A failure now and then will add
to your joy when you overcome it.
Avoid the cigarette, the cocktail,
the lobster a la Newberg, the
mince pie, the dress suit and the
rustic of silk petticoats. Do not
be too anxious about annexing
more money than you need, but
annex all the joy you can as you
60 through life by feeling and
knowing that you are free-that
you are liberating your forces in a
labor that is done as you wish to
do it. God had ordained but one
way for you to be somebody, and
that way is to be YOURSELF
and use common sense.

TO PENETRATE CONGO JUNGLES

No American woman, however
strenuous, rivals the duchess of Aosta
when 1t comes to delight In varied and
dangerous undertakings. Just as pres

she will spend In African jungles
hunting big game. Her only compan-
ion will be native boy whom she
brought back to her home in Naples
three years ago from Africa. She
will penetrate into the wilderness
with this dusky youth as her guide
Only such baggage will be taken along
as the boy can carry on his back
The costume of the intrepid and novel
ty-loving duchess will consist of leath-
er breaches and rough shooting coat,
with which she will wear heavy top
boots of strong leather, made especial
ly for tramping in the forests. She
has not explained, even to her family,
all the details of her undertaking. as
she declares that she herself does not
know them. She fully intends. how

Queer Rowing Costumes.

English rowing men century ago
wore costumes far different from what
they wear now. In 1906 1t was the
correct thing for them to wear a
green leather catskin cap with jack
ct and trousers of nankeen. In the
first university race at Henley in 1929
Oxford won wearing blue checks,
while Cambridge was in white with
pink waistcoats. Broad brimmed
heavy straw hats came in a little

when l was growing lad, and came
upon many words in my reading that

stead of giving me the definition when

way I gradually learned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in question -among other things,
how to use dictionary, and the great
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the use of the dictionary.
Afterwards, when went to the village
school, my chief diversion, after les

were recited, was in turning over the
pages of the Unabridged Of those

beer and seemed to want TO share

Every time n bibulous one made
sally for the benefit OF the cabaret

and mirthless smile. betraying her
pitiful hope that some one would
notice her and consider her at least
part OF the throng.
Near the old woman sat four
young people. The two girls we're

not see the old woman. or. II they
did. they paid no attention TO her.
But the old woman could not keep

image OF her own girlhood.
