YOUNG lady reader has asked us
to write something about Sim
plicity. Perhaps she is that rarity
among modern women whe has grown
tired of the tinsel and show of the life
of today and wants to hear about
something less complicated—something
more after the fashions und thoughts
of our grandmothers’ times,
But we are not going to write of
simplicity In dress, or simplicity in so-
cial customs. We are going to refer
the young lady to three things which
seem in all the world’s complications
to be the best examples of simplicity
that we can think of.

come unto me for of such are the
Kingdom of Heaven.” The great
teacher did not mean that heaven wae
peopled by little But he did
mean that the minds of those who
had attained supreme happiness had
the simplicity, the goodness, the love,
the trustfulness which is characteris.

Study the mind of a child and
will marvel at the simplicity and di
rectness of its reasnoning.
