This is a very dainty and chic way to
make a white silk crepe de chine. The
soft fullness of the gathered blouse with
lace trimmed skirt makes an effective
ensemble. Since beading is all the rage,
it may be used to decorate the blouse.

A.-YOu are right. We do need
better laws, and better execution
of the laws we have. Most of all,
we need the law of brotherhood
OF which you speak. Jesus, when
teaching, said: "If We love not
your brother whom We have seen,
how can ye love God?" No one
stands firmer for the brother
hood Of man than 1. The power
OF the Intelligence that Is back of
each of us embraces that brother
hood, and the more of IL we en-
brace, the better citizens we will
be, and the better laws we will
have.
Ii YOU had an example to work
In arithmetic, algebra or trigo-
nometry, you would not blame
the Principle of Mathematics be-
cause you failed to solve it,
would you? When 1 speak of God,
l do not mean a great, big person
away off somewhere who sends
both good and evil; but the In
telligence all around us that will
guide us to solve life's problems
just as the principle Of mathemat-
les helps us to work an example
i'm arithmetic.
There is something better
ahead for you in spite of your ex-
perience. As far as possible dwell
on every little bit of good you
know, or see, even i'm your enc
mics. DO not allow discourage
ment to defer you. II you don't
succeed once, keep trying until
You do. II 1 can help you let me
know.

my sorrow.
Five years ago at the sge
OF 10 l was confronted with

Breaking away from that
life of Giving death" at the

securing one position after

after my past became known,

sion that we need more than
Gods power to guide and
