I thought the pain of yesteryear
Was dead and buried quite,
But it came and moaned without the door
Of my happy heart last night.
The greatest Joy that a life can know
Was brimming my heart with light.
When the banished pain of yesteryear
Came back In the dead of night.
"I had thought you dead, oh bitter thing,
I had thought you burled quite;
And It must be so and the moaning thing
Is your whining ghost tonight."
Then I shut the door of my brimming heart,
So full of Joy and light;
nut the thing without went moaning on
In the blackness of the night.
The joy that flooded my brimming heart
And filled it with glorious light
Was leaving It empty and cold and lone
In darknes3 grim as night.
In fear I opened then the door
Lo! all without was light.
And soft a voice, "She finds no ghost
Who dares to face the night."

Our iower of awakening love and ad
miral lort,,ln others depends mainly on our
capability for giving love and admiration.
A beautiful young woman who I merely

ful, like a picture
or a gem or an an
imal, may win love
and admiration for
i time without fcel
anythlng but eelf

will be a short one.
The human being
Is so constituted
that he will not
continue to worship
at an altar of ice.
Indifference and
coldness may at
tract a man who
lovee the conquest
of difficulties, but
fler the conquest
ift made he ceases to find coldness and
indifference attractive qualitiea
The people who receive the greatest
,ho1 most lasting love and admiration In
life are those who give moet spontane
ously of their own affections.
Buddha and Christ loved all humanity
with an overwhelming and self-forgetting
love and devotion.
However his immediate eircla mal
treated Christ, He has been receiving for
Hlmost ZfiQ years, the harvest of love
which He planted while on earth.
Buddha is worshiped by millions of
souls today, after almost T000 years.
Ills father, who was a great ruler In
India, and his friends ana, relatives felt
heartbroken when the young prince mas
so Impressed with the sufferings of hu
manity that he went away into the
deceit to meditate and find a way to help
the world. And when he came back and
to U1 them that he had learned the whole
secret of life, and that It was to love all
icated things and do no evil, and re
turn kindness for unkindness, and to
treat every living thing aa if It were our
kin, they marveled at his word Just as
K years later the world marveled at the
ame beautiful teaching of Christ.
Put now from millions of hearts rises
an Incense of love at the mention of His
name. Love bo-towed even upon the un
worthy, some time and some way, comes
back to the heart which sends It out with
I en-fold Interest, from worthy souls.
We of lesser development can make
ptople love and admire us when we reach
that state of selfless wisdom which does
not allow us to seek for love or admira
tion, and only permits us to receive It
when given as a tribute to the rualitles
which arouse It. and not as a tribute to
our Individual selves.
Our most vindictive enemy will. In his
secret soul, be forced into admiration of
our worth If he sees us going serenely
along lifers way. doing what good we
can and performing our duties with pa
tient unovtentatlon. As the natural result
of such a course of conduct he will see
is trowing mentally, spiritually, and he
will be forced Into admiration In spite or
himself.
If we are hated and despised for mcaa
and despicable qualities we can only re
ceive love and admiration by overcoming
the deaplcahla and unlovable habits w
possess.
A deliberate course of action, planned
out In sold blood, to win an enemy a
a friend. Just to prore that we can. or
for personal motives, would bring no
lasting result, and would 4 laying a
foundation for more enmity and less re
spect In the end, because It would not
have the foundation of self-respect.
The Ust way to win your enemy U
love and admiration is to forget all about
him, save to commend him to the greet
sojrew of love and wiaduiu. and to ask
that light may be given him to see. Then
go about your own business serenely; if It
comes in your way to do him a favor or
to save him from misfortune, bestow what
help you can; otherwise leave him to the
working out of his destiny while you work j
our your own. J
. Sometimes two very excellent Individ-1
uals, each doing his duty clearly as he
sees It. are uncongenial, and If closely
associated they become antagonistic. This
is because they are vibrating at differ
ent rates of speed.
Every vibration of light has its own
particular tone and color, and tf you
are In the sharps, and your color is a
bright red and your associate Is In the
flats, and of a deep yellow, there will be
a clash of sound and hues naturally.
The best way In such cases Is to let
sufficient space Intervene, so long as the
inharmeny la not aggressive,' until you
both come Into the universal vibration
and color of spiritual perfection.
We are all on the way. and he who
has most toleration for hts fellows and
he who best minds his own affairs will
suffer least because of his neighbor's
lack of love and admiration.
And So They
Were Married
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Getting married has. In the words of
Robert Louis Stevenson, "an air of
great simplicity and ease. It offers to
bury for ever many aching preoccupa
tions; it is to afford us unfailing and
familiar company through life; It opens
up a smiling prospect of the blest and
passive kind of kve rather than the
blessing and active"
And yet marriage does not offer solid
ground under the feet of any who chance
Into the august state. Rather It means
breakers ahead and shoal water and the
beginning of life rather than the solv
ing of its problems.
Falling In lova and going through the
courting state are romantic affairs that
engage the human Imagination most de
lightfully. And the next step is to keep
in love and to keep your partner In
love with you. A very different busi
ness that from the peaceful vision of
sitting with folded hands within a safe
harbor and lastly floating through a
sunny life on the good old sea-going
craft "Matrimony." .
Your love story does not end at the
altar. It begins there. Ahead of you
lies the struggle toward the Ideal of
happiness and it is a double ideal, yours
and your partner's. 8o first of all It Is
an ideal that demands compromise and
forebearance and toleration and under
standing. And none of those things have
occurred te most of the romantic young
things who are Just as much In love with
love as they are with each other.
All of us are erring mortals thought
less and unreliable at Umu; helpless
when we most desire to serve, and walled
off from complete understanding hy the
very film that makes each of us an In
dividual. We all are "filled with a strug
gling radiancy of better things" and we
all fall those better things again and
again, and fail to understand how others
can fall them, too.
But as you are imperfect, so is the
one you love and he, too, must allow
for your frailties and weaknesses. Add
to your -love toleration, add to that un
derstanding and sympathy, and to that
community of interests in essentials, and
the marriage of two normal, kind and
decent souls, ought to be a great suc
cess. Husband and wrfe must agree about
life. If the one thinks it a playground
and the other feels that it U s work
shop, how are they to be happy, even
if they try to adjust themselves and to
compromise? There will be difference
enough In all conscience because he Is
a man and she a woman and because
all of education and training has gone
to emphasise their differences.
So to counterbalance the great fun
damental differences there must be a
community of Interest, a sharing of
tastes, an understanding of why certain
things bring Joy to one and certain to
the other, j
With love and undents ndlng, with
sympathy and toleration, added to mu
tually shared tastes and mental con
geniality, marriage ought indeed to be
a case of "and so they lived happily
ever after" in life as well as in fairy
tales.

