SPOONING A FINE ART.
Spooning, by which Is meant that
form of affection (Inscribed by tlio sago
Noah Webster an "acting with donr
onBtratlvo or foolish fondness," has
been placed upon n solid and respon
sible basis In tho Lynn high school.
Hooks on otlquetto for tho young usu
ally doprccato spooning, or omit to
mention It at all, but In this high
school boys and girls who deslro to
spoon havo merely to Got p, permit
from their parents. To bo moro cx
pllclt, the principal of tho school, ob
serving soma mushy scenes In tho cor
ridors of tho building, recently an
nounced that public lovcmaklng must
stop; but ho addod that pupils desir
ing to spoon must bring a written per
mission from tholr parents. Spooning
thus Is reduced to a practical work
ing basis, says tho DoBton Qlobo. If
you produco tho parental permit, pre
sumably you may spoon. So girls who
Ilko spooning, and evidently tlioro are
soino In Lynn who do, must produco
their permit or go unloved. "Mam
ma, you haven't inndo mo out a spoon
ing permit yet," may bo hoard In tho
homos of Mary, Mnrgarot and Estollo,
whllo In another part of tho city, Paul,
Henry and Oswald aro snylng, "Pa,
Just sign this spooning permit, befora
you go downtown." When tho per
mits are iBsucd and havo boon O. K.'d
by tho principal, thcro will bo an op

English Is not a singing languago was
born either of Ignoranco or of Impu

languago poutalns some of tho most
beautiful songs In tho world, and somo
of tho greatest of singers havo delight
ed to render them. Any opera singer
could suroly learn to sing English as
easily as Russian.

to tho present tho machine has not

INDOOR PLANTS NEED CARE!
Many Will Do Well In Gas-Lighted
Rooms If They Are Judiciously
Selected and Tended.
Ono of tho great secrets In tho suc
cessful cultivation of plnntB In rooms
Is judgment In selecting tho right
kinds, ns nn experiment will soon
show, will do well In gas-lighted or
drafty rooms, others will not; so it is
most essential that caro should bo ex
ercised in choosing klndB adapted to
both purposes.
TIiobo who havo the good fortune to
havo their rooms lighted by electricity
need not worry, because all kinds of
plants will succeed under tho latter
conditions.
Tho best of all plants to grow In
gns-lightcd rooms aro tho parlor
palms.
Thero ajo two dlBtlnct klndn of
these, ono which produces very tall
leaves and another of tho dwarf
growth.
If carefully watered and their
leavoB sponged nt least onco a weok,
thoy will tirlvo for yonro.
Another cxcellont plant to grow un
der Hlmllnf conditions la tho flg-lenf
palm, or so-called "castor-oil plant."
This has giant Ivy-llko green leaves,
which rndinto from a central stem and
form a handsome- plant. As It In
creases In ago it is, howevor, apt to
Iobo Its lower leaves, nnd henco somo
of its beauty,
Tho "India-rubber" plnnt, a brother
of tho fig tree, is another plant which
is admirably adapted for gas-lighted
rooms,
Tho plant usually grows with a sin
glo mnin stem, nnd if well cared for
will In n fow years attain a holght of
flvofoot or six feet. When It becomos
too tall tho uppor part can bo cllppod..

the other a black, tho latter tho upper

Tho only relief to this gown is nn

Decollete Shoe.
An Interesting rcak of fashion Is
tho decollete shoo. Many ParUlnn
elegantes aro wearing what would
seem a perfectly ridiculous shoo for

