THE GUIDE POST
True Neighbor Love.
BY Henry and Tertius Van Dyke.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself-Matthew, 22.S9.
Precisely thus, and not otherwise,
we should love our neighbors-with
a steady. sane, liberating and helpful
love, which always seeks to bring
out their best
We and they are bound up together
in the bundle of life.
We cannot advance if they go back
ward.
We cannot be truly happy if they
abide in misery.
We cannot be really saved if we
make no effort to save them.
We must Withstand in them. just
as in ourselves, the things that are
evil and ought not to be loved.
Religion does not tell us to love or
to encourage our neighbor's faults,
but to love in spite of their faults
and to do what we can to better
them.
True neighbor love. then. will not
be a weak, gelatinous, sentimental
thing.
1t will have a conscience.
1t will be capable, on occasion, of
friendly warning and reproof.
1t will even accept, if need be for
the protection of ourselves and other
neighbors, the duty of restraint or
punishment.
1 may have a rowdy or thief for a
neighbor. but my love ought not to
embrace rowdiness or thievery in him
any more than in myself.
The same thing is true of malice or
envy or laziness or a. sianderous
tongue.

In general, mocha gloves are ex-

cannot stand moisture. becoming
hard and stifr when wet, they are
not suitable for sports wear. Then,
too, mocha gloves are made up in

frequently seen color is gray, but
the fine grades of mocha gloves are

The mocha you see in the stores
resembles suede somewhat, but the
resemblance is merely superficial, as
suede and mocha are quite different
in character. Mocha leather is
"friezed" instead of "sueded" The
outer surface OF the gloves is on the
grain and not on the flesh side of the
leather, as suedes are. and "friezing"
merely removes the grain, leaving
the strength of the outer skin, which
is lacking in suede.
Mocha gloves are considered
slightly more formal than Cape
gloves, but they are suitable to wear
with a business suit or tailored cos

attire. Mocha gloves should not be
purchased to wear on occasions
where their delicate colorings will

What IodayMeans to You
Cancer.
BY MARY BLAKE.

The planetary aspects of today are
more propitious for affairs of the
heart than of the head. 1t is Il day
meant for love, and is not especially
favorable for business or work. This
is a good opportunity for putting the
"unspoken question to the final test,
and, once the ice is broken, the vibra-
be entertained of the nature of the
response.
a child born today will have more
which, however, can all be overcome
than its share OF body ailments,
successfully by proper nutrition and
care. Its disposition will be sunny
and it's character lovable, but not by
any means weak. Given the right en-
vironment-one of love and high
sense of duty-the child born today
viii develop into glorious manhood
or womanhood-a shining example of
what is best in human nature. Spar
ing the rod in this case will not spoil
the child.
The true basis of cheerfulness is
love, hope and patience. Love evokes
love, and begets loving kindness.
Love cherlSheS hopeful ana generous
thoughts of others. 1t is charitable,
gentle and truthful. 1t sees the
glory in the grass, the sunshine on the
flowers" 1t costs nothing, yet is in
valuable. Even its sorrows are link
ed with pleasure, and its very tears
are sweet.
Kind words cost no more than un
kind ones. Kind words produce kind
actions not only on the part of him
to whom they are addressed. but on
the part of him by whom they are
employed.
Good and friendly conduct may
meet with an unworthy and migrate
ful return. but the absence of
gratitude on the part of the receiver
cannot destroy the Self-approbation
which recompenses the giver. Seeds
of courtesy and kindlineSs may be
scattered around you at very little
expense.
The kindness of true sympathy. of
thoughtful help, is never without
beneficial results.
Well known persons born on this
date are: Timothy Pickering, states
man: John j. Astor, founder of the
family In America: William Cranch,
jurist: Alexander b. Meek, jurist and
author; Robert NJ. Patterson, author
and Presbyterian clergyman; Horatio
y. Spencer, physician, famous as an

