 caused a sensation in Germany.
 Paris, June 12-President Wilson's note to Russia yesterday occupies a prominent position in the French newspapers. The general current of editorial opinion strongly approves of it.
 The Paris Journal Des Debate says the note is in reality a message to the Russian people and all the Allies. showing the indispensable necessity of all states based upon liberal prin- ciples pursuing the war until victory establishes this liberal principle throughout the world and puts an end to autocracy. It continues:
 'tMr. Wilson shows that the entire world caught in the meshes of Ger manic intrigue, is absolutely compelled to break the chains in order to liberate itself. It is necessary, he demon strates, either to vanquish or to sub- init to autocracy, that we either must dominate or be dominated. MT. Wilson unrnasks the sophism of establishing peace on the basis of the status quo ante bellum. While he is against conquest, he requires the lighting of wrongs and guarantees against their renewal; he wishes no people to. be forced to accept sov- ereignty it rejects. While he cites no country and names no sovereignty, yet each nationality affected will readily understand his meaning" The Paris Temps gives prominent place to the note, but makes no com ment on it. La sPresse says:
 'The document has an elevated philosophic character. which is mark ed by moderation of purposes ex- pressed and a firm intention of attain ing those purposes.
 Georges Berthoulat says in La Li- berte: President Wi1on' note to Russia | Is a compendium of universal democ- l racy that the American republic in- vftes Russia to study.

elizabeth Jordan Writes on the Desire to Look Ones Bes
Dear Miss Jordan:

Dear Miss Jordan:
Ii It vanity to want to look ones
best7 always try to look my
best, because 1 think I ought to.
The result Is / am accused of be-
ing vain and OF thinking entirely
too much about my appearance.
Please write about this.
JULIA B.
THE desire to look ones best,
Julia, is a natural and COM
mendable desire. Of course,
it can be carried to extremes, and,
equally of course, it sometimes is.
myself know several young girls
whose biggest interests in life are
their clothes and their compilations.
They talk of nothing else, and they
seem to think Of nothing else
except, of course, Of the effect OF
their clothes and their compilations
on the men and women they meet
Such girls are not commendable.
One feels a natural and a strong
contempt for them.
On the other hand, one feels an
equal contempt for the girl who is
SO indolent or so stupid that she
lets herself ego to seed"
And one feels an almost equal
contempt for those noble souls we
occasionally meet whose thoughts
are SO centered on what they call
'higher things" that they cannot
pay attention to the small but i'm
portant details of their appearance.
l know one woman whose mind
is so exclusively given to public
service" that she forgets to clean
her finger nails. l know another
who actually boasts that she has
not had time to shampoo her hair
for three months! And there are
dozens of women rushing painting
ly from one committee meeting to
another whose clothing looks as if
it had been thrown on them.
Such women may be doing good
work, but they are making almost
as big a mistake as the vain little
creature who prinks for hours be-
fore her looking glass.
The Right Course Lies Between
These Two Extremes.
The right course, Julia, as you
have suspected. lies between these
two extremes. There is no disput-
ing the fact that our personal
appearance is either an asset or a
handicap in our work in life, what
ever that work may be. There is
no disputing the fact that. con-
sciously or unconsciOusly, we our
selves are affected by the way we
look and that It also Affects our
manner with othsrS.

let every morning and another at
night. But it is worth while; for
she is 30 radiantly clean that she
makes most observers feel posi-
lively "grubby" by comparison.
She is a Joy to the eye.
Incidentally, she is the least
self-conscious woman / know, and
the least vain. From the time she
leaves her little room in the morn
ing until she returns to it at night
she never thinks Of her appear
ance. She knows it is sll right
It is of her mind.
Contrast this with q case /
heard of the other day. A GER
tain woman of wealth and infiu-
ence had been having a business
correspondence with another wo-
man-the latter a beginner in a
new field of work.
The woman of influence became
interested in her unknown CORES
pondent and went to see her, with
the intention of giving her very
definite help in upbuilding her en-
terprise.
The Woman Who Lost Her
Chance-and Why.
81 found her in soiled
sweater the influential woman
explained to me, "worn over a
stained black velveteen skirt. She
had a stock Of really beautiful
things, but they were In hopeless
confusion. She could not find half
the things she wanted to show me.
And when she did find them l
hated to see her touch them with
her grimy hands. Within nve
minutes after l got there real
lied that no amount Of backing
would make that woman sue
cess. She had neither system nor
self-respect."
There is a lesson in that cpl
sode, which 1 need not point out
l mention it, Julia. to confirm your
suspicion that your theory is right
and that the time a girl spends IN
making the best Of herself" is
time well spent.
But don't spend it ell on the
body, Julia. Remember that 1t IS
at least equally important to give
a certain part Of every day to the
improvement of your mind and OF
your soull
l shall have something to say
about that later on.

In ordinary conditions we are
at ease, or we are i'll at ease, in
proportion to the care we have de-
voted to our toilets that morning.
If we know that we have started
out immaculate from head to foot,
if we know there is nothing about
US that offends the eye, or calls
for correction, we can then dis
miss ourselves from our own
minds, as it were, and center those
minds on the higher things" our
friends love to talk about
Hard to Center on "Higher
Things" With Buttons OF
Ones Shoes.
Personally, l frankly confess
that it would be difficult for me TO
center my attention on higher
things" if / knew there were but
tons off my shoes, or that my hair
was coming down, or that my lace
collar was awry. With these de-
tails in order, l can forget them
and concentrate on higher things
as easily as the next woman.
And have noticed again and
again that the frowsy woman, has

she confronts her more carefully

Where Your Body Came From

The heart, working ceaseessly pumps the blood that

We want to suggest this idea to you.
Since the body is gathered from all parts Of the world
from all of little speck of the material universe
should not be scattered at DEATH as was gathered dur

Is not the destruction of the body by fire far better than
hideous burial in the earth?
The body that fire destroys goes back to nature, in
stanty reduced to its original elements Is such dis
position of the body in accord with natures laws and
with respect for the dead than present custom?
Would not be pleasaner to think that one we cared
for had gone back to the air. with only handful OF ashes
remaining than to think Of the dark Close lonesome grave
