A YEAR
(By Frances 6. Hamlet)

A year is like "a liaf of bread,
All fresh and fair and new
With every day a little slice
From off that loaf for you;
And sprinkled sometimes through
the loaf,
To make the flavor good,
Are Observation-Disclosures that come
Exactly as they should.
The year is like loaf of bread,
So fresh and NEW and fair,
And when it's nibbled all away
Another waits you there!

ARITHMETIC

He's teaching her arithmetic,
He said that was his mission,
He kissed her once, he kissed her
twice,
And said, "Now, that's addl-
tion,"
And as he added smack by smack
In silent satisfaction,
She sweetly gave him kisses back,
And said, "Now, that's sub
traction"
Then he kissed her and she kissed
him,
Without any exclamation,
Then both together smile and said
"Now, that is multiplication"
But dad appeared upon the scene
And made a quick decision:
He kicked the lad three blocks
away,
And said, "That's long division"

A summary of the various

amount to from 10 to- 26 per cent

as high as SO. This is significant
when dit is realized that most of

evident THAT in mural districts

WRAPPING APPLES IN OILED

THE PLEASURE OF YOUR
COMPANY IS REQUESTED

"The pleasure of your company
is requested" is the way the invi-
tation reads. But it does not al
ways happen that your company
is pleasing. Yet MO one has a
right to accept such an invitation
who is not pretty sure of being
able to give pleasure as well as to
get it.
We think a great deal about our
dress when we go into company
to which we have received a
formal invitation. But Important
as it is that we should look our
best it matter a great deal more
that the spirit should be in holi-
day attire. The young people who
go into company i'm an unrespon-
sive mood, who have nothing par
ticular to say, who are self-con-
scious, casting shy chances this
WAY and that to see how their ap-
parel compares with that of 9TH
ers present, add little to- the JOY
business of the occasion.
If the pleasure of your company
is ito be real, go expecting ito en-
joy yourselves. The people who
accept invitations because they
cannot think of any satisfactory
excuse for staying away, make
dlreary guests. Go anticipating
pleasure and you are pretty sure
ITO give it. Every hostess wei
comes the guest with a raidianr
face.
If the pleasure of your com
pany is to be more than an empty
phrase, enter heartily into th&
entertainment provided. Tht
hostess whose, guests do not fee
like doing anything she suggests
has a hard time. You may MOI
care particularly for music, bu

THE SECRET OF
''GETTINC ALONG"
WITH OTHERS
Wise Woman Advises Ad-
herence to Five Simple
Rules

What is the matter with those
Who never appear to he able to
make friends and who do not seem
able to "get on" with others. This
type of person lis mot uncommon.
There must be reason for this.
There is. 1t lis not hard to dis
cover. Usually it is a matter of
disposition, of temperament. Of
ten it is purely a matter of the
control of THE tongue. A mother
once said to her daughter:
ooh, Mary! You would have so
many more friends that you now
have if you would put a bride on
your tongue. 1t says so many
Things that are better unspoken." :"
Proper tongue control is need
ed remedy when one does not "get
on" easily with others. How shall
the tongue be controlled? There
is one girl who i'm her work lis
eager to "get on'' with all kinds
and conditions of people who de-
cided to put wise control upon
her tongue by rigidly adhering to
these rules:
81 will not be provoking, if l
know it.
81 will not be provoked, if I cam
help it; or if l am, / will not
speak until l have Thought it over,
putting myself in the other per-
sons place.
81 will pass over small offenses
and small annoyances without
fear or comment.
81 will mot insist ON my way be-
cause it lis my way. If the other
persons way is about as good, 1
will take it.
81 will say what I think, and
then drop the subject, especially
if it seems likely to cause dis
sension."
Only strong, self-controlled peo-
pie can adopt this excellent way
of getting on with Others. 1t is
"a way that requires great gener-
osity of spirit and a firm hold on
ones tongue, but is nobly worth
striving for. Those who do NOT
"get on'' with others are almost
invariably easily provoked. The
art of "getting on'' with others is
one of the finest arts in the world
and those who acquire it help to
preserve the balance of the world
i'm a splendid way.
Newark post., 1921-01-05

THAT does not excuse you for look
ling bored, or still less for whis-
pering when someone lis singing.
You may not enjoy charades but
if that lis the entertainment of the
evening, enter into it as if there
were nothing you liked better.
"The pleasure of your COM
pany!" Justify the trusting faith
of the one who gives the invita-
tion. Do not go to be a wet
blanket, or a dead weight. Do not
go to be a wall flower. Make up
your mind that since the pleasure
of your company is requested, it
shall be a real pleasure.

