ALL OF US

Heaven oval- all of us.
Not over one or two,
Grasses under all of us.
Not only I and you.
Birds that sing for all of us.
And not for two or three~
ty here for all of us
her all of us to see.

We are losers. all of us

When a robin falls

‘Thst had heartened all of us
With his happy cells.

When some tree of all of us
It is the axrnan fells.

We are poorer. all of us,
Even he who sells.

God has gll'en all of us.
Not to three or four,

Beauty near to all of us.
At our very door.

We are stewards. all of us,
0f the things that smile.

Held in trust for all of us
For a little while.

A WONDERFUL WORLD

One sound more sweet than the
Whispering trees.
And that is the song a. mother

sings.
“One tide more powerful than the
seas,
And that is the urge of inner
things—

It's a wonder world where our
footsteps fall.
if we see the wonder so near us all.

For God has given a tree a song.
But a sweeter song to a, mother's
lips;
And the winds blow hard and the
seas run strong.
But a man goes selling them with
his ships.
It's a wonderful world in which we
dwell.
If a wonderful life “T" live as well.

And so I say to the mother, love;
And so I say to the sailor. call!
For God has made you the masters

of
The sea. the forest. the heart. the
gals.
Whatever our fortune. it high or
low.
it's a wonderful world if we make
it so.

And only the idle shall miss its
love.
And only the dullards the vision
miss '
Of a world that. our hand and our
heart employs.
And then of a world that is after
this: .
It's s. wonderful world, whatever
you do. '

 

If you see the wonder so close to

you.

THE ELUSIVE HANDBAG

0 many men it seems quite
T ridiculous and inexcusable the
.. way women mislay or lose
their handbags. "If you always kept
it in one place." they counsel. "you
would know where to look for it”:
or. "I: you spent as much energy
keeping track of your handbag as
you do hunting it up after you have
mislald it, you would never have to
look for it."

Such comments. of course. are
quite safe, since men do not have to
carry handbags and do not run the
risk of being caught in the same fix.
‘ Now some one has come forward
with an invention 01st ought to do
a great deal to help women out in
this difficulty. and it is much more
\helpful to invent a device of this
sort than to give good advice. The
device is a bag made of some lumin-
ous material so that it glows in the
dark and can therefore be found by
its own radiance. These bags, which
are of It‘nench origin. are someumes
made of black silk embroidered
beautifully in fine white crym]
beads. It is the beads that shine in
dark places.

MORE ORANGE JUICE

It would almost seem as if all the
writers on food values were inter-
ested in the orange groves of the
land. for all of them urge the using
of more and more orange Juice.

The fact is that doctors and
dieticisns and mothers all realise
the tremendous health value of
orange Juice. and can therefore
never say quite enough in its favor.

Orange juice. is palatable-“to al-
most everybody. Some babies do
not. like it the first few times they
have it. It is the first taste they
have ever had of anything save
milk. of course, and probably seems
sour. But they soon become accus-

And almost any child or adult who

' for it. Most children would rather

SHORT

STORY

 

Opals and Diamonds

By DOROTHY DOUGLAS
Copyright, 1925, by The cream Newspaper syndicate.

HEN the first baby arrived in
the Oliver household, Fred
Onslow found himself a

god-father and Sylvia in the unique
position of god-mother. Fred had
known Sylvia. since the day she
was a. leggy child with stubby pig-
tails tied with flaming scarlet bows.

Sylvia. was eighteen now and Fred
twenty-three.

"It's such a pity you too don't
fall in love with each other." the
Oliver‘s said frankly; "you will both
need the self-sacrificing discipline of
marriage if you are to develop into
nice characters. In another few
years you'll both be wishing you had
a nice home and family—as we
have."

Sylvia and Fred
naturedly.

"I am going to sue the mrld."
Fred informed them.

"And I want a career,” stated
Sylvia. “And besides Fred and 1
know each other far too well to fall
in love."

“You’re right." agreed the unilat-
tering Fred, “and now, by way of
changing the subject. I want to tell
you that on each birthday my god-
cliiId has she is going to receive an
opal. Thus when she‘s ten there will
be ten stones and by the time she is
twenty she can have a nice set of
jewelry made."

“And i." promised Sylvie. “will
give my god-child a diamond—not a
big one—lust a tiny one and they
can be used with the opsls when she
is twenty."

‘Tou're both too good.” exclaimed
Mrs. Oliver. "But it's a sweet idea.”

So after the christening. ceremony
Sylvia and Fred went their separate
ways. Fred. in the course of a. year
or two found himself in Australia
and each year an opal, growing with
the years. in beauty and size. was
added to baby Oliver's collection.
Fred was evidently making his way
successfully through the world.

Sylvia went in for writing poetry
and made very, very slow progress.
She become engaged to a waster
who when they married brought her
nothing but unhappiness. She con-
tinued to send the god-child a dis-
mond but each yes: the stone-be-
came smaller.

The Oliver-s watched the affairs
with keen interest still wishing with
all their hearts that their two dear-
est of friends had married early.

When baby was eight years old. a
finer diamond than the previous one
arrived. The Olivers did not know.
however. since Sylvia lived half-way
across the continent from them. that
it was one of the stones from on
via's engagement ring. There were
five in all.

"They will tide me over another
four years." Sylvia told herself
cheerfully. Her husband had gone
through every penny of her money
but Sylvia was keeping up s brave
front. Her discipline through mar-
riage was harder than the Olivers
suspected.

Often Sylvia heard of Fred and
always she was told of the 0sz that
arrived at the some time as the dia-
mond. Baby was getting a most
lovely collection of her birth stones.

"When she is fifteen." wrote Mrs.
Oliver. “I do so wish you could come
on for a visit and we will talk of
having some of the stones set. I
should love your advice."

