Do a Good
Turn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
A6out twice a day I get a letter
from tome one who is just "plain
unhappy." Life is drab for Jane or
John, Nothing happens to add a
touch of rose color to the dish wa
ter gray of existence. And with a
cry of weariness Jane ' or John
shrieks out at mc a plea to find a
way out OR And that "or" is a
threat to let go the reins, stop "try
ing to be, good," give it all up as a
bad job.
Before I go into the matter of
(let's say) Jane, I want to tell you
a tiny happening of today. There
came to me in a bit of distress our
competent and likeable head stenog
rapher. She needed the address of
an author. And she had no data
other than the woman's name. I
failed to produce any information
concerning what the woman ftad
written, but suggested that at lunch
time I'd stop in at one of our big
book shops and ask for information.
Said Annar "Perhaps I can save
you the trouble by telephoning."
Within' five minutes a beaming
young woman stopped at my desk
and informed mc that she had the
writer's country home address.
(Yes, we'd looked in the telephone
book, before despairing of finding
oat lor ourselves.)
"Thank you so much," cried Anna
in her warm, friendly way. "I
thought you'd be able to help me.
Smiling gratefully, she departed to
tell some one else how I'd helped
her. Of course. I'd done nothing a
chance suggestion had worked. But
Anna's viewpoint did it all. She felt
gratitude, beamed gratitude, ex
pressed it, too. And I had a nice,
warm, cozy feeling that I'd really
done something for one of my fel
low workers. '
I'm sure for Anna and me the day
had a particularly rosy hue all
made tip for blue skies and golden
warmth and great good will.
Any one may illuminate a day with
the elements that went to make up
out delight. Gratitude, gracious
ness those were the things Anna
brought to the occasion. It doesn't
matter that the gratitude was for the
merest trifle. She felt good will
coming! from me to her. She gave
out good will again. (
Chances to do tmy things for
folks are coming along all the time.
To look for them, to- seize upon
them, to make of them an opportun
ity for self-forgetfulness, is to in
sure a certain warm glow that's
bound to put to flight all the mias

to make some one else forget the

likely to find that there's no one for
whom she'd done so great a service
as iust for herself.
The folks who are gracious and

But how much chance do you sup

Suppose some one offers you nis

the world seem a pretty good place?
Suppose a street car conductor care

Truth.
Truth is within ourselves, it takes
no rise
From outward things, whate'er you
may believe,
There is an inmost center in 'is all.
Where Truth abides in fullness and
'tq know"
Rather consists in opening out a
way,
Whence the imprisoned splendor
may escape
Than in effecting an entry for a
. light
Supposed t ho within.

Adams Nuway Laundry
The secret of "getting your money's
worth" lies in the elimination of buy
ing mistakes. Particularly is .this
true of corsets where the element of
health and comfort is of equal im
portance with the always-absorbing"
y subject of appearance. The corset
you discard after a few uncomfort
able wearings or the corset you con
tinue to wear at the expense of your
appearance and peace of mind, is
the corset you cannot afford. ,
" I
The value of the corset you buy to
day is not in the number of 'dollars
" you pay for it, but 'in the number of
days it will wear beyond the life of
he average corset and, continue to
give you the joy of possession it gave
' the first day you put it on. '
Gossard Front-Lacing Corsets are
produced with the fullest apprecia
tion of these facts- each corset pro
duced is a masterpiece. Certainly
nothing short of conspicuous superi
ority can account for the over
whelming and ever-increasing vogue
for these original front-lacing cor
vsets. Women have found in them
the complete expression of true cor
set economy.
i ,
Whatever your corset needs, there
are many Gossard corsets in accord
ance with the unchanging principles
of beauty and good taste that will
assure you graceful lines and fault
less proportions with that uncon
sciousness of restraint that can only
result from the healthful support of
a perfecdy fitting corset.
