iOked.
Before Bruce. went home he had
rented the house and paid a months
rent in advance. When they first
want TO Westfield and were pretty
hard up Muriel had admired that par
ticular house and wished they could
afford it. Now that he had the money
he thought how it would please her
and what a delightful surprise it
would be for her.
He told her of his fathers gift, then
said:
III give you three guesses as to
what have done with it-part of it. ="
Don't tease me, dear. You knew
| could never guess

- "You'vc-rented-it-without ask

Yes. 1t was my surprise for YOU,
I knew you wanted the place and we
ran buy a new rug for the living
room, monographs and some records
and a few other things we want. l
must sit right down and thank the
old dear for being 50 generous"
Not a word did Muriel say. She
turned and went out of the room, leav-
ing him writing. He called after her:
''Oh, Muriel. The boys at the office
found out it was my birthday and
some of them are coming over to-
night. Wen hurry through dinner and
I'll skip out and order ice cream and
cake. Marrha can make coffee
Sill no answer.
Bruce finished his letter. frank,
boyish epistle, thanking his father
and telling him what he was going
to DO with the money. Then he hur-
ried out to the dining room.
Dinner ready" he asked.
Eyes, SIR" Martha answered.
With his usual puBctiliOusness in
little things he drew out Muriel's
chair, then seated himself, chatting
gaily about the new living quarters.
Suddenly he stopped.

the transaction OF
business or in preaching a sermon.
Listen with undivided attention TO
the ticking of n clock. Hold your
mind upon it. Just concentrate upon
the Tick-Tock Textbook. Allow no
thought to intrude. Continually lis
ten to the Textbook until the time
you set yourself is up. A minute, to
begin with, is sufficient. But 1t
should be increased little each day.
You can best determine the increase.
Another good method is pressing
the thumb of one hand into the palm
of the other. Close your eyes and
center your attention upon the point
of pressure. Move the hand slightly
to help focus the attention. Continue
the drill for few moments and you
will find an ever increasing ability
developing to hold out foreign or
tramp thoughts.

Concentrate upon a mental picture,
created in the imagination--fOr in

n blackboard, or a cross of light on
a black background.
With eyes closed, see it with the
minds eye. as certain size and shape,
never allowing it to vary, never let

shapes.
When you have succeeded with
these simple exercises, try reading at
tentatively a fulsome paragraph of
type-several times if you like-and
then writing it down as near as you
can remember. Do not memorize it.
Just concentrate the attention upon
it, absorbing what it will pick up in
given number of readings. To
memOrize is to parrot; to concentrate
and absorb is to know. You will find
after little practice, you will remcm

having made the slightest effort TO
commit it to memory verbatim.
This completed, try even more para
graphs of more difficult character,

familiar with, and you will find that
your concentration absorbs anything
TO which you give attention.
These mental gymnastics are adj
vanccd with the purpose of helping
you to strengthen your mind by in
creosing your power of concentration.

decorated with row of tiny cockades
in braid while others fasten at the
throat with ribbon rOsettes.
Paris, Feb. 21.-A fetching bit of
jewelry is the newest bracelet shown
today which by reason of a frilly bow
is much more obtrusive than bracelets
usually are. The bow is of gauze,
several inches wide and stands out in
sprightly fashion horizontally across
the wrist. The bracelet is often of
Oynx.
London, Feb. 21.-The cross-OvCr
