getting impatient. 1t is like a sick
man, to whom every day of pain is
so hard that he soon feels he has
been sick long, long time. The
world thinks that now. But if it
would stop to realize it, the time Of
the worlds sickness has not been
long, not as the world moves. To
the world few years are not much.
"The world is restless in many
ways-in politics, in philosophy, in
art, in literature. 1t is getting tired,
and there are always people who are
more tired than the rest. There are
always people who cannot get along
with the world, and when the world
is having trouble getting along with
itself, it will listen to them. Soon it
will get tired of them, too.

ing that the government shall do
everything, and this 'inventing' of
new old things that are easy to do,

the trouble to do things right or to
do them well?"

perity has dropped into it
like a huge rock into a tiny
pond and scattered it's contents to
the four subways.

Vanioads of the East Sides furni-

The prosperous pilgrims depart
and no successors plug the diminu-
tive gaps. Few of Europe's young
men or old or middle aged men are
going West, because the Old World

The fact is that the young folks are
swimming strongly in the food of
high wages.
Most Of these families have
three and more children. Most Of
these children work. They earn, not
$40 or $11 a week, as of old, but
$25 and $50. Incomes of families
that struggled along on the meagre

They give by far the largest share
of their earnings into the house.
"But they want some return.
Fashions looking like they came
from Paris by aeroplane do not
match with the undecorated, old
law tenements of the East Side. So
the girls demand finer and better
looking homes. The boys who were
in the army have new and more
healthful ideas about living. They
want good and modern sanitation
and plenty of light. Most of the
houses on the East Side were built
long ago. There has been little

which is which. One talks of democ-
racy, but it has none. The other is
at least honest. There is no human
lty in Bolshevism. There is no real
idealism in it. 1t is not democratic.
"lt will not last long, however. 1t
is a thing that will pass, though l
cannct guess how soon.
Z "That is true of this whole unrest
that we see in all countries, even in
Japan and America, which have suf-
fered least. A period of restlessness
like this is always followed by a
period of settling down and content
ment and quiet. 1t is not anything
to be greatly worried about. If
there is any idealism in it, any good,
that will last, but the grasping and
the trouble, making will not last.
1t is just as we'll to be optimistic
about it. The world has had many
things of the kind, and always they
leave little good and pass on. This
is just another of them"
"Then you think that the crisis in
the worlds unrest has passed."
He shook his head vigorously.
"No, no, ! would not say that. 1t

whose intentions were very close to
Gods. But as time has gone on and
each one has wanted this thing here
and that thing there, it has moved
further and further away from the
throne. Now it is quite a ways
away But God has still it's place
for it, and if this particular lot of
men do not come back there, there
will be others. After all, there is a
good deal of goodness in it,"
"You know, baron, that there are
a good many people in America who
say--some with pride and some with
condemnation-that it is America
that has been trying to put the
idealism into the peace conference,
and that this is the one thing she
has done. Do you think that is so?"
The baron smiled benehcently.
"lt is a good thing for America
to think she has been giving ideals
to the world" he answered. at is
a good thing for her to think that
she has a leadership of that kind.

These mental processes are cost

might cause the word artists who
