In the burning heat Of the noontidA
And the fancy made me strong
Yes, somewhere the wind is blowing,
Though here where gasp and sigh
Nota breath of air is stirring,
Not cloud in the burning sky.
Somewhere the thing we long for
Exists on earth's wide bound,
Somewhere the sun is shining
When winter nips the ground,
Somewhere the flowers are springir0,
Somewhere the corn is brown
And ready unto the harvest
To feed the hungry town.
somewhere the twilight gatherA
And weary men lay by
The burden OF the daytime
And, wrapped in slumber. lie;
somewhere the day is breaking,
And gloom and darkness flee,
Though storms our bark are tossing,
There's somewhere placid sea.
And thus, thought, tits always,
In this mysterious life,
There's always gladness somewhere
In spite OF its pain and strife,
And somewhere the sin and sorrow
or earth are known no more,
Somewhere our weary spirits
Shall find a peaceful shore.
Somewhere the things that try us
Shall all have passed away
And doubt and fear no longer
Impede the perfect day.
oh, brother, though the darkness
Around thy soul be cast,
The earth is rolling sunward,
And light shall come at last!

woman's Pursuit of Man.

New York Sun.
To please men is one thing and to be
pleasing to men entirely another. Tt is q
good deal easier to please the average man
than it is to be pleasing to him. Women used
to make the mistake of trying to please
men: now it is the fashion to make oneself
pleasing to them. Our grandmothers and
even our mothers have wasted no end of
time in thinking how they could best please
the men of their acquaintance when they
met. They went at it by thinking, saying,
doing, wanting and even wearing the things
that men liked best. 1t is not so with the
girl of to-day. One of her primary objects
in life is not to please men, but to make
herself pleasing to them. She has learned
that the man to whom she has made herself
pleasing does not forget her as soon as she
separates herself from him; that he wants
to study her, to know her better. Above
all, he wants to do something for her.
1.-The minute Il man wants to do some
thing for you, my DEAR, said an expert
enced matron to young woman, you may
be sure that you arc pleasing to him.
On this point this matron ought to be
we'll informed for she is pleasing to man
and to woman, too. The girl was typical
young woman of the period, independent,
impulsive and also interpretive.
Now when a man wants to do any little
thing for you," the matron went on, "let
him do it, even if he is as old as Metnuselah,
and pretend that it is the very thing you
want him TO do, that nobody else could
have done it half so well, and that life
would not be worth living il he had not done
that very thing for you. Nine young women
out of ten nowadays, when man offers to
do some tritiing service for them, protest

she can never make herself eternally pleas

do not want to do, or, rather when they do
a thing it is solely because they want to do
it, and it provokes them beyond polite ex-
preston to have a woman show that she
had rather do things for herself. Every
woman loves to be pleasing to men, and the
woman who makes the greatest success
along this line is she who always under all
circumstances, allows men to do things fol
her. Every woman should see to it that she
brushes down and chokes out the impulse
in her to protest.
Philosophers tell us that that which helps
or hinders fellowship makes the good and
bad of manners. Protesting on the part of
women certainly hinders fellowship between
them and men. Perhaps it is putting it too
strongly to say that these protestations are
bad manners but it is surely bad policy to
refuse to allow men to serve you. Try the
advice of a woman of the world and do not
protest if you would make yourself pleasing
to the sex that can never rid itself of the
idea that we owe our being to an express
sion of it's generosity, that If man had not
granted a spare rib that he had about him
we never would have been at all. BY all
means let every man living do every little
thing on earth for you that he wants to do.
You'll find that you get a great deal more
out of life, that you will afford him UNI
limited opportunities to pat himself on the
back, and that you will not only make your
self pleasing to him, but that you will make
him pleased with himself, which is the
scientific basis of success in society"

must be few women who read other
things. Some time ago, in the full flood of
nature study a number of the public school
teachers wrote to the CIerar library sug-
costing the purchase of certain works
which would be valuable to them in training
the young idea to shoot toward the animal
and vegetable Kingdoms. The directors
promptly ordered these boks but they stand
on the shelves unused. Where are the pub
lie school teachers? Have they abandoned
nature study? Have they bought the books
themselves, or do they consult some other
library? T. s a matter of fact, the Crerar
makes speciality of scientific and techni cal
publications. leaving the field of history and
of literature to others. The attendants have
even arranged one pleasant corner with all
the lighter kind of scientific books ready to
hand, from Gamers conversations with go
rillaS to accounts of the birds of Illinois.
But the women are not tempted by it. Will
you walk into my parlor? says the beneVo-
lent spider to the fly. No, the flies buzz
around the bargain counters in the big shop
below and will not even ascend the elevator
which has taken the place of the old-time
winding STAIR What an outcry would go up
If the library were open only to men. What
intolerance would the founder have shown
in assuming that the brain feminine did
not occupy itself with every subject of mas
culine thought. Such stand could not
have been taken in these emancipated DAYS
So the library doors swing freely for both
sexes, but only one passes through them.

