Her Letter to Girls Addressed to a

To a Girl Who is Sorry for Herself:
Tour letter shows me, not how badly
fate treatH you, but how badly you
are treating yourself.
You are standing outside of yourself,
and making a
mental picture of
mlsery and neglect,
and sorrow, of
loneliness and heart
hunger and weep
ing over It.
That is the easiest
and the weakest
thing a mortal can
do.

choso to turn over the leaves of life's
book to that particular page.
In every life there la always some
thing which might be bettered.
One person likes his environment, but
hates his occupation; another likes his
work, but dislikes his environment; one
wents the city; another wants the
country, and so on ad infinitum.
You feel you are particularly unfor
tunate In not having a harmonious home;
In not having more companionship with
people who are congenial, and In hav
ing a great many material worries. .
You carry always a face of sorrow
and a look of sadness; and you tell me
life grows more and more a very seri
ous thing to you.
You are meantime forgetting that you
are blest with health; that you are In
possession of all your facilities; that
you are not cripples or bedridden; and
that you are pursuing an occupation
which you like.

home; you are not shut up in a tene
ment house; you are not confined In a
factory nil day; and you are not starved
for good food.
Why, my dear girl, with such a list
of things which could make life hard
Indeed for one left out of what, fato
gives you It seems to me your days should
bo ore paean of thanks to Qod and one
prayer for voice and worda to praise
Him for His manifold blessings.
In the same post with your letter
came one from a girl wo Is totally
deaf, and who has lost both lower limbs,
and she writes me that she has had a,
very pleasant time, enjoying the out
door life and the kind attention of good
friends, and that she has been study
ing and growing. " . '
Does that not make you ashamed of
yourself?
It ought to.
An Inharmonious home ' Is Indeed a
great trouble; but the only thing for,
one to do who- suffers from such a'
cause Is to be one . note of harmony In
the discords. '
Speak, the silent word ,of love to each
mojriber of the family;, say "Peace. Be
still" to the troubled domestic ocean, and
by every thought, word and act set the
example of harmony.
Miracles have been wrought by one
loving, patient soul In a home of many
wrangling minds.
Refuse to quarrel; refuse to be sullen;
refuse to bo sarcastic; and by tho ex
nmpU of love and kindness, and good
cheer, shame the other members of the
household Into better behavior.
Then, If they continue to le disagree
able, speak the word of freedom to your
own soul; and picture to yourself a life
apart from the family.
It will come to you If you live In a
way deserving of this freedom.
It will come either by n change In the
people who make the discord or In your
change to other surroundings.
It can never come while- you are pity
ing yourself.
Self-pity Is weakness and a waste of
mental force.
Tt Is a great weakness of character to
continually crave pity and sympathy; and
to want people to be sqrry for you.
Juqt as well mlgh every pup! who Is
given a lesson nk all tnt teachers and
all the other scholars to be "sorry." nnd
bestow sympathy.
We are placed In this world where our
actions and thoughts In other lives direct
our path; .and we are here to build
character -and learn the powpr which
lies In our minds to change present con
ditions and shape a better future. i
We can never do this by constantly
mourjOpg .ovjsc.pur situation. . For such
feelings waste our energies nnd prevent
constructive processes of thought
Begirt right now, today, my d.ear; girl,
to thank God for whatever has come to
you; thank Him for trouble and sorrow;
and ask Him to sbow you the way to
transmute these things Into a strong,
helpful character and to give you the
power to work up, and out of all con
ditions which are distasteful to you. This
is your work; and you alone can do It
Then look about you for things to re
joice over; and think and talk of these;
and allow no one to be sorry for you.
