little boy .-and since that same ten-
ant ,vas expecting a call from the

feel .tat she should leave the house
for very long especially as the
weather got very cold.
So now we are alone again—
with the carcass - of the chicken to

on the news, And speaking of news
I ant sore everyone was glad the
Covivunist attack in Korea tha t
was expected at the full of moon did
taut materialize. But even at that
there is plenty of news. Imagine
the Coronation Stone being stolen!
Nothing in the British Isles is more
steeped in historical tradition than
that .arae stone. And British people
don't like any disrespect shown to
their traditions. After all England
wouldn't be England without its
traditions.
It is said the Coronation Stone
was need by Jacob for a pillow.
The same night that he used it
Jam': had a vision in which God
made a con venant with him. Then
Jacoo made an altar of the Stone
to worship God. Twenty-one years
later he took the Stone with hint
down to Egypt and when he died
conunitted it to Joseph's keeping.
The Stone remained in the custody
of the Israelites during their won-
deriugs until the time of Jeremiah,
About 580 B.C. Jeremiah gave itis
consent to the marriage of his
grand -daughter Tea Tepid to the
King of Ireland providing the King
would give up idols and establish
"schools of the prophets" in the
North of Ireland, This was done,
the two were married, and the Stone
of Israel placed in the Royal Pal-
ace ant' the two crotched upon it.
When the King of Ireland captured
Scotland he set up his kingdom
there and the Stone of Destiny was
also taken there. Later it was trans-
ferred to London where it Itas re-
mained for over 600 years. This
Stone has two iron links at either
end of it, almost worn through
because, according to tradition, it
was carried by the children of Israel
through the wilderness, and on its
Fong journee• to the British Isles.
In conaltoration of this tradition it
is said that on an island not far
front Ulster there is a cemetery
where the tomb of Jeremiah can be
cern, ,also that of Zedelciah's daugh-
ter, 'die Princess '.i'ea Tephi. \tarry
think this is proof positive that the
ten tribes of Israel actually reached
the British Isles.
Now I wonder ---,till that start an

UNDAY SCIIOOL
LESSON

A Day of Activity
Mark 1:21,2?, 29-35
Memory Selection: And Jesus went
about all the cities and villages,
teaching in their synogogues, and
preaching- the gospel of the king-
dom, and healing every sickness
and every disease among the people.
—Mata. 9:35,
Jesus lived a busy life. He was
a❑ unusual teacher. The people
"were astonislhed at his doctrine:
for he taught theta as one that had
authority and not as the scribes."
The 1 reacher to -clay whose message
has the ring of authority is the one

Beauty Aids , Are
An Ancient Story
Fashiouabie Greek and Roman
ladies treed elaborate aisles to beauty.
They began lite day by having
their hair oiled up in diadems as
high as towers, If the hair was
titin they used artificial tresses
dyed blonde with goat's fat and
beech ash, or perhaps blacic hair 1111 -
ported from India, Arms and brows
were painted with chalk and white
lead, cheeks and lips with ochre or
wine lees, eyebrows and round the
eyes with powdered antimony, Then
they were loaded with jewels, trin-
kets, bracelets, earrings and pen-
dants.
Nothing like it was seen again
until the eighteenth century in
France, when Madame Pompadour
set what one critic called "the
stupid habit of rouging." ladies
laid on the rouge so thick that
it was hard to tell ane from another.
"They not only obliterated their
faces," says the critic, "but quenched
every feeling of desire in nett, whose
one wish was to flee from then."
French stonlen have always
specialized in the arts of feminine
seduction, and they have never
been afraid to go to extremes. In
the last century, famous cocottes
in Paris dyed their hair bright red,
rouged their cheeks and attached
Ion gartificial lashes to their eyelids.
Midway between theta anti the
ladies of society was a strange
class of super -vamp known as the
demi-castors, who dressed like
princesses, changed their lovers as
often as they changed their clothes,
and helped the young dandies squan-
der their fortunes, It 'teas the co-
cottes and the demi-castors who
made Paris the world's fashion
centre. They dressed at Worth's,
drove in elegant carriages and, ex-
cept in private, behaved with the
hauteur of duchesses. The more
then they ruined, the more they
were in demand!
They were past mistresses in
the Beauty Stakes: but, in England,
powder, rouge, lipstick and eye-
brow pencil were until quite re-
cently used only by courtesans. It
was considered unbecoming for a
respectable woman to touch-up her
face except in a very unobtrusive
may, and the feminine fashions
in Edwardian days reached the low-
est depths of ugliness. It was not
until 1912 that the fashion for
make-up found hs way here from
America. By the end of the first
World War it had spread through
every class.
Today, beauty and chic are so
within erery girl's reach that we're
inclined to forget that for thou-
sands of years they were only for
the very rich. Suddenly everything
which the grand lady wore could
be had by the millions --at least,
in incitation. The factories began
10 pour taut cheap substitutes for
fur, sill:, leather, velvet, nrecioue
stones. livery girl became beauty
conscious, tord vast industries
sprang up in rosntetes, beauty pre•
nitrations and hair dressing.
Feminine glatnottr began to than.
thtclured on a east scale, inspired
by the stage and films, autl helped
by the illustrated journals. Soon
it was seized upon by industry to
help the sale of everything from
toothpaste to holiday trips. In
America, eyrelns tools the place of
recruiting sergeants; and .'tiny
Semple utplc 3f.cci h<rsmt eve!' used
choirs of ".Angels" to dray people
to religious meetings, If our grand-
fathers could see what is happening'
now they would be astounded.
What of the future? if we are
heading towards a Welfare State,
isn't it likely that our rulers will
eventually bring feminine beauty
under State Control? Perhaps- we
shall live to see some select com-
mittee of enperts work out the de-
tails of an Optimum \Vomit or
Approved Female. Admirably de•
reluped for bearing children and
fulfilling her duties as Grade A in
the Whitehall beauty tests, she will
look down on us from the hoardings
a trifle coldly. Women will be ex-
horted to imitate her; and men will
be urged to seek a mate 'who is
willing to model herself on these
approved lines.
But perhaps before that happens,
the Devil trill have asked Allah
for a new trap to catch human
game!

friend and was told at tlfel door:
