THE FAILURE
Tin man wbo is sntiylied with his

I person never quits, never stops
and examines* his accomplishments
wi*h the feeling that he ltas done
well. There is always more to be
. done. And If one does not' continue
to conquer difficulties, he is a failure.?Selected.
DRESS AND PERSONALITY
The selection of clothes revealh
personality. Even the matter of col
comes not from the hills but from
the Ood of the hills. They In their
bigness. their calmness, their stabll i
ity remind us of Ood and It Is Ood
who Is our strength. Ood Is bigger
than man and his will will prevail
and his purposes will he accomplish
ea We look upon the hills and think
upon Ood and a feeling of peace ant
of confidence steals Into our souls
ahd we know that all things work
together for good to them who are
at one with Ood. Ood give us calmness
of soul and an abiding faith
In Thee. Thou Ood of the hills!?

or usually tolls whether- the wearer
is- vivdetous or stolid, glad or sad.balancod
or flighty. W" speak of
good taste in- dress. Some people
seem to inherit the ability to .select
clothing that will make tIn ni- look
their best; others wear their clothes
seemingly as a concession to
civilization with no regard for beaii
ty or fitness.
Clothes are on the surface. What
a truism! Yet they tell our friends
more than we realize. Soiled, impressed
clothing suggest that the
wearer lacks a sense of orderliness
is a bit iareless iit his thinking as
well as in his clothes. We do.know
of a genius here and there whose
dreJts would refute this statement.
But who of us is a genius?
Uniforms reveal the soldier. hfs
rank and his regiment. Pastors wear
clerical clothing, revealing their prp
fession. A party dress tells the
world there is to be a party, while
a suit of overalls advertises work

UNLUCKY THIRTEEN?
Those who thinn the number IS
unluck-y should take a look at the
National Arms of the United States
Above the head of the eagle are 13
stars, each' wing has 13 feathers.
The olive branch has 13 leaves, and
there are 13-arrows on the .crest. On
the scroll carried by the eagle is
the famous motto. E. Pluribus
Unum, which contains 13 letters. On
the tii-eat Seal of the United Slates
Is engraved an unfinished pyramid
with 13 steps, the Mace of the
Jlouse of Representative consists of
13 ebony rods bound together, and
there are 13 bars or> the national
shield across the breast or the eagle
When the U. S. A. became a nation
there were 13 States. 13 represents
tives signed the Declaration of Inde
pendencc.13 stripes, of alternating
red and white were on the first Am'erican
flag, together with 13
stars. And 13 guns announced tho
fact to the world from the camp of

has 13 facts concerning the number

UNTO THE HILLS
Our way led us through the mountains
of North Carolina last week.
Often we had occasion to lift our
eyes unto the hills. It was good for
the soul. They were so steadfast and
sure. Clouds could cover the peaks
and the lightning could flash but af
ter the passing of the storm the
mountain would be seen washed by
the rain and glistening in the . sunshine.
Year after year and century
after century they stand unmoved
and uunlovable. They stand unchan ,
ged in a changing world. Ldttle men
happen on the scene for a brief
while and pass off hut the mountains
abide. The enduring, the unafraid
hills how calm they are! They
have looked down upon generation
after generation of men and are
r.ow looking down on us. "1 will lift ,
ur mine eyes unto the hills" and refuse
to become frightened at the little
doings of little men. These moun
tains make us think of God. From

if a place is neat an,d clean, they
will help to keep it that way.

grants their .wish by switching
their bodies. "Tim" and ' Sally",
being in reverse, cause havoc
at home and at the office,
which is almost devastated.
Chapter Six
Sally was learning a good deal
from Irene Clare and Marion Manning,
at the luncheon. Irene chatted
about the divine nightgowns
she had bought at Hattiee, which
Joel paid for through sheer fraud.
"He pays for them," Irene said.
"Hattie sends him a phoney bill,
and I pay the rest out of my
household account." Marion, It developed,
had another scheme. She
bought her scanties at Glnafogel's
bargain basement?at two dollars

"I don't understand," Sally aatd
in a heavy voice. "What does that
get you?'
Marion's eyebrows went up at
Sally's stupidity. "Eighteen dollars
profit per scanty!" ane said. "And
you'd be surprised how many I
can buy."
"Oh...But why don't you pick
bis pockets? It's easier."
"Listen to who's talking. Phil's
supposed to he a smart man...Can
I help it if I'm smarter?" Marlon
replied. And Irene went on to say
that Joel teas Just a big blubber.
And as for Tim. the Boy Athlete
...It went on for a while, until
(tally broke through her own unfortunate
disguise.
"Listen ... I've had enough of
this," she began angrily. "If you've
got so little regard for your husbands.
why don't you leave them?
You think they're stupid? Well, let
me tell you something . . . You,
Irene. You're not putting anything
over on Joel with that nightgown
business. And how do you think
you look when you put your cold
feet upon his back?"
"Cold feet?" .
"Yes. cold feet...and he comes
meaning to me that his lumbago is
killing him. As for Marion, complaining
about Phil not giving you
any attention. If you'd stop going
o bed with your chin strap and
-old cream and curlers, he might
ake a little Interest in you!"
The girls were mad now. Marion

she said, "I don't know

he atormed. "I never want to talk
to you attain." They began to walk
cut, until Marion suddenly stopped.
"Walt a minute." he said carefully.
'When did my husband tell
you what I look like when I go
to bed?" And Irene got the same
Idea. "Tea, and Just when have
you and Joel had conversation
about my cold feet on his back? I
and his lumbago?" she demanded.
When they left, they were shouting
threats, and Sally was still
stammering uselessly. It all got

"Now, now darling.. .don't cry. I

must have been a terrible experience
to'catch all the Jangling and
arguing that went on in this
room. But now we've learned our
lesson. We aren't going to fight

"Really we won't," Tim said
nervously. "Never again."

"I'll be grateful as long as Z

"AH right, then...but don't forget,"

There was a -flash, and a great
puff of smoke.
"Sally..." Tim smiled. They embraced,
both beaming with joy.
"Oh, darling, I'm so happy," Sally
laughed. "Come on, now. We've
got to get dressed for dinner, This
is an occasion!"
The Willows had an Important
dinner party that night. They invited
the Mannings and the Clares,
and there was a good deal of

secrets that Sally and Tim had
learned were toased across the
room, to the men, and back.
It was a Revelation, with sound.
But it all cleared when Sally
came In with Mr. Julian Marlowe.
Mr. .Marlowe, It aeemed, felt that
Tim'* nervousness at lunch was
due to the news that he was
about to become a father. Mr. .
Marlowe was so happy that he announced
the return or his account
to Will owe. Manning and Clare.
Sally and Tim were grateful for
all good things, so they went into
the bedroom, to Mr. Ram. "You've
made us the happiest people on
earth!" said Sally.
"It's nice of you to say that."
Mr. Ram replied, "but look ? I've
made a terrible mistake. I forgot
something," He leaned down to
whisper a word to Tim.
And Tim rushed out of the room
with an agonising groan. Sallv followed,
laughing at the top of her
lungs. - >
"I Just found out," she announced
