HAPPY IN SERVICE
WHERE WOMAN REALLY FINDS
HER HIGHEST JOY.
Ambition and Success, According to
Writer, May Give Peculiar Salts
factlan, but Not Always the
Greatest Happiness.

{ + W
Who is the happiest woman in the
world? Is it the woman who has writ
ten a successful book, or painted q
great picture, or done some other note
worthy thing to bring her into the
public eye?
No, far from it. Fame never yet
made any human creature truly happy.
On the contrary, it usually seeks to
spoil his peace of mind; it interrupts
his private life and makes all sortG
of insolent demands on his time and
thought.
When you are famous you belong to
the public, you cease to belong to the
little private. circle of those who love
you. i
"Oh, for a quiet hour to sit down
and read a book with my family"
sighed a man who is famous on two
continents. "But, no, belong to the
public, and the public does not give
me time to live" tsssss:.assi ~
Ask any woman who is doing what
the world calls great things, and she

happy in having satisfied her desire to
achieve some particular thing; but IL
her face glows and she cries joyfully,
II am the happiest woman in the
world!" you may come to one of two
conclusions: either she is very, very
new at her Accomplishment, the reac-
ton is yet to come, or else it is some
more intimate, more personal joy than
either her book or her picture that
gives the real crown to her happiness.
Ambition is beautiful and neces-
sary thing; but it is not happiness.
any more than a ten-mile tramp 10
rest. And it never yet satisfied the
heart that was made for joy-as what
woman's heart is not, even though her
joy gets half its bliss from sorrow. /
Nay, the happiest woman in the
world is not she who is filling some
lofty seat in the full glare of the pub
lie eye. 1t may be right for that wom-
an to be there. 1t was not meant that
all women should be happy to their
fullest capacity. Doubtless she is OF
great use there. But she is not the
happiest woman in the world.
The happiest woman in the world is
she who is contentedly serving those
she loves.
That is the truth in a nutshell, and
any honest woman who looks into her
own heart with understanding eyes
will confess it.
What is life. anyway, but servicef
All of us find that out sooner or later.
And the woman whose privilege it is
to minister to those she lOves-whose
place in the world is to make life glad
for those who love hers the hap
piest woman in it.
1t is privilege not given to all.
But let those to whom it is given
the sweet homemakers, the loved wives
and mothers and sisters-awake to
their joy while they yet have it, and
sing all through the glad days, for
theirs is the happiest lot on earth

improved poorhouses for Wounded.


A significant sign of the times Is
suggested in the ALLEGATION of certain
poorhouses throughout the United
Kingdom for the wounded soldiers.
In Dickens days the "Workus" was
Synonymous with q social pest. 1t
bred crime, disease, and FASTENED the
death of thousands. In recent years
the workhouse has arisen like palaces
all over the country, with spacious
grounds, walks, gardens, recreation
rooms, and fitted with every moderA
facility for insuring the prolongatiGA
and comfort of life. Now, they are
being equipped as hospitals for the
gallant British Tommy. Which fact
demonstrates the splendid service that
the old age pension act has been to
the country. The war, of course, had
given q temporary blow to poverty
Snd made it impossible for the casual
ward professional to trade upon the
lack of work and opportunity. Tho
name of poorhouse will be expunged
from the new hospitals.

RUSSIANS MAKE
ANOTHER DRIVE
Keep on Their Steady Advance
Toward Lemberg.
TEuTON LINE PUSHED BACK
Two Prolonged Advances Made To-
ward the GalIclan capitaI-5erlln
Admits Russians Have Pene-
trated German Lines.

London.-The two-pronged advance
Of the Russians on Lemberg is again
gathering full Roadway, and the Aus
tro- German armies Of Prince Leopold
Of Bavaria and Archduke Karl have
been pushed back. Both northeast
and southeast Of the Galician capital
the Russians have registered ad-
vancesI capturing according to the OIL
eial report issued in Petrforad, more
than 1000 prisoners. Russian gains
are admitted by Berlin.
The two main actions are being
waged in the region Of the Brody"
Krasne railway, about 80 miles north
east OF Lemberg, and the Brzezany
sector on the zlota Lipa River. 90
miles southeast Of the city.
In the former district the Russians
have pressed forward against heavy
resistance, taking about 1000 prisoners.
A Teuton position on the right bank
Of the zlots Lipa was carried on the
southeastern section Of the advance.
This new stroke of General Brus'
silof is believed to have been made to
forestall the offensive contemplated
by Field Marshal Won Hindenburg.
It puts the Teutons upon a strict de-
fensive in the Eastern theater, fol-
lowed close upon the heels of tentative
attacks by them which are believed
to have been the first movements OF
the contemplated push.
The Russian official statement says:
"In the neighborhood of the Brody-
Krausne Railway and to the south
wards, our troops, by heavy fighting
are forcing their way forward, the
enemy stubbornly resisting the ad-
vance. We have captured here So on
GERS and 1928 men OF the rank and
Ale.
"The fighting is turning to our
favor to the south Of Brzezany on the
River Tseniuvka and in the region OF
the highest on the right bank of the
Zlota Lipa. Here we captured part OF
the enemy position by assault, taking
l12 officers and 2,268 of the rank and
ale, as well as some machine guns.
Enemy counter attacks during the
night were frustrated by our fire."
Berlin's report on the operations
follows:
"The Russians at various places
have resumed their attacks. On both
sides Of the Brody-Lemberg Railway
and to the southwark as far as Ora
borna, near Zarkow. the Russians at
lacks were partially checked by cur
curtain Of are, while as many as seven
repeated charges were completely
broken up.
ION the southern wing OF this front
the Russians have obtained footing
In our FIRST line Of defence.
ION the front Of Archduke Karl, on
both sides of the Zlota Lipa violent
hand to hand fighting has been in
progress. In the angle between the
Ceniovka and the Zlota Lipa the Rus
SLAMS have advanced. Further to the
West the Turkish troops elected by
counter attacks the Russian detaeh-
ments which had forced their way into
their lines. Two hundred and thirty
prisoners were brought in"
