Defending the Truth.

The truth shall make you free

1t is a curious delusion that many
men cherish, this idea that without
their aid truth will perish.
They forget that truth is not de-
pendent on their puny assistance.
She comes not as helpless SUD-
plant seeking for defense.
She comes as queen with glories
to bestow.
Those who have the grace to re-
cefve her she crowns with liberty.
Those who refuse her are slaves
no matter how vociferously they
One of the vices of this age is our
facile confusing of propaganda with
truth.
We think we are dealing with truth
when we declare the opinion of the
majority or utter the voice of a noisy
and determined minority.
Are numbers or vociferousness the
evidence of truth?
Or again we think we can impris-
on truth in our particular castle and
pose romantically as her defenders.
Was ever anything more ludicrous i?
Truth asks of men only to be recog-
nized and received.

Her enemies only enslave them
selves.
Her would-be defenders meet with
her solemn Scorn.
But upon those who honor her she
bestows the priceless gift of freedom.

When You Feel Plain.

There are moments when every
woman feels plain, no mater how
beautiful she is ordinarily. Either
her hair hangs Imply and unbecom-
ingly, or her complexion has gone
salloW and ugly, or full-f1edged wrin-
kles appear where no wrinkle was
ever seen before, or-but why go on
with the long list? We all know
those plain moments,
Personally, believe in doing some
thing frivolous and a little extrava-
giant at once. Having straight hair,
go forth and have it shampooed and
waved. I always feel that life is not
to be taken so seriously with quite
perfect marcel wave as with wisps
and strings Of hair that fly about in
the wrong directions. Try it, it's not
a bad way of getting over a plain"
moment Ordinarily waved hair may
not become you at all, but the chances
are nine to ten that it will when you
are out of sorts.
Or have a face massage. There's
something delightfully."- soothing about

Our Children-By Angelo Patri

tween ten and fourteen, approx
mately, boys have to have stories of
adventure, the wilder the better. The
boy whose face does not light I'D at
the mention of Treasure Island, is
in bad way. He's the one whose
reading I would look out for. He is
either very full and no reader at all,
or he is looking for the sort of read
ing that is unhealthy for him. Now
adays he will have to search hard to
find it; in spite of the occasional bad
book that filters through the sieves
set ready for them, books are good
and children relatively safe among
them.
And what books are to be recon-
mended for them? 1 should say the
ones on their parents library shelves,
with the addition of the few that
were written by masters of children's S
Iiterature-like Andersen and Kip
iing and Allcott. Read along with the
children and enjoy the stories with

As to Books.

What are the good books for chill
dren? There is no list that will fit
all children. The idea that it is pos
sible to make and hold all the
Youngsters to it is responsible for
a good deal of the trouble that arises
between parents and their children
over the reading question. A good
book is one that satisfies the minds
hunger, and minds. like stomachs,
are extremely individual and demand
personal attention.
There are some children who read
everything that's printed when it
comes their way: They begin with
the billboardS and continue with the
advertisements in the magazines and
then on to the books at hand. Those
children do not seem to be the sort
that are looking for forbidden fruit,
and when, now and then, they get
some, it does them no harm because
thew are not searching for it, Their
minds are directed other ways, and
the bit of the story that touches on
ills they know not of passes harm
lessly.
I cannot, for instance, see how any
child could get harm out Of reading

be bad for the child I don't
think so. Hetty's tragedy lies too
far beyond the experiences of ten
year-oid girl to have any effect, ex-
cept one of sympathy with her suf-
fering. The cause of her suffering,
the underlying horror of it, is merci-
fully sealed to children. Years later.
this little girl will re-read adam
Bede" and find an entirely new set
of values, new lights and shadows,
new inspiration. I could not grieve
because a little girl read anything
that George Elliot wrote. The child
that selected Elliot's work had a fine
taste for literature as literature, and
would be safe reading anything that
her father and mother had kept by
them.

line we shall have to wear slips or
petticoats that fit snugly just be-
low our ribs. Long dress skirts
might mean long underskirts.
But women seem TO be welded to
underclothes just as they are. One
of the most amazingly popular gar
ments of the generation is the under
slip. that it worn now by almost
every woman, for almost every oc-
casion.
In the meantime sufficient variety
can be effected by the variety in fab
ric and trimming. Quite recently
there has been a distinct renewal of
interest in linen a fabric for un-
derthings. In the trousseaux of
several June brides there were many
of these linen sets" They consist
of nightgown, step-ins and slips
sometimes of white linen trimmed
with cream thread lace, but oftener
of some delicate tint-green, rose, or
child, yellow or blue.
The fact that linen has dropped in
price and improved much in quail
ity since the war brings it within the
reach of many who regarded it as out
of their reach a few years ago.