Stand beifore your mirror and laugh
every day for five minutes; and when
you feel the corners of your mouth turn
ing down bring them up and laugh
again.
And before very long you will discover
that you are no longer to be pitied, but
to bo congratulated.
For you will have made a now Heaven
nnd a new earth for yourself.
Love of lomc That is Worth While
I
I
By WINIFRED BLACK
They are taking the Chicago high bchool
girls to the stock yards nowadays to
learn how to cut meat to the best advantage.
"Chuck steak is
better than tender
loin If you know
how to cook It,"
they say at the
stock yards, "and
a pot roast will
beat an oven roast
all hollow if tho
cook Is all right."
Quite true, per
haps. I alwaya
seem to catch my
self preferring ten
derloin and the
oven roast myself,
all other things be
ing equal, though
there is no question that a "chuck" steak
well broiled Is better than a tenderloin
or even a porterhouse, that king of mcatH,
fried to leather; but I wonder If knowing
these things Is going to help the wayfar
ing man, though a wiseacre as to his
meals?
There's no getting round It at all the
Amerlran housekeeper Is lazy; not in
competent merely. Just plain lazy, and
getting lazier every day.
Did you ever notice the office boy?
Give an office boy more to do than he
ran do mid he'll he up and coming wide
awake and right there overy minute.
Put him Into another office where there
Isn't enough to do to keep him busy and
he'll groan if you ring for a papsr weight
and moan If you try to drag him from
his "thriller."
That's .what's the matter with the
American woman when It comes to house
keeping her Job Is too eaay and she
won't do It.
It doean't seem worth while somehow.
No fires to make, no ashes to dispose
of, no laundry In the house, electric irons
all over the place why not have It a "lit
tle easier and run to the delicatessen tiid
get dinner Instead of bothering with It it
all?
The old-fashioned housekeeper had io
get her fire started just so far ahead any
how or she wouldn't have any oven for
biscuits, so while she was waiting she did
other variously useful and Interesting
things.
Hasting the roost, for Instance, nnd
flavoring It. I've eaten pot roasts at
my German friends' that were worth
eating and rememberlrig, too, but they
weren't cooked at the last minute as an
afterthought when mother got home from
the matinee. The mushrooms that made
that gravy were In soak for two hours
before the roast went to the pot. ilnd
somebody did some work on the al
monds that gave the meat such u de
licious flavor.
The average cook will not do the things
that mean trouble and brains. It hurts
to make your brain work when you can
make somebody else do tho work with
his digestion. The house mother must
be there to see to the general plan or
somebody will see that something Is
slighted.
I am afraid the average American
woman Is perfectly willing to let her
husband drudge all day at the office for
her and won't hear of drudging one single
hour at home for him any day at all.
I wonder why?
What If the everyday-woman's husband
ran his work as the everyday-woman Is
apt to run her house, lilt or miss, maybe
and maybe not; no time to bother the
matinee, the moving picture, the new hat,
the beauty parlor, the back fence gossip
"Goodness! John will bo here and he ll
die If the table Isn't set. What on earth
shall I get to make him think It's a din
ner?" That sort or thing-how often
would there be money enough In his en
velope to pay the rent?
We aren't here merely for ornaments,
girls of the high school. Ufa Is some
thing bigger and better and more fun
than any mere garme. Let's learn how to
live it before we drag sqme foolish man
Into- harness, where h has to do all the
pulling.
Pot roast, chuck steak cheap cuts
Just as good' that sounds fine and It Is
true In a way, too, when the cook alts in
the other side of the scale and brings It
d6wn right.
Induttry. earnest Interest In household
affairs, as real live' of. home, a rpal core
for comfort-these are Important things
to teach, too, I do hope some of the girls
will get the fad 'of studying them.

