Did you ever find yourself pausing in
the midst of the fray and realizing for
the instant that your act, your emotion.
your thought. or your physical atti-
tude or bearing was identical with that
Of some one else? And isn't that
some one else generally, upon refiec-
tion, found 20 be one of your parents
either your father or your mother or else
some very near ancestor, maybe grand
father or grandmother or relative? A
man once remarked in relating an ex-
perience Of this kind: Il feel at times
so much Ike my father that 1 seem to
be involuntarily impersonaung him.
The sensation is very peculiar and there
are Irresistible spells of it which almost
overpower ones own personality"
Naturally traits of atavism have been
recognized in all ages and among all
classes and nations. We say a man is a
: good doctor or a fine lawyer because his
great-gran6father. grandfather or father
excelled in that profession. A woman is
a good cook or hOusekeeper because. her
mother was proficient In that line before
her. A young girl is beautiful or
young man staIwart and handsome be-
cause he or she inherits those physical
qualities. On the other hand, a man is a
ne'er-do-welI since he is the product Of
unsuccessful ancestry. The fiction write
in drawing a picture Of living men and
women brings before his reader for re-
cognition of certain characteristics the
ties OF blood and propinquity. He often
ventures back generations-to give a
clear understanding of the personality
he intends to portray. And so 1t goes.
Men and women are constantly being
judged and weighed and measured in the
light and balance and proportion of their
heredity. This allotment and gauging is
felt more forcibly in small communities
where neighbors and friends have COM
mon knowledge or information in con-
nection with everyday family conditions
and life than in the cities. In the cities
ones family record IS only made public
by being radically wrong or abnormally
fine. However. these traits which we
have inherited are felt and understood
by all men and women They are a part
Of US. be they desirable or repugnant.
The one great object in thinking along
this line and realizing these things IS 10
make us lenient toward others and TO
avoid q flippsnt regard of the tempta-
tions that beset the lives OF those
around us: to consider the real individ-
ual man or woman before us apart from
his or her predominating sins as they
appear to US; to realize that these gifts
end graces or these flaws, defects, and
hampering sins which are bestowed up
on one at birth are mere conditions
which might have devolved upon us as
well as our neighbor. Especially are
women given over TO drastic criticism
OF other women Some remarkably good
women. and many well-meaning ones,
too. are constantly battling with the pit
falls that they find along the path of
some woman acquaintance. Often the
same woman who would deal gently
and benevolently with all the great
questions of existence will unwittingly
resist all the good that may be found in
