of today forget their mental strug-
giles, their spiritual isolation?
Women, you aver, cannot keep
secrets. ITO trust women with the
contents of your heart is like throw
ing gold upon the street and ex-
pecting to find it there inviolate."
Every Woman. Eventually
Turns to Her Own Sex
Not only history but life refutes
that. You remember when Mrs.
Wharton, a great realist and a con-
summate artist, portrayed Lily Bart.
1t was the study of a young wo-
man who lived only for the great
world" and clung passionately to
it's fringes. And yet when there
fell into her hands the compromis-
ing letters written by the woman
who had ruined her House of
Mirth" she knew that she had only
to show them to a few friends and
she herself would be reinstated, her
reputation unsmirched. But she
could not do it. Some fastidious-
ness of nature, some fineness of
spiritual grain made it easier for
her to take chloral and die rather
than stoop to a lowering revenge.
Every woman who has lived much
in the world knows certain very
damaging facts about others. Some
have been whispered to her in con-
fidences, some have come to her
through strange channels; it is in
her power to mar some life ire
trievably. And yet how rarely, how
very rarely that power is used
What is it that withholds us, if we
are, az you say, "all vanity, all iriv-
olity, all mendacity?"
You deny to women a sense of
honor, and claim that it is the ex-
elusive property of men. I MAIN
tain that if you choose your women
of the same mental type as the
men of whom you speak, you will
find that their code of honor in
regard to the sacredness of conf
dence and their adherence to It is
quite as strict.
You prefer men to women as
your intimate friends and conf
dants. So do many women. So
do l. But let us not blink facts
or becloud statements. We do so
because there is more interest, more
color, more charm in association
with the other sex than with our
own.
An0 Dy the same token, most
men prefer to make women the
confidants of their business, pro-
fessional and personal Secrets"
But that merely proves that a
friendship with a man, no matter
now platonlc, has an indefinable
quality that is lacking in a friend
ship with a woman. 1t does not
prove that women are unworthy of
the deepest, truest, most disinter-
ested friendships for their own sex.
There come moments in every
woman's life when she turns to her
own sex. Only a woman can un-
derstand and speak her language
then. The cry of her heart is, "I
want my mother!" And, Miss Gard
en-, the woman who has not known
the sustaining solace, the heavenly
kindness that women can show to
women is indeed poor.

CELEBRITIES AND SLEEP

The GIT or sleep has been an asset
of many great soldiers. Napoleon
likened his own mind to a series of
compartments, each the receptacle
of certain project. One after an
other he closed them, and at night
he shut down the last and instantly
slept. Gladstone declared ability to
sleep well his one. notable faculty,
but he had to cease thinking at 10
o'clock at night, otherwise 1 should
go mad" he added.
Wellington could sleep anywhere,
even in the face of the enemy. With
his foes advancing he would say,
Call me when they reach such and
such point" then, rolling himself
in his cloak, would forthwith snooze.
Hannibal is said to have been SINH
larly blest. He could abstain for
days and nights at need from rest,
but in a moment of leisure could curl
up on a rock and sleep like a door
mouse.

THEIR MARRIED LIFE"

