If we were to men In home or street

Oh, I think ho would pause and say:
"Go on with your chosen labor;
Speak only good of your neighbor;
Widen your farms and lay down your

Or dig up tho soil with each saber."
Now. what were the answer, of Jesus
IT we should ask for a creed
To curry us Mralght to tho wonderful

When Hlilt from body Is freed?
Oh. 1 think he would give us this creed -
"Praise God whatever betide you;
Cast Joy on the lives beside you;
Better the earth by growing in woith.

"The old-tlmn licnutles owe a great deal
of their reputed clnlm to candle light,

and unlovely ones.
"If women really cared as much about

In the meantime we were Hitting In itn

Its brilliantly lighted ballroom, and I had
nskul Mr. Elchmeyer and Mr. Judd. the
manager, to settle the vexing question
once for all, and decide at what Hge
women reached the perfection of physical
loveliness.
"Youth, of course. Is the most beauti

"Of course," 1 ngretd, "and a pretty

"I was going to say twenty, but I-1

"Then from eighteen to twrm. Wo

who are so already.
"Now please tell me what constitutes

whether a woman Ib beautiful or not?"
"To bo beautiful a woman must have
a striking head, a head that makes an

Me. Klchemeyer.
"The cyts make the face," said Mr
