THE life of the mind is so ad-
venturous and inquisitive and rest
less that it keeps one in continual
state of exertion and often exhaus-
ton, and the only rest one ever
knows Is with the completion of a
piece of work that has been we'll
done. That is why I am really hap
riest when I am away from people
working out something that has been
tormenting me. 1t isn't really very
pleasant way of living, inasmuch as
seeing and being with people are with
me a scrt of dissipation. But then
every one has his great temptation"
she concluded sagely.

THE INDIRECT INFLUENCE IN ACTION.

In England the government has sustained minor
defeat on their bill for regulating pumage in womens
hats The opposition to the bill arose. among women
but from members of Parliament who feared the bill
gave sufragists too easy road to jail
IF this bill becomes law" said Mr. Gyn-Smith,
many thousand OF women would adopt as the emblem
Of their great organization cheap foreign feather and
would probably be seen walking with it in their hats
round the Houses Of Parliament to show their contempt
OF Parliament"
Would women legislators be so easily intimidated?

parade-yet that hasn't prevented her
from having political interests before
she can herself have direct voting
influence on the government. She Is
actively interested in the Progressive
party. and has done as much as any
man TO further its interests.
In the philanthropic world she be-
came a figure to be remarked upon,
although she undertook the work but
a little over a year ago. In this short
space she has had energy and time
enough to be a volunteer worker tor
the Committee on Safety, organized
shortly after the Triangle fire, and
her colleagues declare that she has
signal gilt and ability in this capacity
When the Fourteenth Street Store
closed she was found at the door
handing out bills to the Jobless
women telling them OF reputable en-
ployment bureaus and OF places where
they might secure work.
She was one of the leading spirits
in the organization of prominent So
ciety women into a Conference on I'm
employment Among Women, and If
her work there is any criterion she
and the women like her, who have
large social vision, are new type OF

Until the Conference was formed
every one had overlooked the fact
that hundreds and thousands OF
women were lined up shoulder 70

Qualifications Of . Writer.
when a person is busy writing
down In his mind what he is thinking
of other people, what he is thinking
Of books and works of art, he is
qualifying himself as a writer.
Sometimes it seems to me that in
the life of a person with a literary
temperament there are no realities;
that nothing ever reaches or hurts
you or makes you really happy; that
things only reach and hold you
through the mental energy that they
invoke.

CHIVALRY.

It's treating a woman politely,
Provided she isn't fright;
It's guarding the girls who act rightly,
If you can be judge of what's right;
It's being-not just, but SO pleasant;
It's tipping while wages are low;
It's making a beautiful present,
And failing to pay what you owe.

Women's Needs Overlooked.

Though these women needed help
and protection as much, if not more,
than the men, their needs were over
looked, and they were left to get
work If they could through private
agencies, newspaper advertisements,
or chance. An employment bureau
was opened by the city, but-opened
only to men. AS an instance of the
neglect to reckon with women's
reeds, the Industrial Relations Com
mission did not have women counted
in at all in the census they made to
ascertain the number of unemployed
in New York City.
Reused by this situation, number
Of New York women organized the
Conference, to provide help for
women and to call public attention
to their need. The officers OF the
Conference are Mrs. Peter Cooper
Hewitt, chairman; Miss Francis A.
Kellor, vice-chairman; Miss c. Bryce,
vice chairman; Miss Anna V. s..
Mitchell, secretary; Mrs. J. Sergeant
Cram, treasurer; Mrs. Helen Hartley
Jenkins, chairman finance committee;
Miss Anne Rhodes, chairman sewing
room committee; Miss {. Bryce,
chairman employment committee;
Mrs. Ralph Ellis, chairman member
ship committee, and Mrs. II. S. b.
Beale, chairman legislative commit
tee.
Other members Of the Conference
are Mrs. John Andrews, Miss Ger

interest manifested in the play in
London than here, and that several
English actors and managers arc
considering it, although the Little
Theatre of Philadelphia has made an
offer for it's production in America in
October.

tain significant lines in such poems as

The Sisterhood.' In these passages
there is displayed an independence of

suggests their author as one of the
voices of the new womanhood."
Miss Atkins will have finished a
second volume of poems, also to be
called Interpretations" in the fall,
al which time she will have completed
also her first book OF fiction.

MISS ZOE AKINS.

