MUST TAKE TIME TO REST
Development of Beauty Depends
Great Deal on That and on Ones

1t cannot be impressed upon us too
often that harmony of surroundings
is absolutely necessary to the devel-

soul quality for its inspiration and
growth. The soul quality dies unless
nurtured by such surroundings as are
pleasing.
Each personality must choose the col.
ors and shades that are most soothing.
Every woman cannot have her home
decorated just as she wishes But ev-
cry woman can have some one corner
that is her own that is decorated in
the colors and with the things (they
may be very simple and inexpensive)
that appeal to her. When she is tired
let her go to this corner and find rest

Luxury, when you think OF 1t, is not

I'm bad taste that the joy comes often

in view of the fact that meteorites
which convey information of world
wide Importance are sometimes dis
posed of privately in such a way as to
deprive the public Of this information.
the council be requested to take such
steps as may initiate international leg

Australian meeting this resolution has
been accepted by the council of the

SO SMITH DIDN'T GET 1T
Debtor Was Perfectly Willing TO Pay
Bill, and the Arrangement Salts
fled All Parties.

A very angry client entered New

upon a debtor and asked him politely
to pay a bill of $3.50, and had been
abused for his pains. Now he wanted
the lawyer to collect it.

so small that it would cost the whole
amount to collect It,

owe any $3.50. and he would not pay.

my instructions are to sue. But |

to stand suit for SO small a sum-"
"Who will get the money II 1 pay

The lawyer was obliged to confess
that he should.
