WHEN I WAS
TWENTY-ONE
BY JOSEPH KAYE
At Twenty-One:—Marietta Holley,
Author of the Famous “Samantha’*
Books, Didn't Help Her Mother as
Much as She Should.
/i position in life was like that of
any other young girl in the pleasant
north country. I helped my mother
In the ordinary work of the household,
though not so much as I should have
done, for until one has the responsi-
bility of a home, one does not under-
stand the care and labor it means.
“I scribbled a good deal even then;
poetry—so-called—and essays on al-
most any subject, some, I believe, that
even Shakespeare and Milton would
have thought beyond a poet’s Tange.
I did a great deal, indeed everything
available that came my way. I
roamed over the literary hills and
Tales with the freedom and delight of
the country born.
“So much for my outward life. As
for my inner life, I dreamed the
gleaming, fanciful castles that young
girls exhibit both in city and country
—glittering castles that, it if needless
to say, were never built
“My ambitions at that time were
boundless; and so was my faith. I
was going to do some great work that
would revolutionize the world and
would set all the wrongs to right
Nothing is easier than for youth to
make over the world; nothing is
easier than for youth to look through
the golden haze that hangs about their
future and see a world transformed;
nothing is easier than for youth to
view the world's weaknesses and ail-
ings and stand serenely on a height—
a conqueror.
“▲las for the dream and ambitions
of youth! The long years pass and
things move on about the same. And
as the shadows lengthen in the west,
Instead of the high place and tbo
conqueror's dream, one must sit by
the common wayside and see the old
world go by in the same old way.—
Marietta Holley (“Josiah Allen's
Wife").
Marietta Holley is one of the last
surviving members of the old school
of writers who used to delight our
parents and grandparents. She is
the author of the celebrated “Saman-
tha" books—“Samantha Amongst the
Brethren," “Samantha at Saratoga,"
‘‘Samantha Among the Colored Polks,"
etc., and for an equally popular work
of that period. “Around the World
With Josiah Allen’s Wife." The last
•Samantha book was published In 1913.
•Samantha on Women’s Bights."
Miss Holley is a veteran in the
cause of women’s suffrage.

played with and spanked a child, has

DOG DAYS
rr\ HERE’LL come a time, it won’t be
T long,
When things begin to happen wrong:
When stockings start to disappear,
And other happenings as queer
Will make you wonder now and then
Where all your gloves are gone again.
You miss a certain underskirt,
And father’s shouting for a shirt.
Yes, time rolls on, the day it brings
They're big enough to wear your
things.
A father knows, If really wise,
The meaning then of family ties;
For time rolls on, the time It is
The family starts wearing his.
If now and then he misses one,
He’ll likely find It on his son;
And even daughters have beeen known
To wear the ties that fathers own.
Yes, overshoes or dinner rings,
They're big enough to wear your
things.
There comes a time when you declare
That Sonny’s old enough to wear
A dinner coat; and you decide
To fill him full of joy and pride
With yours. But, when you go to seek
The coat, you hunt about a week.
And wonder where that coat Is gone—
Then find that Sonny has It on.
They seldom wait till someone brings,
When big enough to wear your things
And yet in this you often find
A comfort of another kind:
For children old enough to wear
Your clothes are old enough to share
A little of your burden, too—
And how I hope your children do!
When sons put on a man’s attire,
When daughters wear a woman’?
geyer,
The man and woman that it brings
Are big enough to help with things.

uTk/fUZZLE that dog! The Idea of

Why do we call very hot days dog
days? To be sure, in the summer,
dogs are dangerous, and when people
were not compelled to be as careful
as they must be now to Incapacitate
them for doing harm, the hot daya
witnessed enough horrible accidents
to earn the appellation. But that
Isn't how It started.
The ancients, with their myths and
goddesses, were ardent devotees of
astronomy. The planets were popu-
larized, so that school children were
familiar not only with this symbol,
ism, but their physical changes.
"Dog days" was the name given by
the ancients to a period of about
forty days at the time of the rise of
Sirius, the planet called the Dog
Star. This happened to be at the hot-
test time of the year, the star rising
on July 1. On account of the changes
of procession of the Equinoxes, the
date has been brought down to about
July 23.
Regardless of Sirius, we call them
"dog days," if it is hot, and In cool
weather wo do not divert our attention
from the strenuous life to astronomical
problems. Yet the planet rises just
the same.

Genius is burning like everything with
millinery designers; they continue to
overflow with fine ideas for midsum-
mer. Perhaps the season inspires the
loveliest headwear or perhaps they en-
joy exercising talents that were more
or less suppressed last winter, during
the vogue of untrimmed and uninter-
esting hats.
Here are five hats which have come
Into bloom recently in the millinery
garden and have been chosen as rep-

clean without getting any further
than the washtub. In a grimy world
this homely friend of the family Is the
only answer. Here stylists come to
the rescue with clothes of all kinds
that can be washed and Ironed easily
and quickly; and It happens that these
very simply designed things look bet-
ter than any others on the youngsters.

