The Woman Who Is Neper Satisfied

to ask for more. And her husband alwayi
gave 1t her. or course, he did, the lnfat

asking for more, and more again,
Human nature is pretty much the same
all the world over. We are always hoping
for something we have not got, and look
ing forward to some nearing goal of hap
| piness perfected
Hope springs eternal in tho human breast.
Man never is but always to be blcst."
So this idollzed wife kept longing ana
longing for new" things. After a time
these were nearly always foolish things,
too. Mrs Smith was giving certain
kind OF pink luncheon where the gifts
were all carried out in French enamei
jewelry Couldn't she give a mauve din
ner with more expensive gifts than those
of Mrs Smith? Her fond husband meek
ly consented--for quite a long while. And
then the deluge came!
The little wife had been growing more
and more dlscontented Tho more she
got, the more che wanted. Things ceased
to be valuable III ,,iemselves, but only
took a value in proportion as they
eXcelled those of her neighbors. To
eclipse others was the wife's watChword.
She traveled-not because she enjoyed 1t,
but because the other women OF her set
did it. and because 1t therefore was
the thing" to do. She went down to
Palm Beach regularly every season-be-
cause others did it. And she was al
ways dscontented, too. That was the
extraordinary thing about It. Nothing
could please her. Somehow, like all dis
contented women, she had lost the pro-
portion of things, her ratio of values
was all out of gear.
Then the inevitable happened. Her hus-
band grew tired of his wife's perpetual
discomfort and of herself. You were a
bright, interesting girl when / married
you, Mary" said he, with the brutal
frankness of which a thoroughly goaded
man is capable. And l gave you every
thing the heart of woman could desire. 1t
only brought you discomfort. So I'm
going to leave you. Perhaps when I'm
gone you will find the old happiness
again"
And Mary was broken-hearted. She
learned her lesson too late. For her huB-
band really did leave her. The sympathy
of people was with him, too. His wife
really had been very trying.
The discontented woman should stop
short and consider her ways. Is the fault
not entirely her own? Is her mind not
cropping after the worthless things of
life, and leaving the higher to perisht
No wonder then, that she is dscontented.
She always will be until she mends her |
ways. Let her count up her blessings |
and appreciate her opportunities Then |
In fuller and a deeper life she will |

the pleasure-bringing value of the little |
trifes which mean true happiness

her mother too we'll for that-and her
love was greater now that she was an
only child.
But now everything had changed. Her
mother had made 1t quite clear to her
that James Travers' humble position in
life, his lack OF money and OF prospects,
made him quite impossible as husband
But now James Travers was the equal
of any one In the land-not rich, per-
haps, as yet, but on the certain road to
riches And he was famous. For one
person in the world who had ever heard
of Lord Wimberley there must have been
hundred to whom the name of Paolo
Luvinl was already as familiar as that
of Chopin or Schubert. This had been
no ordinary success. 1t had been some
thing wonderful, phenomenal. And James
Travers had been thinking of her all the
time, had been working for her. trying,
as he had put 1t, to climb q little nearer
to her And now he had come to lay
all his triumphs at her feet. He had
climbed far far above her. even as
great genius is always far above the mere
accidents of birth or wealth.
AS Joan entered the drawing room Lady
Wimberley, looking up from her needle
work, noticed the change that had come
over her daughters face,
Your walk has done you good, JOAN"
she said gently. You seem to have
captured n little OF the sunlight and i'm

Joan laughed, and seating herself on
the arm of her mothers chair bent down
and kissed her.

"Joan!" said Lady Wimberley sharply,
and she rose to her feet.

Joan, l am exceedingly angry with
you. 1t was very, very wrong OF you.