mlntfl what Is tho Urendtli nnd length nnd
Jtpth nnd height, nnd to know tho lovo
of Christ tliat pussetli knowledge. VpK
t 18, 19.
Wo can read
ily underst and
how a given point
in an equilateral
trlanglo Is equal
ly distant from
three given points,
or how in n to
trad h e d r o n, a
point can bo
equally distant
from four given
points. Dut thus
far In our con
sciousness of mat
ter wo havo not
been able to dom.
onstrato a fourth
dimension. As far
back as Plato's day the idea was sug
gested, nnd recently a twelve-year-old
boy attempted mathematically to
demonstrate It before tho professors
of Harvard university.
When, however, wo pass from tho
realm of tho physical to tho spiritual,
we find this idea clearly expressed In
our text. The humble bowing of tho
Apostle's knees at tho beginning of
this matchless prayer, and tho llmtless
heights of "glory" transcend our hu
man capacity of comprehension. In
tho center of this stands tho text, as
though Paul, pausing at some vantage
point, would look to the right and tho
left, backward and upward, xand ex
claim, "Oh, that you might compre
hend tho breadth, tho length, the
depth and height of the lovo of
Christ." Let us apply these four meas
urements to our lives.
I. Breadth. Wo pride ourselves upon
breaking from provincialism and nar
rowness, nnd that tho world Is laid
upon our breakfast table ach morn
ing; but unless our activities aro also,
qulckened of what benefit Is our'
world-wide vision? Our big cities are
provincial. Many a Now Yorker thinks
tho world begins at tho Battery and
ends at Yonkors. Thero are scores in
Chicago as absolutely lgnprant of tho
resources, need or people of China,
Japan or even Europe as they aro of
tho planet Mars, yet thoy say "take
caro of the home field before you" do
anything for foreign missions." Wo
need not only a world vision, but moro
breadth of vision of the problems of
labor, social and civic life.
II. Length. Persistence, stick-to it
ivoness. A gentleman was asked why
bo few tfreat clergymen In America,
and his reply was, "America is In too
groata hurry." Of courso perspective
leads to a wrong estimate of great
ness, but certainly wo need more min
isters who aro "forth-tellers" of God's
messago to lost men. Whon clergy
and laity learn to think through to a
conclusion theso questions of ethics,
reform, world needs nnd, most Impor
tant of nil, tho needB of the human
soul, and will apply thomBelves to
these problems with persistence and
abandon, wo shall havo clergy and
Inity whose leadership will never be
called In question.
III. Depth. Americans aro fond of a
I'good front," but hnvo wo correspond
ing depth? Study our chenp front ar
chitecture, music, buslnosB and waste.
Are wo right on fundamentals? Our
thinking must stand upon a bettor
foundation than" tho shifting sands of
philosophy. Our statements of lire
bo based upon moro enduring ground
than tho nobulous unstable assertions
of false science. Our commercial fnb
rlo must bo built upon a more stable
baBls than that of expediency. Our
mornl code must be less 'concerned
with pleasure seeking externals and
consist more of rectified, purified, re
deemed lives of honesty and Integrity
IV. Hut Paul had a fourth dimen
sion, "tho helghtB"bf glory" tho God
eldo of llfo. Wo all respond to the
suggestion of a world vision because
Of our business relations. Wo spell
success with n dollar mark. Material
uccess docs demand a world vision
nnd a concentration that Is sapping
tho vigor of our manhood, nut we
do urge upon all tojneasuro his llfo
by his fourth dimension, tho lovo of
God that passeth knowledge Who
can span tho extent of breadth? Who
can find the ultimate end of length or
plumb tho lowest bottom of nil doptb
or measure the uttermost limits of the
holghts of God's love for us In Christ
JesuB? A love that was willing to
empty himself nnd to become obedient
unto death, even tho death of the
cross.
"When I Burvey the wondrous Cross
On whleli the Prlnco of glory died;
My richest gain I count but loss.
And nour contempt on all my pride."
Let us lift our eyes from tho ma
terial to the spiritual. This vision Is
the transforming vision that led forth
the prophets of old and that -moved
Martin Luther nnd every other gTont
reformer. This vision waB tho power
giving vision of Dwlght L. Moody,
Frances Willnrd and all of tho rest.
This was . the poaco giving, healing
vision of Florenco Nightingale and
that has comforted the hearts of the
saints throughout tho ages amidst all
the vlclBsltudes of life.
Measure your lite by this and you
will ludced "be filled unto all tbo ful
nosB of God."

NO LONGER SELEOTS THE HAT
Hubby's First and Last, Experience at
a Millinery Store, Was Alto
gether Too Costly.
Congressman Ralph W. Moss of In
diana did not caro much for a hat his
wifo woro. He finally spoke about It.
Mrs. Moss admitted that It was plain,
and, Instead of taking exceptions to
her husband's remark, invited him to
accompany her tho next time she
bought a hat.
"I can certajnly pick out a bettor
ono than that," said Mr. Moss.
So they went to the store together,
Mrs. Moss said not a word as the
comely milliner displayed ono beau
tiful bonnet after another. It was tho
first time Mr. Moss had ever been in
a millinery Btore, but ho appeared to
be at case, and finally selected ono of
tho most Joyful creations in the en
tiro stock. ,Mrs. Moss looked well In
it. Sho was pleased.
"I'll tako that," said tho Hoosler
congressman. "How much is it?"
"Forty doHara," said the pretty girl
without even a blink.
Mr. Moss saw bluo stars, but luck
ily had just como from the bank
and was able to produce that much
In caBh. Now ho lets Mrs. Mobb buy
her own hats and ho does not com
plain about their being plain. Judge.
Balanced.
Representative Pujo-was talking in
Washington about the currency.
"It must balance," he said. "It
must balance automatically aud deli
cately. It miist resemble the Christmas
husband.
'"Oh, John, dear,' sold this chap's
wifo, 'I'm sorry you've got all those
heavy parcels to carry!'
"'Well,' you see,' John panted, re
assuringly, 'my pocket 13 very much
lighter now.' "
Wished to Break the Record.
"Thero'B something uncanny about

"Why?"
"When his client was defeated ho

Old Experience Stilt Holds tho Palm.
For real practical reliability and
something to Bwear by, experience
plain old experience is ablo to carry

Sho writes:
"I think I have used almost every
breakfast food manuracturod, but none
equal Grape-Nuts In my estimation.
"I was greatly bothered with weak
'stomach and Indigestion, with forma
tion of gas after eating, and tried
many remedies for it but did not find
relief.
"Then I decided I must diet and see
If I could overcomo the dlfllculty that

"Grape-Nuts food has been a great
benefit to me for I feel like a different

"If you havo any stomach trouble
