There used TO be a much-repeated

Beware OF the man OF one book"
The theory OF II was sound, and tho
habit that gave rise TO II ought to
be revived-if, indeed. II has ever
really fallen into desuetude.
You will. perhaps, be told never
to real old books of science. because
science advances so rapidly In these
days that a book OF that kind Is
apt TO become antiquated within
decade, OF less. But IL you go FAR
enough back you will find that sci
ence sometimes walks in circle.
Besides there are some books OF sci
enee that have to be read over again
generation after generation, be-
cause even though they may nave
been discarded as up-to-date text
books, they are, nevertheless, fund

DARwIN's "ORIGIN OF sPECIEs.7
Such a book is Darwin's "Origin

are foundation stones have modified
some of its structural ideas, they
have changed the chiseling, and
often have changed much more than
that, but still the frst-laid blocks

to have a broad view of the field of
science should study IL historically.

1t would be calamity if that book

many erroneous views. Things that
Humboldt thought were SO have
been found to be not so. But these
are specks on the sun. There has
been no work written since his time

A RECIPE FOR
HAPPY MARRIAGE.

Marriage is an entire success when
both parties are willing to give and
take. The trouble is that, as a gen.
eral rule, the sole object marriage
has for the girl Is to take her out
man, to provide him a housekeeper.
This idea is wrong, all wrong; let
each help the other to attain their
highest point of efficiency, to build
a home that will be q credit to this
grand nation of ours and to rear
sons and daughters in the proper
way that they may carry on the
work our forefathers started so
worthily.
Let the girls loose their visions
of dance halls and the like, and see
instead the vision of sturdy, healthy
children in a happy home which her
clear mind and faithful heart has
made possible.
Let the boys lose their visions of
rowdy good times" with the
bunch" boisterous Choir practice, !"
and kindred youthful pastimes and
devote themselves to the home they
have a natural desire for, and the
problem of being a strong arm for
the woman they marry.
Have good times, yes! and lots of
them, but don't sacrifice all the
glorious future for a mistaken idea
of a good time.

nifty. Live right" think right"

Marriages
Not Legal

CONSERVATION has been spreal
among the respectable married COZ
Piles OF Plougoumelen. In Brittany.
many of them having discovered
that after living together N the
state OF matrimony for many years
they are not married at all.
The discovery was made when q
woman who had said that she was
married at Pougoumelen died in the
neighboring village OF Lorient.
When the authorities came to
look up the records they could hnd
no trace of the marriage. 1t was
only after considerable search that
they discovered that the woman had
not been married in the Marie, but
in the neighboring inn.
BY the laws of the republic every
one must be married in the Marie.
In easy-going Plougoumelen there
were scores of couples who had pre-
ferred the inn to the Marie.
Now a terrible apple of discord
has been thrown into the hitherto
happy village. Wives who were
married to their husbands at the
inn look suspiciously at their hus-
bands. Husbands in their turn
wonder If their wives wish to
change.

Becoming
Couture

Ha1r-dressing can be made ftne
art: the features should be studied
and the style adapted to the con-
tour of the face. A becoming
couture softens angles, counteracts
irregularities of features aui by
contrast brings about the most
pleasing effects.
The fashion of bobbing the hair
is not to be commended. 1t as ex-
clusively a style which belongs to
the very young girl. There are
exceptions to this rule, and upon
the advice OF the family physician,
1t is sometimes necessary to sacri-
fee the hair on account Of illness.
When the face Is broad. the hai-
should be combed up. not down over
the ears, and dress high or In an
irregular figure eight.
The face with a retrousse nose
will look best IL the hair is coiled
softly at the nape Of the neck or in
any irregular style becoming 70 the
face.
Those with regular features are
indeed fortunate, for the style Of
hair-drssing may be changed as
often as the costume Is changed
However, it will be found that tho
Psyche knot harmonizes best with
this particular style Of beauty.
The simpler the fashion chosen
by a girl, the more charming she
will look.
IL not. choose one which suits the
Individual type, but always avoid
the exaegeration OF a mode. as
exaggerated styles should be left
for those who like to appear con-
spicuous.
