DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE,
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

through their children, and that the
smallest thing that he does is of
more importance to them than public
events that shake the world. He
knows that only in words OF af-
lection and appreciation ard graft
tudo can he repay his debt for all
the sacrifices they made for him His
inns gination is dull. indeed, If he
does not picture the old people
watching for the letter that never
comes. If he does not vision the
hope that springs into their breasts
as the Dostman pauses at their gate,
the dull despair that settles Gown
on them as he passes by.
The man pleads that he is too
busy, too rushed with work to write
back home, but he isn't too busy
to answer the letter that will bring
him more business, yet what bust
ness is so important as bringing q
little cheer into the drab lives Of
those who have little left to interest
and entertain them?
Be sure the time will come when
man will look down on the dead
face of his old mother, and he will
be gladder to remember the loving
letters he wrote her than he would
be to have written a Six Best Seller
or a letter that brought him $4,000
worth of orders.
But if we sin in failing to write
those letters that we should have
written, we equally sin in writing
letters which we should not have
written. Chief among these is the
blue letter, and herein women are
the great offenders.
There are women whose letters
make the Lamentations of Jeremiah
read like merry wheeze. And
when you get one of their epistles
you feel like taking a dose of rough
on rats, and getting out of a world
that has got nothing in it but afflic-
tons. They literally comb their
community for horrors, and there
isn't a case of sickness or a broken
nose Or a bankruptcy or a scandal
or anything unpleasant that they
do not retail for your benefit. And
they always wind up by telling you
that they don't think they will live
long, and that they pine for your
society in their departing days.
Such letters take all Of the heart
out of you. They break down your
morale, and when they come to one
who is already staggering along un,
der all the load that he or she can
bear, they are nothing less than a
crime. Somehow the written word
has far more weight than the spoken
word, and so no letter should ever
be sent that does not carry with it
message Of cheer and hope.
OF course. the most dangerous sin
of commission in letter writing is
the love letter, and to this weakness
women are likewise especially prone.
For alas, only too many women go
on an ink jag and write things to
men which they are ashamed to re-
member, and which they often have
to pay good money to get back.
The only way to write a safe love
letter is to keep it on the ice for
twenty-four hours after you have
written it. Then it never will be
sent.
The morale of all Of which is that
we should write plenty of letters,
but we should write each letter as
if it were one day likely to be read
aloud in court.
DOROTHY DIX.

and crannies of the house will be

do not need starching, yet do need
a little body given them, use gum
arabic in the water, this gives just
the body that new material has and
yeally does keep the curtains look
ing fresh a much longer time.
If you have bare floors and rugs,
it will pay to use liquid wax on
your floors. Now I do not mean to
rub them until they are slippery,
for l think that is dangerous, but
the wax makes them so much easier
to keep clean, dry mop over them
and they look bright and fresh.
If you will make a memorandum
of your summer things as you put
them away. when spring comes
again you will find it a great saw
ing of time not to have to open
each package, nor go into every
closet before finding a garment you
need.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.

Says No Guide Furnished


when it comes to telling what I
know about God as thus conceived I
hesitate to take the step as the topic
is one on which, so far as I have
been able to ascertain, experience
furnishes us no adequate guide and
any conclusions to which we may
come will be in the very nature Of
the case of a, tentative and highly
speculative character. Experience
reveals to us that the spirit of love
and truth has an abiding place in
human consciousness. That much at
least We are capable OF knowing.
What we may safely infer beyond
that point is to my thinking far
from clear. Whether this same spir-
it which manifests itself in human
life is independent of experience,
whether it is a mysterious some
thing which has an existence apart
from the mind which feels it, is a
question to which [ fear [ am in
no position to give a satisfactory an
sWer
THE historic Christian church has
for the most part maintained that
the spiritual God of Love and Truth
and the metaphysical God of ON
impotence, omniscience and omni-
presence are identical. I have never
been able to convince myself that
this is the case except in the some
what far-fetched sense that both
ideas are derivable from the primi-
tive conception of a tribal god 1t
seems to me that there is entirely
too much of suffering and misery in
the operations of nature and in the
records of human history to warrant
us in nequiVocably recognizing in
them clear manifestation of the
will of an entity which is supposed
to stand in relation to, living beings
in the position of a loving parent to
his offspring. This is a difficulty
which has made itself felt ever since
the dawn OF the theological specula-
ton, and which has forced even
avowedly monotheistic religions to
postulate the existence of what is es.
