THIS DAY AND YOU
By Ralph Walde Trine
AntiitT of "la Tan With tat Inltatt."
We Get a We Give
Lere, sympathy, geed-will and the
kindly deed that Is always ready and
en tap is what expands, multiplies and
beautifies life. Hatred, cynicism, 111
will, self-seeking, envy and Jealousy
Is what dwarfs and stultifies.
Hew Instinctively all men and wom
en are drawn te and seek the company
of these whose lives era dominated
by the former! Hew Instinctively
they shun and even despise the com
pany of these who are embodiments of
the latter! And this et itself speaks
volumes as te which is the right or the
wrong approach te life.
One can never de an act of kindly
service for another without in the very
act of doing it reaping a corresponding
benefit for himself. It Is net the
professional geed-doing; for thnt,
many times, becomes self-conscious,
conceited, even self-seeking. It is
rather setting the heart aright and keen
ing the mind open always te seize the
opportunity te de the kindly service
wherever the need is known, wherever
the opportunity presents itself.
There is also a great law of In
directness that operates here. It is this :
Whenever we de an act of kindly serv
ice for another, forgetful of and with
no thought of self or gain, many times
it does us mero geed than the one for
whom we de it. The life is broadened,
ennobled, expanded, lifted out of nnd
above the dwarfed and the stunted of the
commonplace.
Se, in the last analysis, it resolves
itself into this fermula: We find our
lives in losing them in the larger human
servlpc. Why? Eternal Law has se
decreed.

Outside the house, she paused, and
suddenly there swept ever her the
realization that this was net only a
house, it wus home. People who cared
about her lived in it, and with n dif
ferent feeling from that she had ever
had befere, she ran up the steps and
rang the bell.
Her mother opened the deer nnd her
sensitive face flushed when she saw
who lt was.
"Martha Is busy with dinner, dear."
she said apologetically, "and I just
happened te be downstairs."
Twe nights before Aline had criti
cized her mother severely fe answer
ing the bell, nnd the memory of this,
together with the note of apology in
her mother's voice, brought the quick
tears te Allne'e eyes.
In a flash she was across the thrwdi.
old and had seized her mother In her
arms,
"Darling, I've been n beast te live
with," she sold impulsively, "but I'm
going te try te be different." And ns
she held her mother close. hn rnnll7,.,l

Can Yeu Tell?
By R, J. and A. IV. Beimer
What Happen When Memery Falls?
When memory falls peracthlng hap
pens within the brain similar te what
takes place when the operator breaks
the connection whlle you are talking
en the telephone.
All of the impressions registered in
our brain, however, nre nermanenllv'
(.recorded, and the right contacts will
Lring tnem te the front again. These
records are made In the outer rim or
cortex of the brain, which Is mnde
up of billions of cells, each of which hn
branches like little wires, te give it
rejitnct with the surrounding cells
These cells, therefore, through thelt
outside wires, overlap like the Icavet
of many trees growing together.
Te understand what happens when
memory fails we must first see what
occurs when we remember or recall a
thing. When we are able te recall
things, the cells through their over
lapping branches are in perfect con
tact, and It is easy te bring the im
pression asked for te the front. WIipt
we become tired, however, or are shock
ed or perhntis merely through age, the
supply et tioeu hent te the lirnln
is peer nnd these cells are temnnrarllv
or permanently undernourished. The re
sult Is that the ends of the everlnn-
pin branches curl up nnd thus lese
contact with ether celts, destroying
the connection. Excepting in old "nee
when the curling up becomes perma
nent, this condition Is generally reme
died bv rest, nnd thnt is why. who"
you sometimes are trying te remember
a name, for Instance, nnd cannot. 1'
you step trying for n while the nnmp
will suddenly pep Inte veur head. The
rest hns given the cells tlme te make
normal contact.

box, nnd it has a yellow center, but
the yellow is really mere orange, what
de you think? D'yeu think it leeks
tee deep?"
A fascinating subject.
Every wemnn would rise te a discus
sion of this kind, ordinarily, especially
with such an exquisite example for
consideration.
Why, it makes you n bit envious
yourself, doesn't it? A black flower
or some brown fur en a pale yellow
evening dress doesn't it sound do de do
llcleus? Or maybe a dull copper
colored flower, or a feather ornament
would be better?
Hut the ether member of the tete-a-tete
gave the delicate thing a polite
glance.
"Why don't you use the black?"
she sold rapidly. "Fur isn't worn se
much, is it?"
HER friend gazed at her in pained
surprise; she was usually be help
ful in matters of this kind.
But after a few minutes mere of
meditation Tier secret sorrow was mad
known. "Yeu knew," she said, slow
ly. "Yeu can buy a house in n fe
years for the amount you pay out for
lust nlaln rent. And really it doesn't
cost nn awful let te build, when you
just want a small house what axe you

She will almost lese herself in lt,
but then somebody will sing n song
about n little house and 11 fireplace,
with a chair for two, or something Ilka
thnt. and the party Is nil lest.
"I'm going te have a fireplace in
every room," sighs the guest, raptur
ously, "and one of these davenports
that stand out into the room, you
knew, with the end up by the side of
the fireplace."
The people directly In front of you
begin te turn their heads halfway
