TRUE WOMEN.
By EDWIN A. NYR
I would rather be

would rather be
In the shade of q tree
With song and handful of daisies
Than to be the darling Of victory
Mid the bray OF the rabbles praises.
The quotation Is by Nine Cavalieri,
the grand opera singer, who further
said in a recent interview:
II have everything that life has to
offer. By every rule and standard Of
the world l should have been happy.
But the only happiness 1 have known
has been in anticipation-anticipa
of the things expected to bring happi-
ness and did not" il,
When l read that I thought Of the
wife Of our milkman. Happening to
be on her husbands wagon the other
morning, in the course of brief con-
versation she said:
"Oh, John and I and the children
have been very happy. We have all
been quite well, and we enjoy life"
She looked it.
Here Is Cavalieri, yet young. in the
flush of health. wealthy. famous. called
by some the most beautiful woman in
the world-and unhappy. And here is
my milkman's wife, also young and
good to look at, working hard every
day and enjoying few luxuries-but
happy.
Cavalieri well says according to the
worlds standards she ought to be hap
py. I wonder has it occurred to her
whether the worlds standards may be
wrong?
In other words. can externals give
happiness?
Now, there may be something wrong
within Cavalieri's self that has caused
her unhappiness. What it may be do
not know. I might guess at it. But
Here is the lesson:
Sometimes we who are neither tai
ented nor rich nor beautiful nor IA
nous find ourselves wishing we might
be possessed Of these things-and be
supremacy happy.
1t seems we are mistaken. Old Omar
discarded all these things to say:
A book of verses underneath the bough
jug OF wine. loaf OF bread and thou
Beside me singing in the wilderness
o wilderness were paradise enowt
Mayhap Cavalieri's lack is what my
milkman's wife surely has-love-love
for John and the children.
However that may be-
The old book speaks a universal law
when 1t declares that a mans life does
not consist in the abundance Of things

AUTOMOBILE REGULATIONS.

the Legislature which is about To as

perfect when il was enacted. EXpe-
riencc with il has proved IL 10 be less

driving. less effective as an instrument
for punishment. and generally less sue

WAS expected. It's flaws are well
enough known. though the recent court
decision that drunken chauffeur who
might run down Broadway AT Sixty
miles an hour could escape Win on!

some unlucky individual shows up one
flaw hitherto unsuspectd. obviously
that needs a remedy. There should DE

for violations Of the law, that their

feurs we're compelled To take out IL
censes.
At the same time the unfortunate
situation in this city is not due en-
tirely to the faults of the automoDlle
law. As Mr.. Calan, the sponsor OF
that statute. points out. 1t expressly
leaves To cities Of the first class the
regulation OF their automobile frame
and the restriction of speed. This was
insisted on by New York City men at
the time the measure was under CON
sjderation. because 1t was believed
that no general statute could meet con-
ditions here as well as local ordinances
could. Yet the local authorities are
still going along under an Old ofdi-
nance which prescribes speed OF
eight miles an hour within the clty,
maximum of fifteen miles in unsettled
districts with so fine as the pen
alty for violation. That is even more
inadeulate than the Callan law. for
the proper protection OF the pupnc III

as much as improvement in the state
laws
