makes for continent or the opposite has always been to me one of great interest.
 wonder if it is true that to the average foreigner we give an impression of unrest, of discomfort. 1 am an American and, naturally, cannot see us with the eyes of a stranger, and yet should rather doubt that American wom- en as a whole are discontented or look so. There are certain conditions of American life which might make for discontentment. But it seems to me that there are other conditions which should make it easier for American women to be content than the women of any other country.
 To make myself clear must tell that I believe that 1 have discovered how to achieve contentment-that is, content ment, as distinct from absolute happi- ness. There are few to whom the gods give that. My recipe for contentment consists of two ingredients, work or essential interest for every day and what should be the natural reaction an independence from the search for hectic excitement.
 There are more women in America doing jobs, working, than in any other country, but I'm afraid we must ac- knowledge that, curiously, there exists desire for superficial excitement, a boredom with the simple pleasures of life that does not exist in other coun- tries. There is no doubt that the wom- en of society, the women who have no jobs, know less about living than people of any other country. But they are a comparatively small number. They may be and look discontented because they do not know what to do with their days. They have brains which they do not use. They have powers and capa- cities which they allow to lie dormant.
 Contentment, I am convinced, comes from day Interestingly passed, from a job well done, from an ambition be- ginning to be fulfilled. Contentment is not physical, it is not material, it is purely mental. Also, it is something that is within the power of all of us to achieve. By contentment I do not mean being sleepily stolid. I do not mean lack of ambition, or desire for progress. On the contrary, ambition, the desire and force which makes us care enough for something to fight to achieve it is one of the greatest sources of real contentment in life.
 Contentment does not mean death but life. It-dOes not mean days lacking in disappointments and tribulations; it means vitality, interest, being mentally occupied, alive and having the sense of progress and development. These are things that no one can touch or take from us, that give us strength to with stand the many knocks and setbacks that life has in store for all of us.

The Magician laughed softly to him self and then said: "Ill tell you g secret, Raggedy Ann," he said, Il make the treasures and pretend that Pirates buried them years ago. It is just like a game of hide and seek and I get lot of fun out of it. So if you hunt, al most anywhere upon this island, you will find a buried treasure |" And chuckling to himself, the Magician turned and walked back down the path towards his little cottage.
 "Well, we'll, well P was all Raggedy Ann could say. Do you spect that he was trying to fool us again"

In slabs of Triassic rock little de-
pressions are often seen that have
been called fossil raindrops," the
idea being that they were formed by
showers on muddy sea beaches. and
preserved by being covered with a
layer of mud at the next high tide.
But lately 1t has been suggested, In
view of observations on flood plain
in the Dorm valley, that the supposed
impressions of raindrops may really
be due to pittings formed by bubbles
in a film Of mud at the bottom of shall
low water. There have been watched
the formation of many pittings, and it
has been found that after the mud had
dried they exactly resemble fossil
raindrops."

MANY WAYS 70 KEEP YOUNG
Shaggy Eyebrows Should Be Plueked
and Gray Hair Cut
Short.
aYou,re AGED a good deal !"

"You've aged good deal
It's not very nice remark to have
flung at you, is 1t? But, nine times
out of ten, you have only yourself to
blame for the annoyance 1t causes
you. For, with little trouble, you
can make yourself look younger.
Shaggy eyebrows, with one OF two
coarse and stiff hairs protruding, add
age to mans face. The protruding
hairs should be plucked out gently
with tweezers, the eyebrows trimmed.
and for softening purposes, a little
olive oil should be applied every other
night. The effect has to be seen to be
believed. Five years off !!
The lower the hair Is permitted to
grow at the temples the older a man
looks. A young man of twenty-five
looks thirty-fve If he has kept up last
years fleeting fashion of inch-long
side whiskers.
Men of forty and over should keep
the line of hair at the temples as
high as possible. Experiments will
show what height best suits par
ticular face.
Many men, too, whose hair parting
has never been varied, could make
themselves look much younger if they
moved it. The arid area where the
old parting touched the forehead
would then be covered. Make few
partings to judge the effect Very
often a middle parting gives the
youngest appearance.
Gray hair gives an old look If al
lowed to grow long, or to lie fiat. 1t
should be kept short, and brushed
hard and frequently-back from the
temples especially. This gives the
''well-groomed" effect-always an age
reducer.
Short hair, too, when well brushed,
stands out from the skull, and small
crop takes the appearance of quite
