AFTER REAL SERVICE

Mary Garden called on Mr.. Coue
for real service the other day She
sought Improvement, press tele-
gram says. "for her health, her
voice and ner disposition" Miss
Garden has true conception of
possible values through autosugges-
ton. The French apostle of physi-
cal and mental health received her
gladly, impaired to ner his principles
of conduct, and his distinguished
patient left his presence enthusiastic
in praise of what she had been told.
Incidentally. Miss Garden was ac-
cused of declaring that her voice
mad improved 100 per cent in four
weeks under M. Coue's Suggestion.
That. of course, is impossible, as all
who have heard her sing will agree.
When in France, the artistic will
spend some time under her physi-
clans direction.
But now frank it is for any per-
son to seek improvement of the dis
position! In health, in personal
physical charms. in voice. in manners
and in mind, yes; but the DISPOSE
ton of man or woman, that atti-
tude toward other. is seldom con-
sidered by the great majority. To
suggest that any lady's disposition
might be improved verges on insult.
No man would suggest such a thing
to anyone dear to him. But Miss
Garden, always sincere, has made
open confession not only that her
disposition might be improved, but.
what is greatly to ner credit, that
she wants it to be better.
So, as she chants "every day, in
ever way, my disposition is getting
better and BETTER" we may be pre-
mitted to express the hope that
many men, who really need such a
cnange in their bearing to those
about them, may emulate the fine
example of Miss Garden.-Chicago

THE GREAT HARMONY
Fort Yates, N. d.,


Feb. z, 1923.
Editor Tribune:
Human nature, by and large, is
tempted to cry calamity over pres
ent conditions, both national and
international, because vagaries, So
cial and political, flaunt themselves
with scream, and hatred and mean
ness with a shout.
The real truth is that there is
such potency in the unyielding SEN
timent Of strong, clear, righteous
thinkers, in the beauty of present
pure and generous living, and of
the virility, not merely of the mill
tary but of the rank and file, that
the INSIDERS have to shrek to at
tract attention. This spectacular
condition is the falsetto which is
no real part of the great harmony.
DR.. Van Dyke well said:
'Life is in tune with harmony so

with impunity. The German may no.

ed. The Turk may not be relentless
The Khan is not always invisible
The political Juggling is certainly

face. Beneath is the deep undertone
of righteous souls true, calm poised

ADVENTUREOF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Barton Roberts

The next fairy to come to the
hickory three postofiice for his mail
was Buskins, the apple tree fairy.
He ran the elevator up to the sky
and knew everybody up there, so, of
course, he always got a great many
letters.
Sure enough, there was an enor-
nous stack for him and most of them
were valentines.
The first one he opened was from
kite in Kiteland. Buskins read it
to Nancy and Nick and Mr. Stamps
the postman:
81 like to fly up in the sky
And hope to see you bye and bye,
I'm tied to a piece Of Irvine,
But yet I'll be your valentine"
The next was from balloon in
Balloon Land:
"Tm light as air and very hollow,
But where you go I'll always follow,
l love you last, l. love you first,
With love for you I'll surely burst"
Buskins laughed. II hope not" he
said. THAT would be dreadful!"~
The next valentine the apple tree
fairy opened was from soap bubble
in Soap Bubble Land:
"Nice little fairy man,
Try and catch me if you can,
When l sail up to the sky,
I'll blow kiss as pass Bly,"
That's pretty one, too," said
Buskins. '"My, oh, my! neve,
knew had so many friends"
Then he opened another.
1t was from the dandelion fairy
up is Thistledown Land. 1t went:
81 am feecy and white,
Though my flower was yellow
fly to the sky
With my little umbrella,
Now. Buskins, won't you
Be my valentine? Do!
If you're caught in the rain,
l have quite room for two"
"That's very kind, little friend"
said the apple tree fairy. Sometime
l may accept your kind invitation"
