7 KNEW her when she was alive.

KNEW her when she was alive,
a great, big, generous, tolerant.
broad minded, deep hearted
beautiful woman.
| was proud to know her, never
met her but that she gave me some
thing new and something fine and
something deep to think of and to
remember
She had a big. rambling house,
set In a great, glorious garden and
outside OF the garden roared the
challenge of the great sea-almost
to the steps it came, the sea.
1t was fine on a moonlight night
to watch the ships come sailing,
sailing up over the horizon, sailing
and sailing straight to port, past
the garden. You could stand In
the shade Of the eucalyptus trees
and watch them.
Cared for Adopted
Children LikN Her Own.
And when the stars were out,
the sea cleaned like silver and
frost-but II was IN the storm that
1t was most magnificent.
The woman in the great house
loved It all, the storms, the moon
light, the stars shining and the
sunrise, and she loved her garden,
too, her great. spreading, sunny
garden. with little islands Of cool
shade in II.
There were birds in the garden,
hundreds and hundreds Of them,
nightingales, too-they sang In the
moonlight. And there was a
laughing fountain where the birds
came to drink and the little squir-
rels, and my friend, the great
woman OF the noble heart, adopted
children and brought them up In
the garden. and when they were
grown she made professions for
them and found them useful work
to do and befriended them and
loved them as II they were her own.
The garden was on the edge Of
a great and magnificent city, and
there was never anyone In the city
I'm such deep trouble or in such
dire distress that the Lady OF the
Garden would not listen to their
story and extend to them a loving,

T N olden times kings used to
have their pet animals cut
open to find out how their
livers looked. This was because
it has always been well known that
animals are very sensitive to the
people around them and grow to
resemble their masters.
You can really humanize an ami
NAL very much if you have it in
the house with you a great deal,
because we are all spiritually and
physically contagious to each other
and also to animalsE
So these kings in antiquity
thought that If they examined the
livers of their pet dogs and cats
they would be able to discover the
state of their own liyers.
And why did they want to ex-
anime the liver particularly?
Because, for longer than you
can guess, the liver has been en-
dowed by people with mysterious
power and function.
Look at the name It bears, and
say it to yourself-listening to its
literal meaning liver; the Liver!
So, when kings wanted to find
out in what state Of being they
were, they looked to the Liver"
in them.
The liver is a gland that secretes
a liquid called bile-which is most
important In aiding the digestion.
When anything goes wrong with
the liver and the distribution Of
bile becomes unregulated, the
whole person is injured, the nutri-
tive organs no longer do their
work properly-the system is more
or less poisoned
What Kind of People Have Liver
Trouble?
The people who have the most
liver trouble are the ones who
haven't any faith in anything, or
who have had faith in something
and lost it.
Look at all the people you know
and you will find that the ones who
have not liver trouble are the ones
who have faith in their work, or

Winifred Black Writes About a
Little Wrinkle
How Rich, Generous Intelligent Women Let Imaginary
Defect Cut Life Short
By Winifred Black.

gracious and a kindly hand.
She was very rich, very intelli-
gent, and deeply and truly loved
= but she wasn't happy.
There was a wrinkle on her
throat. and it worried her.
Whenever she looked In the
glass she didn't see her deep eyes
full OF love and sympathy, her kind
mouth and the soft swirl of the
hair of her broad and open brow.
She saw only the wrinkle, and she
couldn't bear It.
So she sent for a beauty doctor,
and the beauty doctor said yes, she
could remove the wrinkle; 1t would
be painful, OF course. but what was
pain compared to the removing Of
a wrinkle?
The Lady OF the Garden made
all her arrangements and went to
the beauty doctor and had the
wrinkle removed and she took
some kind Of medicine to allevi-
ate the biting pain-and In the
night she died.
Friends Didn't Know
She Had Wrinkle.
And her friends couldn't under
stanS lt-she was so wise, so good,
so kind. so gentle and so generous
they never even knew she had a
wrinkle on her throat, and II she
had had fifty they would have loved
her just the same. But she did not
know that and so she is dead. And
the great heart and the wide gar
den are lonely and the children
she had adopted have lost a mother
and the world has lost fine good
influence.
All because time wouldn't stand
still and because the Lady OF the
Garden could not bear TO see the
handwriting Of the years upon her
throat.
II she had lived a little longer
she would have come TO the time
where she wouldn't have minded
a thousand wrinkles-when sne
would have laughed at the Idea OF
dying to get rid OF one.
