"FORCIVINC WEEK"

During the last year or so it has become the custom to
set aside certain weeks for the observance Of special things.
We have had "Clean Speech Week, . ''Smile Week" "Hu-
name Week, and many others. This has proved a splendid
thing to do. The public has responded. The interest, good
feeling and optimism which these various weeks have created
has been stimulating and generally helpful.
| learned the other day of a week that TO my way OF
thinking is better than any of these. Do you know that in
Brittany once a year they have what is known as "Forgiving
Weck?'' Enstranged friends come together; old grudges and
qnarreIs are forgiven. Indignant and provoked ~neighbors
forget their wrath and forgive one another. Offended and tiff
ted members of a family forget and forgive one another's
petty iealousies. Sort of a moral housekeeping. Doesn't it
), rhe you asa excellent plan? \
Every good housekeeper in the spring of the year gives
arr house a thorough cleaning. Shouldn't we do as much for
our moral abode? When our house has been all cleaned; the
rags beaten, the curtains Numbered and put up fresh, pos
sibly our living room redecorated, and some worn chairs new
y upholstered, how much more pleasure and comfort we take
out Of our home. Ism the same thing true of our moral dwell
ing9 Don't you always feel better after you have cleaned
your heart Of the cobwebs and dust of old grudges and bitter
memories?
Remember the feeling of joy and light-heartedness that
came over you when you forgave that old time friend? And
1t is SO much better, isn't it, to be sociable and friendly again
with your next door ~neighbor? Yes, a "Forgiving Week. is a
splendid thing. The only suggestion I would offer to Brit
tanv's custom, is, thatinstead of one such week a year we have
many How about it?

othy, who was really a very fine
skater.

girls put their minds on their new
idea, the skating party"
They decided to have the party on
the evening of May 10, at seven
thirty, and our four churas were
each going TO invite a boy friend,
and also another couple. They were
going to skate until ten O'Clock or
later and then they would serve re-
freshments at Dorothys home.
A week passed, and then came the
great day. The girls were sure their
friends were coming and their party
would be a zee At seven hirty
the guests came, and then the party
began.
1t was a great success, and every
one enjoyed the evening of skating
and departed saying they had a
wonderful time.

said that their skating party WAS The
best party they ever held, and to
think a skating party would aus

Cosmetics and Population


Now comes the bronze complexion.
1t is used with all the bizarre color
combinations which the fashion
world is going to wish on us this
spring, and it is said to be very at
tractive on certain types.
In Paris they are using very white
makeup, with no rouge, but with
purple-lidded eyes, black lashes and
very bright red lips.
All of which is brought to mind
because of a certain college presi-
dents recent statement that America
spends far more money on cosmetics
than it does ON education.
Well, suppose it does. Education
presupposes a rising generation to
educate. And a rising generation in
turn naturally harks back to

1t was a warm afternoon in the
month of May, and the sun shone
through the sky and shed Its sun
light on every uplifted flower.
In the little town of Elmsyille. on
a. certain sunny street, four bright
girl chums of sixteen were seated on
the porch of their chum's nome, and
were planning a party.
Betty, who was listening in silence,
and not making any suggestion,
now thought she better say some
thing before the other three had set
their minds on having a house.
party.
We'll" began Betty. II really
think We ought to plan something
else instead of a house party, be-
cause it is too warm to stay in the
house and try to enjoy ones self on
a wonderful moon light night, as we
are having during this MONTH"
This suggestion flashed through
the other girls minds, and Dorothy
was the first to reply.
II agree with Betty, don't you,
girls? asked Dorothy, her eyes
sparkling like diamonds.
well, If two vote against our
house party. we will have to change
our minds also, Margaret" another
of the quartette said.
Then. girls, let US have a roller

to have her mind set on n rollec

since the middle of January. and we
| have had a wonderful time. The
best OF it is, the girls have all stayed
friends.
To begin with. we found that there
was a girl living quite near us, who
was studying fancy dancing in At
advanced class. and she was willing
to come and teach US what she was
learning. She could only come every
other Saturday, so We girls found II
possible to pay her fifty cents
apiece when we met. The other
Saturdays we met just the same. and
worked on some things We were
making to sell $50 that we could
pay for our own dancing lessons
ourselyes), and also for our Victrola
records and the other little things
we needed for our lessons. Our uni
forms, which were simply our gym
suits, we had anyway, and We had
to get just the ballet slippers. Thcn,
after working for a couple OF hours.
we would put away our things, and
practice III dancing lesson OF the
week before. all by ourselves.
We are planning an exhibition in
May, and II is going to be the love-
hest party. z are indhiI6 OUf VS.
tunes now. they are quite simple
but such dainty colors. all the colors
of the rainbow. One of our most
attractive dances is the Rainbow
Dance. The exhibition is really just
a little dance, that we are inviting
our friends 10. with u few inter-
pretiYe dances at the beginning. so
that the girls ran change to their
regular clothes for the party dane
ing. 1 think it is going to be a
pretty party.
1 do hope that girls in other towns
will try our plan next season. We
have found it such fun. 1t has been
fine exercise and we have learned
these graceful dances, and as you
said. Mary G, we have all been so
HAPPY while we were dancing.
That is the best part of all.
