He would not have suffered so much,
perhaps. He would have looked more
like the Presidents who came after
him, strong. dignified, powerful. keen
ly intelligent and effective. But the
beauty of the spirit, purified as by fire.
would not have shone through those
benevolent eyes; the proud humility of
the man acquainted with grief would
not have etched itself in the lines of
his worn face.
1t Is. know, given to few to WELD
the power of the spirit Of a Lincoln.
But it Is granted to few to WELD the
power of spirit within themselves. For
the growth of a spirit is a lonely
growth. and who Is allowed to be lone
ly now? Who is brave enough to suf-
fer in silence? Who is brave enough
to allow youth to bear the pain of it's
own growth? Youth has to battle for
the right to suffer, and rarely has 1t
the insight to do so.
1t is not that 1 think youth needs
no help. 1t needs all 1t can get, for
each generation fights fiercer battle
object to laying hands on the strug-
Cling spirit of youth, robbing it of it's
struggle. robbing 1t of its spiritual
trial and then blaming it for failure.

match the other things in color.
Some women associate blue and white
with cleanliness, and for that reason
blue Is a favorite color on towels
Red suggests glowing health, and
yellow suggests sunlight, so they are
also favorites. Some economical
shoppers buy toweling by the yard
and make their own borders and
trimming.
For the bath Turkish towel is
almost universally used nowadays.
There is little which Is more lux
urious than a large Turkish towel.
with a close, firm weave. Such a
towel should be strongly made at the
ends 50 that it can be drawn ac.oa;,
the body with vigorous pulls. Most
towels wear out first at the ends.
Many people prefer several small
towels to one large one because this
makes laundry work easier. Others
prefer small towels because It Is pos
sible to have them fresh oftener The
size of a towel will depend upon your
personal taste in the matter, your
facilities for laundering and the needs
of your household. OF course, a large
Turkish towel is too large an affair
for child to manipulate, but adults
usually favor the large. roomy towel
when economy permits it.

Abraham Lincoln.

Once a year we take another look at
Lincoln just to help us keep a little
straighter for the remainder of the
time. Looking at his kindly, sorrow
full face, 1 thought: Lucky boy. Your
mother and father stood clear and let
you face life and take 1t for all it was
worth Nobody spared you. Nobody
saved you Nobody did you good. And
you fought a good fight and you kept
the faith
Lincoln had a hard time. We al
ways bark back to the boyhood spent
in the wilderness. His father did not
say, Here, here. now. That ak is far
too sharp for you. That tree Is too
thick and knotty. That load Is too
heavy for you. Let me do it."
Luckily for Abe they were far too
busy keeping alive to do anything OF
the kind. Abe had to lift his end of
the load and carry it or it would not
be carried. He must share his burden
OF the family and tighten 1t as far as
lay in his power. The family looked
to him to help, not to be helped.
I wonder what would have hap
pened to him If he had been sheltered
and helped and given advantages. "
OF course, he would have been big
man Just the same. But he would
have been a big man just the same.
But he would have been different. He
would not have had the hand-to-han nd
acquaintance with the stern facts Of
pioneer living, and the favor Of his
understanding and sympathy would
have been different.

opened the door leading 10 the inner
room. Rosalind. looking after her,
could see Allen seated at his desk, the
ubiquitous cigar in his fingers. He
looked up from his papers at the inter
ruption and smile spread over his
face. Instantly he rose to his feet and
came forward
Isabel" he said warmly, this is a
surprise" Then he stopped and kissed
her.
Rosalind's $ heart leaped suffocatinSly
and her hands clenched. She stood
perfectly STILL staring into the inner
! ONCE until Allen came forward, and
without even a glance in her direction
closed the door.
After time Rosalind dropped into
her seat and sat staring into space.
Her vivid ina gination was piCturinE
the scene behind that closed door.
Strange that she had never thought of
another woman in Allen Norris life.
She knew, of course, that he was not
married. and she had somehow never
| pictured him engaged. Her own stu
alton was made 4 thousand times
worse by the knowledge that he cared
for some one else; that perhaps at this
moment the woman he loved was in
his arms.
For the first time in her life Rosa.
lind felt hate She hated this woman
called Isabel. hated her because Allen
Norris loved her, hated her because
she was beautiful and because she
smiled with her lips and not with her
eyes.
After an unconscionably long time
or so 1t seemed TO Rosalind, the door
opened and the woman come out, fol-
lowed by Allen. He carried his coat

with her. perhaps to tea somewhere
They would sit at a tiny table while
soft music played, she would smile at
him. and perhaps beneath the table
his hand would reach and find hers.
Again Rosalind felt the thrill Of
Aliens warm fingers as they had
touched hers. and passion of revolt
swept over her Then she realized
that Allen was speaking to her; he
was giving her directions
Il won't be back this afternoon" he
was saying, and there was a smile on
his dark face.
Rosalind looked from him to the
woman and fancied that she detected
a look Of triumph in those cold blue
eyes. A moment later they had gone

laughing as they waited for the eIe-
vator Then the door changed and

What Kind of Bath Towel2

Mighty few women walk into a
store and say, Wrap up a bath
towel" We all like to choose a bath
towel that is Of a substantial weave,
but our inclinations vary over ques-
tions Of pattern and color and price.
Men are apt to prefer a slightly harsh
surface, women a soft, cottony sur
face. and then there Is more differ
ence about lengths. The point Is
that selecting a bath towel requires
considerat tion.
Some women are dead set about
one point, and that is that they pre-
fer q plain material. They say that
they'd rather have the value in the
towel than in the trimmings. Yet
about as many women find both value
and good appearance In towels that
are ribbed, patterned or bordered.
There is no doubt that a pattern or
fancy border adds to the cost, but 1t
Is also certain that it makes a towel
more attractive.
No matter what the surface of a
towel Is, 1t shouldn't be SO rough that
it Is downright harsh. Some towels
are so harsh that they will raise a
welt If you rub vigorously. On the
other hand, some towels are 50 soft
that they don't leave the skin with
even a healthy glow. Terry cloth
has a good texture for face and hand
towels because 1t stimulates the skin.
Some women are quite fastidious
about the minute details of towels.

Bewildered by the queer turn things

could not go on seeing him every day.

him more and more. and realizing all
The while his utter indifference to her
She decided to tell him that she was
going to leave, that she had been
offered another position, one that paid
more money. If she left, she would
at least be preserving her pride. He
would never know the truth, he would
never even suspect.
She would have gone to him imme-
diately, even with the knowledge that
she had no money ahead and no posi-
ton in view, If she had not been afraid
that he might question her. Suppose
he asked her where she was going.
Could she avoid answering him? Could
she make up some fictitious answer
and trust to luck that he would never
discover the truth?
She was seated at her desk one
afternoon, busy with her thoughts,
when the door opened and a woman
entered. She was a very beautiful
woman, tall and with very pale gold
hair. She was faultlessly dressed, but
when she smiled at Rosalind and
asked il Mr.. Norris were in her lips
parted prettily and her blue eyes re-
manned cold.
Rosalind stood up.
Just a. moment and III see if Mr..
Norris will see you. Will YOU give me
your name. please"
This time the woman laughed. and
somehow the sounG was lacking in
mirth.