Facility is the result OF doing
lesser things all the time. Every bit
of writing and every bit of talking
and every bit of thinking is literary
preparation.
UNLESS the whole tendency Of your
life is literary one, l do not see how
one can ever achieve any great ease or
superiority to the small technical OBJ
stacles that come with a great idea.
A literary tendency is thing that
does not mean life of reading books,
necessarily, or scribbling all the
time. 1t means, as much as anything,
an interest in your friends and all the
people with whom you come into con-
tact-aD interest that shapes itself

At Last the Definition.
"An Amorality is the opposite of a
Morality" runs his cryptic pro-
nouncement. "The Morality play
was designed definitely to point a
moral. An Amorality is the outcome
Of the modern tendency not to attempt
to worship, but to let thing be
Judged by an aesthetic rather than by
a moral standard. Miss Atkins
achieves this in her play, which is but
q promise of greater things to come
from her pen, and so her play is an
Amorality."
But we feared Mr.. Bjorkman
might be a prejudiced party, mas
much as he had chosen Miss Akins's
play for the series. SO we approach
ed the "disinterested bystander," in
this instance, Miss Jeanette Glider.
Miss Glider very, very promptly
referred us to Miss Atkins, who, she
said, had written an "Amorality." eff
you hadn't told me about Roman
ROLAND using it 1 should say that 1t
was "a morality like a morality play
So since Mr.. Bjorkman seems to be
the only person with definite definl-
lion, his is to be accepted as final.
Play Spiritually Unambitious."
Whether Amorality as a code OF
conduct is to be admired as an ex-
cmpli6cation of the ideal or whether
it is to be frowned down upon as a
deca6ent philosophy and fad of the
present literary moment does not
bother the creator of this first Ameri-
can Amorality. Miss Atkins herself
sums up the play as spiritually I'M
ambitious" and says that to her the
play seemed to have little significance.
However, the fact that play
which does not aspire to moral
heights really carries significance is
to me at once tremendously amusing
and tremendously hattering,' OBJ
served Miss Atkins. 1T quite goes to
my head to have people see things
like that in my work.

Likened to Schnitzler.
Mr.. Bjorkman, in his introduction
TO the play, compared it favorably
with Schnitzler's "Anatol" and the
Dolly Dialogues" and Miss Atkins
evinces surprise at being linked with
Anthony Hope.

Open Employment Bureau.
The Conference at once opened
free employment bureau where
women and girls out of work could
register without paying as fee what
often was the last dollar that stood
between them and starvation. For
ether women, most of whom wer:
elderly, sewing room was opened.
After investigating the situation
throughout the winter, Mrs. Hewitt,
and her committee decided that what
was needed most urgently was some
arrangement for bringing into CO.
operation the hundreds OF charitable
and seni-charitable employment Of
hces now in operation. This matter
of bringing the existing philanthrope
agencies into a general system is ore
OF the lines on which the Conferences
will work this summer. A plan 10
now being made to work out a sys-
tematic clearing house of all employ
ment exchanges throughout the city,
Many of the charitable societies have
agreed to assist in the work. In this
way much unnecessary and wsstefu
duplication and overlapping can Be
avoided, and people wishing to get
women for work can get directly
into communication with unemployed
women who want the work.

LOCAL SCHOOLS !.
Melting POT, IS
VISITOR IDEA
w. G. Hartranft, Former Edu-
Gator of Seattle, Addresses
Honolulu Teachers

Hawaiian schools as a melting pot
where the children of the world are
put, where they are assimilated, where
they are turned out young Americans,
was touched on yesterday afternoon
in an address to the teachers of the
public schools by w. G. Hartranft, for
merly the superintendent of public
instruction of Seattle, now well
known educational lecturer on the
coast and the representative OF a
large publishing firm.
'The Spirit of Teaching" was the
subject of his talk. He began with a
tribute to the schools of the territory,
which he has been visiting for the last
fortnight. He compared them to a
melting pot, where children of many
nationalities are put, at last to emerge
as young Americans. The problems OF
teaching, peculiar to the work here,
and general, he pointed out: and he
emphasized the power and duty Of a
teacher.
And the teachers. he said. should
mix, using a slang but expressive
word. The man should be a man
dIuCuS IEG d hOlHdu
among women. They should be active
and alert for the interests of the COM
munity, be part Of it, in feeling as
we'll as in presence.
Mr. Hartranft brought in the name
of Martin Luther with his declaration
that he would rather be a former than
reformer; the speaker said the same
spirit should be in the hearts of the
teachers-the desire to form the char
acter of their pupils along lines lead
ing to good citizenship. For there
are, he said, three things a pupil de,
mands:
Something to love,
Something to do.
Something to hope for"
And the teacher who allows a pupil
to pass from his or her room, with the
demands unmet, has failed in one CT
The essential obligations Of the work,
has taught without the spirit of teach
ing, he said.
The address was heartily applauded
Mr.. and Mrs. Hartranft will leave by
the Matsonia tomorrow, returning to
San Francisco.
