Emls That Never Arr1ve

All of us remember the fairy tale
about the wedding feast from which
first the bride, then her parents, then
her brothers and then guest after
guest disappeared, The bride had
gone to the cellar to draw some wine
and one after another the rest of the
wedding party had followed to see
why she did not come back
At last the groom was left alone and
he went in search of the missing fam
lily. Behold them all weeping over a
dire inspiration of the brides! There
was pickaxe fastened ito he ceiling
suppose some day they had children
and they came down to draw wine and
the pickaxe fell and killed them!
Most of US have laughed with apS
probation of this folly of human
nature which the Brothers Grimm so
cleverly pictured for us. But most OF
US don't stop to realize that the little
picture is perfectly applicable to us,
too!
Think it over--don't you spend
lot OF energy looking for troubles that
probably never will arrive? Don't you
use up so much forethought griev-
ing over difficulties approaching from
the future that when they arrive \at
the present you are too worn out to
cone with them?

Tea for Debutante.

Mrs. John w. Towle entertained at

matrons in honor Of Miss Regina
Council, debutante OF last week.
Yellow chrysanthemums we're used as

in about equal numbers in every
month of the year. There may, of
course, be climatic, or other local,
or temporary, circumstances which
would favor exceptional persons born
in certain months, but that would
not be unifrom influence, and would
afford no indication whatever of the
gifts of any particular person COM
ing into life in those months.
There does appear to be something
benign to the brain in the meteorol-
cgy of the upper middle ATTITUDES.
1t is a physiological influence exer-
ciscd by the atmosphere and the soil,
through special tempering of the
beams of energy from the sun. But
it does not follow that to be born
within this favored zone is to possess
genius. Geniuses and on-geniuses
benefit alike from its advantages.
The harm arising from too much
meditation on this subject comes
from its association with systems OF
soothsaying, some OF which have
probably logged humanity ever since
the days of the cave jewellers. All
systems Of this kind are built upon
selected condolences, and fragmen-
tary satisfies. They all claim to be
Scientific" nowadays, when science
has won the call, lust as they were
all Occult in the dark ages, when
thaumaturgy had the lead.
Even phrenology, which had at
least an anatomical and physiological
basis, led itself astray by reliance
upon insufficient data and by too
hasty generalization. No better il
lustration of this manner of construct
ing Science" can be given than is
contained in these word of DIR. Alex
ander Macalister in his article on
"Phrenology," in the Encyclopedia
Britannica:
THE system of Gall was con-
structed by method of pure en-
piricism, and his so-called organs
were, for the most part, identified on
slender grounds. Having selected the
place of faculty, he examined the
heads of his friends and casts of
persons having that popularity in
common, and in them he sought for
the distinctive feature of his charac-
teristic trait. Some OF his earlier
studies were made among low assoc
ciates, in jails and in lunatic asylums,
and some Of the qualities located by
him were such as tend to become per-
verified to crime. These he named
after their excessive manifestations,
mapping out organs of theft. murder,
etc, but as this cast some discredit on
the system the names were changed
by Spurzheim, who claimed as his
the moral and religious considerations
associated with it.
In like manner the ascription of
certain traits and qualities to persons
born under certain signs Of the zodiac,
whose rising occurs in certain months,
is purely matter Of empiricism, and
the illustrative examples quoted in
support Of the superstition have no

Most of our ills we have cured.
And the sharpest we still have
survived;
But what tortures OF pain we endured
From the evils which never arrived.
Why must we march through life
carrying with us deliberately and of
our own choice a collection of things
about which to worry? This is form
of preparedness" which is highly
prevalent-and utterly absurd
Most of our troubles don't arrive,
and all the trouble we have in con-
nection with them is waiting for them
to come. The things about which we
worry and agitate ourselves either
never happen or aren't particularly
bad when they do happen. And we
wear ourselves but in idle anticipation
Isn't this inefficient? The point is
that while one worries about certain
dire possibility and uses u, energy on
it, something quite unexpected turns
up and one has to readjust ones self
to bearing that.
There are plenty of troubles in this
world without looking for them.
Many of the things about which we
worry could be kept out of our path
if we just set about attending to them
instead OF fearing them!

