Indeed! handn't heard.
What's the name of your laundry,

III the average man were half
so frank as his dusky fellow citi-
zen, he would own that in urging
so persistently that wornan's in
terests should be in the home. alone,
he is, after all, taking as his ideal
a relationship not unlike that of
Scipio and his Liza Ann. Let him
not arrogate to himself too great
superiority, because he perchance
may wish to be the exclusive pat
ron of his privately owned "han'
laundry"
In effect, this back to the home"
idea may be translated to mean
that mans interests are social; wo-
mans purely individual. To him
the relationship with the world of
business and politics, the world of
organized industry and the team
work. that alone can civilize hu-
manity; to her the relationship to
him and to "his" children.
And this "home" which is the
stock-in-trade of the orator, over
which the poet sheds rapturous
tear, at the thought of which
the lecturer gulps down
an impressive sob, this "home" is
presumed to be a cosy sheltered
nest wherein wife and children are
safely shut away from any con-
tact with the harsh outer world.
From this downy spot, all sweet
ness and blissful calm, the brave
pater familias emerges at morn,
brushing the crumbs of his break
fast toast from his garments; and
fares forth, by tire or trolley, to do
battle with aforesaid harsh cruel
world. His part to bear the brunt
of conflict. the heat and dust of
the fray; hers to greet him with
loving smile when he returns laden
with spoils, to his peaceful refuge.
At this point the lecturer attains
too high flight for this humber
pen of mine to follow. His rap
turous eulogy of home or woman,
in terms that would over praise
Heaven itself, superinduces a rev.
erent hush among his auditors. A
few sympathetic spinsters have re-
course to their handkerchiefs to
conceal the traces of their emotion.
And when the lecture is over, there
is burst of admiring comments
"What beautiful tribute!"
So far, Mr.. Lecturer. But if YOU.

man should have no interests OUT

on the gas or the hot water, to the
end that dishes may be washed. But
of course she must have no notion
where that gas or that water comes
from. 1t would be too shockingly
unfeminine were she to notice that
the gas meter works overtime and
the bill bears no relation to the
amount used. 1t is sad enough that
she must know that there is meter
or gas company, or a bill, at all.
Already the world outside has
touched the home with blight.
Time was when dishwashing was
the sweet simple homelike duty
poets love to contemplate. Then
Mary split up some kindling to build
her fire. (Did someone say John
did it for her? Contrary minded,
vote no! The noes seem to have
iit.) Then she took the teakettle
out to her own we'll and pumped
until she was red in the face,
carried the full teakettle back and
set it on the stove. When the
water was hot and the dishes had
been sloshed around in it sufficient
ly, and rubbed off, and the table
wiped off, and the stove cleaned and
washed, Mary could throw the
greasy residuum right from the
kitchen door into her own chicken
yard, and that stanza of the days
poem was completed. (On the
whole, l think it would be better
to speak of the dishwashing as the
refrain to the poem. 1t recurs so
frequently
And in the dear dead days, when
life was full of just such inspiring
poetry as this, if Mary, or one Of
the children enjoyed a season of
typhoid, it was visitation of Prov
idence to chasten the proud spirit
of mankind. No one thought of
the effect of an unclean barnyard
on the family milk supply, or of the
disposition of the family garbage
near the family well, as having
any connection with such vista
ton.
Sweet simple days, gone past |!
Even dear sheltered Mary, now
when typhoid comes, has a tenden-
cy to inquire into the workings
of the dairy that supplies the morn
ing milk, or wonder about the pos
sible infection of the city water
supply. Again the blight and can
ker of this sordid world, upon a
mind that should be untouched by
aught save the sweet domesticities.
But let us return to Mary and her
days work. She must be through
with the dishwashing by this time.
Does she gather her little brood
about her, set their simple sums,
hear them lisp their first lessons,
guide their young feet gently into
the paths of learning? Far from it.

