THE QUALITY OF LEADERSHIP.

Sir Ernest Shackleton, tho leader of the
"Farthest South" expedition, furnishes
good study In the qualities Of leadership.
Even IN hearing him lecture. though ne Is
very modest ms to what he did himself,
one can see the qualities that MADE the ex-
petition a success Singing through his
personality.
but" one will say, 1T do not expect to
head an expedition to discover the south
pole sInd so do not need the quantities or
leadership: and as for the north pole,
that has been over-discovered already.
But one needs the quality of leadership
in many places. The mistress OF the nome
needs It, IL she Is to manage her maids
most successfully. for together they form
a party for the conquest of dirt and dust,
for the proper preparation OF food, for ac-
complshing all the many other things es-
sential to a well-equipped home
The qualities of leadership are necessary
IN business if one has under him even so
few as two or three people. And one new
err knows when he will be promoted TO
position where he will have the manage
merlt and direction Of many. So IL Is well
TO cultivate the qualities that will make
Cor success.
What then are the qualities which this
intrepid conuueror of the southern wastes
Of snow and Ice showed?
He was quick to met an emergency, TO
devise ways on the instant to overcome
difficulties. The boat that was purchased
.or the expedition. when loaded. sank be-
! cow the line prescribed by law in England
for this class OF ships. He Immediately
converted her into yacht for which there
was no such law. One could see this in

that turned up.
No matter how long the party tramped
over trackless fields Of snow. how short
were the rations. how utterly discouraged

FINDING A GOOD WOMAN.

Sidney Lanier says, 1.-THE finding OF a
good woman depends largely upon the
kind Of man who is looking for her." And
a wise man of old says somewhat to the
effect that the price of good woman Is
above rubies. So Mat IL a man wants to
find this priceless jewel he needs first to
look to himself If he wishes to insure his
getting a fiawless gem.
Sidney Lanier is simply putting into an
other form the old old saying What we
look for, we find" The man whose ideal
Of woman is low will be satisfied with a
woman whose tastes and aspirations are
on plane with his own. If to him a
good woman" means a fashionably
dressed feminine, who delights In bridge,
the theater the social whirl generally,
that is the kind he will seek. If the term
Is synonymous to him with good house
keeper, frugal and economical soul, then
ne will endeavor to find this sort. On the
other hand. If good woman means all
that is true and tender and sympathetic,
Ill that is high and fine In her ideals, all
that Is companionable and inspiring ment.
ally, then this will be his quest.
Since then, what one finds comes back
after all to what one seeks, 1t behooves
enc to seek the best, II one wants the
greatest happiness. Why take the less Il

one can have the greater? Why seek that
which will satisfy only part Of ones ma
ture, II one can secure that which salts
fies and inspires as well? 1t is so of ev-
erything in life. One should plan largely
and nobly in aspiration for what, one de-

she will seize every opportunity to secure

1t is after all, the kind Of a man or

find in life. Life is full Of all good things

and exhausted Shackleton himself might
feel, he never let his men know this ex-
haustion and disbursement. He might
sympathize with theirs, but he himself
was. in their eyes. always UP to the mark,

What he could endure. they felt they

When long monotonous days In camp

No doubt he felt as little disposed to
mirth, as homesick as they. but his keen
eye took in the situation and he knew this
state Of mind must be broken UP. These
qualities and many more one could see as
he lectured, and one understood why the
men with him were so faithful and inde-
fatigable.
These same traits will make for success
in the management Of the home, In busi-
ness, as well as in discovering an elusive
pole. Simmered down, isn't 1t a matter OF
supreme devotion to the cause In hand and
utter unselfishness? The thing he was

THE GIRL WHO Is SHY.

Marjorie Gould, whose recent wedding
10 son of the Drexels was the social
event of the New York season. was char
acterized by one of her intimate friends as
"adorably shy" So the girl who IS shy
a.ed not think that she has tremendous
social handicap. A, certain degree of shy
ness is sometimes charm, especially in
these days when many young girls are too
forward and bold.
The. girl who is shy however. Is apt
to see no charm in it. She looks upon 1t
as a defect and wants to know how TO
cure 1t.
To begin with, the girl who is shy wants
TO do all she can to forget it. She wants
to cease looking forward to parties with
dread because she can think of nothing
to say or with envy Of other girls because
they have plenty to say. She should think
of the reverse side OF The picture-that
she is going to have good time.
Then, let her talk of the little common
place things Of everyday life. The girl
who is shy often is so because she thinks
she must be bright, witty, clever. But
this is not essential to good time. Boys
Ike to talk about their school or college
affairs, their baseball or football the lit
tie, commonplace incidents of business or
the home. One does not want to descend
to trivialities or to mere gossip, but the
human interest things Of life are always
entertaining.
The girl who is shy can help; train her.
self out of shyness by starting In with
the old people. The old folks are often
neglected and they appreciate young
girls taking an interest In them and talk
ing to them. They are not keenly criti.
CAL They may see that she Is shy, and
while tactfully taking no apparent notice
of 1t, help her to overcome it. gradually
bring into their little circle one or two
other young people and help the girl t.
feel Ct her ease.

In the course of an earnest appeal

Anthony Hope Hawkins remarked that

there seemed to be no known means OF

energies and brains in half q dozen
different directions, but what could the
poor author do? Any sensible man of
