that the healthy man must pity and
assist the sick, so that If he himself
fell Ill, he, too. might receive assistance
from the healthy.
Then for a time God let mankind
alone; but when He looked down once
more to see how things were getting
on, He found that from the very
moment when men had been made SUBJ
ject to disease their life had been
growing steadily worse. The diseases
which God had thought would unite
them had only served to sunder them
more. Those who had been used to
compelling others to work for them
now compelled them also to wait upon
them when sick, although they them
selves took no thought whatever for
other sufferers.
At the same time, those who were
thus compelled not only to work for
others, but also to wait upon them
when sick, were so overburdened with
labor that they had no opportunity
to attend to their own sick folk, and
so had to leave them helpless. More
over, some diseases were recognized TO
be infectious so that, dreading the in
lection. many men would neither go
near the sufferers nor consort with
those who had come in contact with
them.
Then God said to Himself:
"Since by these means have failed
to bring men to understand wherein
lies their true happiness, will leave
them to arrive at that result through
their tribulations.'
Thenceforth, therefore, God left
mankind alone.
Abandoned to their own devices, men
lived for long time without under
standing the means by which it was
possible for them to live happily.
But at last some of them began to
realize that labor need not of neces-
sity mean for some a means of SUBJ
iecting their fellows and for others a
kind of penal servitude, but rather a
source of joy, uniting all men in one.
Likewise, they realized that, in the
face of that death which threatened
every man hourly, the only prudent
course for them was to make up their
minds to spend in concord and love
such years, months, days, hours or
minutes as might be ordained them.
Lastly, they realized not only that
disease should not be source of di-
vision among men. but that, on the
contrary, it should be a source of
loving good-fellowship.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
THE RIGHT WAY
BY LEO ToLsToY.

Count Leo Tolstoy. 1s2s-Islo. was Rus
"Anna Karenina." THE Kreutzer Sonata
etc.l
At first, according to the tradition.
God created men so that they had no
need to work, nor to provide themselves
with shelter, clothing or food. Every
man lived to be hundred exactly and
was immune from disease.
Time passed, and when God looked
down to see how mankind was faring,
their lot, men were thinking only OF
themselves, quarreling with each other,
and ordering their existence in such q
way that life was to them rather q
curse than blessing
Then God said to Himself:
This comes of their living apart
from one another, each man for him.
SELF
SO. to put an end to that. He made it
impossible for men to live without labor.
If they would avoid suffering from cold
and hunger. they must build themselves
dwellings, TIL the ground, and rear
docks and herds.
Labor win unite Them thought God
TO Himself. "No man can i1ew and
draw wood, build dwellings, forge i'm
PIGMENTS, sow, reap, spin, weave or
make clothing alone. Therefore men
will be forced to recognize that the
more they associate in labor, the more
they will produce and the more COM
Portable will their life be- This cannot
but unite them"
Time passed and once more God
looked down to see how mankind was
faring and whether it were now re-
joictng in its lot Yet he found men
living even worse than before. True,
otherwise), but not all together, for they
had divided themselves up into groups,
each OF which strove to depute its labor
to another, as well as hindered its fell
lows, and wasted both time and en-
ergy IN qaarreling. This was bad for
all OF them.
Seeing this. God decided to make men
ignorant of the precise moment of their
death, as well as liable to die at any
age, instead of at hundred exactly
This expedient He justified to Himself
thus:
when men know that they may die
at any moment they will be too careful
OF their lives Changing, as those lives
will be, by a single thread to rage
against one another, and so put in
jeopardy those hours of life which may
be allotted them"
Yet things turned out quite other
wise, and when God looked down once
more to see how mankind was faring, He
found that the life of men had in no
way altered for the better.
Some men were stronger than others,
and so were able to avail themselves
of the fact that death might come at
any moment to intimidate those weaker
than themselves, by killing certain
proportion of them and threatening the
rest. Thus an order of life had arisen
in which a certain number of strong
men and their followers did no work at
all, but consumed themselves in idle
ness, while the weaker were forced to
work beyond their strength, and de-
Perforated for want of rest.
Each of these two classes feared and
detested the other, and the life of
mankind became more unhappy than
ever.
Seeing how things stood, God de-
termined to make use of the last remedy
of all. This Is to say, He sent every
kind of disease among men: for He
thought that when they had become
subject to disease they would realize

the world and buy from one section and
another as vegetables and fruits ripen
in varying temperatures where grown
The season is thereby prolonged be-
ginning when the first products are
ready to eat and continuing as long as
available from the northernmost Sec
tions. But even so the native fruits
and vegetables as they appear are in
the greatest demand
Some seasons for home grown or
native products are very short. Some
are quite long. These products should
be enjoyed to their full by lavish use
during the time. have known green
peas to have such a poor season that
only for about two weeks were they
available. The weather was the cause.
But how delicious was the succuient
green vegetable while it lasted!
One of the pleasures in having a
kitchen garden even though it may be
small is watching the vegetables and
fruits develop in counting the time
when each variety will be mature
enough to have on the table. and in
making epicurean events of such times.
Certain vegetables and occasional
fruits. such as the everbearing straw
berry. can be had during entire seasons.
Most of these require consecutive plant
ings, the intervals between times vary
ing according to the product. Every
farmer knows this and 1t is only the
amateur gardener who has to learn it..
But there are many "city folk" who
know absolutely nothing of how vege-
tables. etc, are grown and merely take
1t as a matter of course that they
should be available all Summer long.
These persons miss all the Joy of vege-
tables fresh from the garden"
If they cannot have this pleasure the
next best thing is to note when native"
fruits and vegetables are quoted as in
the market and at such times to make
the most of them. 1t is at such seasons
only the farm products are most de-
licious whether picked from ones own
garden or bought from the green grocer.

Couture for Growing Hair.

ting my hair grow for a year and 1t is
only down to my shoulders. 1t Is long
enough to do up but have trouble in
arranging 1t. Please suggest couture,
CD How can make my hair grow
faster? MARY.
Answer.
(l) You may arrange your front hair
in the most becoming way, that is, with
a center or side part or brushed straight
back with waves around the forehead
and temples. Divide the back hair into
two equal sections and twist each. Cross
the right section over the left one,
twist 1t In small loop and pin 1t fiat
against your head on the left side of
the center back. Twist the left-hand
section of hair int "a similar loop and
pin 1t firmly on the right side. This
gives pretty butterfly-bow effect. (2)
Build up your general health by right
diet and hygienic living. Be sure that
you are not underweight. Give your
scalp good massage for 10 minutes
at bedtime and again in the morning.

Tleana's Husband
Not to Be Spaniard,
But Man Near Home
Authority Says Princess Is
More Interested in See
ing Brother Wed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, May %.
When 20-year-old Princess Ileana,
youngest daughter of Queen Marie.
seeks a husband it will be man whose
home is near her own Rumania, so
that occasional visits to mother and
former home and fireside may be pos
sible
And, for the present at least, she is
far more interested in securing wife
for her brother, Prince Nicholas, six
years her senior, than husband for
herself.
A highest palace authority said the
princess had no intention of marrying
the Prince of ASturiaS, eldest son Of
King AlphonSo of Spain, in whose
company she was seen frequently dur
ing a recent visit to that country. Her
desire, the authority said, is to marry
a man living close to Rumania.
The authority also denounced Euro
pean court gossip that a recent trip to
Sweden concerned a possible marriage
with a Swedish prince. 1t was said
instead she went to Stockholm to find
a bride for Prince Nicholas, who. like
King Boris Of Bulgaria and King Zogu
of Albania, is experiencing difficulty in
arranging suitable marriage.
