MOTHERS OF
 FAMOUS MEN
THE MOTHER OF, NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE

The tragedy that darkened all the days of his mothers life could not help but cast a certain shadow upon the existence of Nathaniel flaw thorne one of America,s greatest writers. wheR the little Nathaniel was about four years old. and his sweet and loving mother herself only 27, her husband died. Partly because of her genuine grief and partly be- cause of a prevailing custom which demanded thta widows commit social suicide. she lived the remainder ot her lif& apart from the world ana even from her own family
 For 40 years she spent most of her time in the seclusion of her room, even eating her meals apart from the common table. as symbol of her solitude. The tragedy of Nthis must naturally have had it's effeot on the household, although there is no sign of it's stamp in the writings of flaw thorne.
 Just as naturally it must have caused to spring up between the mother and her children certain barrier, although they loved each other with real devotion. Writing Of the situation a biographer says:
 His mother cared for him none the less, though sheswas less his com panion, and there seems to have been no diminution of affection between them, though an outward habit Of coldness sprang.up as time went on.

"One Trick Do"
rHE RAIsEp HANp

Tell any person in the room to pick up any object in one hand and to hold it above his head while he counts 20 slowly and distinctly.
 He Is to do this after you have left the room; and before shutting the door behind you, you tell the audience that upon returning you will be able to discover immediately which hand, the right one or the left one, had been raised.
 To do this trick you return to the room Immediately after the county of 20 has been completed. Glance as quickly as possible but very sharply at the two hands of the man who did the counting. You will without any trouble discover that one of them has the usual pinkish glow while the) other appears to be pure white. rms Is the hand he had raised and while holding it aloft all the blood had conrsed from the fingers through the veins in the arm. leaving them pale and almost bluish.

COUNTRY LANES
 Your eyelids droop, the windows of your soul are closed and a spirit hand leads you out of your room, out of your house. into the free spaces of the country.
 ;. where the winds blow free And story is told by the stones on
 the ground,
 A song is sung by thestiniest sound And secret is whispered by every : Were you awake, you would say, Where am l? But in your dreams you take things for granted. On the next morn, however: you must recall all you Eaw and did, for slumber- lands pictures of woodland and meadow are reflections cast into the mirror of your sleep by visions of your future. W
 Know then that to walk through country lanes, in sight of forest and mountain, with your eye undisturbed by disconcerting figures or frighten- ing aspects, is an omen of serious import. It means that during the year that opens up before you, a ccmplera change will come into your life. change so radical that the things you loved and the things you hated will mean nothing to you and new ambitions will fill your mind and new desires your heart. A dream I had that broke my world
 in two,
 And from the wreckage grew world
 anew.
 It is difficult to say/whether the change will be for better or for worse. I have always accepted this as decisive; that if you seem to ad- vance towards a definite goal to- wards place where you plan to rest. the dream Is happy one.

Worse yet, if darkness seems to fall and the ob- jects surrounding you grow distinct, then you stand at the threshold of trSublous days.
 If the sun beats down upon you and you suffer from its rays, loves violent passions will : disturb the peace of your soul. To cast off a garment to escape the heat means that you will drift with the evil tide and care little about your salva- tion. But if you seem to seek for a shady spot or, better yet. find one. the danger will find you well for tified and the brief storm in your heart will be followed by the calm of good conscience.
 A sandy stretch of land is sign of hard but happy duties. To stumble or fall while in the country proves that you need friends far more than you think-perhaps, even. that you have foolishly turned from them and that your dream warns you to Stretch out your hand and stretched
 out hands will meet you; Great those about, and those about
 will greet you.
 To find yourself clImbing noun tain or steep hill is the first sign of impending riches, to reach the sum init certain indication that in worldly wealth you will soon stand above those around you. To enter dense forest is a warning. It means that you have bad conscience and that before long, you win be found out, and should you lose your way in the thicket then the punishment for whatever i'll deed you have done is not far off. But to walk swiftly through bit of woodland, especially if it's shades are grateful and cooling and the darkness is not too deep. and then to emerge into a sunlit spot, is a.sign of happy life, of mer- riment of clean joys.
