st. Anthony the Great, born rich and
noble, stepped out Of the civilization Of
his age and country, abstained from
matrimony, dropped almost all human
ties, including those of family. restricted
himself to a daily diet of few ounces
Of bread soaked in water, and lived to
his one hundred and fifth year.
People no longer practice such alb
stinences as those which distinguished
this model for monks" who has gone
down in history as the founder of
monastic institutions.
Born at Coma, near Heraclea, on the
borders of Upper Egypt, in ISL, of pious
Christian parents, he was strictly re-
ligious from youth.
The parents died comparatively
young, leaving him all their property,
partly as trustee for his sister.
Six months later, when he was 10, he
heard read in church the admonition
of Christ: IF thou wilt be perfect, go
and sell that thou hast, and give to
the poor, and thou shalt have treasure
in Heaven"
The youth accepted these words lit
orally. He disposed of. all his property
except a maintenance for his sister and
gave the proceeds to the poor.
The sister ultimately became nun
and superior. Her brother went to a
secluded retreat near Heraclea, and
there adopted program of severe dis
cipline, prayer, study Of the Scriptures
and determination.
After a time he considered himself
too near his fellow men to accomplish
the withdrawal from the world which
he desired. He then retired into the
Catacombs, where he remained until he
was 35.
Next he sought the ruins Of q for
saken castle on a mountain, shutting
himself up In cell for months at q
time.
His fame spread. Multitudes came to
see him, and at intervals he stepped out
Of his retreat to instruct them. This
led to the collection of devotees In the
first monasteries. The very first was
founded at Phaium In his fifty-fifth
year.
Persecution of Christians led the soli-
tary man to brave martyrdom by going
to Alexandria to encourage the Suf-
ferers. He escaped death, however, and
when the storm subsidized went to an
asylum deep in the desert near the Red
Sea.
Crowds followed him. The desert
soon was filled with monasteries. The
community had $4,000 brethren at the
time of the saints death.
He died without ever having been
sick At los his eyesight was unim-
paired, he had all his teeth, and was
in full control of his mental faculties.
In st. Anthony's day society was cor
rupt beyond anything we can conceive.

Selection of Chairs.

Comfortable chairs are an Occidental
invention and the desire to sit COM
fortably seems to be more a thing of the
West than the East. PerSianS, Turks,
Moors, Egyptians-all the people of the
past or present whom we consider ORR
ental-we picture as reclining in lux
ury, but of sitting in discomfort. The
deeply upholstered, supremely comfort
able chair is distinctively an English
invention-and next to an Englishman
there Is no one in the world who so
appreciates a comfortable chair for
leasure moments as an American.
Comfortable living room chairs are
more than a luxury. They conserve
strength and relieve physical and nerv-
Gus fatigue. At the end of busy day
it is far better to sit reading or talk
ing in an easy chair for an hour or
two before retiring than to stretch full
length on a lounge and take a cat
nap that will make it difficult to drop
off to sleep promptly on going to bed.
BY means of a comfortable chair, in
which our bodies may be relaxed. we
can rest at times when even brief
nap would be out of the question.
Children of the family are sometimes
denied the privilege of sitting in the
easy chairs. OF course, they should not
be encouraged to occupy soft seats
while their elders sit on hard ones, but
they should be allowed, even encouraged,
to sit in relaxed attitudes in comfort
able chairs from time to time during
the course of their busy days.

bright scarlet without and bright yellow
within.
Each blossom looked as if it were
made of five little horns of-plenty faS-
tened together-little fairy horns-of-
plenty, upside down. Each little horn
was in reality a petal-a hollow petal,
quite unlike the fiat petals of most
flowers. From the midst of these five
petals five pistils and many stamens
were thrust out like little tassel. On
the tip Of each stamen was little pack
age of golden dust, which is called
pollen.
The flowers were lovely in themselves,
but they were the more lovely for the
slender, delicate stems on which they
were born and the beautiful, light
green leaves divided into smaller leaves,
or leaflets, as they are called, these in
turn divided into three or more parts.
Hummer darted from flower to flower,
thrusting his long bill into each, and
Peter knew that these blossoms were
as sweet as they were good to look at
Peter drew a long sigh of pure happi-

Near my house is an old cellar, re-

profound biologic problem is what
becomes of all the pollywogs. A con-

would be 5000 eggs each Spring. The
cubic contents of the cellar hole is per-
hapS -millioneth of the total cubic
water contents of the District of Co.
lumbia. Take a rainy Sunday after
noon and calculate the annual number
of frogs. A man in the Department OF
Agriculture once did this for the coun-
try as a whole. If, he argued, we set
men and boys to shooting bullfrogs and
selling the meat thus obtained, there
would be meat enough to feed at few
cents a pound the whole country.
Though in the lower forms of life
nature Squanders her fertility with in
calculable reckleSSness, she knows very
we'll that she cannot afford to let all
those young mature. There are heronS,
snakes and other enemies enough to
keep the frogs from inheriting the earth.
Think of it another way-there are
bullfrogs enough to keep the herons
and snakes in food.
Only man has learned to defend his
young against the terrible toll that
nature takes.

out of doors will keep them smooth and

Another frequent query is in regard
to tissue creams or muscle oils. The
purpose of these Is to feed the tissues

wrinkle and lose their life. After a
woman has reached her twenties 1t Is
good plan to use tissue creams, the
amount and kind depending on her age
and the condition of the skin. An
older woman, especially one who Is in
cIined to be thin, will have to use more
of these than a younger woman, who
may use just a tiny bit Of tissue food
to prevent wrinkles rather than because
she has any to erase. A little applied
to the eyelids and around the eyes at
night will help prevent these from
aging.
Another cream or lotion which is
quite necessary In every woman's make
up box is foundation cream, to be
applied before using powder. For a very
dry skin thin film Of cold cream Is
good foundation. A woman with an
oily skin, however, will find that liquid
powder foundation or skin stimulant Is
better for her type.
In general the absolutely necessary
creams are a cleansing cream, tissue
cream and a powder foundation cream.
For a few skins a good cold cream may
be used for all of these purposes, but
most women will find their compilations
benefited If they select cream Spe-
officially blended for each purpose.

