The other girls were silent. All o

of them had really listened. Lucille

came from the States; Adele admitted
to herself that she didn't know wheth-
er her mother ever had been a little
girl; Nora tried to remember the
name of the town in Ireland where
her mother had lived as a child. Every
girl was busy with her own thoughts
when the speaker continued:
"Mother loves to talk of the time
when she was a girl, and I love to
hear her. Several of my dolls are
called Hester because that was the
name of the only doll she ever had.

Human Thought.
Thinking was invented by Socrates,
whom Sir Francis Galton calls the
greatest genius in history, Before
Socrates, the head of man was very
largely a loafing place for hair. Now
it is a perfect hotbed of ideas, and the
blank look of a man who isn't thinking
of a thing is se rare that one almost
never sees it. Loose thinking, which
prevailed for centuries before Soc-
rates, was getting man nowhere, Soc-
rates saw that, and substituted fox' it
hard thinking, which may be said to
have done the business. Like every-
thing else new, thinking was regarded
with alarm, and Socrates was put to
death for it, Nevertheless, there were
men who liked it, and thought it was
a good thing. They kept on thinking,
and twenty-four hundred years after
Socrates first put two and two to-
gether we flnd ourselves• enjoying the
fruit of human thought to such an ex-
tent that men get rid of the hair on
their heacie as quickly as they can and
devote them exclusively to thought. If
there were hair restorers we wouldn't
use them. Heads are much too valu-
able for waste products,
