A RECIPE FOR UNHAPPINEss

A living death is life without incentive. The
woman who is purposeess has responsibility, is pro-
ducing nothing is merely feeding the physical Senses
missing the meaning of existence and FORGETTING the real
JOY of living.
The quickest and surest way of firing of the world is to
concentrate thought self Those who have nothing to
think of but self carry wearisome burden.
In the news columns daily read Of the disasters that
befal purposeess people. Every city every day has its
becomes so heavy men and women take their lives to
escape it.
To temporarily free their minds of the stress of ire
sponsiby others drink themselves into the gutter There
is deal of wretchedness from this cause.
The world is full of such number of things that
sure we should all be happy kings the poet sang and
very truly For one has only to look about with seeing
eyes to find things to do that worth while doing.
Evasion of responsibility is rank cowardice and makes
for empty life
A drama has just been introduced in New York which
illustrates the point this editorial intends It is remark
ably interesting play and is unusual for variety Of
the least of which is that it involves no sugges
tive problem nor contains any ascivious dance.
In the play rich old has been thinking exclusively
about self He thinks that he is i'll and calls counsel of
physicians He secretly overhears their wise talk, and
when they decide that he must die he prepares to commit
suicide. He is next in tenement in the sums of the
city whittier he has to hide his identity and blow out
his brains The pistol is at his temple when ragged girl
steps into the room and tells him her troubles She has
some very real troubles They troubles Of the heart
and mind She has been carrying too much responsibility,
but she strong for her burden She is not complaining
The old man begins to feel that his little physical troubles
are insignificant compared with the heart and mind
res of his found friend He lays the pistol down and
presently finds himself engaged in assisting the girl There
is splendid lot of detail in the play which of ends
with the girl happy and the old in excellent spirits
and health, and with plenty of life business hand.
If time weighs heavily upon you get busy! Adopt a
baby Go conservatvey into debt Interest yourself in
the struggle Of some fellow off than you Get
married Devise means Of effectng equitable
tariff. Invent simple low priced machine which will
take the killing labor of washing clothes from the Shout
ders of American housewives Discover new star. Find
for Scheme plan by which the graft dan
ger may be eliminated from municipal ownership of public
utilities. Discover substance which will prevent teeth
from decayng Write something which will make men
think less of selfish gain and of brotery love- These
suggestionsand the world is full of such number
of things that need not think long before discovering
agreeable hobby.
Do something and be happy.

She lived abroad until four years ago.
She came TO Washington and secured
a position in the bureau of American