Breadtin,e Stories for
Little Folks

1t happened that the bread served
in their home was always cut very
thin, for great many grown people
prefer bread that way. But men who
have made study OF such things
tell us that we do not really get the
taste of bread when it is cut thin
They learned that in order to really
get the taste and the flavor OF any
food. we must put into our mouths
fairly large piece OF it. Not too
much, of course. for that would not
be good manners-but just enough to
chew on until your tongue can en- Joy
the full delicious flavor
Well. in the case OF the little girl
we were talking about, the mother
tried plan to see if this was SO. She
took loaf of bread and cut it into
slices just about twice as thick as it
was usually served. And she said
nothing about it. So when the little
girl came to the table, her mother
watched to see what she would do.
Soon she took a generous bite and
her face lit up with pleasure. My,
but that's good!' she exclaimed, with
delight What Kind of bread is this,
Mother dear?"
Then her mother told her. It's
the same bread we've always had, and
the flavor OF Corby's Mothers Bread
is always exactly the same. The rea-
son you like it better today is because
of the way cut it-because YOU
never have really tasted bread be-
fore" And the little girl always
liked bread after that, and had ever
so much fun telling her friends
about it.
So, perhaps it may be that you, too,
have never tasted bread. If so, just
ask your mother for a piece OF Cor
by's Mothers Bread-sliced just
right-so that you can get every bit
of its delicious flavor.

Ala ska in winter, descriptions of the

of winter sport books we could find.
We want to read these things, but if
we do it in winter it makes us feel
so much colder. Bob says he has
to go down and prod the furnace
every few minutes if we undertake e
cold reading on a winter night. But
in summer it works just the other
way.
Another rule we make is to cut
out heavy reading in summer. No
weighty histories, profound studies of
conditions in Europe, statistical
do serious thinking. We don't read
the popular novels exactly-that is,
the silly sentimental ones; but we
get all the clever, humorous books
we can find and the whimsical ones:
We read books of 'recollections.
These are generally filled with
amusing stories and anecdotes of
well known people, and are. writ
ten in a rambling, chatty vein.
They make excellent warm weather
reading.
I'VE take turns reading aloud. I
read while Bob has his smoke and
then he takes the book and reads
while I work on my set of luncheon

amusement l know of for city-bound
people during the hot weather, and

sniff of refreshing snow into the hot

AS you sit at the glove counter, ell

just what is the mocha" leather
from which they are made?
Now, mocha" gloves, though dis
tinctively American in origin and
manufacture, are made from the
leather produced in far-away coun-
tries. The skins are grown in Arabia.
and Somaliland, and are brought by
tribesmen to Alden, the worlds mocha
market. 1t is said that the leather
was formerly brought to Mocha, an
Arabian port on the Red Sea, and it
is probable that the leather took it's
name from the town.
The leather is graded for size and
weight, sun-dried and treated with
a preparation that protects 1t from
worms. and put up in bales. about
three hundred skins to the bale. The
trade classifies the skins as white

wort or straw bell. a modest little flower
that at this time of year we may find
scattered about in damp woodlands, "in
little gossiping groups as Mabel Os-
good Wright expresses it. 1t is quite
frequent in Rock Creek Park and in the
woodland areas outside the District
The beliwort grows to a height OF 6
to Is inches, and is found from Maine
to Florida, west to the Mississippi. The
plant is smooth throughout, with a fork
ing stem. There are one to three leaves
below the fork and numerous leaves
above. These leaves are of interest for

directly at the basal margin. as are the

Owing to their delicate nature and to
overzealous gathering at the hands of
thoughtless people, many OF our most
charming wild flowers are in imminent
danger of determination. Some should
be picked but sparingly, some not at all.
The bellwort is among those which
should not be picked at all, at least near
large towns and tourists points. 1t is
handsome little flower. admirably set
off in it's woodland habitat, so let us
leave them for others to enjoy and to
beautify their natural haunts and wild