the public schools, the one demo-
cratic institution of our land. Little
Giovanni comes from his bed of
half-ripe bananas little Rebecca
from her pallet beside her fathers
sewing machine; Patrick from his
fathers bar; Christina from her
mothers washtub; yes, and little
Isabella and Wilfred, rosy and we'll
nurtured, from their well-guarded
homes. And from them all dear
quiet little Rosemary, destined,
later on, it is presumed, for the
cloistral shelter of home of her
own, will learn-well, many things
besides her lessons.
But Of this the mother can know
nothing; for is it not her sacred
duty to stay "in" the home, even
when sending her six-year-old
daughter "out"? That schools offer
other contagious than chicken-pox
that school boards change text
books and teachers necessarily for
other than the most praiseworthy
motives; that graft and greed rule
too often here as in other forms
of government-these are things
from which the little ones must suf-

be SO unwomanly as to ask for a
remedy. That would take her out
side the home.

and perhaps the grocer inquiries
if anything is wanted this morning.
But if Mary is the practical and
economical housewife Johns finan-

secondhand procedure, and after
the morning sweeping and cleaning
and bed making has been done, she
travels forth to visit store and mar
ket. And by that token she knows
sugar costs twice as much per
pound as it did when she first
began housekeeping; that beef has
scared far over the moon; that ev-
cry year the problem of rising
prices and stationary income be-
comes more acute. But the reason
for all these things it would be un-
womanly to inquire. John would
be shocked. or highly amused, or
both, should she discover the exist
ence of reciprocity treaty or a
farmers free list bill, should she
discern any relationship between
her home finances and the Beef
Trust. No, Mary; take home that
cut OF round steak for which you
paid the former price of porter
house and try to pound it into some
thing like edibility; but don't dis
tract your tender mind over these
larger problems. Only the mascu-
line intellect can grapple with them.
Like morning, like afternoon.
The same problem of poorer goods
for larger prices comes up in a
different form, with Jacqueminots
knickerbockers to patch and the re-
current wonder how Rosemary gets
through her shoes so soon. So far
may the mother think; but what
heresy, should her mind dwell for
an instant on Schedule K.

WHAT ALL THE

simple, proud and humble. we are
all bent on the same search. Over
footpaths of peace, along the dusty
highways of the commonplace, up
the rocky hillside of struggle to the
earth's summit, down through the
very valley of the shadow, are we
ever pursuing, pursuing. With the
fading taper of credulity, with
the one little candle of hope, with
the will-o'-the-wispof folly, with the
small steady beam of industry, with
the fitful flare of genius, light we
our way. Whittier? We know not !;
save that it is always in search of
something that ever eludes the hand
outstretched to grasp it.
And what is it, indeed, that all
the worlds a-seeking? Through
all the times and the eternities the
quest is as impossible to define as
to satisfy. Do we give our desire
name? That name is become as
mystical, as unapproachable as the
desire itself. The very glass that
would reflect it takes on the shim-
mering unreality of the vision. The
bonds that would confine it float
off with it into illimitable distance.
Is it happiness we want? The
want itself is less vague than the
expression. The word may mean
all; or nothing. The question be-
comes only-What is this Happi-
ness that we seek? And why should
some be born to seek in the warmth
of loving glances, some in the chill
of solitude? Why should one fol-
low his quest over desert sands,
while another sees the light he must
ever pursue flickering where men
huddle closest? Why do some name
it Ambition, some Fame, some Gain,
and some Goodwill? And why,
when we know it beyond our grasp,
must the hand ever go forth in
search of it?
For the search itself-not its sat
isfaction- is all there is in life.
If we break on the wheel, the wheel
itself breaks not. Change is the
one thing unchanging, progress the
one thing immutablc. The lesson
of every goal is that it is not goal
but mile post. The test of achieve
ment is the realization that there is
more to achieve than mind can ever
know. Infinity our poor minds can
never grasp; yet we must live in the
midst of it. In vain we seek to
set bonds and limits there are none.
Then is it after all a hopeless
search? Yes, always; and its very
hopelessness the finest, the most in
spring, the most hopeful thing
about it. Th. search that never
ends is ours, rising from glory unto
glory through realms untrodden
and illimitab1e.
"Man is the conquest of an endless
quest,
A long divine adventure without
rest;
Each hard-bought freedom withers
to a bond,
Freedom forever is beyond-be-
yond,"
Pilgrims all. whether we look up
or down, or at the traveller beside
us, our path is set toward the stars,