"A Girls Idea
of the Proper
Sphere Of Girls
BY MADGE ARTHUR.

Have you ever noticed when you
find group OF children at play that
the game which seems always to be
first favorite is tina I Of playing
mamma" Even the little ones rec
ognize that to be like. mother is
one of the highest things to which
they can aim. They are always try
ing to copy her sayings and doings,
and are never happier than when they
are surrounded by their dolls, speak
ing to them and comforting them,
as a real live mother does.
1t is doubtful whether those who
have the care Of children always
realize the position they hold in a
child's mind. Mothers and grown
up sisters would need to be very
watchful over themselves If they
would remain on the pedcstals to
which the little ones raise them. In
the child's heart at least, the mother
reigns supreme. while the big
sisters hold high place there, too.
We often hear people talk about
"women's rights" Some women will
spend all their time and energy in
trying to obtain what they consider
their rights" forgetting all the time
that instead Of increasing their do
main they are losing much OF their
old inheritance. They forget that
they have kingdom to govern which
no one but themselves can govern,
and which, il left to other hands,
must ultimately go to ruin or be lost.
One OF the grandest rights that
woman has is' that OF being queen
in her own home and of making it
a place of beauty, and her subjects"
happy. II is within her powell to
make it the most attractive place on
earth, Her duty lies there, and her
greatest Joy. It may be humble, even
poor place, but it is her kingdom,
and while she is doing her utmost to
make It the happicst spot on earth
tor her dear ones, she has as much
right to be called queen as any
sovereign on the throne.
Everyone must admire girls who.
when It is necessary, have the pluck
to go out into the world in order
to earn their daily bread; but admira-
ton IS just as great for those whose
duty lies at home. She is there in her
true woman's sphere. She is doing
the work for which woman was al
ways intended Some girls fret be-
cause they cannot go out into the
world and work for money as many
Of their friends do They grow rest
less and discontinued because they
must always help at home" Now, il
these girls would only realize it, they
are doing the very noblcst thing they
can do.
Does it ever occur to them that
they are under great big debt to
their fathers and mothers, and that
anything they can do, ought to be
done to make the "old folks" happy
as they become less active and able
Tor work. 1t often happens that we
can help best by working and carry
ing home our earnings to add to the
household exchequcr; but often, too.
we shall find that our clear duty lies
right IN the home itself. And when
that is the case let us 60 to work
with a right good will
We have been told that we are ali
born princesses, and that some day
or other we shall be queens in our
own right in our own homes. Let
US try then to prepare ourselves for
the honor which is to come to us.

November 20, 1916.

As the opera season all over the
country advances facts come to light
which give Omahans good reason to
be proud. Last week the daily prints
commented on the great deficit which
existed in St. Louis after the grand
opera series there. This week Chi
cago is the subject OF discussion.
Word comes that while the balconies
arc filed with real music lovers,
among them young millionaire who
finds the balcony people quieter and
less given to chatting during the
music, the boxes and the downstairs
seats were sparsely occupied. Because
OF this situation il is said that the
loyal supporters OF opera who each
year dig down in their pockets to sup
ply tho deficits may grow discour-
aged and withdraw their support.
Other interesting comments were
made of the Chicago season. One was
that in view Of the work-a-day nature
OF the community the performances
should not be allowed to drag on in
terminably. The intermissions should
be shorter, because, unlike the French
or Italian opera-goer, who thinks he
has not had his moneys worth of JOY
unless he remains until 1890 or a.
M, the American fnancier wishes to
leave early that he may rise with the
growing cock.
Clothes OF the season attracted no.
tice. A sober-hued crowd, as regards
evening gowns, they were, but opera
cloaks were beautiful and gorgeous.
1t is greatly ito our credit that, with
such large western cities as St. Louis
and Chicago finding opera seasons un-
successful, Omaha's boxes, arena and
balconies were packed to their limit.
