odor. Its upper branches are load
ed with pa beautiful rainbow-hued
flower, giving forth a heavy per-
fume- Around the base Of the ire,
are the dead bodies of small ami
mails and birds. The curator who
discovered the rare palm felt drows-
mess stealing over him, and his
son complained OF the same feel

which had originally been brought
from one of the South Sea Islands.

B BOOKS

SPIRIT MESSAGES" By Hiram Cor
son. A. NJ, III. D., Lift. d. Boston:
Christopher Publishing House.
This is 1919 edition of the book
originally published in 1911 bv the
author, now deceased, who was pro-
lessor emeritus OF the English Ian
Suage at Cornell University. and is
evidently reissued because OF the
worldwide awakening of interest
IN psychic subjects since the war.
The author made little attempt to
convert his readers to his way Of
thinking through persuasion or ar
gument, but instead devoted mos
OF the book to verbatim reports Of
messages he claimed TO have -e-
ceiyed through a Boston medium.
Inc subject Of communication
with those the world calls dead is
approached reverently, reasonably
ana with lucidity that at least
commands the attention of the read
eF whose mind. presumably, is open
70 convection. In his life the au-
thor was Intimately associated with
ceIeorities such as Robert Brown
ing Eilzabeth Barrett Browning,
AlIred Tennyson, Henry w. Long
fellow. the Rev. PhiIlips Brooks
ana walt Whitman, and his seance
messages from them, IL not at
tnehtlc, are at least gems OF liter
ary style.
certainly this work provides an
interesting addition to the propa-
samoa that Is fast being piled up
oy literary celebrities on the sub
Jeet OF communication with the
spiritual YaSld.

sas and an Authority On the
Problems of Parents.

TREE use of the automobile,
frequenting of the dance halls,
late hours at night
The foregoing points have just
now scored heavily against eighteen
or twenty high school boys and
girls of big city. Seven of these
have been dismissed from school
for alleged immoral conduct and
the others are awaiting further in
quiry by the board of education.
Since the war period We have
been passing through a young folks
husging era Everybody is doing
it" has been the implied watchword.
constantly given lessons and demon
strations on youthful embracing. At
the climax Of every drama the tight
embrace is now supposed to be .
necessary part The rapid develop
ment of the story and the staging
of the billing and cooling" climax
after . very brief period of courting
this dramatized emotionalism
daily displayed before the admiring
eyes of the sixteen-year-olds must
necessarily have a powerful influ-
ence upon the conduct of the young
couples when they are alone to-
gether.
Now. II your girl and her boy
friend sit together very often a.
witnesses Of the movie hugginS
scenes you may be sure that the
youth will try out the same kind of
thing on her when they are Sc
cluded.
Very naturally the parents OF the
youths in the city referred to above
are now thoroughly alarmed-after
the mark of shame has been placed
against the seven. and after the en-
tire young crowd of the city has
made the disgraceful affair the
chief topic OF their gossip for a
fortnight.
No more automobile rides no
more unchaperoned dances; no more
late hours: no more going out dur
ing school-week evenings.
SO the decree has gone forth. and
this being a resolution of a large
body of the best parents let US hope
that the high school scandal will
not be repeated in that particular
city. But such a hope is not rea-
sonable in your city or in any other
city unless parents take hand in
the management OF their boys and
girls.

Improving the Sentiment,

4 complimentary dinner was be-

in Ontario to two visitors who were
members of a famous Canadian
regiment. and were home on sick
leave. One of the local speakers had
been carefully coached about giving
the toast OF the evening" but be-
came fiustered, and this is what he
made of it: Here's to the gallant
Eighth, last on the field and the
first to leave it,"
Silence reigned, then another
speaker came gallsntly to the res
cue. Gentlemen" he began, you
must excuse our friend: he rever
could give a toast decently; he isn't
used to public speaking. Now I'll

Mrs. Woodrow Writes of
Money Arrangement For
Wife---NO Pay, No W01k
By MRS. WILSON WOODROW

A LOT Of people go on in mis-
~ cry in this world, passivelv
accepting conditions which
they find almost uncomfortable. be-
cause they have thought so mucn
about them that they are all in i
fog.
They seem TO themselves in a be
wildering maze of circumstance.
and they go around and around
trying TO find an exit; and. instead.
they discover that they are merely
at another turning point which
leads them back to the same old
place.
So they just go on, nursing a
bitter sense of injustice. and wear
themselves out in useless com
plants against their hard fate or
in equally useless quarrels with
those whom they consider respon-
sible for their difficulties, with the
result that conditions are not bet
tered in the least. while they theIn-
selves are materially the worse for
their futile struggles.
They fall to see that the first
thing to do in any difficult situa.
ing with ones self
For a change it is an excellent
thing to stop arguing continually
with others and argue a bit with
ones self. That will often clear
up matters wonderfully and per-
NIT a fresh start on new basis
Sometimes situation looks en-
tirely different when il is viewed
from a new angle.
For instance, you have some par
ticular bother in your life. Instead
of brooding over il and worrying
about it night and day. try to take
the attitude, temporarily at least,
of the disinterested onlooker. Hold
the bothersome condition out at
arms length, SO to speak, and re-
gard il as you would a problem in
the life of some one else.
Then ask yourself certain ques-
tions. What arc my rights in this
matter, and what are the rights
of the others concerned" Try TO
be just as fair to those others as
you are to yourself, and do not al
low any personal feelings to cloud
your cool judgment.
After this, the next question
would be, what are my real rea-
. sons for enduring this situation?
How much am l governed by the
opinions of others. and how much
by fear of taking a positive stand?'
The question which would natu-
rally follow, is What am l going
to do in the natter"
have a letter from a woman
who is much wounded in spirit by
the treatment she has received
throughout her married life, eX-
tending over some twenty years.
She says:

appreciation and pay from
stranger which i do not get at
home. / have saved my husband
many dollars from time to time
but | get no thanks for that He
has money in two banks, but boasts
that / have all will ever get from
him: so L suppose he means to leave
everything TO the boy and / may
be pcnniless in my old age. 1t is
only years and experience that
make me stop, look and listen. II

Entirely apart from my own OBJ

the. letters / have received in the
past few years. | would say that
the question of finance had wrecked
more homes than drink, or the in
truding siren, or mother-in-law, or
any other contributing cause.
Feels Herself
Needlessly Humbled.
As this woman feels, il is un-
necessarily humihating to have to
be continually begging for small
sums 10 cover her own needs, and
ii is nerve-racking to have a quar-
rel about it every time she does SO.
IL her husband is earning the
family living. she is doing all the
work necessary to keep Up the
home. lie would have a fine time
trying to feed and lodge himself
and the child and pay laundry
and other bills on SIS a week: and
yet she maintains all three OF
them on that inadequate sum. II
is niggardly and unfair propor-
ton Of his wages TO spend on the
home, and the fact that he quar-
rels about giving her money for
her own expenses is another indict-
ment Of his character
It is not worth while for a wo-
man to so on doing the best she
can under such circumstances,
while he is giving himself the
pleasure, al her expense. OF seeing
money pile up in the bank.
The only thing for her to do i,
to take the attitude of no pay no
work. She should make him un-
derstand that she has been think
ing the matter over for twenty
years and has come 10 a final. un-
shakable decision, that unless he
makes a satisfactory arrangement
with her, she will go TO work her
self. Such a household manager as
she has proved herself to be would
have no difficulty in finding plenty
OF opportunities.

simple way that / feel sure that many

AS soon as IL became cool and we

wen known that almost a quarter OF

500, so l got a small hand SITTER
