Master of sweet and and loving lore,
Give us the open mind, (
To know religions means no more,
No less, than being kind.
Give ns the comprehensive Bight
That sees another's need,
And let our aim to set things right
Prove God inspired our creed.
Givo ns the soul to know our iin
That dwell in flock and herd,
The voice to fight man's shameful sin
Against the beast and bird.
Give us a heart with love so fraught
For all created things,
That even our unspoken thought
Bears healing on its wings.
(Jive us religion that will cope
"With life's colossal woes,
And turn a radiant face of hope
On troops of pigmy foes.
Give us the mastery of our fate
In thoughts so warm and white,
They stamp upon the brows of hate
Love's glorious zeal of light.
Give us the strong, courageous faith
That make of pain a friend,
And calls the secret word of death
"Beginning," and not "end."
j Why Love Making is Now a Lost Art
Bj DOROTHY D1X.
ThOM who attempt to find a reason
for what the late Sllaa Wegg would call
"the decline and fall off In matrimony,"
overlook on Important reason why wed
dings occur less
frequently than
they used to do.
It la because the
art of making love
lias become one of
the lout arts. The
modern man no
more know how
to conduct a court
nhlp poetically and
romantically than
he knows how to
wear., lace ruffles
and a a word grace,
lully. When he at
tempts either he
Kets all balled up.
Hoth his mind and
his tongue have
loft their cunning.
and his proposal Is
a likely to go wide of the mark aa his
rapier point.
of course, men still make love. Just aa
they make cutlery by machinery, and
turn out colored glaaa la patented
moulds, but. aa in the race or time tna
art of tempering steel to the f lneneaa of
the Damascus blade and of staining glass,
certain exquisite shades has been lost, so
lias the fine art of making love.
The beautiful Cowers of speech with
which a lover onca wooed a rnsid have
withered and died and been thrown away.
The voice of the aerenade has been stilled.
No man now writes sonnets to hla lady's
eyebrows, or risk getting the grippe
standing out In the night winds waiting
for her shadow to crosa the window.
Courtship haa become aa prosaic a
matter as ordering one'a dinner, or mak
ing a deal In real estate, and the modern
man now goea about It in a businesslike
manner. He makes a note In his memor
andum book to call Maud up on the
telephone. Just as he makes a note to
call Smith and Brown about a bill of
hardware, and ha eends his office boy
cut to buy her candy. Just aa he orders
hi broker to buy a thousand sharea of
P. Q. D. for him. If s all In the day's
work; and If his love turns out unhappily
ha conducts himself pretty much as If his
buslneas venture resulted unfortunately.
In either case ha shrugs hla shoulders
and takes a couple of drinks to the men
tal toast of better luck next time.
He does not go off and commit auteida
because of a broken heart. Nor does be
how himself before tha cruel fair one
so thin and wasted, so haggard and dis
traught with lova that it melU tha heart
in her bosom, aad ahe rewards such
faithful lova as It deserves. Nay Yerlly,
He goes about his affairs as usual. His
tailor sees no need of altering his meas
urements for a new spring suit, and when
he meets up with tha lady of the ready
mitten, they dlscusa tha kind of weather
we are having and tha base ball pros
pects for tha season.
Things were not always thus. There
waa a time when the man in love laid
aside all businesa and devoted himself to
the exclusive pursuit of the lady on whom
he had set his affections, He was al
waya sighing at her feet. He wooed her
in Impassioned language. He risked his
life to save her. lie made her feel that
aha was all of earth and heaven and
tha great hereafter to him, and that if
ahe said hlra nay. hla blasted Ufa would
be upon her soul.
Bless you. In those days a girl didn't
have to play second fiddle la a man's
profession, and know that she was only
remembered In tha Interval when ha
wasn't doing anything that he considered
really Important. Ilka administering pills
to a patient, or getting a client off for
petty .larceny, or selling a bill of goods.
There were no cold storage lova letters
then, nor did the man put off a rendez
vous io close a trade.
'Those were the days that gave ua tha
great impassioned lova s lor lea at which
wo (till warm our hearts. Romeo, whls-

heroine, or address her la such burning
language?
None. Modern novels reflect modern
life, and it is significant that In not a
single six best sellers Is there a proposal
that even a kitchen maid can view with
out contempt At tha critical moment
when It la up to the hero to make love,
he balks, and has to be beaten over the
hurdle. He does not take the leap with
tha swinging stride and free gait and
perfect poise ot tha thoroughbred of the
past.
These criticisms on modern courtship
are offered more In sorrow than in anger.
