Place the most literally educated
president of the highest institution of
learning alone on desert island, and.
If he lives, he will soon become more
animal than man, perhaps crawling
on all fours, forgetting his native
tongue, and becoming intellectually
below the domestic dog in intelli-
gence. He will even forget how to
talk to himself.
By ourselves we amount to prac-
tically nothing.
Although the human brain does not
lack individuality; it is prominently
a receptacle for the storage of what
comes to it from the outside. Not
what we possess, but what we obtain
from others, Or, to put it differently,
what we collectively receive by ex-
changing experiences with others,
rounds out a man and lifts him be-
yond the animal.
Man, collectively, is almost all-pow-
erful; to him impossibility does not
seem to exist. Individually, he is, or
would be, worthless product.
One Of the principal causes of fail
ure is the tendency to live too much
within ourselves, to depend upon our
selves, to judge for ourselves.
am not asking anyone to give up
his individuality, or to allow others to
dictate his every action, but 1 am
saying to you, young man, and to you,
young woman, that, if you would
round yourself out in usefulness. and
obtain a character and a reputation
you must depend upon others, ex
changing your ideas for those of 9th
ers, giving and taking, drawing from
the great world at large all that il
can give you, or, rather, all that you
can take Of it.
There is no other way.
The more friends you have, the
moro you mix intelligently with others
the more you get together, the more
you will amount to- You will not for
felt your individuality, but, rather
you will combine it with that of 9th
ers, making exchanges, swapping ex
periences.
Depending upon yourself is laudablt
and to be encouraged, but when yol
carry that self-dependence to the ex
treme, ycu will find that you have
nothing back of you which will sus
tain you, even in small emergencies.
You need companions, companion;

Asbestos.

Most of us know little more of as
bestos, the strange rock fiber that is
almost as soft and pliable as cotton
or woolen fabric, than that it is used
in making fireproof theater curtains.
In other ways it is fast coming into
use as "safety-frst' building ma
terial. Not only does it protect against
fire, says the Youths Companion, but
It is also a nonconductor Of heat, and
Isl therefore useful in preserving an
even temperature. Most Of what we

sentatives in the Sixty-frst, Sixty-sec-

The Spanish influence in fashions of
the day is more evident in evening
gowns than in others, although it
may be detected everywhere. A model
recently shown by a famous New
York house developed the idea in the
cleverest way in an evening gown
made of fesh-colored satin and
canary-colored tulle. The skirt was
full, round and short, cut true to the
original form, and two wide bands of
gold applique and rose brocade
adorned it. One of them raj placed
at the height of the knee and the
other halfway between this and the
girdle, which was of the same band
ing. The bodice was merely a baby
waist of the satin.
The canary tulle yelled the skirt
with a full overskirt, cascaded at each

Out of one boot shot something that
had been white. Now it was dirty,
wrinkled and twisted. Jimmy grabbed
it and tore away the outside. well,
I'll use this old letter for a kite, if l
can't get mine. Where's that string I
had?"
The creek and boots were forgotten.
Jimmie, still in midnight attire, defied
the proprieties and the toothache, by
dancing gleefully all over the farm
with his homemade kite.
Over in the Hampstead yard Mary
was bordering about the look of mis-
cry in Dick Randall's eyes as she had
passed him. 1t was almost time to
feed the chickens, and she started for
the granary.
What in the world could that be
tearing along the fence and yelling at
something in the air?
Sharp of wits and speedy of limb,
Mary SOC had little Jimmy in her
arms. She wrapped her apron about
him and carried him back to her
house, the kite training on the ground.
BLESS his heart, he's got a letter for
a kite" said her mother. Mary grab
bed it up suddenly.
Jimmie, where did you get this?"
"Out of Uncle Ned's boots" he gig
gled. II just found It'll"
Mary made suddenly for the door. A
few minutes later Dick heard the
twigs breaking near him, but did not
look around. 1t mattered little who
was coming.
Suddenly two soft, warm hands COW
cred his eyes and Mary's own sweet
voice whispered.
Guess who it isl"
Bewildered, he reached up and
touched her hands.
I've come" she cried gayly, re-
leasing him, ito deliver some belated
mail, and after all l think I'm glad
you didn't get my letter until now.

ME just found it in Ned's old boot.
He must have dropped it there when
he was carrying the mail to the house
h day it came, and here I've been
wondering and wondering why"
But Dick had heard enough. Just
what Mary had been wondering didn't
matter half SO much just then as the
seal ne put upon her willing lips.

