To a woman, romance is a fasci-
mating dream which she pursueth
to the end of her days: but to a
man, it is a childish fairy tale,
yea, even a Santa Claus story. in
which he soon ceaseth to believe.
To a woman. her first kiss Is a
sacrament or a sacrilege: but to
a man. his first kiss is surprise,
an experiment or an ordeal.
To a woman, home is her strong
hold, wherewith she "holdeth" her
husband; but to a man, it Is an
anchor. which he is forever drag
ging."
To a woman, the admiration
and approval Of men Is food and
wine; but to a man, the admira-

relish" and their approval a
foregone conclusion.
To a. woman, all her love-affairs
are sacred remembrances tenderly
cherished; but to man all love"
affairs are amusing or bitter recol-
lectiOns, even as his last year
follies.
To q woman, a proposal is
triumph and an engagement ring
a. trophy; but, to a man. pro-
posal is a private confession or
weakness and an engagement
ring a public confession of sur

A REAL SKIN
GAME

In order to get just the right
colors for the new "sunburn
shades" one silk company not
only had color specialists study
subjects at the fashionable
beaches, but actually conducted
tests of human skin in the labora'
tory. The result was the creation
of 16 tones for dress fabrics which
provide a harmonizing dress color
for practically any shade of tan.
The different shades have been
named after the places where the
original tans were acquired-Gulf
Stream, Delray. Asheville, Bellair.
Florida. Daytona, Panama, Ber-
muda, Ormond, Palm Beach. Ever.

LISTEN, WORLD!
Il WIN Lift Up Mine Eyes
By Elsie Robinson

A N old man who had been both
"A. wicked and wise, once wrote
a beautiful poem. 1t is called the
psalm. and the first verse runs
like this:
IT WILL LIFT UP NINE
EYES UNTO THE HILLS FROM
WHENCE CONFETTI MY HELP"
King David, who knew so well
the need OF help in his own black
hours of remorse and discourage
ment, wrote that long ago and 1t
still stands as guide for all those
who are sad in heart.
1t is a great thing to lift up
your eyes to the hills when you
need help. You cannot always
lift them up to actual hills but
you can lift them to the heights
of beauty and truth-to the mem
Dry of noble deeds and the shin.
ing peaks of love. These are the
hills OF the spirit and there is
healing. ip. them for dusty souls.
But-and this is the catch in
that seemingly simple verse-we
do not always want to be healed
when our souls are dusty. We do
not always want to lift our eyes
unto the hills. There's a cussed
streak in human nature which
fights against eye-lifting in times,
of sadness and suffering. We
much prefer to stumble along in
the darkness, counting our mis-
cries and thinking how abused we
are. And hating the other fellow
because he's having better luck.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Brice Belden-

DAs LIN @AM@ht
YOU must recognize that certain
! facts are of fundamental inn
portance to your very being.
You must recognize that you ex-
list just as other people exist, by
virtue of certain laws of nature.
You see, one of your most inn
portant functions-but your nor
NAL standard of vision varies from
the normal standard of vision Of
many other people.
You hear, another of your most
important functions-but your
hearing is so acute that you can
hear sounds-for example, musi-
cal tones-that many others cam
not hear at all.
Your other senses-smell, taste
and touch-may. and probably do,
vary in similar degree one way or
the other from the average stand
ard.
Yet 1t is through the avenue of
these somewhat variable senses
that you acquire all the knowl-
edge you possess.
This knowledge, the aggregate
registered impressions of your ex-
perience, is the material or the
basic element on the substance
whatever you may call it-of that
supreme func@on of your body,
of everybody's body, that is called
the mind.
BY perception, you acquire
knowledge from experience. By
memory, you file it away and
later recall it for use. BY mag
ination, you conceive objects and
actions outside of your expert
ence. BY reasoning, you compare
and combine knowledge with
knowledge to form still other
knowledge.
But all this would be absolutely
of no importance to you il you
could not choose between the
various results of your perceiV-
ing, remembering, imagining and
reasoning.
From this you must recognize
the fact that under the natural
law, or The Law, you possess this
power to choose and act and,
therefore, to direct your own life,
secure your own happiness and
determine your own destiny. is
the greatest single fact about you
yourself.

TO a woman, a wedding ring is
a symbol Of his ownership, and
marketh its wearer as his private
property.
Yea, verify. verify, when dam
sci fasteneth on her wedding-veil
and trippeth to the altar, it MAY
be for love- But when a man
climbeth into his wedding coat and
draggeth himself to the altar it is
for love, and LOVE alone!
For, unto man, wedding is
a sacrificial ordeal, and the su-
preme test of his devotion.
But unto woman, life without
a wedding would be as Christmas
without Christmas tree!
