The life which lives in than years
May serve but humble part
Where'r it be it is the life
Which does things from the heart.
What the days of toll or pain?
From WEAKNESS comes rest
Content the heart that knows full we'll
It's tried do it's best.
We sit by and wish and hope
Good luck would way
But think and we work
As we'll dream and play.
We not here to simply be-
To eat and sleep and rest
We have duty-yea, task,
Which claims very best.
The trouble is with most of us
We do not persevere;
We do all right till get tired,
Or obstacles appear.
The life must be in tune with good
Be brave to meet the test;
Be strong and true until the end.
And strive to be its best.
We can't depend upon some one else
In this old world-ah mol
If we're content with good enough"
Our soul-life will not grow.
Tis to choose the upward way,
Fen though the storms breast!
To drift through lfe-ths to fail;
IT'S ours live our best!

Learn History by Historical Novels

In the June WOman'S Home Cou-
panion Annie Bryan Mccall says:
zone of the pleasantest ways know
of making varied travels into history
is by reading historical novels. l re-

was sixteen l read Hawthorne's

read them solely for the story. yet
from those three books learned more
of the times of Henry VIII, and Queen

jersey cloth at the fashionable beach
es. Black satin has lost none Of its
usual charms; tafeta, mohalr, alpa-
ca and poplin still retain their popu-
larity; and the rubberized cloths are
likewise favored to great extent.
If the one-piece slip-on frocks have
been a success in our everyday life,
the same style adapted to bathing suits
is still more successful. One could
ask for nothing more practical than
the one-piece bathing dress worn
over boomers. and to it may be added
all the prevailing fashion features.
There are suits of tLis type decorated
with embroidery, with deep trimming
bands, large pockets, anu with g1r-
dies arranged according to the latest
whims of Fashion.
Following out one of the late styles
in skirts is the bathing suit illus
trated with a deep band at the lower
part. This band is stitched at the
front and back, but the sides are
loose to give the effect Of bulgins
pockets or an adaptation OF the barrel
idea which is still exploited by GER
tain designers. This suit is of black
satin with the band Of striped satin.
Bathing Suit Accessories
A complete bathing outfit by no
means ends with the selection of the
suit. Beach wraps, hats and caps
shoes and stockings, are quite as I'M
portant. There are sets of matching
hats, shoes and huge bags which are
considered very smart. Ruboerlzeo
silks in plain colors, are especially
attractive for the beach wraps, Wnlcn
are usually made with very large
collars.
In hats and caps, the choice lies be-
tween round sailors with straight
brims and rather high crowns, and the
small close-ftting rubber caps. ,Ian-
a-shanters and the IChinese-shaped
hats are also seen a great DEAL On
many hats and caps there are novel
ornaments of rubber in bright con-
trasting .colors.
Some New Sweaters
To- be without sweater at the sea-
shore is almost as bad as being "1tn-
out a bathing suit. The knitted wool
sweaters made with body and sleeves
in one seem to be at the height OF
popularity just now. They are mostly
of the kind that is slipped on over
the head, with an opening only at the
neck. Some of the newest one are
knitted to fit closely at the waist.
with the top and the lower part knit
mere openly.

New York, June 9.
Yellow sands and cool, breezy shores
very soon begin to draw the usual
crowds that flock to the seaside in the
summer months.
This season sees the bathing suits
carrying out the same colorful note
that predominates in all sports
clothes. and in materials there is al
so a similarity, namely, in the use OF
one of the most favored Of fabrics

It was one of those humid days
when the dust of the street, driven by
hot gusts, seemed to bite into ones
hands and face and ears; having bit
ten, to cling there by myriad savage
little teeth. The aggressive discom-
fort of the city's out-of-doors follow
ed me into the Office building, ascend
ed with me in the elevator, and was,
more in fancy than in fact, perhaps,
tormenting me when left the car at
the seventh floor to find myself con-
templating the door of "The Little
Room where ! was to meet him
whose friends call him Dart.
Something about the dignified opa-
que panel, spanned by DARTS three
goodly names fianked by brass
knocker, told me that more serious
business than the common place
work-a-day affairs of life was going
on within. So I did not try the door;
I made somewhat awkward use of the
knocker. DART opened, drew me
within, and closed the door behind me.
Will you believe me when say that
was then a million miles away from
the heat, the dust. the noise of the
sire at
is was by no means an ordinary
OF room, in an. everyday, prosa1c
offrce building. It had been once, but
that was before Dart came to live
there. When he came, and a certain
frend Of his came to call upon him.
the Office underwent a change that
straightway made it part of DART.

