Thoughts
On "GentIeness as a Practice"

NUR friend, Marcus Aurelius,
says: Consider that gem
tleness is invincible. proYid-
ed it is Of the right stamp, without
anything of hypocrisy or malice
This is the way to disarm the most
insolent if you continue kind and
unmoved under ill-usage; if you
strike in with the right opportunity
for advice; if, when he is trying to
do you an i'll turn, you endeavor to
recover his understanding and re-
trieve his temper by such language
as this, I shall not be injured, you
are only injuring yourself Show
him that bees never sting their own
kind"
This is good teaching, and it is in
teresting to note what the pagan
philosopher was thinking only few
years after the Nazarene had fin
ished teaching that nobler doctrine
of brotherly love, gentleness, and al
truism that are at the foundation of
the moral as well as the spiritual
code of Christianity.
There is no passage in all scrip
ture that has been more misinter-
preted than that suggestive Of turn
ing the other cheek. Sects have
been formed on this passage Of
Scripture. They have usually dem.
onstrated one thing. 1t is this:
You can not reason with insane peo-
pie. Hang to your ethics as long as
possible. Act mildly to the limit.
Be gentle to the sane. Be kind to
the insane. Summon all your ar
guments, but when the tiger flies at
your throat, either fight or run.
And IL he is man-eating tiger, your
duty as an exemplar of gentleness is
to fight. Your first duty in gentle
ness is to the unprotected-to So
ciety in general.
YesI The old pagan was right.
Remember how unconcernedly Soc
rates wore his old sheepskin when
his scolding wife, Xanthippe, stole
his only coat and ran out of the
house with it. Xanthippe did it to
see Socrates get mad. Socrates de-
clined to be angry. Xanthippe never
tried it again. The soft answer
does indeed turn away wrath. Try
it. And not only try that, but also
try to be no partner in wrath. Let
God alone indulge in WRATH against
them that wilfully do wrong in His
sight. Your part is to keep out of
1t, altogether.

ers are light blue, delicate green and
pinky tan, with a liberal dash of
orange and sprinkling of black.
The next trimming is the circular
trimming, and this is made of cable

the silk as for tubing, then fasten
bodkin at one end, inserting it to

For the peasant treatment the soft

proceeds. 1t is an excellent idea to
bore two holes in each end of the
box for the insertion of handles,
which can be made of rope knotted
at the inside ends to keep it in place.
In this way the stool can be lifted
or easily dragged from one spot to
another. Heavy black portiere cord
makes excellent handles, but if first
covered with a cylinder of cretonne,
clothes line will make pretty good
handles, too.
The box itself may be padded with
first layer of some thick, soft ma
terial, but this first layer is not
necessary, and cretonne of kind to
harmonic with the rest of the room
can be stretched over the box.

~ HAT old device Of making a
workbasket and a footstool in
one has been too long neg
lected. Every sewing woman likes to
have a sewing receptacle of consid-
cradle size in a convenient place, yet
hesitates to have it where she would
like it bestA-in the living room. If,
how ever, the sewing receptacle can
do double duty and serve as a foot
stool when not open it will be an
addition to the room at any and all
times.
For the purpose take heavy,

AGNES AyREs AT PALACE


Agnes Ayres' latest Paramount star
ring vehicle 'grhe Heart Raider"
proved to be delightfully."- entertain
ing production at its premiere at the
Palace theater today.
This picture, light comedy of love
and adventure, directed by Wesley
Ruggles, is an ideal vehicle for Miss
Ayres. The star, in the role of Muriel
Gray, speed girl member of the fast
social set at Palm Beach, is known as
one who gets everything she sets her
heart on. And when she decides to
win John Dennis, a wealthy bachelor,
he turns her down. When he decides
to escape in his yacht, she swims out
to the vessel, and on getting aboard
induces the captain to permit her to
remain. When Dennis discovers her
the next morning, dressed in bath
ing suit and Southwestern, he decides to
put her ashore. A severe storm arises,
and then follow several thrilling
scenes and a decidedly novel climax.
Supporting the star is superb cast
which includes, among others, Mahlon
Hamilton, Charles Ruggles, Frazer
Coulter, Marie Burke and Charles
Regal.
The Keith vaudeville bill will have
four fine acts featuring DuBall and
Mckenzie, in a great singing and
dancing act; Emma Stevens in new
songs at the piano; Britt and Clifford,
a very clever pair of black face come

Ince and Brother Of Anita Stewart

New York, Aug. 16.--Widely diver

George Stewart, brother of Anita
Stewart, film star, had his skull frac-
tured following road house party on
the Boston Post road early on the
morning of Aug. were told yester-
day by attorneys for Stewart and for
Ralph Ince, film actor and director

til the following day, when he was
taken to the Hospital for Ruptured

critical condition -.....s
Concerning Battle.
Nathan Vidaver, Ince's attorney,
admitting an alteration between his
client and Stewart, who is twenty
and much smaller than Ince, said
Stewart was the aggressor, having
taken offense when Ince spoke to an
enemy of Stewart at the Post Inn,
near Rochelle. He says Stewart be-
came so abusive on the way home
that Ince got out of the car (Anita
Stewards limousine) to take a taxi
cab and Stewart jumped after him.
A struggle followed and Stewart fell,
striking his head on the sidewalk.
Ince, whose wife is sister of AMI
ia Stewart, has filed suit for divorce.
1T is rumored this action created in
tense feeling between Ince and Stew
art. Malevinsky said Stewart was
host that night to party including
lnce. Cyrel Ring, movie actor, and his
wife, and Joseph Mobile and his wife,
who was Julia Ring. He bases his
version of the affair, he says, on state
