Theu followed the Lord's prayer, never tunitted from uuy of the early textbooks. To the Colonists, avid for a religious life, the appearance of this prayer was far more important than uuy eduuitlonul device whatsoever. Over the whole printed page was a thin sheet of transparent yellowish horn. Uoth tho paper and the horn were fastened to the board by u nar row strip of metal held down by little tacks, a simple and primitive process.

Only Unwite Pereone Lose Zett of Living It is a fairly common experience to see life go stale. Every one has known people who have reached a point where they have lost their zest in living. They feel they have had all the thrills. Nothing Is left except boredom. Young people who have been spoiled by Indulgent and unwise parents often are In this plight They are eager to find a new kick and no kick Is forthcoming. There are two preventives of such a frame of tulnd. One Is to practice *elf-denlal for self-denial's sake, just as an athlete keeps fit by exercise and restruint of diet. The other Is to get Interested In doing something worth while; to forget the pursuit of happiness and take happiness as a by-product of useful living. An athlete needn't go stale If he takes sensible caro of himself to pre¬ vent It. Neither need any person in the ordinary business of living. ere Speculation at i to \First American*'' Hid the natives of the New world eoumunlcute with tb« Inbubituiitu of tin Old world before th? discovery of America by the Norieiu«u about the year 1000?

Purple asters and autumn leaves make gorgeous decorations. Tiny purple asters may be uied instead of birthday candles on a white birth¬ day cake. Or you may bake the cake in a tube pan and place a vase of asters in the center after the cake is frosted. Have tall candle- sticks on mantels and tables, with purple candles In them. For the centerpiece of the table, make a lavender and purple crepe paper Tack Horncr Pie, and in it place the birthday gifts, all wrapped in lav¬ ender tissue and tied with purple Hbbon. When possible, gifts should have a suggestion of purple about them. Scarfs, perfume, silk or linen printed handkerchiefs, bath salts, boutonnieres, pictures, and books may all be selected so that there is at least a hint of royal purple about them.