She seated herself on a sofa, and Joan

eyes sparkling.

voice, 'Mr. Travers Is Paolo Luvini, the

NOTED SUFFRAGE LEADER HERE

celebrated English suffrage leader, while
she studied the photographs of some
English suffragettes in the EVENING

decisive gestures showed her enthusiasm

II is a strange and curious fact that the
discontented woman Is always the one
who has least reason or cause to be dis
contented She is nearly always the idle
woman, too. Her Woodworking friends
listen to the recital of her woes with utter
amazement. "That woman has every
thing that the heart Of woman could pos
sibly DESIRE" they will exclaim, "and yet
she is hopelessly discontented Isn't 1t
extraordinary II she only knew what it
meant TO long for the very necessaries of
life. she would stop bemoaning her fate
the way she always does IL she falls in
securing a few of the luxurles,"
Among the spoiled daughters of luxury,
then, is the discontented woman most
often to be found. And the reason of her
discomfort lies in the emptiness of her
mind She need not necessarily be
stupid woman to reach this stage of dis
satisfaction. Quite the reverse, in fact
Some of the most discontented women
who have over lived have been exceeding
ly clever. Yet their minds were empty,
for they declined to harbor any interest
ing ideas Or Worthwhile hobbies. Their
minds were empty so far as the best
things OF life go. and the space was filled
with foolish and prohtless thoughts of
emulating and eclipsing their neighbors.
Once upon time n young man met
very delightful and interesting young
woman. Her mind was as attractive as
her outward appearancc-and that was
saying good deal. She was earning her
own living, and very successfully. too, as
Journalist. The young man promptly
fell In love with her. Yes, she was charm
ing. She had never been accustomed to
much adulatlon or praise, and she had
always worked hard, and done without
so.called pleasures" But she had al
ways been very happy and contented,

exquisite, size had husband who idolized |
her, and at first she was brilliantly /
happy.
But after a time the luXurtes and the
ease and the comfort became matters of
course. She stopped noticing them. The
things that had at first seemed so new
and delightful and thrilling began to bore
her. Like little oliver Twist she began ,

CHAPTER XIV.

He took a letter from his pocket and
gave 1t to her. She stared at the address
on the envelope: James Travers, ESQ.,
a. Firs-road, West Kensington." Then
she drew out the letter slowly and un-
folded it. 1t was from the secretary of
the syndicate who had produced his opera,
inclosing n check for royalties, and ask
ing him whether it would not be better
to let the public know his real name, now

The lines danced and quivered before
her eyes as she read. The blood rushed
into her face, and receded leaving 1t very
pale. James Travers rose from his chair
and came towards her.

Seven Dont's for
Fire Protection.

1. Don't forget that carelessness
causes fires, precaution prevents
them.
2. Don't throw burning matches or
tobacco where there is inflammabIe
material.
9. Don't build larger camp fires
than necessary.
4. Don't build fires against trees,
stumps. or large or hollow logs.
5. Don't build fires in leaves, rot
ten wood or other places where they
are likely to spread. Build them on
mineral soil, by first scraping away
the leaves and decayed vegetation.
s, Don't fail to extinguish com
pletely all fires before leaving them,
even for short time.
7. Don't build fires to clear land,
without taking every possible precau-
ton against their spreading.

Stand by the
President.

> A1AN8N~NA~e
Certain newspapers in the United
States are making q loud cry of war,
capitalized many times. Every Am
erican citizen should stand by the
president in this great crisis, and
nothing that has been written during
the past few days is saner or wiser
than the following from the Savan-
nah News:
It is to be hoped that the splendid
record attained by the American
press in the crises that have passed
will be maintained in the grave situaA
ton which now confronts us. Per-
haps It is just as well and far better
for this country that the final deter
nination of the national fate does not
lie in the hands of the few journals
tic iingoes who are now telling Pres
ident Wilson that it ''is time to act,
and that there is mo more time to be
wasted in bringing Germany to her
senses The president knows what
is best, and that he will be fully
guided by the promptings of wisdom,
and the best interests of his country
our people may feel assured.

Of war, to declare battle with an in

sponsibility of deluging his country
with blood, the blood of its sons and
daughters. There is none who would
have peace with dishonor; there is
not one of US who would not avenge

of the Americans on the Lusitania;
there is none so dead to the instinct
of humanity as not to feel that war.
fare on the waters should be civilized
as far as it can be civilized, and not
barbarous, but these questions anC
conditions are not to be fought out
in the public prints, in the heat OF
passion and by the light of strong
prejudices, before the chief executive
who holds the destiny of the nation il
his hands, has spoken.
If there must be war we need be II
no hurry for it; it will be just al
bloody tomorrow as today, and if oul
young manhood must give up its Life

in the onward roll of eternity. If VIZ
