OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN

in a company of people intent upon
gossip. 1t is not a difficult mat

individual themes to one of univer-
sal interest.
A host in a private home who
had grown tired of the rather aim

ber bring san. item of scientific or
historical interest to embellish the
dinner hour. This suggestion was

all concerned.

less liable to provoke unpleasant
results than giving this proclivity
reign with ones personal acquaint-

To build up ones health by
breathing fresh air and eating pure
food is not the only object to be
sought in n summer vacation.
To avoid bad company, cheap
habits of conduct, unwholesome and
unworthy topics of conversation is
quite as important as to avoid bad
air in city offices. There are scores
of women who have returned home
from summer hotels declaring they
have had 4 most glorious season,
yet who have left behind them a trail
of idle gossip and meaningless chat
ter; women who have done nothing
to increase the respect Tor woman
kind, nothing which has cheered

any human being who came within
their radius. Are you one of these?

Now that the summer season is
ended and you are at home again,
suppose you make mental inventory
of the past three months and see
what you have accomplished with
yourself and life.
What did you do with your sum-
mer vacation? Did you add to your
store of knowledge in any way? Did
you lay a foundation for better
health, better work, greater usetul-
ness and greater happiness?
Did you read anything OF Value
and did you think any worth whlie
thoughts? Did you leave the people
with whom you associated happier
more hopeful and more ambitious
to emulate your example, and dlu
you add, in any way. to their respect
for human nature by the examples
you set them?
There are people who feel that
they are taking vacation when
they eat and drink to excess and
pass all their leisure moments In
gossip and criticism. Nothing
could be more depressing to one who
has the interests of humanity at
heart than to listen to the CONVEX
sation of bevies of smartly dressed
men and women on hotel verandas
in the summer season. Idle gossip,
malicious criticism, trivial chatter
prevail, as a rule, in such places.
Many a young woman's character
has been torn to pieces and many
an ugly untruthful scandal has
been set afioat by men and women
at summer resorts who believe
themselves to be good Christians
and who return home to be faithful
attendants at some established
church of Christ. There are so
many interesting subjects of con-
versation to occupy our minds out
side of the faults, failings and
foibles of our fellow-creatures
Before you go away on your sum
mer vacation next year it might be
we'll to plan out little course of
procedure. and to make a few resolu-
tions First of all. resolve that
you will not enter into any CONVEX
sation which lowers the moral tone
of those who participate or who
listen, and that you will indulge in
no criticism of anyone who is
