A Picture of Happiness By Beatrice Fairfax A Lesson for Girls Who Fear to Delay Marrying Twilight Souls and Star Folks V By ADA PATTERSON. Out of the whirling dust and deafening noise of New York's most strident thor oughfare, Sixth avenue, one turns by the magic of a street corner into cool, green place of peaoe, the tmall park that Is an a back garden to the city's public library. It Is one of the Contrasts with Which every great city overflows, and Js no greater than jhe contrast be tween the men we meet In its streets ur the women we jnect In Its houses, the world, wide dif ference of charac ter, Said the late Water of finance, ?. Plerpont Morgan, n what was practically the last time the treat searching lens of the public eye was turned upon .htm, "Character Is tverythlng." The genius of finance was accustomed to a challenging of his opin ion. He expected It from some quarters. Perhaps from some quarters It was de served. But no one rose to dispute this assertion. Character Is more Important than brain, for brain Is useless without force of will and strength of purpose and clearness of vision, which are character, to bal ance and olrect It. The drifting derelicts on life's high seas are not drifting be cause they are brainless, but because they are characterless. They lack the strength to stop when they should pause In a course,' the energy to begin or to rontlnue in the way that Is best Fortunately character Is self-bullt We may have the wrong bent on the day pf our birth. Down the long channel of our forebears sweeps a stream disposed to toss the boat of ourselves at its will, yea, overturn It, but every one of us Is a atronged-armed rower. It Is given to us to pull Up stream. Or to change the figure character Is a structure we our neves build. The material with which we build ore our thoughts. When we , V, , FRECKLE FACE Sua and Wind Sting Out Ugly Spots, Hair to Bsmove Easily, Here's a chance, Miss freckle-face, to try a remedy for freckles with the guar i antee of a reliable dealer that it will not cost you a penny unless It removes the freckles; while if It does give you a clear complexion the expense Is trifling. Simply get an ounce of othlne double strength from the Beaton Drug Cd., also my of Sherman & McConnell Drug Co.'s rtores, and a few applications should show you how easy It is to rid yourself of the homely freckles and get a beautl ,ful complexion. Itarely is more than one ounce needed for the worst case. Be sure to ask the druggist for tbe , double strength othlne as this Is tbe pre scription sold under guarantee of money back If it falls to remove freckles. meet persons and are repelled or at tracted by them. It Js not because the eyes of one arc blue, the eyes of tho other brown, not because one is sltm and tho other fat. It Is because Of the thoughts they think. Their habitual thoughts create an atmosphere In which we either thrive or languish. Either that atmosphere tones and stimulates us as a bracing wind after a sultry djy, or it enervates as the poisonous air of an ill-ventilated room. We think we con ceal our thoughts, but never was a greater error. Thoughts reveal them selves In the lines of our faces, In the motions of our bodies, In the brilliance of our eyes, In the very lustre or lack t of lustre of our hair, and our clothes and our manner of wearing them about the secret of our Innermost thoughts. According to our thoughts do we suc ceed or fall, receive affection or miss It, are we strong or weak In our contest for any of life's prises. Thoughts make character nnd character Is what we are. By their characters we classify them women. Women by the ordinary man made category are of two classes, good or bad. Men by the common classifica tion are "no account" or worthy. But we all have a system of classification of our own. This Is mine. Those who Inhabit the earth, and we know naught of others, are of three kinds, star folk, sunshtno folk and twilight souls. Star folk are dreamers and Idealists, They are better- single than married for they expect a great deal of everyone and marriage Is an acid teat that brings the dross with the gold to the surface. Star folk don't like dross. They don't like to believe that, there Is any dross. Star folk trip and stumble, for their eyes are fixed upon the distant stars. They are a little trying to what we call our practical sense, but they are more Inspiring than those who travel ever with their eyes bent upon the ground and who see only what Is upon the ground. For these thero is no sky and there are no stars, oven as he mole complained, judging earth by his own murky hole In It "tho world is dark." The second class, the twilight souls, apart from tbe active Joys of life. They are of the meditative temperament pre ferring to study life rather than enjoy It. Thelr's Is the mental habit that would try to scrape the paint from the butter fly's wing to discover its constituents. Or they hide themselves behind so many barricades of reserve that no one ever suspects what longing for 1 natural ex pression possesses them. However great the warmth behind the barricades It rarely reveals Itself and only under stress. Business life and habits have chilled their surfaces. One whom I have named "Madam Sunt shine" Is an emblem