''First of all, remember that | mar

her ability to entertain men. The
middle-western girl lacks this utter

girle it is a give -and-take proposition.
No matter how poor Southern
girl may be, and many of them are
very poor, she keeps up her social
activities. In New York when a
girls family loses its money, she
drops out of the running. This is
not true of the South.

well or so extensively dressed as the

cause of their tradition of before-the

Ernest Trucks Garden.

Ernest Truck belongs to the COM

garden and floral catalogues until the
color glare hurt your eyes. Outside
the front yard and the garden awaited
with impatience the glad spring when
Ernest, the sower, would come forth
to SOW. Then someone who knew
and loved Ernest Truck and who be-
lieved in encouraging his planting pro-
pensities sent him box bulging with
envelopes filled with seeds. Oh! such
lot of nice ambitious seeds Holly
hooks, pansies, sweet alyssum, trailing
arbutus, bleeding hearts, nasturtiums,
sweet peas and many others, the
names of which were even Greek to
Great Neck.
The great day came and into the
warm bosom of mother earth went
the seed. Then came sun, dew and
rain and all earth's processes and
little bits of green began to rise

Are instincts TranspIanted7 2

A gripping story by Alan Sullivan,
in Everybody's Magazine, is based on
the transplanting of monkey glands.
Jennison, the biologist in the story,
says:
"When you have planted the thyroid
gland of an ape, you may possibly
transplant his instincts. We were all
apes once. Some of us moved on ;
some stayed behind.
"You surgeons dabble your red
fingers in tissues and glands that may
possess a potency beyond your wild
est thoughts. You work somewhere
along the line between the known and
the unknown. Is it not possible to
prolong life at the cost of that which
ia worth more than mere existence2"

Wise Bird.

Grandfather was patient in a hos
pital. In the yard stood a tree, and in
this tree was a robins nest. The spar
rows seemed to take great delight in
seeing how miserable they could make
things for Mrs. Robin by diving and
pecking until she would leave the nest
One morning when Grandpa was
looking out the window he saw a twig
fastened with a string just above the
nest on which was suspended a card,
the ten spot of diamonds. The breeze
kept the card whirling back and forth
frightening the sparrows away. Mrs.
Robin went ahead with her work and
hatched her brood unmolested.

hand in hand. He gave one or two
examples from ancient and modern
history, and the list could be extended.
IL might be true to say generally
that the greater the man and the
greater his responsibilities the more
zestfully he unbends to the spirit of
trolic. OF course, there are exceptions
TO every rule. Napoleon seems to have
been little grim and irritable even
when jesting, though he could unbend

When the bullets were flying he could

yet he could be as jolly as any school
boy when he relaxed, as witness the
famous scene of his roll down grass
slope in token of his relief when he
gave up the leadership in 1875.

no one played the fool more heartily :;

cheerfulness and high spirits were
their strong characteristics.

A Bit of Philosophy.

A famous hotel man, who is also
philosopher once made remark that
would apply to almost any business.
1.-THE greatest mistake" he declared,
"that is commonly made by employees
and managers is to exert themselves
more for the comfort of an Old-time
customer than for a new one. Ac-
cording to all rules of hospitality and
logic the person who should receive
the most effort for his entertainment
within ones door is the newcomer"
he continued, according to Nations
Business. "In your own home you
would not think of making great
fuss over man who had been enter
tained there before, and more or less
ignore another fellow who is receiving
your hospitality for the first time. Yet
in hotel dining room the head waiter
is most careful to seat the man whom
he has seen there before, and in most
stores the clerks make more fuss over
an old customer than one who is CIV
ing the store first trial"