Louise laughed merrily at this
| Helen. If you're not the sly one.
suppose you've forgotten how you
and Warren looked through the tele-
phone book"
And so you got book from the
| library. What did Bob have to say?"
Bob came home one night and
was sitting up reading it. OF course
he wanted to know what was read
ing, and / told him."
Il just know he hooted'
Did he? Well, he took the book
and said, I'm surprised at you
Louise. Haven't you any originality
AS If there weren't plenty of good
! names we coulo think of ourselves
without looking through a book"
"Of course there are, dear" 1 as
sented, "but it's more fun doing il
this way. You know how it is your
self, Helen?"
Helen nodded.
We'll, Bob just said that he
couldn't see it, and anyway it was
late. and he took the book away from
me and told me that l had no busi-
ness to be reading SO late, that !
should have gone to sleep hours
ago.
DO you always wait up for Bob
when he goes out?" Helen queried
| Away down in her heart Helen en-
! We'd Louise. Bob and Warren were
very much alike in disposition and
yet Louise managed Bob so beauti-
fully, and he seemed glad to accede
to her slightest wish. Things hadn't
| been that way before they were mar
ried, either, and so the credit for
management had to be given to
Louise.
Yes, I always do, but lately he
I has insisted that I go to bed before
he comes home. He hasn't been any
where in ages, excepting to the club
l think he really should go there and
see his friends. Too much of a do
mestic atmosphere isn't good for any
man; he gets restless"
We'll, go on" said Helen chang
ing the subject.
"Oh yes; we'll, 1 turned over obe-
diently and went to sleep, and it
seemed hours later when l awoke
to find Bob bending excitedly over
my bed. l was frightened for mo-
ment, because. he was whispering
Louise and 1 was sure something
had happened.
What do you Think" he ex-
claimed eXcitedly after 1 was sure
that everything was all right. I've
been out in the living room reading
that book, and I've found exactly
the name for the baby.
Helen screamed with laughter.
"Oh, Louise" she gasped between
laughs, isn't that just like a man."
And particularly like Bob and
Warren" put in Louise.
What did you say?" asked Helen.
"Oh, l asked him what the name
was, and he exclaimed, 'Damares;
isn't that a peach of name?"
We'll, it is" agreed Helen; 'it's
odd and fascinating"
"Of course it is" said Louise, but,
my dear, if l had chosen it, Bob
would have laughed at the idea and
insisted upon Sarah, or Margaret.
But, of course, am crazy about the
name, so the baby is to be called
Damares Shelby Curtis. Shelby is
one of my family names. I'm really
thankful that | got the book now; it
insures the baby of name that not
every one would think of; although
it is an old Bible name"

this interesting scrics.)

ILife'sProblems
| Are Discussed

My Dear Miss Garden: Il have
just read an article over your name
which stirred me to a great sur
prise. L never dreamed that to you
lowered with the divine gifts of
beauty and art, and genius and song
l could offer anything but my I'M
stinted admiration.
But now l cannot fail to express
to you my sympathy and, may 1
add, my pity.
In one of your opening para
graphs you say: IT am one of the
Few women in the world who can
lay claim to being genuinely modern
and yet opposed to all the various
invasive tendencies which have
come upon women in recent years"
That is very well-rounded state
ment; but just what does it mean?
To paraphrase Kipling, IT'S pretty,
but is it sense?" What is it to be
genuinely modern, and yet op-
posed to the invasive tendencies ?"
To be modern is to be in tune
with the thoughts and feelings of
your time, and these are naturally
invasive, or the world would come
to a srandstill.
Whet you say is on a par with
being recklessly discreet, or
"honorably dishonest" or "sanely
insane" 1t is a paradox.
l note. too. that you have reaf-
firmed all of the stock arguments
against the enfranchisement of wo-
men, which, summed up, amount
to this: That the suffrage should
be denied women because they are
not fitted for it.
If tbiS ic an oF
prejudices, of your emotional be-
liefs-you are too clever for them
to be your intellectual convictions
you have a perfect right to hold
and to voice them. But if you are
advancing them as arguments, you
will have to bolster them up some-
how, for they haven't leg to stand
on.
In a democracy the franchise is
not q privilege bestowed for merit
upon the few; it is a duty, an obli-
cation which devolves upon all the
citizens of that democracy, male
and female-else, we have not a
democracy.
l quote you again. There is only
oneq true reason for the modern
tendency in women, and that is
restlessness. Men have treated them
too well. They are too we'll fed
and we'll dressed and cared for, so
they have begun yelling for the
moon"
Isn't There Something of
Unrscst in Your Soul?
You, Miss Garden, have proved
yourself a woman of great poetic
imagination. That is demonstrated
by the tarious roles which you have
vitalizeo with the power and magne-
tism of your artistic soul. Isn't
there something in the fact of the
divine unrest of women which ap-
peals to that wonderful imagination?
Well dressed, well fed, cared for,
and yet not content to be entirely

from his sports or holidays He could

The value of malt is we'll known to
all physicians. 1t is a remarkable
tonic and tissue builder. Combined
with phosphorus and phosphates as
mental stamina, balances the blood
and aids the system to convert food
into living tissue. The old liquid
forms of malt are not pleasant or
contain alcohol, which produces a
needless stimulation always followed
by a dangerous and depressing reac-
tion. Phosphorated malt has the

