NATURALIZATION.

Naturalization is a European, not an
American, institution, writes Cyrus F.
Wicker in the November Atlantic.
It is little known in this country and
until two years ago. no treatise had
been written in English on the subject
1t is certain to have a different Ge-
velopment upon this hemisphere and in
the Far East from that which it has
had in Europe, where the need of buffer
states is more apparent. But this at
least is of value, that although four
entire countries have been neutralized,
three of them Independent states of
Europe and one a union of dependent
states in Africa, together with two
colonies and a canal, we are assured
by example that it is not requisite in
granting permanent neutrality to con-
fer independence as we'll Savoy was
neutralized while belonging at the time,
and thereafter, to the Kingdom of Sar-
DINA. It is now, although neutralized,
one of the departments of France.
The Ionian Islands continued to belong
to Greece after their naturalization, and
the neutralized Basin of the Congo is
apportioned among and owned today
by four different powers. The Philip
pines are our property and we may
neutralize them, with the cooperation
of the Great Powers of the world, while
retaining exclusive sovereignty over
them. We may build their schools.

can citizenship, influence in all legiti-
mate ways the trade of the Islands to
come to America, just as England is
doing in India, with the added advan-
tage that We shall benefit equally with
all other nations in their trade, which,
under our tariff provisions, is not al
together the case now.

EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

There are some people in the world
| who seem to feel positively insultec
at other folks good fortune.
A young girl who had had a rather
hard fight to make her way, finally
made big success in her work, and
on top of that met, fell in love with
and married one of the wealthiest and
most desirable young bachelors in the
city.
They have just returned from an ex-
tended wedding trip abroad and are
planning to build a beautiful home in
the prettiest part of the town, so nat
urally everyone in the neighborhood
is talking about her good fortune.
Among the rest the mother of one of
the unmarried girls in her set was
discussing the lucky lady. Well
she said, Jane is pretty and stylish
and makes good appearance in COM
pany, but she certainly has an awful
temper. They say it was nothing but
a case of temper that separated her
older sister and her husband. EDeser-
ton was named as the grounds for di-
vorce, but everyone says he deserted
her because he simply couldn't stand
her temper. Well" with a mournful
sigh, ct hope they'll be happy"
OF course, you know her type, so
of course you can imagine just how
she contradicted the sense of her last
on hope" She didn't wet them to
be happy, and she couldn't help show
ing it.
She was a victim of virulent at
tack of one of the most common of
human diseases-the green sickness of
envy.
Pride, says the poet, is the last in
trinity of noble minds. Undou btedly,
envy must be the next to last.
It must be because of my peculiar
1y ugly disposition, but the part of
me that feels envy is just about the
hardest citadel of the enemy for me
to take. I may Danish all outward
show of it. I may go about proclaim
ing my rivals good fortune and prais-
ing him or her, but the instructive
surge of envy, the instructive wish to
find some flaw in the good fortune
that I should have liked for myself
is still there. ] could more easily
make some tremendous sacrifice for
free myself of that feeling.
Have you never felt for a 3hamed
instant subconscious feeling of
pleasure when you heard that some
piece of I'll luck had come to that par
ticular person who had always had
all the successes and the good things
that you wanted?
Have you never felt a moment of
sick disappointment when you heard of
some browning success that would
place your rival in some field far above |
you?
If you have not, you surely have my |
most hearty Fluctuations.
But If you have, 1 know you will |
make it one of your character ambi- |
tions-as it is mine-to teach yourself |
TO be genuinely pleased whenever you |
near of anyone's good fortune and to |
forget what envy means.

ed these expedients. Now girl
comes in and asks for the size of shoe
her feet require and, in many cases,
in her gym work.
And a perusal of the fashion pages,
a reading of the ads in the maya
zines and that shy, furtive, half
ashamed glimpse at the drygoods store
windows which is all a modest man
dares take, will show that the femi-
nine corset has loosened its strings
amazingly and that 1t has become
more of a mere girdle than the former
high instrument of torture.
All these physical changes merely
symbolic the change and growth of
ideas. The old-time, aneInic creature
who used to pose simperingly in the
illustrated ANIMALS that were the high
water mark of bookmaking in her day.
has given way to a bigger and Detter
type of girl. Where the Victorian
maid would faint to attract attention
her robust sister of today does amaz-
ing gymnastic stunts.
And her love for athletics isn't
pose on her part. She is sincere and
is willing to show her sincerity in the
most self-sacrificing ways. At Welles-
ley the girl athletes who are to figure
in the annual fall meet, on November
20, have given practical proof of their
genuir\1ess. They cut out fudge from
their daily food the minute they went
into training. What more can be said
