A Sermon for Today
Excusing Little Follies.
BY REV. JOHN X. GUM.

Text: LAS If that were a very little
thing '.-Ez xvi:47
The text indicates a line OF reasoning
and action that many people pursue.
They are careful to refrain from what
they regard as the grosser follies OF
life. but what they regard as the lesser
follies they are not SO careful about.
Indulging in these folloies they re-
gard the lesser, they excuse them.
selves OH the ground that they are only
small matters and do not make much
difference.
But this is a fallacious kind of rea-
soning. Little indiscretions and faults
do make a difference. They make big
difference when we see them i'll others.
AS Chesterfield wrote: Examine your
self, why you like such and SUCH people
and dislike such and such others; and
YOU will find that those different Senti-
ments proceed from very slight causes
If We are not willing to grant lenlency
to others in these small matters. why
should we grant any to ourselves? What
we see as ugly in others is no less ugly
when seen by them in us. and is likely
to affect their sentiment toward us
Just as it affects ours toward them. We
do we'll to think about this before we
excuse in ourselves that which we con-

Let no one deceive himself. Our little
follies may make big fools of us. Even

pretty poor in color, and you may have
better taste in dress than in furnishing
your house. On the other hand you
may go fairly far in concealing your
limitations of intellect: you are bound
to show your taste. For 1t shows in
your dress, in your surroundings, in
your language, in your behavior.
When we get together and talk and
exchange ideas. as we say, we are really
getting together on the basis of taste.
II we like the same things we have q
forward those large human interests
that we all share and which determine
our standards of behavior generally

as on anything else.
The big place In life includes first
that with which we started. the entire

the refinements of life. that make it
worth living. The level on which you
live Is fundamentally determined by
your taste. Shop, ONCE. street. &c

millions and millions on taste: the bill

beauty OF the skin reflects the health
and soundness of the body as whole.
This is why diet and personal hygiene
must be included in the modern girls
beauty program. l have no doubt that
in future years manufacturers OF cos
meticS will include in their packages a
few hints as we'll as directions for ap-
plying their creams and lotions. Those
who sell obesity cures already do so;
they sell a reducing application or
cream and then suggest that diet and
exercise would also help The beauty
creams of the future will probably be
sold in conjunction with advice on diet.
Laxatives and health foods are now
being featured as aids to beauty.
Excessive oiliness Of the skin is often
due to wrong diet Excessive dryness
may be due in part to lack OF sufficient
fats in the diets. A deficiency in vita
min A, which is found in milk, eggs,
cream, butter, cheese, calves livers
spinach, carrots, etc, makes the skin
dry and harsh. These points must be
considered as we'll as the choice of cos
metic preparations.
OF course, the local care of the skin
should not be neglected. Harsh soaps
and inferior makeup may cause dry
ness and blotches of the skin. Lack of
thoroughness in cleansing results in
blackheads and pimples. Begin each
days beauty program with setting-up
exercises vigorous enough to cause
sweating and bring glow to the
cheeks. Take quick shower and rub
down. Cleanse the face with cold cream,
wipe it off and bathe the face in cold
water. Dry and apply powder base and
makeup At bedtime clean the face
with cold cream before washing 1t with
soap and water. Apply an astringent
lotion afterward If the skin is oily: use

Above the Average.

Some of us are too satisfied with
being average" to realize that the
average is as close 10 the lowest stand
ard as it is to the highest. Every year
we hear that the per capita wealth OF
this country is set at a certain figure
this year it was not much under $4,000
This is the average wealth of the aver
age person But who is satisfied with
being average?
In some figures before us we find the
average savings account balance OF the
average ,depositor in town. 1t seems
TO us inadequate for most women, and
we should certainly like to think that
few paltry accounts brought down the
average.
We are told the average life span of
woman is about 81 years OF age, but
few of us are resigned just now to dy-
ing OH our fifty-seVenth birthday ami
versary.
None of us like TO be average women
in looks or appearance. We dislike to
be told We are types, or have common
place faces. We would protest If told
our families are average families.
Average intelligence signifies to the
riajority an intelligence of a modest
sort. All of this, you may agree with
US, is true but what does 1t lead up to?
Just this. we should not be satisfied
with conducting our financial affairs in
an average way. If the worldly goods
of the average woman are insufficient
for our future. lets strike a mark well
above the average. II the average
woman falls for some fake stock pro-
motion scheme at some time in her
life, let's be above the average, and be
invulnerable to such schemes.
II the average woman owes more than
she can pay at once or in the near fu-
ture. let's avoid her example. Some
times we find the average woman mis-
using her credit. assuming too many
obligations, spending unwisely, or act

Office shall receive the above reward"
In answer to the above advertisement,
Thomas Wilson called upon the adver-
-tiser. Jacob Day, and informed him that
he had found the lost article. Day
asked for its return and promised to
pay the reward in months time. Will
son demurred TO the arrangement,
claiming that he was entitled TO the
reward at once, and he refused TO re-
turn the jewel until the reward was
paid
Day instituted replevin proceedings
for the ring, contending that the finder
was not entitled 10 hold the article, but
could sue for the reward in the event
it was not paid.
The court held that the finder was
not compelled to return the lost article
until the reward was paid, stating:
The implication of the advertisement
was that the finder would receive the
reward Immediately upon the return OF
the article. The loser could have pro-
posed any other terms he desired. He
might have promised to pay the reward
at given time after the ring should
have been restored. in which case the

vertiser. AS the advertisement read

You can't avoid matters of taste, you
don't want to; there are lots OF de-
cisions, points of behavior. in which
good taste is as important as good sense
and good humor. You must have taste:
the only question Is whether 1t is gooo
lor bad or somewhere in between. The
further trouble is that when we differ
nn these matters. as we often do, we
say: We'll, that's matter OF taste
and dismiss it. But that's no more In
point than to say that something else
is matter Of sense, Of good sense or
poor sense, and this applies no less to
good taste and poor taste.
