SHUN THE WILDERNESS
RECLUSE RUINS HIS LIFE AND
ONLY AMUSES THE WORLD
Men and Women With Grievances
Might Just as Well Make Up Their
Minds to Forget Them and Be
Happy.

Every little while the newspapers
publish an account OF the death OF
some recluSe who has died as he has
lived, uncared for and alone. Disgust
at the worlds treatment of him or of
some individuals treatment is inVaria-
Oily given as the reason for his hermit
life a friend disappointed him, an
enemy got the better OF him or love
failed him, so he hied him to the will
dernesS, built a cabin and nursed his
hatred. 1t would be interesting 10
know whether on his deathbed, look
ing back over the lonely years, the
recluse has ever repented his folly and
yearned for a chance to go back into
the world and take his place among
his fellow men. Certainly there can be
little satisfaction in contemplating a
life that has been devoted to nursing
foolish Self-ioVe, and since in the
hour OF death one must have some
moments of clear vision, it is possible
that most recluSeS die convinced that
instead of having gotten even with the
world for its treatment of them they
have merely permitted it to rob them
again. Vanity is the biggest part of
the recluse and it is also the biggest
part OF the grumbler, the cynic, the
cold water thrower, the Pathfinder
and all the other varieties of the
great army of the disappointed. The
OtICl Sy lH6g might 6NpenQ on work
ing to forget their grievances, they
waste in trying to keep the grievances
constantly before their fellow men who
are frequently amused by, but never
really interested in, those oft-told tales
OF the worlds perfidy. People with
grievances are invariably bores and it
Is pity somebody does not invent a
looking glass that will permit them to
see themselves as the world sees
them. Perhaps, after all, the refuses
loss is the worlds gain, for when he
takes himself and his troubles off to the
wilderness his friends and his neigh
bors are relieved of the bother of eX-

the fact that he cuts off his nose to
spite his face. 1t is only with the en-
FILTERED individual that the wilderness
IS popular in these days Even the
prophets avoid it, for they realize
that their mission in life is not so
much to save their souls as to gain
the whole world, or the souls of the
world But the would-be recIuse does
not have to become prophet or a
missionary in order to get all thought

he has to do is to strive to forget him

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1S.-

gress of the National Society of the
Daughters of the American RevoIu-

1000 delegates, alternates and visitors
IN attendance. The sessions will con-
tinue throughout the week. Mrs.
Charles w. Fairbanks presided.
After prayer, led by the chaplain
general, and the singing of 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner" Mrs. Fairbanks de-
livered her address of welcome, in
which she pictured the work of the
society, recOunted the progress of the
memorial hall project and the plans
for the dedication of the hall at this
meeting. Mrs. Maria Purdy Peck, of
iowa, in responding, referred to pioneer
achievements in the West and the i'm
pOrtance of the Louisiana Purchase
and the Lewis and Clark expedition,
and regretted that no monument had
ever been reared to the memory of

dependence The credentials commit
tee reported 40, 206 members, 687 chap
tiers, thirty national officers and 273
delegates.
The afternoon session was devoted
to consideration Of amendments. Two
Of these provoked considerable discus
sion. The first, proposed by Mrs.
Caroline E. McWil!iams, of Illinois,
provided that a vice president at large
to represent the army and navy may be
nominated at each congress by the ma
jority of delegates from any one state
not presenting candidate. The other,
offered by Caroline r. Nash, as an
amendment to the McWilliams amend
ment, provided that such nominee must
be the wife or daughter of an officer
of the army or navy, the two services
alternating at each election. One del
egate characterized this as vicious
class legislation. Both amendments
were lost.

lace cuffs.
This jacket would be an excellent
model for a separate coat of black
silk, in which case it might be trimmed
with black lace over black, or black
lace over white or a novelty black and
white lace. 1t might also be made
of white cloth or silk and worn with
thin light cOlored summer frOcks.
The hat shown in the Illustration is
of bluet straw, trimmed with shaded
blue wings just tipped with bright
green. 1t is a very smart model.
This bluet shade of blue is being
greatly used this season, and is par
ticularly pretty in pongee. It is an
excellent color for gown which IS
intended to be worn to town on a flying
all day shopping trip during the sum-
mer months, for it is bright enough to
look dressy and yet is sufficiently dark
not to show dust. The gown illustrated
is a good model for this purpose, and
one that would look well made in al
most any material and in all colors.
