SIDE TALKS
So Busy.
BY RUTH CAMERON

E 'I'm so busy,' said my neighbor the other day. that I don't know which way to turn
 She looked harassed and her voice was. rretful. One would have felt very sorry for her but for one thing. She wasn't forced into this position by poverty or illness or any of the in- evitables. She isn't widow support ing her children or an overdriven mother of sick babies.
 She is young middle-aged woman with plenty of time on her hands. And she, of her own accord has in one way or another filled that time so full that she "does not know which way to turn.''
 Why She Doesn't Know Which Way
 To Turn.
 She is president of this society and chairman of that committee. She has a finger in this lecture series and a whole hand in that woman's club. She belongs to @ bridge club and a neighborhood club and entertains or is entertained frequently at dinner. She Is interested in settlement work and likes to keep up with the latest books and plays.
 None of these things are bad in fhemS SolVCS. it is bad that the sum total instead of being happiness is unhappiness. You all know the old saying that if a man makes ten shillings week and spends ten shillings he may be happy but that if he spends ten shll- 1inps six pence he will always be mis- erable.
 Don't Try to Spend More Time Than You Have. l It is the same with time. If you try to spend even 8 little more thar your time income you get misery. When people are absolutely driver to overspend their time income, ont | pities them.
 But that is comparatively seldom , I know woman who keeps board ing house without a rpaid, yet she is l seldom oveEdriven. "I won't let my self be- she says, II have simply dropped the interests I hadn't time

Janet Stedman carried as if photo graphed upon the retina of her eye the picture she had seen as she en- tered the great hall. In a normal state of mind, seeing her husband with Lucy Benton, the illustrator of his books, would not have struck her with agony. But Janet was hideously over wrought. She viewed nothing nor mally. Her western speaking trip had been one horrible struggle to keep her working hours free from thoughts Of her own unhappiness. The sudden rush back to New York to preside at @ gathering such as now confronted her was almost more than she could bear of added responsibility.
 And now, as if to mock her with the impossibility of escape even for an hour from her personal problem, there were Walt and Lucy, arm in arm-living symbol of harmony and true partnership! It did not occur to Janet that the picture she presented as she stepped from Roy Nicolls h- mousine filled Walters heart with even greater bitterness.
 Inside the hall Janet's duties as presiding officer wrenched her mlnd temporarily from her own problems. From long practice, she was able to go through the motions of welcome, congratulation and other courtesies due the distinguished feminist from England. 1t was not until the meet ing actually opened that it came over Janet with a rush of terror that she was physically and mentally incap- able of making the introductory ad-- dress.
 In panic she realized she could not control her thoughts. She could re- member nothing but Walt and Lucy Walt and Lucy-Walt and Lucy! Her cheeks famed with the effort to con- centfate. Her hands grew icy cold. Her throat went dry. As from 9 dis tance she heard Nicoll's voice: "All ready, Janet" Dimply she saw him look at her and nod his head as sig nal to begin.
 On limbs that seemed made of tim foil. Janet rose and stepped forward on the brilliantly lighted platform. Twice she moistened her lips and swallowed. At last came her voice, and, with the sound of it, a little con- f1dence.
 Habit hslped her. So long as she kept to the more or less stereotyped formula of remarks such as precede the speaker of the evening all went well. But it was on the program that

for. It doesn't pay to tear yourself into bits.'
 But the Busy-ness is Not Vital.
 And how often one hears people speak of being so busy they don't know which way to turn Cor words to that effect) when the busy-ness is of their own creating,--and not vital.
 It is good to keep abreast of the times to try to help the world along by philanthropic work, it is good to meet often with ones friends. But it is not good to try to do so many things that they overlap and leave no time in which to call ones soul ones own and to possess it in peace. If you crowd all being alone out of your life, you crowd God out, and how rare it is to find a soul still enough to hear God speak,"

BOMBS HAD NOTHING ON THESE.

London, Feb. 3.-Despite the scar city of eggs and the great demand for them there are still in warehouses thousands of cases of American eggs left over from last spring. according z to a wholesale egg merchant. He says this is due to the fact that the American eggs fell into disfavor with the public because it was found that they burst when boiled. Their ex- plosive quality results, he says, from the method adopted for their preser- vation. 'In one form or another" he adds, "I have no doubt the British public will yet eat these eggs"
