All the girls are waxing most enthusiastic over sealing wax. Even the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker, aside from their first natural' surprise at having their bills paid at all, are doubly stunned at receiving the:r checks in envelopes dashingly sealed v-ith monogramnicd splotches of vivid wax. You see, the dear girls are practic ing on everybody just to perfect theii art of making a good impression.

This meeting is called The Congress of Constructive Patriotism, is under the auspices of the National Security League and is aimed to better military, naval and industrial preparedness in the United States. There are seventy three delegates from New York City alone. The subject is to be discussed in a non-partisan, non-political spirit. Women arc to take an important part in the discussion. There arc expected Great seals of state, government seals, royal seals and pontificial seals h?.ve always been the last word as 'twere, so the last so. With the lovely new paper embossed with a monogram or crest in a con trasting or darker tone in the upper left corner it is a last artistic touch to seal the envelopes, lined with the same color as the embossing, with the same shade of sealing wax in which the imprint of the smart crest or mono gram is set. Buff colored paper, monogramnicd, envelope lined, and oealed in golden brown is a favorite color scheme, as to be about 1,000 delegates present. i pearl grey combined either with a 1 "The object," said S.

Of course the perfection of the col or scheme is further carried out by having the tapers where one melts the wax partake of the same chosen hue and the quill pen wherewith one writes must also perforce be colored likewise. Really the only blow to the color scheme is handed out heartless ly by the United States of America. It is indeed very inconsiderate of the government not to have different tontd stamps to fit in with the color scheme of one's stationery. Fancy having to suffer the clash of a red two-cent stamp, a jarring note to mar the perfect symphony of your grey and purple notes. The soul of the artistic letter writer must writhe indeed to set a red stamp in the margin of a Wedgewood enve lope. Really the only way out is to be extravagant and use five-cent stamps on the blue notes and a col lection of one-cent one's on lettuce effects. Lovers ought to welcome the re turn of the sealing wax and the seal with particular avidity. The state of i cal way. Professor Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard has this branch of the work in chage." The well known men and women citi zens present today are expected to give their personal definitions of what patriotism really is.

Consideration Because he was a friend in need To earth's down-trodden brotherhood Because he reconized no creed ' In his attempt to do some good; Because his every thought and word And act disclosed to all his clan That he, by noble motives stirred, Was one who loved his fellow man God would not let pain rack his breast When his soul struggled to be free, But, folding his worn hands in rest, He sent Death for him quietly. Ralph M. Thompson, in The Chris tian Herald. The River and the Tree "You arc white and tall and swaying," sang the river to the tree, "And your leaves are touched with sil ver but you never smile on me; For your branches murmur love songs to the sun-kissed turquoise sky And you seem so far above me that I always hurry by!" "You arc laughing in your shallows, you somber in your deeps, And below your shinning surface there's a heart that never sleeps; But all day you pass me dancing, and at evening time you dream, 'And I didn't think you like me," sang the birch-tree to the stream. So they got a bit acquainted on a glowing summer day, And they found they liked each other, (which is oftentimes the way); And the river got so friendly, and it ran so very slow, That the birch-tree shone reflected in the water down below!
