The Glide Post
By Henry Van Dyke
The False and the True

Teacher, we know that Thou are
true.-Matt. 22:16.
The false is opposed to the true,
and that opposition is always one and
the same.
But we see it in different lights
and may express 1t in different terms.
The false is fictitious or imaginary,
the true is real and actual; and the
difference between them is the diff
ference between an illusion and a
fact.
The false is partial and incomplete,
the true is perfect and exact and cor
responds to its idea.
The false circle is not a circle, but
an oval; the true circle has every
point Of its circumference equidis-
tant from the center. and the differ
ence between them Is the difference
between an approximation and full
fillment
The false is deceptive. and appears
to be what it is not; the true is gen.
uine and shows itself for what it is.
guise, a. true friend is one who feels
the love that he processes. and the
difference between them is the differ
ence between hypocrisy and honesty.
The false is that which changes,
and fails, and disappoints us, the true
is that which is firm, steadfast and
trustworthy.
A false promise is made to be bro
ken, a true promise is made to be
kept, and the difference between them
is the difference between unfaithful-
ness and fidelity.

/ be put over the brush and the hair
polished. The cotton takes off dirt,
grease and powder and leaves the
hair glossy.
An easier way is to purchase coarse
~ ground corn meal. You can shake
out Il remarka BILE amount of fine dust
from this by putting the meal in a
cheesecloth bag. Use the coarse part,
rub thoroughly through the hair,
shake and brush out and polish as
sugg rested before.
AS l said, lotions for a waterless
shampoo must contain alcohol or
ether, since they must not only dry
quickly but also must absorb grease.
Don't use them if you have a ten
dency toward gray hair.
Dumpy-As you are fifty pounds
overweight and only twenty-three
years of age, it is advisable for you
10 be under the care of the doctor
while reducing to normal. The only
healthful way to do this is through
the diet. Take about one year to
effect this change, arranging the diet
so you will not lose more than five
pounds each month.
Pats-There is no reason why YOU
should not bob your hair at seven
teen, and | should think you would
find plenty of other girls in your
junior section of the hight school
who do not think they are too old
for wearing their hair in this con-
venient and becoming style.
Wear your dresses at any length

Himself.

Somewhere between two and three
years of living among the good peo-
pie of this world the baby finds him
self growing a personality all his
own. 1t seems to arrive with a
set of disagreeable qualities all its
own. There are some lucky young
sters who find self cropping out.
accompanied by winning graces and
dimpling smiles. But they're the
lucky ones. Most of them come with
tempers and howlings and stampings
and what their mothers call naugh-
tiness.
The child who has been the pet
of the house suddenly lies on the
floor, red in the face and kicking.
He has been asked to do some or
dinary little thing like picking up
his story book and putting it on the
window seat.
"Ba-a-a! Naw-w-w-wi Ba-a-a-a,"
he howls, with kicking and stamping
accompanimenb.
What is to be done with him
Usually his mother picks him up and
that he must stop this stop 1T now.
Do you hear me? Stop it or I'll have
to give you a. spanking" Then there
follows an hour or more of battle
until the little fellow is laid in bed,
perspiring and sobbing, to sleep it off
Unless he has been given firmly to
understand that this performance is
going to bring him nothing but great
discomfort, he will do it again.
Dramatics of any sort appeal TO the
child who is just discovering his per-
sonality keenly.
Even being spanked and shaken
and scolded has a thrilling side that
is not altogether unpleasant. Tears

Visiters are people that come and

or This is an unexpected plezzure,

A lady visiter stays longer than a
man Visiter and 2 lady visiters stay
longer than one on account OF them
both having a lot they wunt to say
and not being able to tawk at the
same time all the time. Sometimes 2
lady visiters and your mother all
tawk at once without eny of them
lissening. proving watts fair to one is

ornamented with an attra ctive design
applied just above the hem. This de-
sign may be put on with stencil, ap-
piled free hand or appliqued in the
same or some other material. The
all-over chintz itself makes pretty
shades, but many homemakers do not
want to use them, because they have
hangings of chintZ at the windows,
and q chintZ shade in addition gives a
confused effect and is too much of a
good thing"
The shades shown in the cottage
sketched today are particularly pret-
ty. They are of highly glazed chintz,
in plain reSeda green, giving very
cool and inviting look to the white
clapboarded facade. On each shade
is a quaint basket of flowers cut out
OF plain glazed chintz in such colors
as bright blue, rose, violet and yellow.
These pieces are basted on to the
shade (Which has been hemmed be-
forehand), and the whole shade is
then slipped into the sewing machine
and the appliqued pieces are stitched
down.
OF course this basket of flowers
could be applied by stencil or even
painted on free hand, after being
drawn in with pencil. The applilued
glazed chintz, however. makes the
basket stand up in bold relief, and,
as the surface is the same as the
shade, the whole thing is of the same
shining appearance. Other old fash
iored designs for use on such shades
are the quaint urn OF grasses, the
weeping willow or even a. straight
band across the shade, with a SCROLL
like design in color.

Hair Powders.

