 Some young men and maidens ac- quire this information as a by-prod- uct of their college study of the hu- man mind. But the majority have never heard of it. Tradition suffices for them.
 If lovers can be fortified by this unpleasant truth about conduct, most of them would set to work to dil:- gently cultivate their own portion of Eden from the first, knowing well that weeds sown in the heart by vag- rant desires can be destroyed by good intentions and right minded ness.
 When they established their first little home, they would plan to pre- serve their initial happiness and thus about 80 per cent of the tragedies of domesticity would be avoided.
 Some day, in the far future, men and women who pretend to be civil ized win shape their welded lives de- hberately. because they will be aware of natures trick of trapping men and women through their senses.
 Half a million letters from harassed human beings have I read in the last 15 years have reviewed all the old and the new theories about man and woman problems And whoever has done that will agree that nobody has yet invented a code of conduct as good as the old.
 The prevailing code of morals Is the outcome of the experience of men and women for many genera tions. It embodied the best in the science of human behavior. It can be trusted to work out for the great est good to the greatest number in the end

The truth about human conduct sometimes makes more interesting than pleasant reading. For instance this:
 T lost my first wife within two years of our marriage. 1 truly be- lieved that I never could love another woman. Four years later I married a girl admired and respected. She is devoted to me and has made a wonderful mother for my son. We have as much comfort together as most folks.
 And now I have lost my heart to a girl who closely resembles my first wife
 Its a mess. I'm ashamed of my self. I've made love to this girl just once, Then she told me that she can never marry another man.
 Has our love any rights? Must her life be wrecked2
 Be plain. I can take punishment
 Evidently another of natures dem onstrations in trapping human be- ings.
 The whole tangle comes from a false theory According to the old teaching. still held by good people, a man and woman can love but once in the best and most satisfying way.
 According to modern experience and philosophy human beings can and often do love sincerely more

NEW YORK-Just as you adjust yourself nicely to something roomy at the neck and bouffant as to skirt. for winter frivolties, do you find that your smartest gown for informal wear must cling to your neckline in an odd little collar, reminiscent of Peter Pan.

"The Boar's Head" represents one
of the convivial carols or "jolie chan
sons" which had their place at the
feasts, dances and other gay festiyi-
ties of the Christmas season.
In Shakespeare's time bands of
Itinerant singers used to wander about
the streets and make their carolry a
pretext for getting money.
During the Eighteenth century carol
ry declined greatly, and many OF. the
quaint old customs which had marked
Christmas festivals for centuries be-
came obsolete.
Carolry still exists In parts of Eng
land.
In Wales 1t has been preserved to
a still greater extent, while Ireland
too, has her Christmas carollng in
tlme-honored style. France has It's
"Noels," and In Italy Christmas carols
have heen sung since the time OF ST.
Francis OF Assist. who discovered the
power of sacred song in the YER
nacular.

THE 1900 CHRISTMAS
FIRST YULETIDE DINNER SERVED
IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Haunch of Venison Graced the Table

John Adams

~ HE first dinner at Christmas
VI given in the White House was
that which took place in the year
1900. when John Adams was Presi
dent and thrifty Abigail, his wife, sat
at the head of the table as hostess. 1t
was not a comfortable meal, although
a splendid haunch of venisOn, the
gift of Mrs. Washington, graced the
board, and the country people of what
Mrs. Adams called "the City in the
Wilderness" had generously contrib
uted gifts Of all sorts to make the
feast as toothsome as one could well
wish.
The reception after dinner took place
in the oval room, which is now the
library, and was at that time barely
iiabitable, though furnished, as Mrs
Adams wrote, in warm crimson The
view from the windows on that first
Christmas day would have disclosed
what John Cotton Smith describes as
"a deep morass, covered with alder
bushes" The sidewalks were laid
with chips from the stones with which
the capitol was built. A wooden
bridge spanned Black Tiber Greek, and
low houses, also built Of wood were
the residences of the congressman.
The only brick dwellings were those
that stood in Pennsylvania avenue. be
tween Twenty-frst and Twenty-second
streets, six in number and built with
money derived from the sale of lottery
tickets. These were the surrounding
of the first Christmas day Of the CHEZ

W is uncertain. 1t is probably as

Bishop Taylor In his "Great ExempIar''
remarks that the first carol is the

In the Fifteenth century carols were
widely used throughout Europe. In
fact, the first pieces printed by the