A of a new cult, an offshoot of an
older denomination. In his interpre-
tations of the Scriptures he saw no
possible hope for any members of the
human family who refused to accept
his particular brand of religion, as
distinguished from all the other
brands.
Before an awe-struck congregation
at a camp meeting he was describing
what would come to pass with regard
to those stiff-necked and perverse non-
believers who were found outside his
own fold on the day of judgment.
“My brethren," he clarloned, “there
Is no middle course. By the word
of the Holy Writ I have proved to you
that mankind either must take the
true doctrine as it has been expounded
here or accept the awful consequences.
I can close my eyes and see the awful
picture right now.
“Over there in shining robes stand
the little group of the elect and the
saved. And down below In the fiery
pits of perdition- millions of the unre-
generate are roasting In the undying
fires through all eternity while the
minions of the devil heap hot coals
upon their heads and give them molten
lead when they beg for water to cool
their parched tongues. That, my
brethren, Is what will come to pass."

to midsummer. First there is the be-

an applique trimming of handmade

brim-edge is bound with silk in a
color and on both the upper and un-

roses are posed, with folded silk
stems. This is an exquisite hat. Next

with semi-facing of chiffon and a

impressive model. Beautiful handcraft
is the outstanding feature of the hat

It has a collar of folded velvet and
sands. Beach coats to be worn over
them when needed are made of gay
printed terry cloth, which does not
need to be ironed. They may be made
•of other printed cottons or of heavy,
unbleached domestic, with cut-out fig-

are sewed down with cotton floss, using
the buttonhole stitch.

Lesson for July 4
ISRAEL ENSLAVED IN EGYPT
LESSON TEXT—Exodus 1:1-14.
GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord will not
cast off His people.—Ps. 94:14.
PRIMARY TOPIC—A Wicked King
la Cruel to God’s People.
JUNIOR TOPIC—The Israelites Be-
come Slaves.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-
IC—Israel Oppressed by a Despotlo
King.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-
IC—Modern Forms of Oppression.
I. The Increase of the Chosen Seed
(vv. 1-7).
This miraculous increase seems
only to have begun after the death
of .Joseph and the passing of his gen-
eration. After this Israel quickly
grew Into a nation. This amazing In-
crease “Is expressed as is usual In
Hebrew by a climax of verbs: where
fruitful Is taken from the vegetable
world In which the increase varies
from the multiple to several hundred-
fold ; increased (spawned—swarmed)
is borrowed from the finny tribes In
which the rate of Increase rises to
many myriads; multiply is a general
word referring to number; and‘waxed
exceedingly mighty’ is a similar phrase
alluding to the strength which num-
bers confer, composed of verb and ad-
verb repeated and therefore well
adapted to complete the climax."—
Murphy. This Increase can only be
accounted for by admitting the hand
of the Almighty to be In It.
II. A New Dynasty Appears (vr.
8-10).
Joseph’s elevation as prime minister
in Egypt was during the reign of the
Hyksos kings. Being of Semitic ori-
gin, they were not hostile to the He-
brews,* but when "there arose up a
new king which knew not Joseph" (v.
8) their troubles began. This affords
a striking illustration of God’s provi-
dence in history. His purposes in-
clude the means to carry them out.
The amazing growth of the Israelites
excited the envy and fear of the king
(vv. 9-10). Fear was twofold—
1. In case of war they might Join
the enemy and fight against them:
2. Lest they should remove from the
land, thus cutting off a vital source of
revenue and also exposing to danger
the eastern border of the land-
III. Measures to Check the Growth
of Israel (vv. 11-22).
These measures with their outcome
expose the folly of world wisdom (I
Cor. 3:19). If they
eliminated God from
men their policy
a good one, but it proved
gether vanity. Hie
a man can ever make is to leave God
%Ali of his calculations. God had prom-
ised that His people should become
mighty in power as well as great in
numbers.
1. Placed under cruel taskmaster*
(w: 11-14).
The first measure he adopted was
to put Israel into cruel bondage by
afflicting them with heavy burden*.
Cruel taskmasters were placed over
them, who forced them to labor la
building treasure cities and ali man*
ner of service in the field. They ex*
acted of them hard service, but this
measure was Ineffectual for "the more
they afflicted them the more they mul-
tiplied and grew.** This rapid growth
resulted in more intense burdens be-
ing heaped upon them. The Egyptians
meant this for evil to the Israelites,
but God blessed it to their good. It
was part of His plan for them (Gen.
15:13, 14). Indeed, the righteous may
expect such treatment of the world
(H Tim. 1:12; Heb. 12:8). Prosper-
ity and adversity constitute God’s
teaching and discipline. While their
burdens were heavy and their suf-
ferings very Intense, they had the
consolation that it would not last for-*
ever. The presence of Joseph's dead
body was a guaranty that they would
one day be delivered. Though th*
Christian’s burden may be heavy and
his sufferings keen, he has the guar-
anty that they shall not last always^
