Rupolmg Awoy from Yourself

She managed, it is true, to conquer
her longing for the man who had de-
ceived her, but she became frightfully
cynical and unhappy, and in her heart
grew grave sdoubt as to her ability
to attract the right sort of man. She
began to think OF herself as fore
doomed to suffer unhappiness and dis
appointment in love.
1t had never occurred to her to turn
bravely and face the situation. And
then, for a third time, love came into
her life, and for a third time she met
with disloyalty. This time she went
to work. Her one ability lay in de-
signing clever hats. At the end of
two years she had very smart shop
and great deal Of respect for herself
as young woman who could make
place for herself in the world of
work.
Recently she said to me the words
that inspired this article: mo mat
ter how far away am from the scene
of my suffering, the memory of it
came with me-for it was part of me.
But when l stayed right there and
faced the trouble, and determined to
conquer myself, I succeeded. Good
times and change of scene didn't help
me at all. Work did. When | filled
my mind with thoughts that centered
on effort and success it just hadn't
any more room for bitterness or
doubt or cyncism."
Trouble is not what happens to you
it is the effect that happening has
on you. Whine or whimper or try to
run away and show that you are a
coward who wants to dodge the issue
and that bully Trouble comes after
and torments you. Turn and face
him and, like all DULLES, he runs away.
And then, of course, you need not be
so silly as to run after him.
Whenever. there is suffering to b.
met take a. Arm stand and fight it out
on the spot. What you have to con-
quer is your own fear and your own
morbidness. And however hard the
task, it can be done by anyone who is
determined to do it and who sets
about learning sanity and self-control
with the grim feeling that she has a
problem to solve and intends to solve
It.

When You PlnN to Entertain

butus. Tie 4 ribbon to- the handle
OF each basket. The menu should
follow the color scheme as far as
possible.
A tall vase Of apple blossoms or a
glass basket of sweet peas with pink
tulle bow tied to the handle is very
effective for a pink luncheon.
A very simple menu would be to-
mato bisque in bouillon cups, with
whipped cream; salmon with shrimp
sauce, salad OF asparagus tips, the
mayonnaise colored pink with vegeta-
bic coloring, strawberry ice cream and
tiny cakes iced in pink and white.
A very clever girl entertained her
sewing club at such pretty luncheon
last spring. The table was quite un-
usual because there were. no flowers.
She used lace doilies, and in the cen
ter was little Dresden figure, whose
bouffant skirt was a pink satin pin
cushion filled with needles and pins.
There were four Dresden candlesticks
with tall pink candles surrounding the
lady, and the dishes containing the
nuts and candies were small Dresden
baskets. At each cover was a tiny
sewing bag made Of Dresden ribbon.
The pasteboard bottom was stuck full
Of pins and it opened up for needle
book.
On the place cards was written
Needles and pins, needles and pins,
when a man rnarries his trouble be-
gins"
OF course, when they read this the
guests all became suspicious at once,
and then the hostess showed them
the new ring she was wearing on
her third finger.-Philadelphia Led

Making the Little
Farm Pay

In the big dairy region adjacent to
Chicago farmers are learning how to
make cows pay 500 year above the
value of their feed
Not all farmers are doing this, but
"A sufficient number have reached the
hundred dollar mark to prove that it
can be done. 1t needs a good COW,
proper feeding and sensible marketing
to bring the earnings Of the animal
up to 500 II year. Farmers to make
cows pay must weigh the milk of each
once or twice week. Those which
do not produce four gallons or more
daily are not worth keeping. 1t IL also
we'll to have milk tested occasionally.
Here are few winning principles
that may be applied on either small
or large dairy farms:
Feed silage the year through except
when pasturage in at it's best.
When pasturage Is not good cows

Another and a very gratifying
evidence Of the brotherhood Of
man was witnessed here Tuesday,
in the giving Of nearly 200 square
inches Of living skin by n men
Of Candy, who generously re
sponded TO an appeal Of a local
firm Of physicians and surgeons to
come to the relief Of young and
friendless automobile mechanic,
Theodore OPEN, at the local hos
pital. The young man was badly
burned on the lower limbs last
August, following an explosion
in an Ivanhoe garage, and the
burned area had persistently re
fused to heal. "
The fire victim, who is but 10
years old and without relatives
or friends here, has been at the
Swenson Hospital during the past
ten weeks, receiving treatment.
The attending physicians, after
recent consultation, determined
upon a skin grating operation as
the unfortunate young man IS main
chance of recovering and made
an appeal to number Of men
about town to give living cuticle
for the operation.
When the time came for the
operation at ten o'clock Tuesday
morning, it was found that thirty
two Candy men--mostly young
fellows, had responded to this APP
peal and presented themselves
ready to make the necessary sac
'rifice in the cause Of humanity .--