Facial Creams.

What cream shall use? This is the
puzzled query which comes from readers
over and over again. And no wonder,
for with the tempting array at any cos
metic counter, each jar claiming that
in it lies the secret of loneliness, it is
not strange that milady becomes so be-
Wildered that she either buys greater
variety of toilet preparations than she
needs or leaves without selecting any.
In all fairness to these alluring lotions
which are put up so attractively and so
temptingly, let me say that practically
all of them are really very, very good.
Before trying to make selection, how
ever, milady must study her own skin,
and then she will not be quite so much
at sea when trying to choose the cos
meticS she needs.
Many have wanted to know the pur-
pose of cold cream and the difference
between cold cream and a cleansing
cream. A few years ago this would not
have been a puzzling question, for then
cold cream was about the only agent
used for cream cleansing. Cold cream
is heavier cream than the average
cleansing cream, but there are many
who use it as a cleansing agent also
Cleansing creams vary greatly in their
makeup. Many of them are very light.
and the heat of the skin meltS them
into a liquid as soon as they are ap-
piled. This is good feature, for the
oil penetrates the pores and removes
imbedded dirt. Cleansing creams vary
all the way from an oil to the heavier
creams. such as cold cream. Whether
one uses cold cream as a cleanser or
not, it is a good idea always to have a
jar of it on hand; for cold cream has a
soothing and healing quality which is
not necessarily present in cream whose
only purpose is for cleansing. For in

styles of head covering show some aff1n-
ity--the rounded crown, dropping to-
ward the back, downward curving line
over the forehead, and general lightness
that characterizes even straws and felts
this season.
The softness of the beret makes it an
admirable sort of hat for warmer
weather, for sports, motoring and travel,
and the ease with which it may be
packed in small space recommends it to
the woman who wants to travel with
light luggage.
Medium brimmed hats have enjoyed
unusually wide favor throughout the

we may expect increasing interest in
the dropping, wide brimmed hat, but
for occasions when this picturesque hat
is not appropriate or convenient be sure

Your Baby and Mine


One would think that manners"
would have no yesterday or today, but
this is true in only limited sense. In
manners as in everything else we mirror
the age in which we live, and we cannot
apply the manners of a past generation
to present-day children and expect
anything but result that Is affected"
and unnatural.
Mrs. T, E. H. says: my mother
thinks it terrible the way children
speak to their parents these days. The
teacher tells them that it is all right
to say Yes and No. but mother thinks
No, sir they are not showing respect
How shall children be taught to speak
to their parents? want my children
to be modern"
We can understand your mothers
feeling about this, for in her day the
failure to include mann" or Sir after
every speech indicated a rude and I'M
mannerly child. Manners, after all, are
purely superficial. They really indicate
very little, and respect for ones par
entS Is not measured by any such
means. The child who says "yes" may
say it in a manner that is as deferen-
tial and respectful as If he added "sir"
or "ma'am" to 1t. The tone Is quite as
important as the words.
We feel today that it Is correct TO
utter the persons name or title in
speaking to him or her. Thus, Eyes,
Mrs. Baker" mo, father" 81 will, Capt.
Virgins" and so on. The teacher might
have mentioned this We have leaflet

today.
Tomorrow may be different. Times

Try to help your mother understand
that children are no less respectful SIM

ing and that the respect still is present

can be taught. A child is quick to ,imi-

NANCY PACE
Labels, and Inventories Are
Friends in Need.
By FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Housecleaning days were upon the
Page household. Nancy's home was still
new enough not to need complete reno
vation. The walls and paper had a
brushing down, but not a thorough
cleaning. Her rugs went to the clean
ers. Slip covers which had been in use
during the Winter were sent to the
cleaners with the rugs. Draperies were
taken down and either cleaned at home
with the vacuum or sent to cleaners.
That left the woodwork, windows and
furniture. For the furniture Nancy had
the cleaning women use suds OF mild
soap. A chamois wrung out OF suds
went over the pieces first, and then
another chamois dipped into warm
water and wrung almost dry was used
to take off the SudS.
The clothes closets needed attention.
Nancy asked Peter to get some strong
cardboard boxes into which she could
pack many of the Winter clothes.
Then she provided herself with
sticker labels. AS soon as she had
packed a box she put the label on the
outside and listed the contents. In this
way it was easy to locate any wanted
article in hurry. There was no rum
maging among boxes, no digging down
to the bottom of the pile in the hope
of finding the missing and sorely
wanted jacket or coat or blankets or
what not
The contents of trunks were listed on
paper pasted inside the lid. These lists
were made out in duplicate and trans
ferred to her inventory book, in which
she kept list of all the household pos
sessions.
Silver, rugs, hangings, books, bric-a-
brac, every possession of the Page fam
lily was duly noted and kept in the
inventory book. Peters secretary made
a duplicate Of the book, which was then
kept in the safety deposit box. Had a
fire occurred in the house the adjust
ment with insurance companies was but
a matter of referring to the book.

One can't have too many prints in

The nodded bodice and hips rather

designer added the tiers to the skirt as
smart variation. They give youth
full animation and chic femininity that
is so essential for smartness.
The front of the bodice, draped in

mature figure or slim debutante.
