How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON
"HYPOCRTTE"

THE hypocrite today may be, In.
deed, he usually is. a good actor.
He may be an artist in discrimination;
but If so, 1t is shameful art and one
that is looked upon with nothing but
contempt. Originally, however, the
hypocrite found nothing derogatory
In the appelation. for 1t named an
honorable calling and described an
artist In the right sense of the word.
The word comes from the ancient
Greek, where hypocrisy meant acting
a part on the stage. The more artis-
tically role was performed, the more
perfectly player concealed his own
personality In that of the character
he was supposed to assume, the
greater artist he was acclaimed to be
and the more he was lauded by the
people of his beauty-loving race. The
"hypocrite" of old was the Hampden
and the Barrymore of today.
Little did the lovers Of the Greek
theater dream how their good word
would be perverted and corrupted In
the centuries to come

4 MAN was once asked for contrf.
L button toward the erection Of
monument, to which he replied, "Not
a dollar. am ready to contribute to-
ward building monuments to those
who made us hope, but will not give
a dollar to help perpetuate the menu
DRY and influence Of those who live to
make us despair" Tourists In the
Alps are able to see below them the
shadows of the night while above
them the sun is still shining. Pes
simism always looks downward into
the shadows. while hope looks upward
where the sun shines.
The ship at sea fights against the
storm. Something goes wrong with
her machinery. She is at the mercy
of the forces of nature which seem
destined to play havoc with her craft.
The S. o. S. signal is sent through the
air. In a few moments the answer
comes that another vessel Is coming
to the rescue. Immediately there Is
Lit in the hearts of all on board the
lamp of hope. The physician enters
the sick room at time of doubt and
encouragement. Nature begins to re-
act favorably to his medicine. Hope
helps nature complete her task of re-
covery.
We could not live very long In q
world where there was no hope. The
worst possible thing that could hap
pen to any person is to be plunged
into that hell on earth where all hope
is abandoned To extinguish the light
of hope Is to meet with despair, disas-
ter and ultimate failure in life.
Where there Is hope there is life, OPP
portunity. purpose and ambition.
Ideals are not abstract things. When
hoped for they are half realized.
A man who has no hope in his
heart is an unwefcomed member of
society. Wherever he goes he finds
himself not wanted. We naturally
shun the man whose presence breathes
an atmosphere of pessimism and de-
spair. There is nothing so contagious
as energy, hope and enthusiasm. If
hope is so important factor In ones
career then let 1t be cultivated and
cherished. The world is so full of
beautiful things that we should all
be as happy as kings. Light the lamp
of hope within the heart. 1t will al
ways lead upward and on.

fondle and they didn't care whether
they were beautiful rag dolls or I'M
usual rag dolls.
1--WE always known how popular Al
lie Baa was and still is. She is the
doll belonging to the little girl who
is now grown-up lady, and when
children go to call on the grown-up
lady, Allie Baa is at once loved by
them above everything else the lady
has.
"Oh, Allie Baa entertains SO many
children every year. They dress and
undress her, and even though Allies
clothes are old-fashioned no one minds,
for there is something about Allies
dear, lovable, hugable body and her
sweet rag face that no child can re-
sist.
Another interesting bit of news /
had to tell was that 1 heard that
chickens could trace their ancestry
back generation after generation.
Eyes, heard that they are among
the oldest of creatures known, for
there were chickens In the world, al
most three thousand years ago.
But 1 don't suppose any Of the
chickens ever stop to think of their
family tree and count back how great
great grandfather one would be of
several thousand years ago!
"And then I have heard recently of
a splendid dog who dove into the wa
ter when it was frozen over and res
cued a little girl who had walked over
ice which was not strong enough.
How many dog heroes there are in
the world!"
"Oh, yes,' said the Fairies, dogs
are so splendid. They are always do
ing wonderful things"
"That is So" the Fairy Queen con-
tinued, "for heard of such splendid
things about dogs, dogs who knew
every sound of distress a child could
make, dogs who cared nothing for their
own safety but only for those they
loved.
ooh, yes, I could talk on, it would
almost seem forever, about the dog
heroes.
But this little bit of news thought
was interesting, too. An elephant of
today-splendid big creature-marched
to table made Of bronze, some dis
lance away, and put upon it a wreath
of wild flowers in honor sof the first
elephant who had appeared in circus
in America upon that spot, many
years before. The big elephant walked
along with his circus keeper but they
did not hurry. They took their time
and all along the line Of march every
one came out to see the elephant.
"After all, that was only natural.
wouldn't miss seeing an elephant, if
could, any time.
"Even though I'm the Fairy Queen
with magic wand an elephant to me
is a rare treat to see-always and at
all times"
And all the Fairies in Fairyland
agreed with the Fairy Queen and they
thanked her for telling them the news.

qHE,W WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
STIRRING WITH A KNIFE
BY H. IRVING KING

20 TIR with knife; stir up strife"
y This rhyming piece of old-time
superstition is still firmly believed in
by a great many people. 1t Is espe-
cially prevalent in some rural districts
and is Of ancient descent. The SUI
perstition has its root in initiative
magic in which our barbarian an
eestors were particularly strong. See
ing effects only, and ignorant of causes
and yet convinced that causes must
exist, they adopted the homeopathic
doctrine of '.like produces like" imi-
tating what they desired to produce.
In those days mans knife was not
a table implement; it was his weapon
for strife with wild beast and with his
fellow man. In the old Teutonlc d1a-
lects the word "stir" has, besides its
present meaning, that of ito destroy"
scatter" disturb" In the depths of
that vast and gloomy forest which
once covered Europe from the shores
Of the Mediterranean to the shores of
the Baltic a savage ancestor of yours
stirred up something with his knife
In imitation of what he was about to
do with that same knife to his enc
mics, upon whom this stirring up
ought to have homeopathic effect.
So today it is a barking back to be-
lief in initiative magic which makes
us say, "Stir with knife; stir up
strife"
That's a few thousand years In the
life of a superstition.
