The Maiden's Heart
 That Was Crushed

Translated from the German by Miss
 Bertha H. Gelders.)
 Two people had grown very fond of one another and gave each other their hearts, The exchanged hearts beat on gaily and were satisfied for long while. At last the youth changed his mind and got his heart back, but he forgot to return the other and departed happily. carrying both hearts with him into the wide world. But she whose heart he had taken along remained at home and knew not what allied her, so cold, so empty and dreary was the spot where formerly her warm heart had throb- bed. There was no more joy for her, for she possessed no longer heart.
 The happy youth, in the meanwhile, trav- eled about with both hearts and his own beat as lively as ever
 The other he had pushed into corner and had forgotten it. But once, when he was just about to exchange his heart again for another, there was a gentle sound to be heard. and the forgotten heart fell by the wayside. He paid no attention to 1t, neither did he pick 1t up to see if it had become injured, but went his way unconcernedy There the poor heart was lying on the cold stones, but it was not broken, for hearts are made of hrmer material than we sup pose; only piece had been crushed out right from the centeri
 Accidentally, she to whom this poor heart belonged came along, and when she found her old heart she was glad enough and put it back into it's old place.
 Then for the first time in years she saw again that the trees were green, and she again heard the birds sing and felt once more the warmth of the sun.
 But one day when she examined her heart closely, she noticed that little piece was missing; then she tried her best to mend it, and to glue 1t, but 1t was all in vain. Nothing remained to her but to use the injured heart as it was, for really she had reason to be glad to have found 1t again at all.
 But she never cared to exchange it any more-and who do you suppose would have cared for a heart that was crushed?

What Envy and Malice
 Prompts Women To Do

An irate woman, who has evidently un- earthed scheme or project which meant serious consequences to some innocent wo- man, asks space in this department for the following expression of her righteous in- dignation
 With the present advancement of wo- men, the opening of new fields of thought of action and of endeavor, there has arisen a species of femininity from which the rest of the human race should be protected by legal statutes This species seem to be con- sumed with a greed for personal promi- hence, and being incapacitated to go to the front, because of mental deficiencies and intellectual weaknesses, they resort to all forms of contemptible pettiness, born of malignant envy, to further their advance ment and to destroy the women they con- sider their rivals.
 With malevolence, bitter. but small dn accord with the size of their brain de- velopment-they use every means short of moral murder to injure and prejudice. The blows of these members of social Mafia are always dealt in the back of an oppo- nent and under the cover of a darkness as black their own souls.
 T once thought that ambition was an in- dication of mentality, in more or less degree, but have changed my mind after seeing how some otherwise vacuous heads are filled with ambitious cravings. Now am convinced that aspirations and ambi- tions are frequently only characteristics or attributes and indicate neither large brains or lofty instinct. In the wild desire for social and intellectual preferment these ambitious struggles on the suburbs of progress are usually unmasked and un- covered, and their poisoned stilettos are found lurking up their sleeves In the end they only bring disrepute upon themselves by their unworthy tricks, which are used Ito accomplish their envious purposes, and the world enjoys their discontinue, which comes from chagrin incident to discovery. This new form of femninity has been de- veloped by the aspirations of all grades and classes of women-intellectual and idiotic- l am aware, but can't you say something on the subject?"
 There seems to be nothing left of that infnitessimal species of womanhood de- scribed by my correspondent. She has said all any one would, could should desire to say of that class of femininity which can only hope to go forward over-figur- atively-tne comatose bodies of stronger and more conscientious women. There is nothing more to be said of such intellectual pigmies.
