PICTUREi We really only believe what we
want to believe after all
We are too busy running hither and yon
thoughtlessly. seeking refuge in vain and use
less action, to stop and REASON!
Oliver Wendell Holmes said, For I say to
you in all sadness of conviction, that to think
great thoughts you must be heroes as well as
idealists. Only when you have worked alone
when you have felt around you black gulf
of solitude more isolating than that which sur
rounds the dying man, and in hope and despair
have trusted to your own unshaken will-then
only will you have achieved Thus only can you
gain the secret isolated joy of the thinker, who
knows that long after he is dead and forgotten,
men who never heard of him will be moving
the measure of his thought-the subtle rapture
of postponed power which the world knows
not because 1t has no external trappings, but
which to his prophetic vision is more real than
that which commands an army. And If this joy
should not be yours still it is only thus that you
can know that you have done what it lay in
you to do-can say that you have lived, and
be ready for the end
Learn to Live Alone and Like It. book
written with f1ippant attitude treats lightly
what should be considered seriously, as the
above quotes of Holmes show.
ALL MEN NEED TO FIND SOLITUDE AND
TO THINK
If you will stop and look back on your diff
fculties you will find that many arguments
and trials have come about by answers given
thoughtlessy in the panic of rushing madly
about You can seldom cultivate great deep
thoughts while shaking box of dice for cigars
or standing in the lounge of the country club
putting on lipstick. There is way out of diff
fcultes-you can fly from them as Mercury
did-but you fly mentally into seclusion to
THINK THINGS OUT.
Washington Irving said rightly, Great minds
have purposes, others have wishes. Little minds
are tanned and subdued by misfortune; but great
minds rise above them"

These youngsters like to be met on their own ground. They don't want people talk ing down to them.
 Recently two children have visited us on different days. Both were strangers. One was baby of twenty-two months, the other a little girl of two and half. They were extremely "good."
 In each case said, ''How do you do ?" po- slitely, and then proceeded to let them alone, except to hand out some boxes with inter- esting lids always keep.
 When they began to feel bit at home and started to explore the house, I asked their worried mothers to please let them alone" It wasn't fifteen minutes until they were friends with Mister, our dog, and tod dled over to me as naturally as though I had known them always. They reacted pre- cisely the same, these two babies, to the let alone method.
 They Respond To Sincerity
 They made the first overtures toward friendliness, began to ask me things and one even let me tuck her into the chair be- side me. All this time addressed scarcely a word to her. I had not prattled myself into suspicious position or made her think that "acted funny"
 frighten them Cor is disgust the word ? :, they learn to distrust strangers
 When we try to talk to older children as though they were morons, instead of mak- ing them feel our equals, we sever all sym pathetic contact at once.
 Sincerity should motivate us. And once we get that idea fixed in our minds, we will no longer be afraid of those very normal people we call children" these serious minded little folk who regard their world gravely and expect others to do the same.

.BEAUTY- Gloriyng
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

The time has come to do your daily exercises on the roof, in the back yard or some other out-of- doors spot. Exercise is twice as beneficial if you get plenty of fresh air while you are about it.
 From now until cold weather comes again, the ideal way to keep your figure trim and supple is to go in for an active sport or two. Learn to ride a horse, play a fair game of golf, tennis, badminton or even croquet.
 Swimming is wonderfully bene- ficial because it equalizes weight, making hips more slender, stomach fiat and, at the same time, builds up 8 hollow chest or a Scrawny neck. Regardless of your weight, brisk walks will improve your figure. And, for the young, rope skipping is excellent. ~
 Gardening Replaces Bends
 The exercise the gardener is bound to get during spring and summer can very well take the place of deep knee bends and arm routines, of which one grew pretty weary last winter. Watch your pos ture and even daily household tasks can improve your figure.
 When you lean over the baby's crib, bend from the waist instead of holding waistline rigid and strain ing neck and shoulders. Sit in a straight chair with your hips (not shoulders. against the back of it when fixing vegetables or sewing. A kitchen stool, without a back on it. makes for round shoulders and an aching neck.
 Learn to stand tall with stomach in and torso lifted upward out o1 hip sockets. Try back bends to give your body that long slim look ir front. Also to strengthen stomach muscles, lie fiat on the floor with arms at your sides, ankles together Without using hands, pull yourself up to sitting position. meanwhile keeping heels on the floor. Lower slowly. Repeat five times.
 Dicffiult at First
 Now keep shoulders fiat ant raise legs upward until they art perpendicular with the body. Lower slowly, feeling stomach muscles stretch and pull. Repeat five times This will be pretty difficult to dc for the first few days, but keep al it and you will see much improve ment in your figure.
 Stand erect with arms stretched high above your head. Bending from the waistline and holding knees stiff, make right hand touch left ankle. Reverse, using left hand to touch right ankle. Repeat ten times. This removes waistline roll and the bulge above your girdle at sides and back.
 NEXT. For lasting beauty.