said Dart, to his friend who knew
more than little about making
rooms and buildings and premises
habitable, "and I want something just
right
THAT means more than you realize" }"
responded the man who makes places
habitable. "Most Offices are, to say
the least, oppressive. Some are pos
sible, and a few-a very few-fit their
occupant like suit of clothes, at once
serving his needs, and preserving his
own particular individuality"
But, the thing has been done. Dart
is a reposeful sort OF a person, with
a big, throbbing dynamo of brain
on top. That library in which he Is
formulating his tremendous ideas is
his outer garment-no less. 1t clings
about him like a goodly robe. It's col

strong color pitch of Dart.


What were the colors? I could not
tell, but they were just the colors that
expressed Dart. What were the pic
lures? I do not know, for not even
the pictures in this dream library
were insistently individualistic. There
was nothing in all that room-piece
of furniture-tapestry lamp, booksheir,
bronze, picture, or anything-that
stood I'D to say, Look at me! Not
at the rest!" For the room had been
done in just the spirit in which. the
artist in apparel selects his own cloth
ing; nothing that he wears compels
attention; all that he wears but gives
expression to himself When all was
done, D'Art-through his friend-had
transformed "The Little Room and
he was now more in that room than he
had been when he himself selected and
arranged all that it contained.
What did all that mean to DART ?
1t meant peace, and added mental
"horse power 1t meant an environ
ment that helped, rather than hind
cred. 1t meant that here nothing ir-
ritating could reach him. 1t meant
that in this refuge, his big ideas
freighted with good for the race,
could find what an efficiency expert
would call zone hundred per cent.
EXPRESSION ''The Little Room was
indeed a goodly comforting garment.
And l remember with an ache that
some of the rooms in which l have
been compelled to labor have allowed

Afraid

Afraid.
MIR. Price asserted that the United
States is facing disaster in the world
because her people are blind to dang
ers confronting them and because OF
ficials of the government are afraid
to alarm the people.
He asked that these facts be we'll
considered:
!. Italian muniticn plants run
part of the time for want or co4l.
Germany is not worried over the lta'-
i'm offensive because she KNOWS II -
limited by lack of coal. UNLESS we
can send Italy 250.0Co tons OF coai
per month she can not longer continue
her offensive military operations. The
ships are not today in sight to car
ry that coal to Italy.
2. The Italian and French navles
are crippled for lack OF fuel. Ger
many knows this and seeks to destroy
coal and oil ships above all others.
3. If fuel becomes increasingly
scarce as it has for months past
the British fleet next fall will be so
restricted that the German fleet can
escape.
No Starvation,
Germany had her greatest foou
shol sage over a year ago. With a.
100000 people in her captured terri
tories-almost the population OF the
British Isles-to use as sac can to
till the fertile soil of food producing
Polanr, and Rumania, she is not to be
starved this nor next nor any other
year as things look today.
America must rebuild and re-equlp
the railroads of France and perhaps
Russia to win the war. Some experts
say we must conquer Germany, send
100000 workmen, mechanics and rail-
road operatives besides an army OF
from 100000 to 100000 men to
France. A good start even can not
be made within one year ana perhaps
two or three years. To maintain D
100000 men in England and just
across the 21-mile wide English chan
mel in France Great Britain requisl-
toned one-fourth the entire merchant
tonnage of the world.
One-Eighth Gone.
6. During the war nearly one-elghtn
the merchant tonnage of the earth
has been destroyed. This is double
what has been launched in the same
period.
Z. If not another ship were de-
stroyed by mine or submarine, from
now on we still could not send 1,G00,-
600 men to France and maintain them,
one year from today.
8. Nobody has yet added together
the total new demands alone for ton
mage and yet new needs of appalling
magnitude are appearing every week.
Great Britain's army of 100000 IN
the year 1915-1916 consumed more
meat than the entire British nation,
46,OOO,000 strong, in 1913. And yet
there are not enough ships to meet the
needs of last year when We steadily
went backward. How are we to meet
the new demands for cargo space that
our entrance into the war involves?
A increasing number of ships Will
be available next year but the addl-
tions for the next eight months are
,aitifully inadequate. England says
one ship this year is worth six next
year.
Fateful.
9. How fateful are the next eight
months, when Italy may succumD,
when Russia appears helpless, when
even the glorious British fleet, the
sole savior of the United States for
the past three years, may be renGer-
ed impotent. It is not clear that
Fighting for democracy is, for Amer
lea, but part of the case. we are fight
