EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTa cA&nRolS.

Apparently she is the most cordial
person in the world. A stranger who
heard her gushing and effusing over
you would certainly say so. But you
and all the people who know her-know
better. You know just how big a dis
count to make in reckoning the value
of her illusions. And you invariably
make it.
And who is she, you ask? What, did
I forget to tell you? Why she is the
lady of the indefinite invitations.
She is the person who always wants
her friends to visit her some day, but
never invites them Monday or Tues
day or Wednesday, or any of the rest
Of the seven definite days.
She is so glad to see you, she was
thinking about you this very morning,
and she does wish you would come out
and see her some day. It's so lovely
out where she lives and she knows you
would enjoy the view from her YER
anda- You certainly must come some
day, she says, and then she squeezes
your hand and bids you goodbye and
futters away, evidently vastly delight
ed with herself and the impression of
cordiality and hospitality that she
But if you are acquainted with her
type, she hasn't left 1t.
You know that her vague invitations
mean just about as much as her protes-
tat1OnS or afectIOn, ana you would as
soon think of acting on one as the
other.
Probably the next time she sees you
she will tell you again how glad she is
to see you and how she was thinking
of you that very morning, and will ask
plaintive1y, why haven't you ever
come out to see me? I'm always ask
ing and you never come"
And probably, being a coward, you
will murmur some vague excuse, in
stead of calling her bluff by saying,
you never really asked me-"
Now, do use my automobile any time
you like is the favorite remark of a
friend of mine It sounds good, but
being armed with the knowledge that
any time is usually no time, I don't
make the mistake of taking her at her
word.
'T wish you would come in some day
and help yourself to some of our
grapes" was another kind friends way
of showing her generosity. but somehow
she never suggested that we do 1t to-
day, or even tomorrow.
Indefinite, meaningless invitations
and promises are the counterfeit coin
of hospitality and generosity. For
tunately, however, they deceive few.
The only great harm they do is to those
who try to use them for the real thing.
No sensible person resents 1t when
any of their acquaintance do not
choose to invite them to dinner or loan
them their automobile, but any sensible
person does dislike to have their ac-
quaintances ply them with counterfeit
cordiality and hospitality.

woRKERs FIoUr SOCIALISM.

The December Century contains a
striking article on 1.-The Setback to
English Socialism, in which the author,
G. K. Chesterton, writes, with the ut
most frankness of what the English
people are really thinking. The recent
strikes, says Mr. Chesterton, have
really been a revolt against the whole
system of wage-earning. But while
your workers would have some cloudy
notion of an alternative in farming the
large country by freer men, with us the
agricultural alternative has slipped out
of sight. The workers know what they
don't want more than what they do;
like Miss ArabelIa Allen in "Pickwick,"
This state of mind is called by the
learned syndicalism. 1t is really some
thing much more serious; it is anger.
In the stress of these strikes two ex-
traordinary things happened. The capt.
talist become a Socialist. The prole-
tartan became an individualist. The
employer wanted the community to in
tervene; and the employee didn't want
it to intervene. 1t was the rich man
who used the Socialist argument; the
comfort and convenience of the whole
nation. 1t was the poor man who used
the individualist argument; the free
dom of contract and the private rights
of man. 1t was the coal-owner who
said, "Salus popuH supreme lex" It
was the coal-miner who said, Fiat
justitia ruat coleum." He may not have
expressed It precisely in those terms;
though he is often no more illiterate
than the coa1-owner. This. then, is the
extraordinary inversion that is the
deepest dilemma of England today
Hamlet and Laertes have really
changed swords in the scuff1e; which is
the poisoned sword I will not at this
| moment inquire.
The results of this extend and solidify
every hour. For nearly a century now
| Socialists and social reformers in Eng
land, as in the rest of Europe and in
America, have preached either greater
philanthropy among the rich or greater
rebellion among the poor. In both cases
they have been suddenly taken at their
word; but in such a manner as to