The bodice is cut on the same simple
plan as in the gown just described,
with a girdle shaped in the same way.
Chiffon roses, tied with narrow velvet
ribbon make a pretty finish at the
waist, and folded tulle is set in the
neck and sleeves.
A small fan and a rose in the hair,
worn with this lovely gown, add just
the right finishing touches to give the
toilet an enticing flavor of old Spain.

which a rose made of the coral ribbon
is set.
At the right a turban is draped
with plain blue velvet and Roman
striped plush, and trimmed with a
band of dark hackle feathers in bronze
and iridescent colorings. The scarf
is made of the plush and lined with
plain blue silk.
Fur is SO universally used in winter
millinery that it has been an easy
matter for the designer to fashion
t~hree-piece sets, consisting of hat,
n~eckpiece, and muff employing velvet
and fur in combination. These sets
are very smart with tailored suits.
The hats are usually small and SO
are the muffs. The neckpieces are
high and few of them are much longer
than necessary to reach comfortably
around the neck.
The Penn's Grove record., 1915-12-24

The story of this winters styles in
millinery will soon be closed to make
way for that of the styles designed
for tourists wear. Palm Beach has
bestowed it's w~orld-famous name on
this class of hats and they are inter
esting in themselves, and as harbin-
gers of spring, whose influence will be
felt in its modes. But the millinery
of the hour displays the high standard
that was set for harmony by the intro
duction of the hat with neckpiece to
match, and now to these is added the
veil to match also.
Neckpieces to be worn with mid
terial appearing in them and take the
form of ruffs, boas, or scarfs, with the
preponderence of favor given to ruffs.
An example of each of them appears
in the group of matched sets shown in

NEW ARCHBISHOP OF CHICAGO

Rt. Rev. Mgr. George w. Munde-
Iein, S. T. D., the newly appointed
archbishop Of the diocese of Chica-
60, is only forty-three years old. He
is deeply learned in e~cclesiastic lore

the literary lights of the Catholic
world. He was born in Brooklyn in
1872 and comes of an old American
family, his maternal grandfather hav-

Civil war.
Bishop Mundelein finished his pre-
liminary education in Manhattan

THE LOST LETTER
BY CLARA HREVooRT.

Uncle Dick listened for a minute at
the foot of the stairs. At last Jimmie
was asleep: Evidently the hot water
bottle and toothache medicine a
done their work, for the means anu
eroans had stopped. Jimmie's mother
had slipped away a few minutes De

Dick an answer in that letter mes

The front door stood open and the
breeze came in soft and warm from
the south. The sun, too, was as brlgnt
and the sky as blue as June.
Near the shed door stood an dc
fishing rod. Dick walked over ana
picked it up. The soft wind and blue
sky and the whole outdoors were cali-
ing him toward the river.
Jimmie and his toothache were for
gotten while he made his way down
the muddy road with the fishing rod
over his shoulder and a bucket of bait
In his hand.
AS he turned off the road to go
through the broken place in the Hemp
stead's fence, and thence through the
hickory grove toward the river, he
heard a horse behind him. He turned
and looked straight into the startled
blue eyes of Mary Hampstead. But
while he stood paralyzed, the look n
the blue eyes changed instantly to
one of contempt as her horse gal
loped by.
Mary home! Could it really be the
girl who had teasingly promised him
his answer in the first letter on her
visit West.
He turned blindly toward the river
and when he finally reached the place
threw himself down dejectedly on a
rock and tried to think.
Meanwhile, Jimmie had a nice COM

CAPTAIN BOY-ED, TURK

Since Capt. Karl Boyd, naval
~Attache of the German embassy at
Washington until President Wilson
demanded his recall for improper ac-
t~ivities, became prominent in the pub
lie prints, many persons have COM
mented on his peculiarly un-Teutonic
name. The fact is he is of Turkish
descent, for his father was Karl Boy
Ed, a Turkish wholesale merchant
who lived in Germany. His mother,
however, is a German and the most
popular woman novelist of that coun-
try.
Captain Boyd is not only a naval
officer and a diplomat, but also a Ia
dies man, an athlete. a club man and
a litterateur. The clubs and drawing
rooms of Washington and other east
ern cities saw much of him before the
war broke out, and he was looked on
as a quiet and affable society a

honor. The academy is a purely literary body of the church. At its meet
