Neal did not offer to pay

He did not get out of the

He sat comfortably in his

SIMPLICITY
VALUE
BY Lucy Lowell

HAVE you ever considered the
III value of simplicity? The
thing that Is true and fine, the
thing which rises to heights OF
greatness, always is essentially the
simple thing. That it may appear
otherwise means nothing, for SIM
plicity itself forever looks compli-
Gated to the average human mind
set to a merely superficial exam
ination Of motives and methods.
The greatest characters, men
and women, always have been
simple at heart and more often
than not history has marveled at
this that those who easily reach
lofty achievements could be so
unassuming, interested in small
things, with little or no vanity.
But If you will give the matter
thought, I believe you will agree
with me that these persons were
being honest and plain they
energy cluttering their lives and
their work with the gestures
which lesser ones use to erect .
false front Of Importance. Thus
they were able to go straight to
the mark, unimpeded by non-
essentials.
Only the other day 1 witnessed
a mediocre workman undertake .
piece Of work. He made a great
thing of 1t, talking endlessly about
the risks and possibilities of the
job, considering various modes Of
procedure, ranting about tech
nique. t
He 1abored endless hours over
the thing, only to fail rather spec.
tacularly in the end.
The Job then was passed along
to another, one who said little but
took hold with the sure touch of
the master. And as II by magic
the task was accomplished almost
at once. ..
"How did you do It so easlly?"
1 asked him.
"Mmerely by following out the
simplest method l could think Of"
he answered.
But only an expert could have
done that" / protested.
ITO be expert is to be simple"
he answered, smiling.
Which, Of course, is true.
1t is worth thinking about, this
matter Of simplicity.

l.Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman.

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. When congratulating a newly
married couple 1 understand that
it is proper to congratulate the
goom, but what should one say
to the bride, aside from wishing
her happiness? Isn't there some
thing that just fits into this
occasion?
2. When first seeing a girl 9

should one say? We girls in the
office have differed on this.
f.. c. II.
To "wish happiness" to the
bride is just the expression to
use. 1t is proper to "Congra IT,
late" the groom. and it isn't sup
posed to be correct to "COngratr-
late the bride. But to the bride
we say, Best wishes for your
happiness, or Every good wish
for your happiness" or some
thing of this kind.
2. what a beautiful ring, Ana

and then perhaps something even
more Notwithstanding about
the unusualness or the excep-
tional beauty Of the setting or
the design of the setting. or the
heauty and radiance of the stone.
Or, IL the stone isn't a diamond

an emerald or the girls birth,

say will please and delight the
happy girl. :

How old Is the man who wishes
to marry you, my friend? Much
depends on that angle of the
situation. II he is about your
age or older and you and he
are suitable and fond of each
ether. why should you not marry?
You would not be likely to
have children at your age, but
you might find much happiness
through a marriage Of friendship

Mrs. Dennis was firm in her
conviction that because her only
child was a boy was no reason
why he shouldn't be taught to
keep his person and his room in
good order.
The boy was given an attractive
room of his very own. He was
given the responsibility for it's
neatness and orderly appearance
