of memories along with her more
substantial gifts TO the home OF the

The entertaining story OF Mrs.
Jack Gardeners life, from the time
she captivated Boston society as a
Eirlisf belle is good reading on many
counts. Not the least of these is the
revelation of that inner something
that made her an indomitable per-
sonage, instead of merely a rich and
often eccentric woman.
The little verse that sings of the
two things that stand like stone"
amidst life's "froth and bubble"
might have been written for Isabella
Stewart Gardner. Kindness IN an.
others trouble. courage in your own,
was a part of her character. But we
can all name men and women OF
whom this may be said
Every incident in her life was an
adventure" says her biographer, and
again, There was not drop OF pes
simism in her nature.
Love of life, enthusiasm. intense
enjoyment OF new contracts, new
scenes, fresh combinations OF chal-
longing circumstances, gave this de-
scendent of the stuart kings both
charm and power.

of entertaining at a big dinner or
musical. the pursuit of an "old
master" for her private art galleries,

a new costume to be planned, into
it she went with Zest. The appetite
for life never deserted her. What
Mrs. Jack would do next" became
the interesting question in Boston
society.
"oh, we'll. if I had plenty of money
and could go and come at will" says
somebody. But wealth and personal
freedom are not the answer.
The woman, who at So could write,
"T still have energy" was still the
adventurous and romance loving
daughter of the Stuarts.
In one of her very last letters,
after long and weary invalidism, she
wrote as her final proclamation of
courage and self-mastery: BE as
happy as you can and appear more
So"
And that bit of advice, If widely
followed. would mean more to those
she left behind. than were the world
renowned art treasures bequeathed
by Mrs. Jack Gardner for the edu-
cation and enjoyment of the Boston
public.

Color Blindness.

Women generally claim to be bet
ter at matching and remembering col
ors than men. This may be partly
due to training. but it Is certainly q
fact that there are more color'blnd
men than women. Confusing red and
green is the conmonest and least seri'
Gus form of color blindness. Blue
yellow color blindness is very bad. but
rare. People who can't tell black from
white are in the last stages! The rea'
son that there are more coior-bllnd
men is that the tendency to color
blindness normally manifests itself
only in the male line OF heredity, but
may be transmitted through the
mother from her father to her son,
without the woman's actually being
coIor.blind, The only way a color
blind girl could be born would be as
a result of the marriage of q color
blind man with a woman whose
father was color.blind.
Now, what do you know about that?

Will you kindly explain why the
first day OF the year is not Christ
mas, as the calendar dates from the
birth of Christ?
Christianity originated in
the Roman Empire. For centuries
after the birth of Christ the days in
question were calculated from the
founding of the city of Rome "a. L. c.
BY this reckoning Christ was born
somewhere about 754 A. u. C.. Even
tually the church became strong
enough to make her influence felt
even on the calendar and a new dat
ing was adopted, the birth OF Christ
being used as the starting point.
But this new dating affected only
the year, not the names or the length
of the months, nor yet, except where
special adjustment was called for,
the day on which each month began.
January, therefore, continued to be
the first month, as in the old Roman
calendar Tho day for celebrating
the birth of Christ had. however,
been fixed by custom long before this
change in the calendar,
For astronomical reasons January
could not have been fixed as De-

of Christ was not made January l.

The Diamond Pendant.

Barrys next move where Leila was
concerned was a strange one. II hap
pened on the same night that she had
overheard the conversation between
Mona and Ronald. She was moving
about Mona's room Strengthening
things up and busy with her own
thoughts, when there came a tap on
| the door of the sitting room.
Her heart leaped with the knowledge
that it might be Barry, but with her
head held high she went TO the door
and opened 1t. He stood outside and
| she was about to close the door in his
| face when he spoke.
| II want to talk to you. ! must talk
| to you. Please don't refuse me-"
Leila shook her head I'm sorry,
but there is nothing that you could
| possibly have to say to me"
You're wrong there. I've told you
that I was sorry for the way have
| treated you. You can't refuse TO listen
| to me. Come down to the library for
| a moment, or let me come in here"
That's impossible" Leila said
| quickly.
But tell you ! must talk to you
! and with a quick movement that she
| had not been expecting. he pushed
| back the door and entered the room.
Leila stepped back from him, her
eyes very bright, her lips curved in a
| sneer.
II thought your apology meant
| nothing" she burst out. II might
| have known that you couldn't be hon.
| est and sincere about anything"
You're wrong" he interrupted
quickly. you haven't given me a
chance. You needn't be afraid of me.

what I have TO say you won't be

spoke a trifie thickly. as though he
had been drinking. Leila knew that
he drank far too much. She had
learned from Marie that he kept a

cision of Congress TO entrust entirely

OF the armies in the field Hereafter
the general may move his troops as
he pleases without awaiting the orders

Pittsburgh, Pa.
Is there anything in Christ's life
which teaches that I. who have pros
pered by hard work and self-denial,
should help my neighbor. who is in
need because Of his laziness, dissipa-
ton and indifference to duty?
Answer--Yes; 1t is notable that
Christ relieved afflicted people with
out inquiring into the causes of their
distress. His beneficence was not too
curious about the sources OF disease
and undoing. His admonition was;
go in peace and sin no more.
His example teaches that those who
are strong should bear the burdens
of the weak and not please them
selves. At the same time relief to be
really worth while must be guided by
discretion. Henry Ward Beecher,
who was open-handed and generous
to a fault, declared that the next
worst thing to not helping some men
was to help them.

an educated person is. l know moth
ing better than Huxley's celebrated
definition Of such a person, which is
given here in somewhat abbreviated
form:
THAT man, ] think, has had lib.

trained that his body Is the
ready servant of his will and does
with ease and pleasure all the work
that as a mechanism it is capable of
whose intellect is a clear, cold logic

strength and in smooth working
order whose mind is stored

the laws Of her operation.

sions are trained to come to heel by
vigorous will. the servant of q. ten