of the third class, the sunshine folk. Neither very pro found nor -of great spiritual exaltation, they wring all the best from each day and forget the worst They walk with their chins merrily tilted upward and a smile In their eyes. They order their lives as well as they can. They touch the lives of others for their cheer and betterment They smile bravely when they cannot smile with mirth. They are good comrades for plod or gallop, the sunshine folk. Mr. By BEATRICE FAIRFAX The dally picture gallery offers much for the entertainment of Its patrons that is devoted to fashion, to show, to pomp and vanity and pride. It gives pictures that amuse, and some that are Inexpressibly dreary because they were Intended to excite mirth, and don't. It unfolds many canvases that leave an Impression of wretchedness, of ptnury, of degradation and of woe. But a'plcture telling nothing more than a story of happiness Is rarely seen, so rarely that those wbd have sought sap. pines and haven't found It claim It as proof that tho happiness exists. Or, If admitting It they say cynically: "Children are happy because they are too young to think. No one who thinks is happy." And that Is Just what the picture ac companying this article disproves: That only the young and thoughtless are happy. It proves that there is no happiness as perfect, as great or as satisfying as the haplnesa that comes with mature yearsthe happiness of those who think. Look at the picture. It was taken ot Mr. and Mrs. Flnley J. Shepard when they were unconscious that a picture was taken. There was no posing for the picture. No arranging of features anl expression to simulate satisfaction with life. The expression of Joy Is the natural expression. It Is the outward evidence of Inward contentment. It is a ploture that should be specially Interesting and enlightening to young girls those of the fearful age, and by that I mean tbe period of their lives when they regard marriage as all there Is worth while, and the woman a failure who falls to attain it So great a spectre do they make of splrsterhood that when they reach the mature ago of 20, and no lover has knocked at their door, they go out end search the highways and byway and beat the tom-tom and make many and and Mrs. Flnley J. Bliepnnl (Helen Gould.) fearful noises with the hope of driving him In. They become panic-stricken because thoy dp not think, and since only a man can save them from th fato they fear they seize the first man who comes along and accept as an escort through life a being whom they cannot respect and do not love. "But at least." such a woman will say, when paying the price of her unhapplness, "I am not an old maldl" The woman In this picture was not afraid of being an pld maid. She thought more of the happiness of others tlmn of her own. She concerned, herself with others and let her happiness be a con cern for tomorrow. She looked around her and thought she saw that thoso women who married simply that they might be married wore the unhapplest creature's the earth holds. She saw that there were many very, very happy spinsters more happy spins ters than there were happy wives. She saw that happiness is Independent of one's years. 8he did not count her birthdays with the panlo that so often results In women becoming mlsmated. She left the years come and go, taking no account of them as they might affeat her chance of becoming a wife. She made no mistake by marrying the wrong man through fear ot getting no man at all. Had Flnley J. Shepard failed to appear iliu would have re mained a happy, contented, useful and lovable old maid. As the wife of the man of her choice, she Is happy, contented, useful and lov able, hut not mprc happy, not more con tented, useful and not mora lovable than she was In her unmarried days. Sho was willing to wait. ne was con tented to wait, and had that waiting lasted as long as life Itseir, It could never have been said of Helen Gould that she was sour and dissatisfied and morbid and selfUh because she was an old maid. qiio used her brains to think and she found that happiness Is Independent of years or man. When her lover ap peared he found a happy, lovable, useful woman waiting for him. Had she been of the type that so many anxious girls Following the Game a Mile Several odd feats of somnambulism have been performed by Melville Haynes of Unlontown, Westchester county, Now York, but he never suffered much through them until he got a ducking in the Hud son river. Haynes went to bed at his usual hour Sunday night. He floated' off Into th land of dreams and into the Polo grounds. "Big Chief Meyers lifted tbe ball over the center-field fence, with the bus) full, three men on, and four rns needed to win. Haynes leaped up atul yowled In delight Then he awoke to find himself swim nunc In the Hudson river, It wasa J shocking ohange from tho warm bleach crs, but the wetness of the water was unmistakable, and Haynes did not stop to ask "Vhero am IT" and "How did I get here?" No; like a man of com. mon flense, he simply swam ashore. There he was at 2 a. m., standing on a pier at Hastings, clad only In drenched pajamas, and Unlontown one long mile away. A k(nd policeman lent him a suit of elothes. Haymts and his family are still trying to figure out how