JOSEPHINH MOWN.
"Hair Pulling Makes It Grow More Quickly."
ji
By MAROAHUT Ml'BBARD AVKR.
Miss Josephine IJrown stood before thu
mil ror nnd clutched her short curly
mune with both hands. Then she gavo a
yank as If she were determined to pull
all her pretty reddish hair out by tho
roots.
"Ion't look to worried." she wild In
me. "I'nl not mad at myselT. This Is
the latost Paris method of growing hair In
a hurry.
"Yes, I cut It off liiioaUBij I hud to bo
In Btyle. And to be In style In Purls to
day means that you must look as If you
had short hair. Most of the really smart
women nre really cutting theirs off alto

signing for the Russian bullet und for all
the Oriental playshas set the ruyo for
short-haired coiffures, and short hair In
absolutely the thing now In Paris T
by chic you must wear your hair very
flat on the head and bound around wit')
a silk sash of Oriental material, from
under which a few short curls are ullowed
to escape.
"There must be no wad of hair to spoil
the contour of the head. The head must
look very boyish, Indeed, and thoso
women who have cut all their long Imlr
offs attain the true HakHt effect, " thn
pretty young actress continurd.
"I want to huvo long hair for several
reasons. First, I am In America again,
and Americu has not accepted the short
haired woman. Over here you mill think
short hair masculine, while In Paris
short liulr 1m contldeird fascinating on a
womaii'H head, and the boyish look of
Uu he IJakst coiffures Is the very Inst and
smartest and most bewitching style. Ev
il; C3ARRKTT 1 HKRVIHH.
Wo know moro obout thn Houth polo of
the moon thnn wo do nbout the Bouth
polo of tho earth. One reason why wo
know morn about tt Is bucaUso wu aro
so far awny from
It. Ivct me explain
this paradox.
If wo stood on
the moon, In the
neighborhood of Us
H o u t h pole, we
Khould find o u r
selves surrounded
by steep and rugged
mountains fro m
1R.0T0 to ,000 feet
high, and vskI
crnter-llke holes
twenty miles
across, and tnreo
or four miles In depth, Of course. In
such a situation wo could see nothing'
but our Immediate surroundings, and If
we attempted to clamber over them to
get wider views, we should bo con
fronted by Insurmountable obstacles.
Hut worst of all. on the moon wo
should find no air to breathe, no wntcr
to drink, no cloudu to screen off tho
blinding sunshine by day, and no vap
orous blanket to afford protection at
night against the awful cold of empty
space, hundreds of degrees below zerol
Kvldently there could Im no polar or
other exploration amid such circum
stances. Rut, situated as we are on the
earth, 210,000 miles from the moon, wo
can avoid all Its Inconvonlcnnces, nnd yet
I get effectively near Its Bouth polo by
the aid of the telescope.
This shows us the whole polar region
In a single view, and nil lt5 features nro
before us at a glance. If Wo could get
a similar view of, the Antarctic continent
the entire scene of tho adventures of
Khnckleton, Amundsen nnd Scott would
lie plain before us.
Tho telescope Is a grnlo more powerful
than any In the Arabian Nights; It
seize the moon for us and practically
puts It In our Inpx.
With 11 magnifying power of 6tt diam
eter, tho moon Is brought within tSO
miles of the observer's oyo: If the power
Is 1,000 thn apparent dlstnnrn Is 240 miles,
nnd with n power of 2,0m) the distance
becomes only 120 miles. Now let us seo
what this means.
Suppose you take an ordinary terrestrial
globo. on yhlch the geographic feutureH
of thn earth nre plainly represented tho
seas und lands, tho mountulnu and plain,
tho locations of tho great cities, etc.
Let the -globe be one foot In diameter,
a usual size. Take It on your knees.
When It Is one foot from your eye
ou seo Its fenturcs on tho same scale
as you see those of tho moon with .1
telescope, magnifying only about 130 diam
eters, and a small telescope will eailly
magnify that much.
Then bring the globe within a distance
of about six Inchon and its features will
appear on the same scale as those of the
moon when magnified 240 diameters. In
order to make tho same comparison when
the magnifying power ot the telecope
Itecomes l.OfW or 2,000, you must bring tho
globe so ncur that distinct vision Is de
stroyed, and the only way to seo its
features clearly is to usq a magnifying
glBMI.
This shows us how It Is that, thanks
to the. telescope, wo roally know more
about the surfaco of tho moon, ns a
whole, than wo do about the surface tif
the earth. Of course, wo do not seo the
minute details, but. on the other hand,
we no tho broad relations of tho moon's
geographlo features better than we cn
represent thoso of the earth on an arti
ficial globe.
Kecently Mr. Bcrlvon llolton of the
Royal Astronomical Society of Great
Ilrttutn has made a sorles of lelescopl
titudle of the south polar region of tho
moon, and then constructed u plaster of
j parts model of them, which can bo photo
any found near thn south pole of tha
earth. Home of them aro nenrly flvo
miles high, nnd vory deep.
llecausn of tho nbsoncn of air ami
water thero Is little weathering nctton on
thn lunar rocks, nnd accordingly tho
huge, sharp peaks stand up In all their
preclpltoiisnoss for age after age, whereiu
thn mountains of thn earth nrn helm
continually worn down.
Perhaps tho fenturn of thn lunar land
senpn which would appear most wonder
ful to uh Is tho Immense number of
grent volcano-llko cruters that pit tho
surfaco, One of these In the nelghbot
Itood of tho south polo Id called Newton,
and It Is so deep and so stori-wal!o
thnt tho sunlight can never reach tht
bottom of It.
Thn stars nil shine, with duzzllng bril
liance In the very prcsencn of tho sun,
nnd when the latter rlsco, nt the end
of tha lunar night of two weeks duration,
II Is preceded by ih dawn, a curvo til
blinding light, shooting above the horizon
nnd quickly swelling Into 11 blazing g!ob
that smites thn ragged mountain peaks
with Its untempercd rays. Yet behind
every rocky wall black night prevails,
although thn sun bo risen, until thi polar
bcanm penetrate directly Into the hidden
recesses.