THE VASTNESS OF
HUMAN IGNORANCE

One of the most impressive
spiritual facts of the opening
twentieth century is the vastness
of human ignorance. For, just
because mankind as a whole has
learned so much, man as an in-
dividual has so much to- learn;
and we have so greatly widIened
the limits of our collective knowl-
edge that each Of us finds it diff
ficult to get any common measure
of the information of others. In
this confusion and chaos of pos
sible intellectual requirement the
chief masterful assertion of the
intelligence is to recognoize how
limited and incompetent it is.
Stupidity believes it knows, tri-
uphantly proclaims it knows, acts
with wild, blind fury on the
boundlless ignorance that it mis-
takes for knowledge. Intelligence
is cautious, quiet, looks in front,
behind and about, before lit takes
a step, admits that every day it is
learning new views, seeing new
lights, modifying old convictions,
cannot and will not act until it
gets some idea of the full bearing
of it's action.
Intelligence goes further and
reaches it's greatest achievement
in transforming ignorance into
mystery. The difference between
the two is NOT a difference of fact
but of attitude. Ignorance is
hateful, painful, tormenting. Mys-
terry is one of the most beautiful
things in the world. Instead of
rebelling against our universal
Ignorance, of crying out for final,
instantaneous, clear-cut truth, we
must learn to- enjoy the perpetu-
ally renewed wonder of life. We
must be ON the watch for the
sweet surprises that await us
daily. New secrets are being un-
vailed about us. New, strange re-
sources of the natural world, new
hidden powers of the spirit,
spring up constantly to- refresh
and rejoice us. Columbus and the
great explorers of the sixteenth
century discovered oceans ane
continents, but there are deeper
oceans and wider continents to bt
traversed in the unsearched re
gions of the soul.
And as the aesthetic correlativ'
of mystery is wonder, so thu
spiritual correlative is reverence
Once show us how Ignorant W.
are, and we must be humble. MAXI
us feel that with our creates
effort we can but nouch the hen
of Truths garment, and our soul
must be purified and simpllfied

ACCIDENTS

In the literal sense an accident
is something that befalls anyone,
and it may be an event of good
fortune or of bad. We often speak
of lucky accident" But unless
the adjective lucky is applied, the
word accident is accepted as de-
noting misfortune. A large part
of human life and thought and
energy is devoted to guarding
against accidents and to reducing
the possibility of their occurrence.
Yet accidents, if they are not
serious or costly, are often good
things for people. 1t is the minor
accidents, the totally unexpected
and unwelcome occurrences, that
strengthen character and that en-
able those who encounter them to
meet other and more severe emer-
gencies with fortitude and re-
sourcefulness. And although they
are inconvenient enough at the
time, they usually affaird material
for interesting or amusing remin-
iscence, and they occasionally re-
veal sympathetic aspects of human
nature. To the automobilist, for
example, a tire puncture is a
minor accident of the vexatious
sort; amid the group of interested d
spectators that gathers in the city
sidewalk to observe his efforts to
cope with the situation there is
always some one who is helpful if
he needs help. AS the minor acci-
dent in which you require help is
likely to increase-temporarily at
least-your confidence in human
nature, so does the minor accident
in which you have to manage
without help often result in an in.
creased confidence in yourself.
The person who has come tt
look upon minor accidents philo
sophically and to accept them Sc
renely and without grumbling has
not only learned a good deal OF
wisdom but is a comforta BILE sor
of person to live with.
