FROM THE SILENCE

TROM the silent activity of the hu-
a man brain come the worlds great
est achievements, in the arts, in music,
an letters and in craftsmanship. Nov
Ing night and day, unceasing in It's eff
forts to attain a higher plane, the mind
aof man Is ever reaching out to unex-
plored realms in its perpetual quest
for something new-something greater,
grander and more sublime than is
known today.
And in this quest the silent mind is
the most potential force in the uni
verse.
Every material thing in time must
eventually yield to this awe-inspiring
energy If you will closely observe the
anen who are stirring the world by
their accomplishments, who are rising
above impending obstacles to new
heights, who are sweeping away an
cient traditions, startling mankind
with the fiaring torch of newly discov
cred truths, all having a bearing on a
higher and better life, you will find
they are souls of silence, dwelling with
the stiffness of their own thoughts.
Only the silent minds can separate
the gold from the dross; only the silent

is wearing in this picture. This Is
only one of any number of equally as
fascinating color combinations inter-
preted In the newer knit tunics.
While many types Of the knitted
tunics are designed In conservative
street colorings, there is, without
doubt, a decided trend toward elabo-
rate conceptions wherein novelty plays
an important part. Bordering the knit
ted tunic with wool fur" both clipped
and loop variety, is one of the inter-
esting phases-an outcome of the wide
spread vogue for lavish fur trims this

| Something 10 Think About
By F. A. DALKER

like thunder-clap above the tinkling
din Of the commonplace.
Such minds have no quarrel with
nature, with whom they walk arm and
arm on intimate terms, gathering from
her her secrets and using them for the
uplifting of the worlds peoples.
Such minds seek solitude. for 1t is
In the quiet seclusion of their own
chosen environment that they go forth
in search of life and light and treas
ure, far too rich and elusive to be
found except by souls who hunt In
silence and are willing If necessary to
give lifetime to the quest.
In this respect the silent man goes
far beyond all the louder types. Being
humble, sincere, patient, earnest and
devoted to his cause, he never falters
In the work he has set himself to do.
He holds resolutely to his purpose
TRANQUILITY vending his way without
noise or buster.
He has certain rugged ardor OF
temperament which never admits de-
feat or loss of faith. He is the type
of man that changes the destnies of
nations overnight; not an actor, NOT an
imitator, but creator, prototype of
divinity itself, vested with power of
relevation, with which he was born.

Reflections Of a

AVA spent in thinking up devices for
curing a mans little vices.
What q man calls his "friendship"

A woman's accusations roll right off

sometimes so fraught with meaning

A mind-woman is the lily that

The average man always marries one
of these-and then spends his life
thinking wistfully of the other.
A woman seldom finds real love un.
Gil she has grown weary looking for it,
and has begun to look for the amuse-

A wife can never appreciate the
cheerful generosity with which her

of trusting with his fishing-tackle.
