another, due to some popularity In his
own soil, despite the fact that 1t may
seem to be exactly like the soil next
door.
The beginning Of Autumn, so well
heralded by the difference in the grass,
easily noticeable by sharp eyes. gives
the Nature student . great deal of
pleasure.
These subtle changes are not 50 subtle
that he cannot see them. once he be-
comes 'hep," as the slang has it, to
what Is going on.
The calendar declares the beginning Of
Autumn, but Nature knows nothing Of
that printed sheet Of instructions. In
one very good sense she has no days.
or weeks. months or years. but simply
goes ahead with the scheme which she
was ordered to follow in the beginning.
She has o calendar. but there are no
days In 1t. no set divisions of seasons,
such as our calendars have.
Nature does no thinking, or planning,
whatever.
All the thinking and planning was
done for her long ago, and the Thinker
seemed to 60 away, leaving her to run
the show.
She does the best she can with 1t,
doing everything, but really knowing
nothing Of what she does. such is the
strange. almost incomprehensible system
under which all things have their being.
Only now and then. in bright flashes,
We see through the solid masses Of the
universe. through the darkness to the
light beyond. where the Thinker and
Master Of all hides from us.
1t Is this wild nature, cultivated how
ever much 1t may or may not be by
man, which is of prime interest to the
gardener.
He has some control over his plants,
his shrubs and trees.
The grass responds to his will, to q
certain extent, at least.
Here he has before him the riddle Of
the universe, the old dispute of man as
to will. the ever-old. ever-new questions
and answers Of the human race.
As he settles in his own mind, the
slightest question in the garden, 50 he
takes q step toward universal MASTER
ship.
1t is only by attempting solutions in
the everyday that ne has ever gotten
anywhere in the large, and the only way
he ever will get any place. evidently.
Theory is all right, but practice is
better because it leads to theory again,
and theory then attempts the solution
of the real heart and gist Of matter.
The melancholy time is here. the sad
dest of the year. So the poet put 1t, and
he was right, for. after all, there is some
thing eminently pathetic in the season,
and all that goes with it. for the quest
ing mind. Minds which do not seek
may find it otherwise. but this particular
type Of mind will ever respond to the
influence Of this season, without waiting
for falling leaves and bitter winds and
sunless day. Even in the light Of the
sun it sees gloom as natural and proper
In its season, and without which sun
shine would not appear as beautiful as
it is. nor the green Of Spring so green
the business Of Summer so lush. Out Of
business, sparsity and from greenery the
yellow and red of the season, and these,
too, in their time, are right, because
ordained He who ordains, We do not
know, but what He has ordained is ours
to have and to hold for a season, until
We shall come happily to that greater
knowledge Of which His creatures speak
without saying q word.

A Girl

A Girl
Her face has charm, with level dark
brown eyes
And tender mouth that oft her age
bellies
Not that she Is so very old; in truth.
Her bright enthusiasts speak her

But there is something In her lightest
moods
Revealing that within her sorrow broods.
That she has gained In her maturity
Proud patience rather than security,
And that q sense alone Of wit and fun
Has carried her thru conflicts hardly
won. I pa
Her face has charm. Who studies u

She is the kind who takes her hedges

Beauty
By DONNA GRACE

Falling hair is a rather serious
malady once we find the trouble
fails to respond to the usual treat
ments. There are cases where this
condition seems to start and be-
come very annoying before one
begins to think much about it.
This is because the hair may fall
out from time to time and for an
apparent reason, and then stop
and become healthy and normal
again.
The shedding of hair goes on
all the time. AS we know, the
life of each hair is supposed to be
about seven years, but there should
be a new hair to take the place of
everyone that drops out. The aver
age hair root should last as long
as life, but sometimes we find the
roots shed the hair and then cease
to function.
Hair specialists who devote all
their time to treating and study
ing the hair insist the way to pre-
vent dandruff and kindred hair
annoyances is to keep the scalp
thoroughly clean. There is really
no beauty in hair that is not kept
soft and clean at all times.
One specialist tells us the fore
runner of badness is the neglect
of dandruff. Besides frequent
shampoos, one must brush the
hair to bring fresh blood supply
to the scalp and the roots of the
hair.
This is very good advice and will
go a long way to assure a beauti-
full growth of hair.
In our study and experience in
treating the hair, we have worked
out a very satisfactory treatment
that has done a great deal to re-
lieve this tendency to falling hair
and badness, and it is quite a
harmless and inexpensive method
that may be easily done at home.
There is no charge for it. Just
ask for the treatment for falling
hair and enclose a stamped, self
addressed envelope for your reply.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"ThiS isn't about love; it's about
eats. This summer you sent my
mother some suggestions about
what to have at a party. And she
has told me to write to you about
cooking when we boys go out hunt
ing this fall.
1--WE have a shack upon the
mountain, and we go there week
ends. Our. mothers are afraid
we'll make ourselves sick with the
grub we eat. She has suggested
that we write to you about things
we can cook, that aren't poison,
ous.' But let me tell you that
after a day in the open, nothing
is poisonous to us.
BOYS"
I shall be very glad to tell you
about some wholesome and easily
prepared dishes, cooked over an
open fire. But if any Of you hap
pen to be Boy Scouts, you must
have had this during your Scout
training. There is also cookbook
giving the recipes for simple
dishes to be prepared in the open.
Canned stuff is so good these
days, that you youngsters should
be able to make out with a can
opener and a little warming up.
