UNTIRING PATIENCE

m o GO complainingly through lifs
= from year to year is one of the
sure ways of making yourself mIser-
able and curtailing your earthly exist
ence. In such state Of mind no man
or woman can hope for great achieve
ment.
If you have any grit or spirit, If
you have desire to make progress
In your vocation, whether 1t be build
ing bridges, painting pictures or max
ing dresses, you will find as You wend
your may on the brief journey that it
will In the end be exceedingly profit
able to you to pay court to patience
1t is the patient who are first to
find plentitude and content.
Day by day they mount a little high
or. Week by week they become strong
er. They accept adverse criticism
with listening ears and smiling lips.
They are never gross of speech nor in
considerable of the sensiDilities of
others.
They refuse to pose as heroes when
in their hearts they know they are
towards. as the most of us are. when
by some sudden shift Of circumstances
ne are put TO the test.
The patient prefer to- keep honor
bright rather than to yield to base de
ception. They are not in haste to get
rich They refrain from judgment of
others, being too much occupied with
Judgment of themselves
They begin their duties In the
morning quietly. They deliver their
words gently and hold to their pur-
pose Of being patient throughout the
day, however trying the day may be.
There is always about them that sub
tie power which commands and retains
enduring respect.
The impulsive come to them for adj
vice. And If you win give your vision
! wider field in observing you will dis
cover that In any grave crisis the world |
nrst turns to these patient folk for
solution Of its difficulties.
Patience and application go safely |
over the toughest paths and scale the
heights that pierce the clouds, and |
dwell in perpetual sunshine. There
3 no barrier patience cannot eventually |
solve. 1t grows not in every garden,
,nly where there are fortitude, friend
mess and faith, the three sisters who
BRING to the world and Its peoples the
brightest star Of Hope and the sweet
st blessings from Heaven.

NOVELTY IN BRIDGE WHIST
Game Evolved by Eastern Expert Ia
Said 20 Havs Found Much
Favor With PIayera

Next to being completely ma
rooned on desert island, the most
depressing experience that can be
imagined is that of three persons
desiring to play game of bridge
and unable to secure the fourth
player.
There may never be any need for
the repetition of the reputed action
Of the judge who sent out and ar
rested man merely to secure the
needed fourth hand in a bridge
party, for the reason that really
interesting three-handed game of
bridge has been discovered. Under
these conditions the usual method is
to deal four hands and each player
bids for the dummy. At best it is
sort of cut-throat game and Of little
interest.
The new game has originated
with & member of the Art club in
Philadelphia and consists Of expos
ing six cards in the dummy hand.
II you are bridge player try it
some time. 1t makes much better
game than the old way. In fact,
many persons prefer it to the four
handed game. It has many points
to recommend it.

 J. l.. Andrews is president of the Country club, and was the host on this occasion, assisted by a large number of charming nlatrons and pretty maids. Misses Louise Andrews, Mildred Logomarsine, Clarisa Rogah and Catherine Cook. received tho guests as they arrived.
