Among the most aggravating things
to deal with in life is the talented or
smart woman who has very little COM
mon sense.
There is the young girl, in dire need
of money, but with a clever talent Tor

independent. A friend, after INFINITE
trouble, gets her an order from lead

might have been the beginning or an
artistic career and would have kept the
wolf from the door at the start, but
the young woman turns up her nose
at the very suggestion.
There is the little dressmaker, with
the fingers of an artist, struggling
along, unknown and unpatronized. A
good samaritan of woman induces a
society friend whose work alone means
fortune, to try her, but the sense
less dressmaker does not keep her first
engagement and loses her opportunity
There is the needy woman for whom
dozens of people have moved heaven

airs and discoursed so continually on
her past splendors and patronized be-

uncomfortable and lost her place.
Everybody has had experiences oil

impossible and hopeless and discourag-

world is to attempt to try to help these

"The Dedicated Life Is the latest-its
predecessors having been 1.-THE Simple
Life" and "the Strenuous Life" 1t is
commended by no less practical and un-
sentimental a mind than the of Mr.. Hal
dane, secretary of state for war In the
Campbell-Bannerman ministry. 1t makes
it's appearance in the address which he de-
livered recently as lord rector to the stu
dents Of the University Of Edinburgh. and
which was there pronounced by Mr.. Bal
four himself, a great discourse" Mr..
Haldane in this address answers the time
honored questions. What is life? What is
the measure of success?" by howing that
It is the dedication, the selecting Of an
ideal, the concentrating upon that. the
sticking to it, whether successful or I'M
successful-especially, indeed, IL unsuc-
cessful-that is the noblest use to which a
life can be put. The test Is net success
or failure, the reaching of some definite
point; It is the striving itself, or rather the
quality of the striving. the aiming In con-
tinually higher and higher reach towards
the ideal, the struggling instead of Weld
ing, that Is manhood's highest expression.
This is supported by Leasing, who de-
clared that were God to offer him the
truth on one hand and the search on the
other. he would choose the search. Rob-
ert Browning delivered powerfully, again
and again. this great message in some Of
his most characteristic poems.