he walked the mile from tho house to the river, fast asleep, and In pajamas, without being seen. New York Wand. Natural History Lessons- No. 4 The Clam J) By DOROTHY DIX. HE Clam Is noted for Its perfect polso and self-control and Its freedom from (hys terical tendencies. It la also Justly cele brated for Its repres sion In alt matters affecting the emo tionsIts only living rival In this respect being Mr. William Dean Howells. The Clam la found In many places, but its favorite habitat appears to be tno banquet room, where It may be observed disporting itself on the half shell on tea, or sitting solemnly In a chair before the table, gorging Itself on tho many courses ot lukewarm and Inedible food universally served on such occasions. The first variety of theso clams are called Little Necks', and differ greatly in appearance from tho second variety, which have large, red necks, and are popularly known td hostesses by the title Of "Stiffs." These latter often attain great slse, some or them weighing as much as 2fi0 pounds. Of the habits of the Clam little I' known beyond the fact that It Is not of an excitable disposition nor of a loqua cious temperament It appears, however, to have certain moral weaknesses, as It ex hibits a tendency to get into the soup and Is frequently stewed, while its too Intimate association with cocktails at u m m e r resorts along the seashore Is something that every person o f taste must deplore. The name ot the discoverer of tho gieat original Clam Is lost In the mints ot antiquity, but many married women claim that honor. threaten to become the man on the way to her would have turned tilde. There is a lover on his way to every girl In the world. The Divine Providence that put hearts in women's breasts, hearts that yearn vfor a mate and a nest of one's pwn, never overlooked that most natural longing. Sometimes the right man Is delayed on the road. Sometimes, and oh, the tragedy of It, he finds when he arrives that Little Miss Maid became lmpatlnent and mar ried the wrong -man because the wrong man came first But somewhere, aomn time, he will appear. That Is as sure as that tho sun will rise tomorrow, Will not the dear little girls do as Helon Gould dld7 Walt for the right man and spend tho time of waiting in serving others? In that way, and in that way alone, will they grw more lovable with the years. Nor are their contentions without merit They clntm: (a) That tho men to whom they an married never pay them a compliment or show them any gallant attentions, or give thorn a kiss that Isn't a peck on the cheek, or exhibit any token ot affec tion whatever, or any signs of having a drop of red. blood lit their corpuscles; (b) That (their husbands sit Up bcsldt them nt the theater, or spend an evening at homo without uttering a single W6rd or giving them anything more than a grunt to show that they are still alive when they nro spoken to. (o) Thnt It is almost Impossible td gel their husbands to loosen up on tho money question, and that they have to use s slelght-of-hand performance to pry open their pocketbooks, The reports of these distinguished na turalists aro entitled to great considera tion; but, as cacti one claims that her particular Clam la bigger and clammtet than any other Clara on earth, it Is Im possible to decide be tween the merits ot the rival claimants, although Varloui Judges In Reno havo attempted to referee the matter. Whether tho Clam is an animal of al most human Intelli gence or not la an other subject, con cerning which stu dents of natural his tory havo found it Impossible to agree. Some cantend that the beast is mar velously clever, and In proof of their position In the matter they point to the fact that the Clam never makes an ass of Itself by foolish boasting, and that you never see a Clam defending a breach of promise suit and squirming all pver the court room as Its sirring love letters are read nloud before an unfeeling world. On the other hand, thoso who contend that tho Clam Is lacking In gray matter affirm that tho reason It does not say anything Is becauso It has noth ing to say, and that the only wisdom It ever displays Is In shutting up so that nobody will find out how Uttlo la in it AlthJugh the Clam Is short on conver sation and shy on thrills, It has Its own peculiar virtues. It agrees with al most every one and seldom makes trouble in our midst It stands by us, and not Infrequently supplies a chorus girl with a pearl necklace to protect her from tho cold winds of winter; and for theso and other reasons, although It Is ot lowly and humble origin, the Clam Is a wel come guest in our best society. 1 VIL lilll nmnmSSSSPIu ill The easy Resinol way OIMPLES and blackheads disappear, ivurismrsiuitaei I ii.. - i m ' hll bean . rl.Wnv'a I ..-..:uti.. i i uuDikjuny tumjjiuxiunB uecome clean, clear, and velvety, and hair health and beauty are promoted by the regular use of Resinol Soap and an oc casional application of Resinol Oint ment These soothing, healing prep arations do their work easily, quickly and at little cost, when even the most expensive cosmetics and complicated " beauty treatments " faiL has beea doctor's prescription and boiuBi4 remedy for aesema, ring worm, rashes sad other skin eruption, dandruff, burns, sons, ate.
