It was there that she met Mr.. Win

The genius who transmutes his

a drama or a statue is working along
the line of sublimation.
Persons who are not geniuses can
do the same thing.
A girl can put a deserving lover
out of her mind IL she has any con-
troll at all over her mind.
The more advanced educators are
today attempting to convert the
erratic and erotic impulses of girls
into safe and sane and profitable
activities.
Any oma who cares to do &c
can escape to freedom from most of
! the ancient and futile forms of
slavery to sex.
1t all depends upon her will to
change the habit of her mind.

have outclassed, for length, any of
the antique forerunners fashioned
by prehistoric jewelers. for cave

Earrings, indeed, reach pretty far
this year, for these long pendants

Up to date the strictly tailored
woman has confined herself to the

can go to any length she wants in

Jack Frost's Secret

AS If to crown the year, autumn no!
only brings her mellow fruitfulnesa
and golden days of summer warmth
but occasionally opens the door and
let's old winter in. 1t all happened as
predicted. No wind played as usual
on the hilltop, the stars came out
clear and bright, the moon was gor-
geous in it's round refulgence, bu.
there was an ominous. stiffness in the
air. When the door was left ajar,
singing cold sent her arrow through.
The next morning when the sun
arose he had more work than usual
on his hands. The frozen forms of
sparkling dew hung pendant from the
dropping goldenrod and crowned the
aster with a beauty new. The smoke
rose straight skyward from the many
chimneys round about, while the roofs
steamed with incense unknown to
them for many weeks.
Autumn had simply turned another
page to bear witness to her versatile
ity. She announced that time was up
for ripening grape or late strawberry
blossom. The wondrous drama that
had for five months past been staged
in every garden was for the season
closed. but the mighty color pageant
of October still remains to celebrate
for days in hill and dale the harvest
bounty.
What is the secret of this trans
formed world in field and pasture?
Jack Frost has brought with him in
MIGRATING air together with the wine

has steadily put to sleep the flow
er fairies of the summer. And he has
done it by checking the flow of sap in
leaf, stalk and trunk. In place of
fiexibility there is now rigidity of stem
and petal and where pliability was
once the mark of garden life stiffness
is now upon her flower children.
Who can fail to see written in the
garden a parable for man? All is well
for him as long as he keeps his frame
plastic and his mind open to new ideas
and enthusiasms. Vital interest in new
issues and a large openness of mind
do much to keep man young. But
once let dogmatism touch him. or let
him become Grabbed or cocksure, set
or opinionated. and the frost touches
him to check his growth.
Richard La Gallienne cites we'll the
secret of the frost in saying that "a
man is not old till he ceases to fall
in love, carries a pocket mirror to ex-
anime his tongue" The frost hits
him when me begins to say that
times are changed and to speak Of
young people as separate and dis
appointing class" The fatal touch of
rigidity is the secret of Jack Frost
No time limit has been set to growth
in the garden Of the human mind.
When a man is so foolish as to stake
these limits for himself then he
makes himself liable to the benumb-
ing blight Of Jack Frost.-Minneapoli

Mongoose in Trinidad.

diminished somewhat during the last
Few years, chiefly because Of the raw.
ages of froghoppers, since the liz.
ards which formerly kept them in
check are being exterminated by the

their estates, and many thousands are
destroyed every year without any at.
