Indian Feast Is Served,


After the program in the assembly
hall the guests went upstairs, where
they partook of an Indian feast. Miss
Margaret Wilson, daughter of the
President, and for whom the social CEN
ter was named, was to have been pres
ent, but could not be because of a con-
ficting engagement.
Justice Siddons appealed to the par
ents to make the greatest possible use
of the schoolhouSes in their respective
neighborhoods. In this manner, ne
said, through community discussions
and the pursuit of community interests,
real education may be pursued much
farther than at present.
Too many parents, l rear, reel that
when their child has been graduated
from high school his education Is com
plete," said the speaker. This is not
true. Edcuation should contlne
throughout the lifetime.

women are more often guilty than
men. 1t causes. and is in turn caused
by pettiness.
Any interest that takes a woman
"out of herself is a wholesome one
for her. Actually, to go out into the
park and feed the squirrels might be
a sufficiently unusual benevolent pro-
ceding for a selfish and self-centered
person to mark the beginning of real
charitable enterprise.
Feeding the squirrels at least makes
your circle tiny jot broader than
merely clothing yourself like the
lilies of the field" and. though it is
not to be compared with looking
after a poor family for the Winter,
at least 1t points in that direction.
Every step you take along the rad
ius of a new circle that broadens out
toward doing for others gives you
at the circumference of that circle a
constantly widening horizon.
For jaded and world-weary spirit,
for a modern attack of nerves" for
all ailments of the type that generally
torium, try a rest cure" of a new
sort. Give your mind the restful,
soothing influence of taking it's vision
off the concentrated work and play
that lie close packed around your
own being.
Let your mental vision, like the
sight or your eyes, find it's relaxation
and peace in the mellowness, gentle
ness and unselfishness broad horizons
can bring.

is very dainty and very charming. IN
the back view, it is shown made of cotton
gabardine with stitched edges and the

a good one. For immediate wear, the

wool material, or the blouse could be
made of plain serge and worm over a
skirt of plaid. FQS the summer Crock,
there are linens, piques, and cotton pop
lins, cotton crepes and a generous number
ot other materials that are in every way
available. When the blouse is made with

When your eyes are very tired
from close application to reading or
writing or sewing, have you ever
tired resting them by looking out of
the window far away to the horizon? =?
There is nothing more soothing to
tired vision than this readjustment
of focus in the lenses of the eyes.
Most of us tire our minds by keep
ing them focused on the little things
narrowness of vision that cuts down
our lives into tiresome little slices
that are mere segments of the green
circle each OF us ought to have for
her world. Close at hand lie the inn
mediate questions of making living,
finding a little pleasure in life, cloth
ing ones self, getting three meals a
day and making friendships. The
sum of these small interests amounts
to getting through the day some
how"
The little round of daily tasks, if
those tasks center closely about you,
is Just as firing to mind and heart and
spirit as is a steady application to
sewing to the eyes.
As YOU rest your tired eyes by TAX
ing them from the work on which
they have been focused, rest your
tired spirit by giving it broad CEN
tral point of the circle where you
stand.
A narrow horizon with a small rad
ius of interests to measure the circle
of life is one of the fallings of which