One of the most annoying things to
attempt at home is a dry shampoo.
There are only a few lotions on the
market for this purpose and most of
them contain a very high percentage
of alcohol, SO that they dry the scalp
too much and even in time turn the
hair gray. Shampoo powders make
the hair fluffy and are quite harmless,
but they also make it very dusty
looking. Yet there are times when
the hair needs a shampoo, when soap
and water cannot be used.
Here are some suggestions. If you
can purchase shampoo powder col
Ored the shade of your hair, do so. as
this will be less likely to give your
hair that ugly, dusty look. These are
very hard to find, and the only SuE-
geStion / can give you for making
such powder is to melt Jumps of
laundry starch in very strong, cold
coffee, and when it settles to pour
off as much liquid as possible and
let the starch dry. When dry it can
easily be crushed into powder again
and used. II will be a light brown

it becomes water, and that water mus,
run off somewhere. Sooner or later
most of 1t reaches the Laughing Brook
and goes down the Laughing Brook
to the Big River, and down the Big
River to the Great Ocean. When the
water does not come in to the Laugh
ing Brook too fast there is no trouble
But when it pours in, as 1T was doing
this spring, the banks of the Laughine
Brook are not high enough to hold il
all.
From the time the ice had dissn-
peared Jerry Muskrat had watched
the water in the Laughing Brook and
the Smiling Pool. At first he had not
been at all anxious, but when it had
risen to a certain point on his house
he began to grow nervous. You see
if 1t rose too high it would get inside
his house and fill that snug bedroom
of his so that he could not live there
1t was almost UP to the floor of his
bedroom when sweet Mistress Spring
arrived. Then it began to rise faster
than ever
Jerry went out and climbed up or
the top Of his house that he might
see better. The Smiling Pool was al
ready almost big enough to be called
a pound. The Laughing Brook nc
longer laughed; it roared. The water
was rushing down it SO fast that it
roared. While he sat there he saw
the water creep a little higher up the
sides of his house.
II guess l shall have to move .
muttered Jerry. II guess shall have
to go over to my castle in the bank
Never have I seen the water come
down SO fast. This is a. good house
I worked hard to build this house
built 1t just as we'll as l know how,
don't want to lose it. But If this
water keeps rising, / am afraid I will
lose 1t. 1 am afraid it will sween
my house away just as happened once
before"
He dived and went inside. The wa.
ter was just beginning to trickle in
over the floor of his bedroom. Pretty
soon there was no place where he
could lie down and keep dry. Jerry
shook his head. i've got to move :
said he.

WHAT TODAY MEANS
TO YOU.
Taurus.
By MARY BLAKE.

There are several adverse aspects
today, and only one that is favorable
which tends to impart something of
value. The full benefit of this can
only be reaped if harmony of mind is
maintained. Any excessive mental
activity should be discouraged. Be
calm and deliberate, and You will be
able to accomplish something worth
while, although tho day is not suit
social matters.
a child born today will be subject
to more than the ordinary risks of
sickness in early life. Its character
will be gentle, and it's affections will
often be bestowed on those unworthy
of them.
If today is your birthday, you pos
SeSS a very strong intellect, All in
domitable will and forceful person
ality. You are ambitious, but rarely
reach your goal, as, in the give-and-
take of life, you are never disposed
to concede any merit in your oppo-
nent's plan. You make up your mind
quickly, and once decision is
right one and 40 other is worthy of
con nSideration.
The old adage that half a loaf Is
better than none" is wasted on you,
and you claim the whole pound of
flesh" all the time. Your mind is in
no way judicial, and you always go to
extremes 1t is always more advan-
tageouS to be able to see two sides
than to see one-yours.
In your relations with the opposite
sex you can never see any extenuat-
ing circumstances if what is done
does not elicit the approval of your
self f-constituted bar of justice" over
which you preside as judge and jury.
In your home life your snap judg-
ments often cause dissension, and the
conviction you possess OF being right
all the time often puts you in
wrong" with those near and dear to
you.
In your business and social activi-
ties your assertive qualities always
make YOU a leader. but the leadership
is sometimes a very lonely position
to hold.
Conviction need not necessarily be-
come a means of creating animosi-
ties, and it is always prudent to bear
in mind that more flies are caught
with molasses than with vinegar"

'If you want some flowers TO use

may have all you want from our

quiet girl, who lived in the next
block from Betty.
What kind have you?" Betty
asked, thanking her
Come over and I'll show you." was
the reply.
Then Lillian took Betty out to a
pretty little garden at the end OF her
back yard. There were tall purple
iris in bloom and whole bushes full
of pink peonies Down by the gate
was lilac bush with lavender clus-
ters of smelling flowers.
These lilacs will be nice to use
for the queens crown" cried Betty.
"Oh, I just can't wait for the May

There are combinations Of black and
white that are appropriate for second
mourning and others that we feel
are not, and the question is SIM
ply one that we settle on the author
ity OF our own eyes and our own
taste.
Stripes, checks and plaids of black
and white are apt to be too striking
for sk'ond mourning. So also polka
dots are very apt to be. The effect Is
more suitable. though often quite as
smart. when there is a fairly large
area of black used in combination
with the white, or vice versa The
frock in the sketch is one recently
made for half mourning. The frocll
itself is of black crepe. Tucked white
georgette forms panel from shoul-
der to hem at the right side and also
undersleeves. 1t might appropri-
ately be worn with unornamented
black suede or kid pumps with
stockings of clear gray If black
stockings are disliked.

Decorative Window Shades.
BY HELEN KENDALL

The day is rapidly passing when
the windows of our cheerful homes
are blighted by heavy, duil-colored
shades, that not only shut out the sun
and the pasSerby, but which actually
seem to shut out enthusiasm, merri-
ment and hospitality A window
shade should, in my opinion, serve
the same purpose as our clothing
afford protection from sun and cold,
give privacy and modesty, and be
ance.
A pleasing variation Of the popular
chintz-patterned shades now widely
used in country houses and suburban
cottages is the shade in plain color
