From this public meeting the adj
miral and his officers were conducted
to a neighboring hall, where an elab-

By the courtesy of Hon. Lloyd Bris-
Gem, the American minister, I had an
audience with the emperor, these audi

the stand. After a moments delay a
priest clad in his official robes APP

tray, and, kneeling, placed them before
the admiral. Tea was then brought in
a Iong-handled pot and poured into the
cup. After the distinguished guest had
partaken of these refreshments, the
mayor arose and read an address OF
welcome. AS he has the reputation of
being one of the best orators of the en-

manuscript, I could not judge of his
delivery. but his voice was pleasant
and his manner natural. The address
recited the exploits of Admiral Togo

the people. At its conclusion the hero

The caller, on reaching the threshold,

he then proceeds and bows third time

in this description, and yet there are
women of the Jellyby type in the
world. Their missionary effort is not
practical, nor sensible. They intrude
into homes where they are not wanted,
and ask impairment questions of the
poor, and bestow aims where almsgiv-
ing is 5uperf1uous, Very likely all the
time they are neglecting home duties.
Doe We next thyng," is a good motto
for most of us. The Jellyby children
were falling downstairs and crying for
bread. their father and their eldest
sister were at their wits end, while
Mrs. Jellyby remained absorbed in her
several schemes of benevolence.
She was a person who had no sense
Of proportion.
Helen, who used to be my neighbor,
so .worshipped truth-telling that it was
versation If she were in the company.
She utterly refused to be accurate or
definite about anything lest by chance
she should say what was not literally
true You could never bring her to a
positive statement. She always hedged
with II think, - ''I fancy or 1T is my
impression And more times than l
can tell you she came back after a
call to correct what she feared might
have been too highly colored. Having
no Imagination herself, she could not
make allowances for it in her friends.
The worst of the matter was that
Helen's truth-telling laid burden not
on herself alone, but on the rest of us.
If anyone related an incident in her
hearing and varied the telling in some
trifing detail Helen was on the alert
to set the narrator right and rectify
the mistake. 1t was maddening to have
her rush in when you mentioned that
you had gone TO town on Friday al
noon. with the correction, ut was II

truth, girls, according to the highest
standards of ethics, and we must never
deliberately stain our souls with false
hood, but a martinez like Helen mis-
takes the husk for the kernel and Is
likely to be persona non grata in So
ciety to the end of her days.
Equally unfortunate is Marcia, who
is so resolved on saying nothing IN
kind about anybody that she at times
preserves a silence which can be easily
misunderstood, and which is much
more hurtful to her neighbors than al
occasional criticism would be. Our
temperaments are diverse Some o.
us are impulsive. emotional and impet

I hone YOU won't be frightened or
fancy that it isn't of Importance to
school girls when I ask you to talk
with me about a sense of proportion
Very few of us have just that right
idea Of the real value of things that
makes us keep our lives we'll balanced.
Most of us run to extrtmes. For in
stance, there is Annie who feels that
nothing is so needful as to be always
tidy and well dressed; from her head
to her feat Annie is 50 trim and shin
ing that 1t is a positive delight to look
at her. She boasts that she never
wears the same white shirt waist two
days in succession, that her frocks and
her petticoats are always fresh from
the laundry, and that she never has so
much as a hair ribbon out of place.
I hold rather rigid views about neat
ness myself, and I think it ineXCuSdble
in g. girl to have boots run down at
the heels and lacking buttons. or to
wear gloves that should be mended;
but whom I remember that Annie S
mother keeps only one maid. and that
her father is clerk on a small salary,
and there are four other children in
the family, I am, driven to the conclu-
sion that the number of shirt waists

of extreme selfishness. She purchases
her immaculate appearance at too
great a cost, since she is far too busy
with high school work TO do her own
washing and ironing. When a girl ,ex-
ats one good quality at the expense
Of others, and gratifieE her taste
through the self-denial of a hard
worked mother, she shows very plain
ly that she has no sense of proportion.
I could tell you Of women, not school
girls, who, having failed to secure a
true feeling for harmony when they
were young. have made life burden
for everybody belonging to them ever
since they grew up. They have made
a fetish of system; having determined
to have breakfast at a fixed hour, they
have been Wretched themselves and
made everybody else so, if a single
person in the family came down a few
minutes after the clock had struck Z
or s, as the case might be. Their
homework had to be done on certain
DAYS, at any cost. There was no free
dom or elasticity in their regime: they
lacked a sense of proportion. System

made master ii becomes the worst of
tyrants. / want you to do your work