It la even realised that it is not man's
fault that he haa lost tha art of love
making, and that somehow, whenever he
approaches near to It, he menaces to run
his great clumsy feet apfang through all
the pink chiffons ot romance.
Doubtless every man regreta this him
self. Doubtless every man aeea himself
Romeo, and haa visions of himself
making love to some woman in beautiful,
poetic language, that she will be proud to
remember ns long as aha lives, aad It
must give him a uhock himself to realize
that he is popping the question to her as
badly and In as commonplace a way as
if he were asking her to have another
fish ball.
Being practical, so long as tha present
method of making lova works men are
sufficiently satisfied with It; but to
women it Is one of tha secret sorrow, or
life. Of course. If a woman lovea a man,
she accepts when she asks her to marry
him, no matter how ha does It; but It is
one thing to have your heart's deal re
presented to you on a silver salver
wreathed. In roses, and another to ba
lugged with It
From her earliest years every woman
looks forward to tha tima when soma
man will really love her and court her
and propose to her. By tha tfme aha la
six years old aha has begun picking out
the kind of romantic wooing that aha da
sores and expects to have; and from
year to year she adds to tha specifica

and adding an ornamental cornice and
running up a few turrets, as her study of

Discipline
i. I
Br BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
A great many philosophers allow for
tho fact that
It is easy enoush to be pleasant
v nen nie iiowii nn
But the man worth while Is tba man
wno can smiiei
When everything goes dead wrong.
But they seem to omit one Important
fact Just as well worth considering as
how to take discipline Is why discipline
Is offered you.
Life seema to offer hardships, mffetinr -
and difficulty to the people who can bear
It and out of bearing and enduring grows
new power to bear and endure atlll more.
Anl when man la so Inured to trouble
that he can face It without flinching or
whimpering, trouble ceasea to wear tha
face of. sorrow and becomes a pleasant
companion merely known as discipline.
Almost all our greatest woes coma out
of our Inability ta discipline our own na
tures. Beginning with the girl who,
rathsr than endure the painful process
ot having a diseased nerve removed from
tooth, sacrifices the tooth Itself, and.
going up throiish the scale of things to
the woman who divorces the man she
man she loves rather than stay with him
and help him fight to conquer Ida weak
nesses, ws have a world of women who
suffer through lack of elf-dlsctpUae.
Eventually the girl who aocrlfloea her
teeth rather than suffer tha pain of hav
ing them treated haa all sorts of untimely
dental difficulties. Aud the woman who
Is too impatient to help her beloved con
quer his weaknesses, and ao hastily puts
him out of her life, brings on herself un
happlness which a nature disciplined to
be patient and endure .would have
avoided.
A recent novel suggests that tha "fates"
wouldn't bother to pile suffering after
suffering on the hero's heart unless
"they" had felt that ha was worth mak
ing into a great strong, tine man. After
losing everything he values In tha world
friendship, companionship, love, tha gift
of writing popular novels, his faith In his .
own power to achieve, his trust In his
wife, his pride In his son, and his boyish
conception of his father as a man big (If
only for evil) he cornea at last, stripped
ot everything, to the mountain tops, snd
there he knows that, standing empty
handed, uncompanloned and deaperato, ha
Is atlll master of himself, the rider of the
beast of his own evil desires, and that he
will. through difficulty, attain tha ,
heights.
The reason for tha discipline of sorrow
and suffering Is to make ua all strong.
Tha way to endure this discipline Is, of
course, to smile, however "dead wrong"
everything goea. Itot aa aa basic princi
ple to help you smile and aa an Incentive
to make you endure, remember this: Dis
cipline Is only given to people who are
Strang enough to endure It Some power
Is actually offering you a compliment
when It puts you to tha acid test of suf
fering. This Is the practical side of dis
cipline, and It points the way to the
spiritual one: "Whom Ood loveth He
chasteneth." i
Out of every sorrow you meet and en
dure bravely grows new power to endure,
new strength to meet tha demands of
life. Borne day when a great emergency
arises. If you meet it well, It will be be
cause strength has grown In your heart
In a "cumulative mass" due to all the
lesser emergencies you met bravely. Soma
day when a great responsibility Is of
fered you and you ars able to till the
position. It will ba because you meas
ured up to a series tf responsibilities.
No one resents growth, and the greatest
"first aid" to spiritual, mental and emo
tional growth Is discipline.
