q talk q the purposes and aims Of the

ed by the Socialist party Indirectly and
most Of the leaders ii 1tA6 League in

INV. GREGORY TELLS HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS HOW TO
It ATTAIN SUCCESS.

& Baccalaureate services were held at
the high school auditorium Sunday eve
ming for the graduating class of the
local high school, Rev. Philip E. Greg
ory, Of the Congregational church de-
ivering the baccalaureate sermon.
{ The services opened with the selec-
ton "The Heavens Resound," by a
mixed chorus composed Of high school
students. Rev. Gregory gave the invo-
cation, which was followed by: duet
81 waited for the Lord" sung by
Mesdames N. D. Woodwork and Chas.
Jensen.
Rev. Gregory spoke from the text
John 1887, "To this end was I born,
and for this cause came I into the
world, that I should bear witness unto
the truth" He congratulated the men,
bers of the class on having achieved
that which they had been working for
during their school life, graduation. He
pronounced education the way to sue
cess and gave figures taken from
"Who's Who in America,' to substan-
tate this statement. From the names
of 5000 persons given in this book, ell

That education alone will not make
for success was pointed out by the
pastor. He said that the most satisfac-
tory definition of success was "That
man is a success who leaves the world
better and richer than he found it,"
from "Making Life Count" Taking
from his text the setting Of "Christ
Before Pilate,'' Rev. Gregory drew the
lesson that the definite purpose for
which the Savior was sent was known
by Christ and he achieved that pur-
pose, wherein lay the secret of his
success in life on this earth. Continu-
ing, the pastor named many great men
and women Of the past and said that
all Of these were dominated by great
purpose. Addressing the members Of,
the class directly he asked them if they
were willing to pay the price of success,
naming as the qualifications character,
fidelity and determination. To these
qualifications he added as essential
"unquestioned honesty; love Of fellow
men and women; Kindness; generosity;
justice; reverence to parents"
The services closed with the song
"Come Thou Almighty King by the
congregation, and benediction by Rev.
Gregory.

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
By Beatrice Fairfax

We all know that constant dripping wears a stone. That principle was applied to one of the cruelest forms of torture known to the Spanish In uuisition. "The ordeal of dropping water" was the name of a matter of unbelievable suffering.
 And so the nagger" who Keeps carping at someone with a constant stream of little drops of criticism sub jects that someone to a sort of ordeal wonder on whom the constant tr1ckle of torture is faEing-on the one who is disparaged constantly or on the one who. permits events to annoy him all the time and to drive him into the ever critical frame of mind.
 The sort of person who keeps at you" who keeps correcting you and telling you how to do things better, may drive you to fury, but you have a way of escape. You can get up and away from a nagger. And it seems largely probable that in the end folks always do just that.
 But the nagger can't get away from himself and his habits so easily. He seems to be bound in water chair of his own making.
 The fau1t-f1nder has let himself get into the habit of being annoyed by life and folks. He has bound him. self directly under constant drop
 
 for a frame of mind where every thing that happens must tap him gently on the same spot in his con- sciousness. And after a while the rawnesS and soreness of his nerves must be cruel thing<to endure.
 The supercritica1 frame of mind is a pitiable frame of mind. There's no way away from that. It's just as easy to form mental habits of positive sorts as to acquire negative ones. There is really no more difficulty about getting into the way of likin g things than there is connected with getting the mental habit of disliking g
 You can look at a grape and make yourself miserable over the fact that it has seeds. You can eat a grape and enjoy it's cool tartness and fine flavor. It's all @ matter of what you center upon.
 There are folks so well poised and serene that they can remain imper- turbable in the face of actual calam- ity. don't suppose they were al- ways like that.
 Try to fancy one of the fortunate, happy dispositioned calm folk you sometimes envy letting himself in for annoyance at small circumstances that can't be changed. Haven't you fumed and fretted because you had through a long hours journey from some vacation spot to the city. Hay en't you made yourself up through a constant trickle of drops from your heated imagination to your nervous system? Of course.
 All of us get all wrought up about something and make ourselves objects of pity to ourselves and of annoyance to neighbors who may be trying to eHdure- and calmly-the same things that are driving us mad. We nag ourselves as well as everyone else.
 Why not apply this fact to it? An American abroad wagered a famous athlete that he couldn't stand hav- ing pint of water poured drop by drop on one spot on his hand from a a height of only three feet. Of course that seemed absurd. But at the four hundred and twentieth drop the ath- lete had to call a halt.

VIVID COLORS IN

 Vermil1ion, jade green, indian red of the most brilliant hue, tangerine and flame-co1ored frocks were con the Maison Ross at their showrooms. Skirts, judging from this display, are shorter and tighter than eyer and even where floating drapery gives a wider effect, there is narrow ''hobble" skirt beneath.
 Most of the evening frocks had a sheath-1ike effect, ending in a fish tail train.
 Other dance frocks stood out above the knee like that of a ballet dancer.
 Nearly all the frocks have an East ern effect, both in gorgeousness and color.
 The long waist line was much in evidence, both for day and evening