One pretty feature of the feminine lun-
cheon IS the informality. with which each
clever dish is received and commented upon.
It's not bit out of the way to inquire
the name of any systerious connection which
may be served, to ask recipes, caterers adj
dresses, ETC.. or to say charming things
about the table.
The hostess is helped first. Don't over
look this little polite point. The old-fash-
out. This, it is whispered, became a neces-
sity. For in these days of wonderfully pre-
pared dishes the average guest wants to
look to her hostess to select exactly the
proper fork, to dip into the Wand at its
most vulnerable point.
Immediately at the close of meal guests
take their leave. It's not diseourteousl 1t
is rather the best courtesy-a good sensible
social regulation. For, every woman who
visits is likely to have more than one en-
gagement during the day, and the hostess
has like obligations to fill.

Harper 3 bdlaI.
A Boston lady of the most reserved and
exclusive type was waiting for her change
at the glove counter in one of the large
stores when she was approached by a very
large, gaudily dressed and loud-looking
woman, who held out a pudgy hand in u
bright green kid glove, and said:
why. how do you do, Mrs. Blank?"
Mrs. Blank ignored the proffered hand,
and. drawing herself up stiffiy, said frig-
idly:

no wise embarrassed by the coldness of her
reception; but I've knowed you by sight

Advice to AVE- students.

International Magazine.
To those young women who think that
they are sufficiently gifted to justify their
devoting themselves to art as their life
work 1 have, at the outset, piece of ad-
vice to offer:
First of all get rid of all illusions on the
subject"
The artists life is often regarded as a
dream of freedom and gayety. In the first
place, it means the student life in Munich
for the Isartown is to be recognized as the
capital of German art the seat of Apollo
and the MUSES.. In the neighborhood of
Munich the Alps raise their snow-capped
crests against the sky, and the thousands
of paths which lead to the mountains are
so many attractions to diversion. The
would-be student pictures to herself lovely
evenings on the blue Isar, rowing parties
on the Starenberger See; in short, 1t is like
a vision of the promised land, and, like all
other visions, does not materialize. Such
dreams are no nearer the reality than are
other dreams.
AS matter of fact, the life of the young
art student is one continual round of work
from early morn to dewy eve. One who
expects to devote herself with any degree
of success to art needs. besides the neces-
sary talent, earnest application logged per-
severance, good health, and, last but not
least, money There are, alas many stu
dents whose daily question is: How shall
1 ever be able to hold out to the end? And
even If / succeed, what is it all worth?"
For it is not to be for one moment supposed
that it IS an easy matter to find fitting en-
pigment when the student has become
full-fedged artist.
Because of such difficulties students often
have their times of depression during
which the beauties of the students life fade
like the dreams of childhood in the pres
ence of stern reality. The social and other
advantages offered by Munich, which adj
vantages are so great an attraction to the
neophyte are not for the art student. So
ciety and the natural beauty of the sur
rOundingS can be enjoyed but very spar
ingly, because the strength has to be hus-
banded for study.

when the Business woman Marries.

When the Business Woman Marries.
New York Evening Sun.
One good that must inevitably result from
the evolution of the business woman is not
so much to the advantage OF the woman
herself as to the business man. Such
woman has more respect for him, more re-
gard, more sympathy. She is altogether
less likely voluntarily to impose upon him
or involuntarily to harass and worry him.
She has been there, she knows how 1t Is
herself, and this personal experience and
knowledge make her more lenient and con-
siderate. Every woman wage Garner worthy
of the name learns, first, last and all the
time, that success is only attained by close
attention and single mindednesS. outside
of her work there must be nothing TO DIS
tract or perturb her, to interest OF even
divert her; unless, of course, she IS willing
to take the risk of failure The woman VINO
realizes all this must also reallze that the
same rule holds good OF the business man.
In a present capacity OF daughter ana Sis
ter. or in a future capacity as Wire. she IS
certain to show such keen consideration
for the business members of the household
as is undrearned of in the philosophy of the
Other kind OF woman. There Is no DANGER
of her husband being besought to just stop
on his way down town and attend some
specially seductive special sale or TO leave
his Office an hour or so earlier in order that
he may bring her home lot of samples.
She has had practical and personal PROOF
that it is through this sort of thing that
business interests are made to suffer, and
she doesn't propose to let TINS knowledge
play her false. A woman S appreciation of
business and business ways and means thus
insures domestic comfort If conditions war
rant it, it benefits the business man even
more than ii benefits the woman herself.
Q. +. d. All this, of course. If she be the
right sort of woman. And If she isn't, She
is of no account in any capacity, be It COM
mercial or domestic. But there is this to
be considered: the standard of business
women is constantly rising. and this fact
affects not only all women, but all men.
