Love Letter at 90

is revealed that Mary Elizabeth Haldane, mother
of British statesmen-who died in her 101st year a
short while ago-received '1ove letter. from Sir
James M. Barrie when she was SO years old.
That far surpasses the famous Frenchwoman,
Ninon de l. Enclos. She kept her beauty and charm
to great and three generations of the family of De
Sevigne among her lovers But she died when she
was 80, ten years younger than Mary Elizabeth Hal
dane.
However, Mrs Haldanes love letter was quite diff
ferent from Nnons 1t would NOT have pleased the
Frenchwoman at all. Barrie wrote to her: "You have
personality if anyone had. see you wildly
knitting that shawl Ito which my compliments) and
looking the dearest person have for years and
You really do make the intruder into that serene
feel more hopeful about the world Some of the
loveles lines in English poetry very much like YOU
would not be bad to call you ode to immortality
OF course am using strong language but this is frank
ly a love letter know great deal more about your
son now. 1 know, for instance who is his spiritual
home"
Nobody so far as is known ever told the rather free
Ninon that she was anybody's spiritual home" She
wouldn't have liked it, but it very fine compliment
just the same.

Saving Only Not All
of Thrift

" HRIFT, correctly defined is care and prudence
in the management of ones resources
Unfortunately many people confound thrift
with stnginess of which it is the antithesis.
No man who is parsimonious exercises care and
prudence in the management of his He may
have hundred thousand dollars in the bank and be
utter failure in life The millionaire may be poor
laborer
Thrift has another connotation that may enable
to clearly the distinction between the virtue Of
thrift and the vice of miseriness.
Thrift means vigorous growth, Of plant"
Stinginess stunts growth. 1t dries up the milk Of
human kindness leaving only residue.
The who denies himself or his family nourish-
ing food decent clothes, sanitary living quarters, oppor
tunity for mental improvement and moderate amount
of recreation merely because he does not want to part
with money is not thrifty. He is waster, for the
money thus saved is wasted-in so far he and his
family are concerned.
Thrift should not mean sef-sacrifice so much as
should sefrestraint With the proper exercise of
and prudence in the management of ones

a competence.

divine interference, independent Of the
orderly development Of the creature
thus honored.
On the other view of the nature Of
the soul, viz, that which regards it
as synonymous with the mind, or in
telligence, it might, indeed, be averred
that the evolutionists should concern
themselves with the question asked
by the two thoughtful men of Ramsey.
For it is reasonable to assume, taking
the soul in this sense, that it must
have been present, in embryo SO to
speak, from the moment that cerebral
activity became an important force in
animal life. And, in this sense, the
soul itself would be included in the
process Of evolution.
And what is there essentially ire
ligious in the thought that the soul
as well as the body, and even more
than the body, may undergo a process
Of development and gradually rise to
a higher level: Throughout the whole
Of nature we see everything obeying
regular laws Of birth, growth, and
development-and Of improvement as
well. 1t seems perfectly logical to
suppose that immortality may be con-
ditional. Even within the physical
realm We find virtual Immortality
characterizing certain forms Of life.
Surely it would be consonant with
all that we see around US, with the
constitution Of the universe as far rs
we can understand it, il the soul,
given 10 man, vas at the beginning
but a germ, a seed, destined to sprout
and grow, and undergo development
like every other vital thing that was
ever created. Then the origin Of the
soul would be coincidcnt with the ORR
gin Of the human form as distinc-
tive development from the common
stock-root Of animal life, and the soul
would develop along with the material
form. Immortality Of man must be
Of the same order as the Immortality
Of the universe.

Most thin persons do not breathe
deeply. You cannot be plump and
well nourished unless an abundance Of
oxygen is taken into the lungs. Deep
breathing exercises and the formation
Of the habit of habitual deep breathing
are essential to proper nourishment.
Your doctor will advise you about
the ductless glands. He may see fit to
prescribe something to help them if
they require it.
or course, a proper quantity Of well
chosen food is necessary for your we'll

'Life's Hurdles
Need of Work.
BY L. E. Bisch

The mind Of man directs the body
in the work which it does in relation
to the outside world.
This controlling organ decides
whether the work done by the body,
or by itself, is the kind Of work
which is best for it to do.
Thus every human being is best
kept in tone and tune by activity Of
some kind, and his well-being is best
ministered to when his physical and
mental powers are exerted for the &C
complishment Of some definite result.
In short, men and women are hap
piest and healthiest when they work.
But physical and mental activity
spent in slipshod and haphazard fash
ion is energy wasted.
Energy should be directed to a
definite purpose.
Furthermore, we work best at tasks
that we like, that are congenial.
We also work well at things we
can do easily.
But this last is a dangerous prin-
ciple to follow. If we worked only
at things we do easily we would miss
the zest and strength, and pleasure
and satisfaction that goes with over
coming obstacles.
One of our greatest satisfactions
is to conquer.
IL is by no means the rule that
persons turn 20 practical account the
best that is in them.
Often they use their weakest facul-
ties for productive actiyities-for their
work-and dissipate their best in
unremunerative why's.
Thus they make their play work,
instead Of making their work play.
They labor increasingly over games
Of chance and competitive sports.
How quickly they would abandon,
or at least reduce, their over-indulg-
cnce in what should be reaction from
work, IL they could once learn the
Joy that lies hidden in work.
II you happen to be doubtful OF
your ability or grit begin with work
that is not too difficult.
Initial failure may discourage go
as TO handicap an entire future.
Some people must start that way
because they have not yet learned how
TO profit by the lessons Of failure
to spur them on 20 success.
Few men start with their final goal
in sight.
They get there step by step and
usually after many mistakes and set
backs.
But men and women must work.
They must be engaged at Something
definite md concrete.
No formula Of health can eliminate
work.

/ was in a barber chair the other
day, when the manicurist asked me
what to do to get fat. She said she
went away for a summer vacation for
no other reason than to take on flesh.
She gained IL pounds, caught cold
and, in a weeks time, slipped back to
her original weight.
This young woman told me how
much she eats to get fat. I'm spite
Of all the food 1 just stay thin" she
cried.
1t is natural TO suppose that If, to
relieve overweight you should eat less,
by increased eating you would surely
take on flesh. Unfortunately, this is
not the case.
There are other factors than food.
The amount Of exercise, the activity
Of the ductless glands and the guam
tity Of oxygen in the blood, are i'm
portant considerations.
Placid and quiet persons are far
more likely to take on flesh than are
active ones. Many thin people are
nervous, their feet md hands are nev-
er still, they fidget and fuss, they are
human examples Of almost perpetual
motion.
The fat producing foods are like
wise the energy producing foods. Fat
is put on the body by taking in more
starch, sugar and fat than is neces-
sary for the immediate needs Of the
system. The surplus, the excess above
the body requirements, is stored away
as fat.
Since fat and energy come from
identical sorts Of foods, you can see
that the more energy you waste, the
more the surplus will be reduced.
Indeed IL you run around and fuss
and fidget enough, you can easily wipe
out the surplus and may, indeed, ere
ate a deficit. In the latter event, you
will use up all the fat. starch and
sugar you eat, and, in addition, there
will be n call upon the scanty fat sup
ply which is tucked away somewhere
In your body.
That is what happened TO the mani
curist. The fever she had and her
restlessness burned up her little supply
Of surplus fat. SO she is thin ns ever,
and, il she doesn't control her waste