A TrouSseau.
Daar Miss FaI

Dear MISS Il FalTlaX.
1 am to be married next February.
Can you tell me what my trousseau
should consist of? Am in moderate
circumstances and cannot afford any,
thing elaborate. A. WELLWISHE Err.
For an answer to your question it
would be well for you to write to the
editor of a fashion magazine. En-
close q stamped envelope for n per-
sonal reply and state just how much
you can afford to spend. 1 have
recently received q great many re-
quests just like yours-but an en-
gagged girl can hardly be called "1ove
lorn," can she?
"Shall I marry him? Dare I marry
him? believe that religion is no OBJ
stacIe at all; but his parents and
mine would break their hearts If we
were to marry. What shall 1 do?
In various and varying forms this
question comes to me again and
again each day. And 1 hardly dare
answer for the individuals. Theo-
retically, / would say that religion
is no barrier at all; but for practi-
cal purposes of everyday living this
fails of the truth.
Goodness and beauty and that love
of fellow men which is the love of
God made manifest are my idea of
real worship. There is no more per-
feet worship of our Maker than that
we show in our love of all His child
rem. over and over again both the
New and the Old Testament assure
us of this. So if l worship God in
nature and you worship Him in text
and creed-or | worship Him in the
churches and you find Him in your

enervated, not willing to sink to
the level of the house cat browsing
on it's sIlken pillow, or the toy dog
with it's embroidered blanket and its
jewelled collar, but still capable or
a vision still fired by dim dream
of service.
And your statement that, "Wo-
men have no steadfastness of pur-
pose, no adherence to principle.
What about the women who have
fought for the suffrage steadfastly,
unweariedly, in the face of con-
tinuous defeat for the past sixty
years and more?
Again you say: women who are
not free under our lenient rules Of
life are not wisely made free"
What made it possible for you to
follow your chosen profession, or
me to follow mine without con-
tumely. criticism, or breaking the
ties that bound us to family and
friends? 1t would not always have
been so. Turn back the pages of
history 1t was long before women
were permitted on the stage. Boys
enacted all female roles. And you
know the social consideration ac-
corded to "mummers," as they were
called.
And women writer's were objects
of derision. They wrote by stealth
Discovery amounted to social os-
tracism. They inspired no end of
merry iests because of their alleged
blue stockings and their ridiculous
pretensions to such an unfeminine
possession as brains.
That professional women enjoy
their present agreeable status is due
solely to their sisters of an older
time, who, through sheer brilliant
achievement, force of character
and unalterable purpose compelled
recognition and respect from a
scornful public. Dare the women

love of humanity-however devious
the paths we tread, they must lead
us to the same place If we are hon
est and sincere and true in our faith.
So for me, the fact that some one
I loved was of a different religion
would matter nothing at all from
the point of view of faith. Whether
he was sincere would be my stand
ard of measurement. Real religion
must have in it liberation, love -
that charity which Christ Himself
calls greater than hope or faith. If
/ condemn my brother for doing the
right as he sees tiff 1 call his sin
cerity wicked and base because it is
not my sincerity, 1 am forgetting
another rule: Judge not that ye be
not judged"
Now very simply I have tried to
make clear the fact that l believe
in the good of every faith, every
creed, every sect that is sincerely
practiced. With such love and toll

he cannot feel coldly superior to an
other believer.
Any one who holds sincerely to
this can safely link his or her life
with that of some one whose relig-
ious convictions are nothing like his
own-provided that other someone
is also tolerant.
Before two young people of diff
ferent faiths can make their par
ents adjust their wondering and un-
happy old souls to an acceptance OF
daughter or son who seems to
come from another world, they must
make sure if they do come from
other worlds. If the girl has toll

cornerstone of her faith-and If the
man has the same loving breadth of
vision, the difference of belief Is not
going to hold them apart. But fail

are likely to fail of finding happi-
ness,
