notion that trees may piHffc a aort ot

Perhaps neither is aware ot Itself; but,

some dim way. There are persona who,

A remarkable Instance Is the cypress

City of Mexico. A recent photograph of

What Is
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
"A man friend ot mine says that love
is a form of Jealousy, and he adds that
affection and love are tho same thins.
Now I like a great many people, but do
not love them, and feel that Jealousy
would follow love rather than love
Jealousy, Won't you explain the matter
to me?" writes Edith.
What is loveT is a question that has
been asked almost ever since the world
began. The answers to It are about as
numerous as are the Individuals that
populate the earth. Even the Ideals of
love differ according to climate, race
and creed. A very clever man recently
said to me. "Love is a matter of geog
raphy." Love Is a matter of all sorts
of externals, which ft would be hard to
define. But In the ideal state love ousfht
to be and mean and stand for certain
very definite things.
First of all, love oufcht to be unselfish
and" seldom Is! Peal love ought to con
sider the happiness of its beloved, as
well as Itself. It ought to be faithful
and tender and true, and because It Is
these things In itself It ought to believe
in them in its beloved.
Jealousy la not part of love It Is love s
crueleet enemy, and it slays real love.
If you cannot trust, you do not love
and make up your mind to that
Emotion and love are often mistaken
for each other. Emotion inuy be a wild,
turbulent thing of feeling and desire, it
craves poreestt'm and renents the thoush:

Two Boys and a Prophecy Regarding Them

What the mirror reflected was
a pale, thin face surmount ng a tall thin
body, the face Itself surmounted by an
enormous shock of brown hair. The eyes
thst lit up the pale face were blue and
fairly Intelligent. He turned slowly with
a bored air when a shadow, falling
acroae the mirror, told Vim that a cus-
tomer had entered.

cupatlnn I had interrupted.
I glanced about the big, dreary looking
warehouse. Six feet from me ley what
I coveted, a piece ot tw'ne cast off by a
baety hand from a package
I stonDed. picked It up, vntangled a
knot or two and was beginning to tighten j
the fragile parcel when a lud who had i
been working In the rear of the room
came forward with another castaway, a
piece ef wrapping paper. The boy gently
took the bundle from my hand and deftly
wrapped and tied It. Jnn tha moment of
his work I looked from his strong,
capable, yet aensitlve hsnds, to his face.
There wasn't much in that face to make
looking Into the mirror a pleasure for
him. The features were strong, but
irregular. His smooth, straight hair was
thin. His sturdy figure looked as though
It would be happier swinging an ax la
a forest than tangoing in a tea room.

gray, jungle brown, midnight blue and

tumes made of white matelasse trimmed
with black fox, skunk, beaver or sealskin.
Without question white is the smartest
thing the fashionable woman can adopt
for her street attire. It goes almost with
out saying that It la likewise the most

serve the rule of "live and let live," and
by the wearing of white broadcloth,

But his eyes were etear as a mountain
lake when the morning sun shone, on It,
and his grave, half-smile reflected a
calm, brave spirit.
Quickly he looked up the list of the
firm's branch offices to see whether It
was represented In that distant city. In
a second he had weighed the little pack

changed a banknote. All this he had done
In less time than It had taken the first
vouth to explain that he couldn't do any-
1 thing. And he had done It with a mlni

I A simple Incident, consuming precisely
! three minutes, yet it meant a great deal.
The mirror gasing youth was the older.
His position in the fore front of the oi
fice denoted that he was older, too, In
experience. Yet the time will be short
Indeed befre the younger boy will move
from the dark rear of the room to the
sunny front, and the older one will be
fortunate Indeed If his plain neighbor
does not shoulder him out of the office.
Jho plain, quiet Junior lad will not pur
p soly do this. He will do It because he
can't help It. It Is his nature to do things
well and It Is his habit to do thoroughly
whatever he undertakes. He looks about
him and sees and acta according to what
he sees.
As I left the express office I heard
the older lad grumble, "We re not paid
to wrap packages," and although it
lacked one minute of he was slipping
Into his street coat.
What he said was true. He wasn't
paid for wrapping packages. No one
asked him to stay after . but had anyone
done so he would not have been forced
to stay.
But the boy who was willing to do
more than he was required to do. who
would, I will warrant, have stayed an
hour or two after without grumbling,
will become the president of that com
pany or another, and the other. If not
"fired." which la probable, will remain
a clerk, or slip back Into the obseurty
of being a gray-haired insfcnger.

and one may have a close fitting cap
of the toque order to match the costume.
Those ot a practical mind will prefer
the outing garb ot some one of the
modish colors. One may select a suit
of dull brown, of Belgian blue, rose or
bright green, and likewise models of a
purple color, aa well as of deep yellow.
A very attractive sport suit Is made of
rose-colored stockingette, the skirt on
straight and moderately wide lines and
supplied with troueer-llke pockets, whloh
fasten ever with a small rever and large
pearl buttons The coat Is much longer
than the usual suit model, reaohlng, as
It does, to the knees. It has pockets of
the reticule order, hung from the wide
self belt, the latter being attached with
two large buttons and buttonholes directly
in front
Of course It is Inevitable that the fur
collar and cuffs should be a part of the
suit, and in this particular Instance the
neck and sleeve ftnlxh Is ot raccoon, the
collar of the convertible sort to be raised
high above the neck or permitted to flat
ten out In modified sailor shape.
For the girl who prefers a smart trot
teur to a fuasy deml-costume, there has
been provided an attractive model with
short swinging skirt and a Jaurty Jacket.
The material Is Hurgundy broadcloth and
Indicates the skirt cut In gores with the
alternate pieces shaped In points that give
an Irregular edge to the hem.
The Jacket Is eeml-fltttng and fastens
way .over on the left side. There la
no attempt to fit the front with darts
or plaits, with the result that a sort of
Impromptu fold lntroduoes Itself across
the waist line which accentuates the deep
cuffs. A feature of the latter Is the pro
jected cuff of cloth falling beneath the
fur band and showing a facing of
Oriental brocade.
There are no between sises In hats. One
must wear a large hat or a small one, for
Paris has provided no medium shapes,
although she has taken great rare to
offer a wonderful variety In the ex
tremes of headgear one encounters at all
hours of the day and evening where
women congregate.
