and the ball of the hand;
now move the scalp by bringing the fin
gers and ball an deach hand closer 10
each other. Repeat with considerable
vigor several times, Move the hands
along and repeat the operation until the
entire scalp has been treated.

Until Secretary Garrison has another

cerning the kind of marble to be used

to which of the four marbles decided
