I know the faces of friends, the illim itab'o variety of straight and curved lines, all surfaces, the exuberance of the soil, the delicate shapes of flowers, the noble forms of trees. By placing my hands on a person's lips and throat, I gain an idea of many specific vibra tions, and interpret them. Touch can not bridge, distance, but thought leaps the chasm. I have felt the rondure of the infant's tender form. I can apply the principle of the landscape and to the far-off hill. The exquisite beauties of sculpture cannot be -discovered by sight, but only by the touch of the hand, passed over it. Touch brings the blind many sweet certainties which our more fortunate fellows miss, because their sense of touch is uncultivated. When they look at things, they put their hands In their pockets. No doubt that is one reason why their knowl edge is often vague, inaccurate and useless. The keenness of our vision depends not on how much we can see, but on how much we can feel." Touch, you see. Is to her more won derful than sight. Now why do we not cultivate this sense of touch and add it to slirJit? Just think how much more we cciild the girl to the fairy. hand a bottle of milk and some rolls. The bread she broke Into a bowl, pour ing the milk over it and giving It to the sick man, who ate it with eager ness. Little Alice sat on the foot of the bed talking about the beautiful things sh had seen In the stores. "Oh. Dad," she said excitedly, "I saw a big doll dressed In pink and silver spangles on her skirt, and a fairy book, and a tea set in china, painted with pink roses and Santa Clauses. and bushels of candy, and oranges, and nuts, and Pies, and Just millions of bushels of toys it was Just fine." The sick man smiled feebly. He looked around the chill, bare room, out of the window at the mist streaming down the panes, at the table on which stood nothing out a smoky lamp and the bowl. Then he glanced at the eager brown face so happy in thinking about the bright things, and not rea lizing that none were for her. All this time Dorothy and the fairy had stood at the foot of the bed. but somehow the people In the room did not seem to notice their presence. "Per haps tney do not see us." whispered Snapshots BY B.KRB.SRA D 0YD. v .WEtihna, A Sense AVe Do Not Vae. lave been cautioned against let- ig the blind lead the blind for fear of disaster. But there is an In stance in which the blind so-called can lead us into quite a new world. Of course in this case, the blind are not blind. The blindness is with us who think we have good sight. The ques tion of blindness Is an enlightening one to study. , But this instance of the so-aclled blind leading us comes from the life of Helen Keller. In a magazine article she speaks of the sense of touch and what it tells her. She says she values the sense of touch much more highly than eyesight. She goes so far as to say that if a good fairy were to offer her her eyesight in place of her sense of touch, she would refuse to make the exchange. "The world that I see with my fin gers." she writes, "is alive, ruddy, sat isfying. Through, the sense of touch, see In this beautiful world of ours. How seldom do any of us undertake to see anything with our fingers. We are content with our eyes. Perhaps we have never known there was a sense of sight in our finger tips. But now that this blind girl has opened our finger-eyes- for us, why not profit by the knowledge? It is a sense we can all cultivate. She speaks also of how much more she finds in sound that do most people. It might not be possible for us yet to cultivate hearing to the extent she has. But nothing prevents. us from devel oping our finger tips, from opening these eyes of ours which have with most of us been closed since birth. If we cannot do much at it ourselves, we can teach our children to develop this sense, and thus broaden their world for them. And if we wish to go no further with It ourselves than mere ly as a form of amusement, we could some time, when a little group of friends have dropped in, discover Just how much we see with our fin iters. Each one of the party could be blind folded In turn, and some object given to him for him to describe from the sense of -touch. It might be interest ing to find out Just how much we can see with our Angers, how blind we are where we could see. Why not try it. reader friends. Just for the Interest of the experiment?

She took her way down the avenue, past the big gate and out into the lighted street. Onward she went, softly but swiftly, through the mist, over the top of the fine houses, sailing past the big gay stores. In the windows she could see piles of toys heaped and in the bake shops tons of steaming bread, frosted pastries, pies and sugar . figures. But they soon left the shopping district and took their way toward the outskirts of town. Dorothy noticed the streets grew narrow, the houses small; there were tiny, ill-kept yards and many windows were patched with bits of paper. The children looked poorly dressed and their faces pale. The fairy stopped before a small door which led into a dark hall. "We will go in here." she-said, lead ing the way. Dorothy, though wet to the skin, followed. In a moment she found herself In a tiny garret room. The walls were of plaster, which was broken off in patches; there was no rug on the bare floor, and the only furniture was a bed in which lay a sick man, a broken chair and a table. The girl noticed that the man was moaning in his sleep. Presently the door opened and in came Aunt Sarah and little Alice. Sarah had in her CALENDAR FOR TODAY. Society. Dinner dance Mrs. George T. Willett at Waverley Country Club tonight for Miss Anita Thorne. Luncheon Miss Marian Mor gan for Zier friends In the younger set. Outing The H. C. Wortmans and friends at Hillsdale. Luncheon Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs for Miss Grace de Graff at Hotel Benson. They do not either hear or see us" replied the fairy, "for we are Invisible to all their eyes." "Poor little Alice!" said Dorothy. "How sad It la that she has to live In such a cold, bare room and have no toys:" "Yes." replied the rairy, "you see how little some people have and how much you enjoy. But do you think about others, about sharing some of all you have with them, about helping others to be comfortable and happy? No. You think only of how much you have, of how much you wish to get and how you can bring about your gifts." Dorothy hung her head. Yes. she was mean and selfish. All the money and Jewels and silks the world owned could not change that. The rings and necklaces would not alter the fact that her heart was rold and unfeeling. Alice went to a corner and broughx a doll which she had made it was a stick with a rag wrapped about it. "Take me home," whispered Dorothy. Her heart was touched at last, and she felt ashamed of her proud, selfish spirit. So out of the window again they flew, and in a moment Dorothy found that she was picking herself up from the kitchen floor. It was dark, the light shone In from the street, but the glow had died out of the stove and she was cold. "Goodness!" she exclaimed. "I must have been dreaming. But it has done me good. I will try and be a different girl now and share my things with others who have so little." Just then Sarah came into the room. She had a shawl around her head, and seemed as if she had been crying. Dor othy knew the trouble. "Sarah." she said kindly, laying her hand on the woman's arm. "I havs seen the fairy of the Water-Spout and she has taught me a good lesson. 1 am going to have the finest Christmas of my life, but not in the way I at first expected. I mean to do what I can to make you and your family comfort able. Papa will see that you have two nice rooms, and he will get a doctor for your husband. Mamma and I will see that little Alice has plenty of good clothing and I will fill her stockings with toys. You are right the best Christmas Is the one In which we do something for some one else. I am glad you have helped me know this, for I see that we are happiest ourselves in making others happy." So Dorothy told her parents all about Alice and Sarah's sick husband. And they were delighted to help her carry out her plans, which ended In so much comfort for Sarah and little Alice.
