What you ask and expect of peo ple, that approximately you get. Trust begets honrty and openness. Distrust ift a natural breeding ground for deceit and dishonesty. When I hear a woman complain ing of the dishonesty of her servants or the people with whom she deals, I always wonder much if part of It Is not caused by what she lets herself expect, and if the same servants or tradespeople would be dishonest with some one who expected honesty of them. A week ago. in the course of a Httle boat trip, I was anxious to buy some fruit at one of the ports where the ships topped a few minutes. The stopping time was limited by the amount of freight to be taken on, and although I would probably have had plenty of time to get the fruit, I did not quite dare risk being left be hind. An honest-looking boy was stand ing on the wharf watching the load ing. Taking out a dollar bill the only money I chanced to have I held it out to him and asked him if he thought he could get up to the store and bring me back some or anges before the boat sailed. He said he thought he could, and started off. My companion looked at me in as couch horror &s if th ks4 ta tse tfcrow ray most la to th wiut. "That's tha Ut you'll tee of itxl money," she &ald. "Do yoa thiak that boy's going to get bzzk here be fore the ship sH when It tneuxs bell be a dollar In If he doesn't?" Just as the gangplank vaj being drawn up b came rushing down the wharf. And happy as I was to get my change and my oranges and dis prove the lady's doubts. I was even happier to have my faith In human nature remain unshaken, "I wouldn't dare do it. all the same," said the distrustful lady as she shared my oranges. It wouldn't be safe for her to. "A woman." says Sentimental Tommy, "can be anything the man who loves her would have her be." In a lesser degree that is true of most of us In our relations to each other. We rise or sink, alas to the level of whatever people believe us capa ble of. People who knew Alice Freeman Palmer, the wonderful woman who rose from poverty to be President of Wellesley College when she was only twenty-six, say that one of her great est qualifications for her high posi tion was her marvelous ability to help people by making them realize she believed in them. "A great reason for her strange control of girls." gays one who knew her methods, "was, I think, that she always seized on some good point in a girl's character, empha sized that, and made the girl think; that she must bring the whole up to the level of this.

Willi ENGLISH FOH IIILMIEX. The Woman's Home Companion for September contains a strong arti clo urjring parens to use more care in teaching children to speak pure English. Following Is an extract: "One of the causes of bad English is the disrespect which children are permitted to feel for each other. The sacredness of personality Is not taught them, and they are allowed to badger each other, and to make each other ashamed of all distin guishing peculiarities. Disrespectful nicknames are permitted very dif ferent things these from the affec tionate little home names and con versation, Instead of being the medi um of friendliness between brothers and sisters, becomes as prickly as a Cherokee-rose hedge. "Undue familiarity between fellow students breeds the same disrespect and cheapness, and young folks who indulge In these insolent jocularities extend their impudence until It In cludes their fathers and mothers. To be sure, this impudence may be mix ed with affection.

He came along with bis command over a country road in Louisiana, The sun was hot and the road was dufty, and everything about hirn showed discouragement. His worn blanket was heavy and bis knapsack, never too full, seemed al most made of lead. His gun, too, was burdensome, and heaviest of ail was his own heart. He thought he might be cured of his discourage ment If only his mind might be di verted, and so going to the sido of the road to an old-fashioned worm rail fence, he selected a good sub stantial rail, and putting It on his shoulder walked along the road. His comrades laughed at him, asking if he were not already well enough loaded, but he went silently along for a hundred yards or more. As long as he had the rail, he could not think of anything else. Its weight and awkward shape combined to take his mind from all pressing dis tresses. By and by he threw It down and took up his march with fresh ttreextb a ran. Tbt u .. . .
