Hundreds of letters daily. Some

Feeble apologies, which they
really don't mean, for they
don't care if their faint writing
is hard to read. That's the
other fellows bad luck, and, to
them, only their own bad luck
matters.
Nevertheless, if they but
knew it, their writing tells the
reason for their bad luck. For
writing Is more than a bunch
Of letters. It's a clue to char
acter. You can nearly always
find the reason for a mans
story in the way he writes it.
Why aren't these unhappy
people getting the breaks? Why
can't they make the world
stop, look and listen? That's
why.

Nine. David-Neel

Of all the adventurous
ladies of the times, the one
who had the most thrilling
experience, I think, was
Madame Alexandra David
Neel, who spent fourteen
years as a professed Bud
dhist in mysterious Thibet.
She is the only white woman
who was ever made a lama,
or high priest, Of the Bud
dhist faith.
In that Land Of Snow,
far up in the Himalayas,
she came in rouch with the
unknowable, the incredible,
the old magic Of the East.
With her own eyes she saw
the priests and magicians
of Thibet make light of the
laws of nature. She saw
them sit naked in the
frozen snow, at heights of
ten thousand feet, fifteen
thousand feet, and melt the
snow around them with the
bodily heat they were able
to create at will.
She saw them crouch in
pits and spring straight up
ward eleven feet, with
bodies that defied the law
of gravity, made SO light
by the sheer power Of the
human will that they had
to be loaded down with
chains to keep them on the
ground.

the high Himalayas, with
no clothing whatever, and
yet remain as warm is if
clothed with furs.
Uncanny and mysterious as
it is, the Thibetans deny that
there is anything super
natural about their amazing
magic. They told Madame
David-Neel that all the So
called wonders depend on the
clever handling of little
known laws and forces of
nature. They said to her:
Gods, humans, the whole
universe, are but mirage
which exists in the mind.

Mount Jobe

When Carl Akeley died
suddenly in Africa, while
collecting the magnificent
specimens of African wild
life that now fill the new
African Hall, the expedi-
tion was left without a
leader. But Mrs. Akeley,
then in the Kivu Mountains
jungle, two miles high,
stepped resolutely into her
dead husbands place and
carried his work on to sue
cess.
A Bryn Mawr and Co.
lumbia girl, she had ad-
venture tingling in her
blood. An explorer in her
own right, she has made
ten expeditions into the
high Canadian Rockies. A
mountain there is named
after her, "Mount Jobe." "
She mapped the head waters
of the Frazier River.
She knows Africa as few
old hunters knows it's mys-
teries. She can wear, if
she pleases, the order of
the Grown Of Belgium.
She tells me that African
wild life is fast disappear
ing-elephants, lions, gi-
raffes, all the great crea-
lures. The only hope of
preserving it is to estab-
lish in Africa a chain of
great game-preserve parks.

Past Relives

What fascination there is
in the discovery of old
cities and the eloquent rel
les of old people who lived
so Ear back in time that the
last echoes Of their civiliza-
tlons ceased to reverberate
a thousand years ago.
In Upper Egypt patient
psychologists have come
upon the tomb of some for
gotten king. Upon the head
of the king rested a crown
of solid silver. In his right
hand was a sword Of iron
with a silver hilt. At his
side was a spear Of iron
with a silver haft. And all
about were warriors and
slaves slain on the spot to
keep their master company
as he passed into the other
world.
In Upper Egypt they have
found, also, the beautifully
sculptured head, in marble,
Of the most beautiful
woman who ever lived in
Egypt-not Cleopatra, but
the great Queen Nofretete,
whose beauty was so daz-
zling that men veiled their
eyes as from the blazing
rays Of the sun.

Wonder Workers

She tells the story in her
fascinating book, "The
Magic and Mystery of
Tibet" 1t is the story Of
the wonder-workers who
have mastered some ancient
secret of breathing, by
which they make their
bodies as light almost as
the air itself; by which
mountain runners can cover

horse three days to make;
by which they can 60 for

record by living up to some
mans ideals" :. Or to meet
the popular masculine notion
of feminine charm.
When men disapproved of
painted women," all nice girls
went about with sallow cheeks
and shiny noses their whole
lives long. And, often died
spinSters, just for the lack of a
dimes worth of carmine. And
if men vowed they liked them
feminine and sweet, they choked
back their opinions, smoked
their cigarettes on the sly, and
blew the smoke out OF the WIN
dow.
Every girls life was a con-
tinuous vaudeville show, in
which she put on a different
act, every few months, in the
attempt to be the Ideal wom-
an" for one man after an
other. She could have given
Elsie Janis lots of points for
her "impersonations." She could
play every role from Little Eva
to "Hot Mama" or "Highbrow
Isabel"
Then marriage WAS a
racket! And the average woman
was such a whited sepulchre,
that NO man knew what he was
getting until he got it home,
and the cellophane came off. A
girl was wrapped up in as many
articles and poses as she was

in petticoats; and her real
thoughts, heart and disposition
were as much of a mystery to
her lover as was her real figure.
But the modern girl has come
to the conclusion that if man
doesn't admire her or love her
just as God made her, then they
Just don't click" he's not
the man for HER. And, that,
if she has to wear a perpetual
smile and a vacuous look in or

able to hold him, once he dis
covers that she has several
working brain-cells and a
healthy Irish temper.
OF course, every girl wants to
be mans. woman. Why
shouldn't she? That's the only
thing there is to attract. Or to
MARRY! But even a moron
can master the few simple rules,
which apply to all mems likes
and dislikes.
Every man likes a sweet-na-
tured, good-tempered woman,
and every man admires a we'll

ing, dainty, graceful woman
Every man falls for a little
flattery and can swallow lot OF
it. $50 can a woman). And
every man runs like mad from
a woman who obviously pursues
him-and promptly loses his
taste and his enthusiasm for one
that topples into his arms be-
fore he is ready to catch her.
And tires of woman who
hangs around his neck.
Outside of those broad gen.
eralizations, there really is
nothing TO this "man-charm-
ing business" and the more
you struggle and strive to be
an "It-girl," the less you'll sue
ceed.
The masculine taste in women
varies as the leaves in Autumn;
and every type of man likes a
different sort Of woman. No
man knows what he wants,

Here are few items that may
be interesting to a part of Sussex
county folks, and they are told
briefly:
Ezekiel Lynch fell from the roof
of a porch on which he was work
ing last Friday. His collar bone and
two ribs were broken. OF course his
friends and neighbors have about
all called to express sympathy for
his misfortune.
This neighbOrhOod has good roads
and the people own good autos and
make good use of them to travel;
almost daily at this season auto par
ties make social calls. OF course it
would take much newspaper space
to mention just social calls by peO-
ple-but, the young and old just
keep the old world hustling.
There are visitors from as far as
California passing a few days with
friends here. Mr.. and Mrs. Earl
Southard and daughter, of Long
Beach, Calf, were here last Satur-
day.
The ladies have formed habit of
making up auto shopping trips to
Milford, Wilmington and Philadel-
phia; combining business with
pleasure.
The storms of this week have been
quite uncomfortable, but with closed
and heated cars such conditions are
not hardships-if the "twO-sOns"
are cOngenial.
