the despised Samaritan which was tlTld
him to illustrate the ]»oint. It Is a
story familiar to most people, no doubt.
A certain man sets off for Jericho along
a road and through a country difficult,
dangerous, beset by perllg. He Is held
up on the way, beaten, robbed, stripped
of hik clothing and left bleeding and
broken by the roadside, thirst and
hunger snd pain rack him, but the way

“ijow unfortunate,” he probably
murmured, hut the mnn was no friend
Of his, he had been n fool to take such
a journey alone and unprotected. Any­
way It was the business pf his friends
to look after him, nnd the virtuous
priest walked on.
It was a Levite, n* rcHglous aristo­
crat, who came next down tire road.

he walked discreetly on the other side
so thnt hla ears might n«t be an-
noyed by the cries of the sufferer or
his body made unclean through physi­
cal contact with 1dm. What was nn
pleasant, he would nvoid. He was the
selfish, self-satisfied, self-complaisant
citizen.
It was the Rnifinritan. despised and
socially outcast, from whom nothing
should have been expected, who recog­
nized the demands of brotherhood and
whose tendí* heart turned toward the
unfortunate man. He was a neighbor

London.—For centuri«« th« hair

as a charm by superstitious Mtlvea
of the E>st. But only recently has
this ancient precaution against the
evil eye penetrated to London.
Now charms made from elephant
hair are sold la the form ot rings and
bracelets.
Ring« may be obtained
from $2.25 upward, and bracelets cost
about the same price; although those
with gold «tlrul mounts run up to
$12.50 or more. .
A very popular bracelet has a gold
clasp with a portly elephant in white
enamel hanging from a circle of hair;
another has a. strand of gold wire
twisted with hair. Signet rings have
the hair set in half the hoop at the
back. There are also twisted ring«
and plain ones without the signet.
