f THE GLORY OF
IMAGINATION
By
ELLEN ADAIR
"When the Heart Is Young"
"The only reason that I wish for a
great deal of money Ir that It would
enable mo (o travel," said a woman the
other day. "I do envy those peoole who
urn nblo to roam whero and when the
spirit mores theml"
This feeling overtakes everybody at
times at least,' everybody who Is "worth
"While," For the spirit of adventure Is
a Very flno thine, nnd tho woman who
! destitute of It is mtsMng the glory
and tho joy of llfo. What docs it matter
though these dreams are never realized,
though they remain "the light that never
wns on land or sea" have tucy not
brought a wonderful thrill and a wonder
ful liopo In their train?
I know an Invalid who for years has
keen unable to movo from her bed. Sho
Buffers n great deal of pain, but bIio Is
always cheerful, nlwaya bright And why?
Because bIio Is possessed of this wonder
fut spirit of adventure, this great faculty
of Imagination that can transform tho
dullest surroundings Into a veritable City
of Beautiful Homncc. For the would-be
traveler la always lntonsoly Imaginative.
This invalid has quite a library of guide
books and travelers' catalogues. And she
knows them all by heart. She has read
them so often that she can desorlbo the
scenery of most parts of tho world ac
curately. Her powers of description are
brilliant Tho nrst tlmo I heard her talk
I was positively delighted. "What a won
derful llfo you have hadl" I could not
help exclaiming. "You must havo visited
every corner of Europel"
he smiled rather sadly. "I havo been
chained to this room for SO years," said
he,
But her heart was younir And when
that Is tho caso nothing else really mat
ters. For It implies and Includes so many
delightful and wonderful things that one
really could not pity her. Sho had learned
tho great secret of life, had caught the
Immortal spark from heaven itself, the
secret of Fe.-petual Youthfulness. Her
mind was traveling, traveling over won
derful countries and snow-clad peaks. She
was living a llfev of Adventure, a life
of Romance, and one that neither pain
nor suffering could take away from her.
"It is surprising how sho clings to life,"
oaid a visitor one day. "And Ufa offers
her so little!"
But tho visitor wa3 mistaken. For what
Hfe had taken away from her, the in
valid's imagination had supplied, and
mora than supplied. Sho was happy and
contented. Her Imagination had kept her
olive through all tho long years of Ill
nessand not only kept her alive, but
brought her great happiness, too.
T often think that I really know more
about the world than if I had actually
ylsltod these lovely places," said sho one ,

"Whero shall wo go?" asked tho clouds
ho had spoken to; "wo don't corn about

Tho sun chuckled to himself a minute
and then ho replied, "Oh. very well, Just

"There nowl" exolalmed tho sun In con

In tho winter time the sun is so lazy he

'imd to tt'ik about them and to read
about them and to look at pictures of
thorn than other people have. Just now
I inratlno tht I am 'ylng In London,
and oh, I nm having such a lovely timet
t am spending weks there and doing it
thoroughly, which Is moro than tho or
dinary tourist does.
"This aftornoon I did Westminster Ab
bey. It all seemed so entirely real to me,
and bo utterly wonderful. I stepped
noiselessly in the ffreat spaciousness of
tho place, and spent an hour among the
taBt resting placed of tho Kings and
Queens. Tho sun filtered through tho
stained-glass windows, and never in nil
my life havo I felt such utter peaco be
fore. "Then the organ began to. play. What
a wonderful organ it 1st And tho service
for Evensong began. It won exqultito.
The muslo seemed to express all tho
richness In coloring of tho drifting light,
tho harmony of proportions and tho
stately beauty of tho marblo columns. It
was like a poem to me. I couldn't have
enjoyed it tnoro It I hod actually been
there.
"Than I bado farewell to tho Kings and
Queens, sleeping there so quietly and
with such stateltness, and took a taxi
ride to Kensington Gardens whero oil tho
nurses and tho children tako their after
noon walk, and whoro Barrio's 'Peter
Pan' lived. I saw all tho little boys sail
ing their yachto on tho Bound Pond, and
I wandored along by tho banks of tho
Serpentina.
"When tho sun went down in tho West
nnd tho shadows lengthened, and th
nursemaids took tho littlo boys and girls
homo for tea, I motored IbacJc to tho
Hotel Cecil, In tho Strand, whero tho
footmen in their bluo velvet knoebreoohes
and satin stockings hurried to got my
tea. Yes, I nm having a lovely tlmo in
London In imagination!"
Tho woman who has a mind llko this la
to be truly envied. For aha has learned
tho greatest secret of life. Sho has con
quered pain, conquered Imprisonment
oonquered oven llfo Itself. Her mind has
brokeotho bars, and, borne on tho wings
of Imagination, has found a deep peaco
and a deep happiness that neither pain
nor suffering nor lU-fortuna can over
take from her.

Then ho looked again to find what

"Now I seel" he exolalmedj "whydidnt

Sure enoughl All along tho edge of the

A Pretty Evening Gown
Tho hotel here had Its biweekly ball
last night, and some of tho gowns were
really lovoly. It was altogether quite n
gorgeous gceno, and evory ono enjoyed
It immensely.
Elinor wore a perfectly bewitching
frock of crepo meteor, in n shade of
palest bluo-gray. Tho Bklrt woo bordered
with beaded laco, which extended half
way up tho wldo flounce at tho bottom.
The littlo bodice was sleeveless, and the
shoulder-straps wero of beaded lace,
caught on top with a small spray of chif
fon rosebuds.
Tho clrdlo wab also of beaded lnce,
finished with moro pink rosebuds.
My own gown was quite pretty. It was
in a very pale shade of pink ohlffon over
pink satin, In onvplro style. Tho electros
wero very tiny, and wero ornamented
with targe ohlffon bows on each should or,
whloh gave a very light touoh to tho
whole. The skirt hung straight and
ssvero from a black chiffon choux which
ornamented tho V-shnped opening at tho
back of tha shoulders, and a narrow lino
of blade Jet trimming' ran round tho
bodice and under the arms, coming abovo
tho. bust lino.
Excessive thinness can't be hidden in
theso days of revealing fashions. Tho
reasons for lack of weight ore varied.
For Instance, a woman who 13 in tho
habit of worrying herself day and night
over nothing at all seldom gives herself
a chanco to gain weight Then, too, It
often happens that a girl who is always
dancing, running around and eating at
odd hours will bo deplorably thin. This
is vory obviously durable, if sho is only
wllllnff to tako tho necessary measures.
As long as Lent is hero, and a goodly
number of amusements are curtailed,
why not put on a littlo weight If you aro
too thin?
In tho first place, you can't afford to
havo nerves If you are a thin girl. Don't
rush; try to remember that there are so
very few things which aro worth rushing
for, that It is not worth while to risk your
health ovor them. Nervousness, worry
and excitement have a definite and de
cided action on tho digestive fluids. Take
your food slowly, mostlcato each particle
thoroughly. Once you havo learned to
do this you will never hurry. Eat at
tho same tlmo every day, and don't eat
between meals.
This Is Just tho reason that most of our
