The one thing you have to do, says
Ruskin. sis TO make a clear-voiced little
instrument of yourself, which other peo-
pie can depend upon entirely for the note
wanted"
How far many of US have swung away
from this simple standard OF living in
these days OF much complexity and hur-
rying to and fro. How few can really
say that they express IN their lives some
one thing. that some strong trait of indi-
viduality stands out head and shoulders
above everything else In their charae-
teri
Most of US rush about, hurrying
through our daily work, giving much at
tention. and some worry. to the matter
of clothes, seeing new plays. inviting
friends to cards and teas; but In all these
matters, for any one thing in which we
differ from our neighbor. Miss Smith
might Just as we'll be Miss Jones, Mrs.
Black be Mrs. Brown. Few cultivate any
one note that is OF use 20 the world.
But If a girl wants to be a force in
her realm she should stand for some
one thing. She should, as Ruskin says,
make a clear-voiced little instrument
of herself that win always sound truly
some one note OF melody to sweeten the
worlds discord. It may be sincerity.
1t may be dependableness. It may
be kindness. There are scores of
notes that need 10 be sounded clearly
and insistently Each girl has some one
that best expresses herself. Let her find
il, and let the world know that it can. as
Ruskin says. depend upon her entirely

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW.

We viii never be able 10 understand
the leaning toward suicide on the part Of
men and women who have q great deal
for which TO be grateful. There must
be something wrong with the training OF
a young person who cannot bear a dis
appointment or accept a hardship. for
life is not a rose path for anybody II
speaks III for the mental equipment OF
older persons when life has lost its inter-
est without the aid Of grinding poverty
and physical pain.
The heiress OF a large fortune is being
extolled for her modesty and sweetness,
which is unusual to the world in which
she passes her life. In reality the praise
belongs TO the man who insisted upon
her being brought up IN simple fashion
and in ignorance of her financial condi-
ton. There need be no fear OF such a
healthy-minded creature wearying Of
llfe-it has too much TO interest and
charm her. She has not exhausted its
possibilities before being prepared TO
meet its many phases.
Boredom is not an affectation OF youth.
1t Is a reality Boys and girls are brought
up TO late hours. to social functions.
only a degree less pretentious than those
in which parents participate. They go
20 unsuitable plays, read unwholesome
books, and find no pleasant surprises in
life as they advance in years. The un-
pleasant ones leaves them impatient and
rebellious.
Old-fashioned parents hold a restrain
ing hand upon childhood and put off
close acquaintance with actual life as
long as possible. The children are nat
ural and wholesome and pleased with all
that comes 10 them Waiting sharpens
their interest in the future, and as long
as that remains there is nothing 10 fear
in the line of suicide.
I have always been sorry for the
woman who needs 20 he perpetuaIly
amused. She must have black and bitter
thoughts in stormy weather and on sick
days. We get both. you know, and the
resoureefuI woman turns the former to
account In sewing or reading or writing.
and accepts the latter IN the spirit of
enforced rest. and gets what consola-
ton she may from sleep and the SYM
pathy and affection Of friends and fam
ily. Look at it rightly, and the world
IS q good old place to be in, after all.

Whenever people talked 1t over they
Invariably ended by saying 1t was
perfect shame that Natalie Baker was
throwing herself away on Tom Arnold.
1t was not that they had anything
definite against Tom. The objection
was more against what he wasn't than
what he was. He just wasn't much of
anything He was "a and had clerk

might achieve $3.50 month in ten
years or 80 and then might stick there
for the rest Of his life. Not that the
measure Of man Is his income. but 1t
Is the measure Of his position In the
world and Natalie was the kind Of girl
who would be wasted in obscurity.
Natalie was 30 extraordinarily and
commandingly pretty and SO generally
fascinating that 1t was irritating to the
community at large that she was not
to be carried away in golden chariot,
or rather in a limousine with the

"Tm glad you have so much spirit"
said Mrs. Flecker, while she inwardly
thanked her stars that Irving Law

"Telephone your house that you are

Irving Lawrence was exactly the sort
of young man Mrs. Flecker would have
picked out for Natalie. He was hand,
some and clever and prosperous and
nobody knew where he would stop now
that he had begun to climb in busi
ness. Natalie found him decidedly
agreeable. He certainly was contrast
to Tom, especially now that she was
provoked at the latter.