Advice to Lovelorn
By BaATaUOa r AIM AX
Definition: The flirt, in common language, is the lady who eltj
near the moon (or any far away place where she won't get herself
scorched) and with a long-handled feather from the vanity bird and a
perfectly innocent face tickles the son of Venus under the ribs and the
sensitive chin until he cries.
At first he laughs oh, very hard (he doesn't know any better
and he can't help himself anyway) but he winds up drowned in tears
and rage. And at first the man on another star for she won't let hin
get too close (so far and no farther) he laughs, too, aad believes tu
his heart that she's just a merry soul. But he changes his mind when
he digs to the bottom of her delicate Idea of cruelty.
The "genus homo" is warned that when be gets out his spyglaas
and lights on a lady with a feather and a "come hither-go away" loo
and a baby face, throw down everything that will count for weight in
a race and vanish as surely in the opposite direction as if a red India')
with a )ellow streak across his face and a war cry were after him. Th'i
flirt also comes in man's clothes. NELL BRINKLEY. -'
logical moment a time when they are
sitting In the midst of a feeding herd
of people In a publls restaurant, and
when the table Is spree 1 with a planked
steak and a lettuce salad, and he says:
"Say, Mamie, a little table tor two for
Ilka looks good to ma what do you say
to encoring this stac setting for keeps?"
And she gulps and looks down at her
plate, and says that she will have to
look It over, and ha responds cheerily:
"All, right; I'll give you thirty days."
and goea on discoursing about an apart
ment that ha knows that he can get at
a bargain.
Without doubt tha girl aays "Yes"
eventually. Tha man Is all light. If his
love-making la all wrong. Besides she
knows It's as good as she'll get, for tha
art of love-making Is lost There's no
mors of the beautiful old romance left
except In old novels and poems, but as
long as she lives the ptrl will go hunger
ing and thirsting for that which waa de
nied her.
Frhpe men lova aa truly as they ever
did. Perhapa the man who tells a woman
that It she'll marry him be will work hard
to support bait means Just aa well as
the man ho used to swear that ha
would kill himself it bis lady lova re
fused his suit Perhaps a beefsteak Is
Just as much a token of affection as an
orchid; but the practical, home-spun, all-wool-and-a-yard-wide
love-making will
never satisfy tha heart of woman. To the
end of time aha will pine for tha glory
and tha circling wings, tha music and
tha poetry of romantlo lova.
This Is why women crowd tha theaters
to sea on tha stags that which limy have
missed in real IK, and it la also why
American women are fascinated by for
eign men who have still preserved intact
tha romantlo art of lova making.
It la a pity that tha art of love-making
should have been lost ia this country. It
is even worth while to try to revive It
Perhapa It Is because we have so Utile
of tho genuine, old, romantic, handmade
lova In America that we have so many
divorces.

CHAPTER II.
There was a shadow on the Palisades,
ths grayneaa of a cloud which had not
been ther as they had started upon this
Jorney. Money the woman's money. It
had been all right for June to coax her
mother and wheedle her father, but they
were mumy and duddy. Yes, Ned would
give tier all he could afford, but that was
it he would give It to her. 8he would
ba paid for being his wife. She suddenly
arrived at the startling fact that this
waa the statu a cf every wife. It waa a
most disquieting thought, destructive of
self-respect It was unbearable.
Nad Warner felt tha precious head on
his shoulder become heavy. Poor little
girl. Oetting ready to be married was
wearisome work. Well, little wlfey's ter
rible tribulations, such as separating from
home and friends and Ikiuncur and being
made to give an account of herself, were
all over. Ned braced hlmaelf agalnat the
arm of tbe seut for fifteen minutes, wbllo
the tired head drooped lower and lower.
Poor little gill. Her neck would be stiff
from that strained position. Ha moved
even so gently, but the gentleness waa an
unnecessary precaution. Wlen he trlud
to shift her, she slid Into his arms with
out a flicker of her eyelids and lay there
sleeping like a buby, her long lashes curv
ing on her checks, her red Hps halt
parted.
Ha lifted June's feet into the other end
or the seat She gave herself one pretty
hrujr, which settled her into tho graceful
lines of perfect rest, put a pink palm
under her round cheek and slept straight
on. Ned covered her with a cloak, kissed
her cautiously on the outermoat surface
of her cheek and strode out to the
smoker.
Ha was back in five minutes to sea how
she was resting. The pretty little bride
had not the rosy flush of sleep which he
had expected to see. Her face had the
pallor of weariness and her beautifully
curved brows were knotted aa If In dis
tress. He thought that the light In her
eyes disturbed her and drew down one of
the blinds.