Fur is to be used In lavish quantities
on the new models. Its nam and Its
origin matter little so lang aa it is dec
orative and gives a suggestion of ele
gance and comfort.
With the fur is used chiffon, satin
and cloth, forming a conglomeration of
fabrics. Inconsistent, unserviceable, but
highly modish. This is particularly true
with regard to new gowns, whether for
afternoon or evening wear.
Velvet also comos in for attention, and
it Is wonderfully attractive In cross bar
designs on a satin ground and used with
plain velvet. It sometimes happens that
in a frock of velvet only the collar and
the cuffs have the fur trimming, but
again fur Is used about the hem and even
about the waist.
A good example of the adaptation of
fur la shown in a new frock of midnight
blue kitten's-ear cloth, associated with
Georgette crepe and taffeta of the same
color. The taffeta forms a sort of pet
ticoat, over which is hung the cloth,
serving as a deep border, and panels
to the upper section of crepe. The skirt
Is then weighted with a band of dark
brown fur.
Pockets are still with us. but they are
treated somewhat differently than their
predecessors. The model in question has
a pocket shaped to give a pannier sug.
gestlon. although there Is no draping, the
effect being In the shaping of the pocket.
About the neck of the bodice Is a band
of fur, and on the shoulders are epau
lettes of the cloth done in gold and em
broidery to match the semi-girdle. The
buttons that fasten the diagonal front
ara of gilt, and the sleeves are of the
diaphanous crepe. The model wears a
chapeau of hatters' plush, with an ostrich
plume on the top of the crown.
Another Illustration of fur trimming Is
exemplified In a deml-talleur of peau de

Hut the majority of people marry first

do so for some time yet. And the ques

these circumstances? While theie may

First and most Important among those
diseases likely to reappear In children
comes consumption and other forms of
tuberculosis. This disease Is not, strictly
speaking, hereditary. In the sense that
It Is directly transmitted from parent to
child; but It Is prsctlcally very likely to
reappear In the second generation, partly

the weak constitution which made their
parents subject to It. Partly because the
exceedingly close and Intimate relation
and personal contact between parents and
children make the transmission of the
Infection almost unavoidable.
In fact the only way that it can bo
avoided Is by plenty of house room, the
most scrupulous csre and the Itest and
richest of foods for the child from th
very day of birth on, avoiding the natural
! first supply. It la In the children of con-
sumpttve, especially if crowded together
and underfed, that we are most apt to
find not only pulmonary tuberculosis and
consumption of the bowels, but more than
half of tho pitiful dlsesses of the spine
and the Joints, which used to make our
cripples and our hunchbacka, were born
and brought up In this type of families.
Tet limit tne number of the children

vigorous and the curse may disappear In

alone causes not merely one-tenth of all
our deaths, but half of our cripples, a
quarter of our sickness and a third of
our poverty.
Quite a number of other diseases come
In thla same class of which tuberculosis

cautions are taken. The number la larger

Questlon-"What Is a logarithmT How
Is It that a logarithm simplifies mathe
matical computations? Will you kindly
give an example to make the explanation
more clear T'J. P. B. '
Answer A logarithm Is an exponent,
and an exponent Is a number showing
how many times another number ha
been used In any multiplication. Ten
times ten equals 100. It was used twice,
and Its exponent Is 1 Ten cubed equals
1,000, and Its exponent Is I; while 10 to
exponent 4 equals 10,000, and so on out
toward Infinity. But suppose that we
wish to use 10, say, 14 tlmea or 1H times
Instead of twice. Then the exponent
must be computed, and exponents thus
computed are always printed In tables.
Thus, as I am now writing, the paper,
as always, hy day and by night. Is very
near a precious book, a table of logar
ithms for all numbers from 1 to 108.0mt,
computed out to T decimal places. , To
give examples of their use, suppose that
you wish to multiply s by It Look In
the table and you will find the logarithm
of t to be .tOMOOO, and the logarithm of
11 to be 1.M1S9?7. Add these and the sum
will be 1.M44R3T, Look along the column
and It will tie seen that this Is the
logarithm of 88.
Kaay, But suppose yoft wish to multi
ply two strings of figure of from & to s
doseii. In the great standard mathema
tical science, such as astronomy, physics
and chemistry, the multiplication and
division of Immense numbers are re
quired. Thus, tet us square the number

a tedious Job. But thla toll can be saved
by the use of the logarithma Thus, the
logsrlthm of 81Xsle Is 7.4S012M, taken di
rectly from the table. Then, to square