Sylvia sighed as‘she read the letter
and. looked down at her shabby
clothes. Her poetry was selling a
bit but not so well as it. might. Any-
way it helped a. little. She realized

laughed good

that she could do far better by her-
celf and longed for the freedom of
before marriage days. Naturally she
fell to wondering how marriage with
Fred would have developed her.
Certainly it could not have been so
hard a school as the one she had
30110 through.

Another you passed and with it
went the second diamond from the
ring. With that year too went Byl-
vic‘s husband. She wasn‘t sorry and
she turned a braver face to a lonely
world and wrote for better poetry.

“We are wishing you could come
on this year,“ wrote Mrs. Oliver.
“Alice will be fourtocn and she does
so want some of her lovely stones
set into a pendant. I think she
could have one. don't you?"

“I believe I can manage.“ wrote
back Sylvia.

The separation of ten years was
bridged instantly with the cntwiuing
arms of real friendship. Sylvia wept
copiously on her friends shoulder
and when she raised her head it
seemed as if the whole fifteen years
had fallen from their lives. The day
of the christening ceremony seemed
but yesterday.

They were chatting like magpie-
when a great clunging of the bell
startled them. A second later. Fred
Onslow. big and bronsed. was an-
nounced. '

Sylvia shrank back in the shadow.

“What a glorious surprise." Mrs.
Oliver partied quite overcome with
Joy.

"I wanted to bring Alice her opal
myself this time." laughed Fred.

A second later he and Sylvia were
sleeping hands and their eyes clung
together with curloud intensity.

Mrs. Oliver went softly from the
room to interview the cook.

And after dinner, in which a
little of cannon a little of madness
and a great deal of gladnees entered
in. Mrs. Oliver smiled wisely. And
in her silent glance Oliver read her
thoughts.

“I know it now.” he admitted with
a look full of everything that is
beautiful toward Sylvie. "but we’re
goingtobsveabigtrystmsldng
up for fifteen years that we‘ve lost."

And little Alice looked about and
wondered why everyone looked so
happy Just because it was her bit-u...
day.

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Thorn.

By C. N. LURI!

"NEITHER WIRE”
IN a recent newspaper report of

 

a trial which attracted wide at-

tention. a lawyer was quoted as
saying to the Jury:

“And were you not surprised that
neither the complainant’s brother
nor her husband. both of whom
must have known of this alleged
amusement between the plaintiff
and the defendant. were called to
testify?"

The lawyer. being presumably a
man of education, should not havc
used “were" .with Walther." He
should have said: "Neither the
cornplainant’s brother nor her bus.
hand, both of whom must have
known of this arrangement between
the plaintlrr and the defendant, was
called.to testify."

"Neither" means "not either. not
the one nor the other." and is
therefore a singular word and must
take the singular verb.

A Higher and More Moulded Waist-

New Frocks. ‘
'1‘ may be that the tendency away
from the straight and curvclecs

one might male a list of eminent
stars in Hollywood who wear frocks
that‘do not conceal the natural
curves of the waist and hips. Ulti-
mately. of course. this is a redecv
tion of popular taste. The observ-
ant dircotor has come to the con-
clusion that the charming actress
often has more appeal in s frock
that is somewhat molded than in
the straight. shift-like frock that
has so long been a favorite with the

very smart woman. and is still to a

great extent.

New French designers and dress-
makers are doing their best to bring
back this more shapely silhouette,
and this usually means it somewhat.

of dares. gorlng or other form of
fullness in the skirts will give fur-
ther effect of sienderness to the
waist.

But even though this tendency
progresses npidly within the next
six months or so. there need be no
fear of a. return of the corsetted
figures of days gone by. In fact.
the chief charm of the new moulded
silhouette depends on a perfectly
pliant and naturally slender form.
If this silhouette becomes an ac-
ccmpliahed fact, then more than
ever will women need to drink of
the fountain of youth and more than
ever need we fear the accumulation
of too solid ilcsh. for while the more

Resistance Coupled Amplification
is the name applied to a method of
audio-frequency amplification that
is becoming increasingly popular.

in this system the amplifying
transformer usually employed in
the second stage is replaced by suit-
able msistsnces and condensers for
the transfer of energy from one
stagetotbcnext. Theresrescvcral
advantages of such a system over
the usual transformer-mid am-

First. resistance coupling is very
easy to build; second, the parts are
inexpensive. and finally. the result

The only disadvantage is that. the
volume is not: as great. It takes

three stages of resistance coupling'

to equal the volume of two stages-
of transformer coupled amplifica-

This does not mean greater ex-
pense. however, for the initial cost
of three stages of resistance coupled
ampliflcstion is about the same as
that ct two stages of transformer

of Monaco coupling is about one.

I. A TRAITOR CALLED A
TURNCOAT?

leading role in the formation

of many words which an
(sniffer to us today. is directly re.
Me for the term "turncoat'
II applied to a traitor or anyone
Who deserts one cause in order to
join the opposite party.

This peculiarly appropriate desis-
nsticn owes its origin to Emmanuel.
one of the firstxdukcs of Savoy
whose dotninions lay between the
contesting houses of Spain and
Franco and who was, on this ac-
count. tor-cod to tempm‘lze and tail
in With the schemes of whichever
party appeared to be in the ascent!-
cncy.

Being 'so frequently obliged to
shift his allegiance. the duke had
a cost made which was blue on one
side and white on the other and
might be worn with either side out.
When. in the interests of diplomacy.
he thought it best to side with the
Bunilrds. Emmanuel would wear
the blue side outermost. While. it
he were working with the French.
his cost would appear to be white.
It was for this reason that he
gained the surname of the "turn-
coat." in order to distinguish him
from other dukes of Savoy also
named Emmanuel. and the term
has come down, unaltered. to this
day. .
