"Fixed" Extravagances.

(which are worst extravagances?" A
young couple that had been discussing
the question antagonistically asked us
to answer It authoritatively. It's
rather big order. but we'll do our best:
Without going into the ethical or moral
sides of the question. we may saIely
say the worst extravagances, from an
economical view. are the fixed ones.

months to run. Meanwhile, one can do
little about it.
II a wife were paying rent that
was far beyond her means, and one TO
which she we're bound for several
months or a few years, 1t would be a
fixed extravaganza. 1t is easy to get
out Of the taxi-riding habit, or to move
from the orchestra to the balcony seats.
or to resign from few clubs, but rent
is usually fixed charge
Some women try to live up to a stand
ard of living far beyond their true cir
cumstances AS time goes on they be-
lieve that they are obliged to carry on
the bluff Such an attitude often be-
comes obstinate and immovable. In
such an instance their extravaganza Is
also of f1xed-that is, fixed-by will
nature.
We know of some women who try
to outdO one another. Lately they con-
tracted for Summer vacation accommo-
dations which will squeeze their ex-
chequers to the last penny Because
such contracts are legally binding in
many States, we would call that form
Of extravaganza a fixed one.

A Sermon for Today
All Things Ours.
RY REV. JOHN Il. GUM,

Text: All things are yours" I Cor
in.2l.
Here is an awakening statement. "All
things are yours" All things ours. Is
that true? Yes, and in the broadest
sense possible.
All things IN the material world are
ours. All the vast wealth stored up in
the earth, sea and sky is intended for
our use. Every blade of brass that
springs up, every flower that blooms,
every plant and tree, exist and work for
us. The birds that sing in the tree
tops. the fish that swim in the sea, and
the cattle on a thousand hills" are all
our servants. Deposited in the hiden
chambers of the earth are immeaSurable
quantities of coal and iron. silver and
gold. and all manner of precious stones
ALI ours. For our sake the sun shines
the rain pours the snow falls, the mist
rises the wind blows The whole ma
terial universe. with all its myriad
agents, exists for our good.
All things in the intellectual world
our ours All the art, all the literature,
all the music, all the science. achieved
by mankind through the centuries, be-
long to us In fine passage Qulnet
SAYS: Il discovered that frau and cir
cumscribed as I may be- had any form
Of humanity been wanting. l should
have been other than am. Old
Ci1aldea. Phonicia. Babylon. Memphis
Judea. Egypt. Etruria, all have had 9
share in my education. and live in me. :"
The same law of possession applies in
the spiritual world. We are heirs Of the
accumulated spiritual experience of the
ages. and all the spiritual revelations
vouchsafed to the prophets and religious
leaders In times past.
How rich We are. Yet how some of
US pauperize ourselves through failure
TO possess what is ours. With many Of
us a great part of all this wealth is an
unpossesSed possession.

the case of the nervous golfer or
tennis player who gets too conscious OF
his stroke and the possibilities of failure,
instead of just swinging free, aiming
we'll and placing the shots. It's OF far
greater consequence to get nervous
about ones drives and approaches and
puts in speech than In golf.
When you speak you are driving a
four in hand at least. This Is, first the
idea, the thought, what you want 10
say; there is, second, the framing OF II
In words--that's the vocabulary, the
grammar, the syntax, the construction
that you learned In school, and that
makes you talk English but not French:
there is, third, the management OF the
speech apparatuS-the tongue, teeth,
lips, palate, voice, breathing; and there
is, fourth, the emotional and social, the
personal situation in which you find
Yourself while speaking or called upon
to speak. That last Is often the most
irving, and explains why every Stutterer
shutters more in speaking to some per-
sons than to others.
With so complex machinery to con-
troll there's q great chance for some
thing to yet out of order, so you've got
to know the individual mechanism-as
YOU know the tricks of your own auto
or your furnace-in order to know how
to run 1t. The easy speaker who has
no trouble In speaking distributes his
attention properly among those four
operations. The sound-making part of
it gets least attention because that has
become automatic; so has the simple
making of sentences, though complex
ones give trouble: and he isn't unduly
embarrassed while speaking, or so self
conscious while being listened to that 1t
affects his command of speech. and OF
words and ideas as well.
So the Stutterer has to be re-edu-
Gated. He can't expect a magic cure
for speech correction, but he can be de-
cidedlv helped to drive out that nerv-
BUSINESS from his speech mechanism and
get it to let him alone, so that he can

Suffering Again.

A couple of articles on suffering writ.

have been sufferer for wears ever since
TO heln me as got worse instead Of i'm:
deal with the public, aud it is very EN-.
harrassing at times. / tried to find lust

never consulted nerve specialist, Would
few more articles on stammcrng and ad-
wise me. ONE WHO STAMMERS.
Sufferers serve a useful purpose in
the community because they make clear
the nature of the problem of nervous
disorders. No one supposeS that any
body likes to stutter, or calmly assumes
that a Stutterer could stop that bad
habit II only he resolved hard enough
to do 1t. And that should make all Of
us considerate toward other nervous
handicapS that some people put down to
bad habits and weak will and to nothing
more.
The grain of truth in this view is
that, whatever the treatment 1t requires
a heroic effort on the part OF the SUI
ferer. He must try hard and keep on
trying long, with the strong resolution
that he's going to down that enemy and
come out ahead. So often the patient
is discouraged because he has oeen
through several campaigns without re-
suit. Let all young Sufferers ever Keep
in mind that there is hope; the returns
are not all in, and they may still be
elected.
To Sufferers who have not consulted
a specialist the advice is: DO so. But
to tell them where to 60 is difficult
and delicate business, because all the
methods in use are on trial, and 1t takes
an experienced man to tell what will
best fit each case. So much depends
upon the good judgment as well as the
knowledge of the doctor. And then
there are some who make promises far
beyond their power to make good; and,
sadly enough, there are quacks, who, far
from suffering. are glib Of speech and
believe that money talks and money
will make you talk.
A good speech specialist will soon
show you how far, If at all, your breath
ing has anything to do with 1t. Most
likely it hasn't. The nervousness that
has got a strangle hold on your speech
apparatus has also interfered with your
breathing, because you must breathe
right to speak right; you are far too
conscious OF both. You can't direct at
tcntion properly to wha: you want to
say. because so much of 1t goes to the
making OF the sounds of the words
needed to say 1t: so you avoid the
words most apt to trip you and look for
some that are easier TO say. To speak
naturally you must cut out that atten-
ton to the machinery and put 1t on the
product. which is the spoken thought.
All this is not so different from-eX-
cept that it Is much more complicated

White Moire for Evening Wraps

are prejudiced against any sort Of wrap,
even an evening wrap. that does not
leave the arms free for motoring.
Every fashion to succeed now must,

test. No one can expect overelaborate
hats or really Ions. full skirts or capes
for general wear to come back into
fashion SO long as women continue TO
take their place at the wheel.
