The Lonely Heights.

President-elect Harding has complained Of
the loneliness that already encompasses him
though it is still several weeks before he will
be installed in the presidency, Old friends, he
says seem to hold aloof; and he feels an in
visible barrier that has risen between him and
Lis fellows
!. Men cannot disassocate him from the ex-
allied ONCE he is about to enter
Loneliness is the penalty greatness exacts
from those it fayors.,
He who ascends the heights will find HIM
self pretty much alone
The more warm-hearted the man. the more
poignant the sense of solitude that great dis
tinction imposes.
Early ins his administration President Will
son. too, protested against the loneliness OF
the presidential Office.
Taft welcomed the opportunity-to return
to private life and to familiar association with
bis fellows
But Theodore Roosevelt was one of the few
blessed mortals who can scale the heights and
take the crowd along. He was never lonely
and even the jungles Of Africa ceased to be
soitudes when he arrived.

On Dress.

Mrs. Warren G. Harding. the next FIRST
lady" has this to say on the subject Of dress
Il have always felt clothes are tremen-
dously important. Ne one can afford to be
indifferent about them
Well spoken! Most of us like to say that
it is what a person is and not what be looks
like that counts. But, in reality We make our
first judgments Of men on their looks and ind
out what they are at our leisure
Most Of US are engaged in the business of
selling" our personalities 1t is sad to re-
fleet, but true, that to attract our customers
p our characters, We must give ourselves q
certain amount Of window-dressing.
The function Of good clothes is to provide
the immediate attraction that personality can
rot Of itself forthwith attract.
Besides compelling the instant attention Of
others, good clothes also have the quality Of
al encouraging pat on the back Of the wearer.
\ Who has not felt the self-confdence and
the pep that new spring suit. or even q. new
hat, impaEts?

LINCOLN.

No scion he. Of noble clan,
Who held himself apart,
But just q rugged, honest man
With throbblng human heart;
A man who tried to make amends
For troubles not his own:
A man who had q host of friends
And yet he walked alons.s
The humblest man might gain bis car
For he was deaf to none
And make his plea with ne'er = fear
But justice would be done.
A nation battled at his back
That wrong might be o'erthrown;
A vast support be did not lack
And yet he walked alone.
For who could walk the way he planned
Or e'er approach his goal?
And who could hope to understand
The travail Of hia soul!
In reverence our heads We bow
For that great spirit flown,
But we're content. assured that now
He does not walk alone.
