Is drifting slowly 20 close

For, though II brings the noisy Fourth
fnd other days OF passing worth,
July is not a month TO grieye
Us greatly when its due TO leave
Because it is a month replete
With sultry days and prickly heat.
And perspiration by the quart
When one would gambol or cavort,
And chigres in the waving grass,
Mosquitoes moving in a mass.
And other lines OF insect pest.
It's going doesn't mar our rest.
Although we readily admit
When winter comes TO play its Skit,
And man has chilblanS in his shoes,
And plumbers come TO claim their dues.
And frost is on the window pane,
Nor any gas within the main,
We may look back across the year,
And wish July would reappear.

THE BLUE MOON. BY David Ander-
son. Indianapolis: The Bobbs- Merrill
Company.
This is a rafting good story con-
corning the fresh-water pearl in
dustry OF Indiana "The Blue Moon"
is a magnificent pearl, and about its
discovery, sale, and subsequent theft
the author has written an absorb
ing story, wherein the action moves
with such swiftness and Intensity
that the reader is fairly swept along
with it. There is just enough gun
play and violence to create a
frontier atmosphere the time is
just after the Mexican war), and
the several highly dramatic episodes
in the development OF a very com
plicated plot are relieved by nice
ly handled love interest.
AS a tale of love, ambition,
bravery, and quite a bit Of the
mysterious. THE Blue Moon" will
hold the attention of the reader so
closely that it seems, If anything,
too short, though this is probably a
virtue in view of the state OF the
print paper market

Mrs. Woodrow Writes of =
A WOman's World as O.
IOpsy- TurUey Place
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW.

TALk to a man-any man In
the world-for ten minutes.
and what Is the subject OF
his conversation? Work.
Within that ten minutes he will
either talk about what is being
done or what ought to be done.
what he Is doing Or what he wants
to do, or what some one else is
doing or what some one else ought
to do.
Talk TO q woman-any woman
in the world-for ten minutes, and
what does she talk about? Trouble.
She complains about this or that.
She either discourses on her own
or some one eIse's illness or griefs
OF worries. She dilates on some
misfortune which has befallen
either herself or her friends.
These are her customary themes.
am not speaking now Of those
souls, bewildered, dismayed and
discouraged in those black hours
which come in all lives, when the
instinct Is to reach out for help
and sympathy and comfort, but of
the daily conversation of women
who are In the main quite COM
Portable and who have every reas-
son to be happy II they would only
allow themselves that privilege
For these reasons the average
man is . more agreeable compan-
ION than the average woman And
since II seems necessary. to have
some sort OF . fetish, work Is GER
tsinly a far better one than worry.
To be always thinking of work,
TO have ones mind constantly oc-
cupied with the act of doing in
stead of the art of being, is no
doubt q spiritual and mental loss;
but II IL q thousand times better
for the individual than constantly
TO be contemplating some physical,
mental, or spiritual lack, and wall
ing about 1t
II has been said that women
Esye a genius for making them
selves miserable, and there is moro
than a mere grain Of truth in II
] think IL was the late DR.. Weir
Mitchell who said, that feminine
nerves had wrecked more homes
than drink Masculine nerves have
IN the past. and more or less in the
present, found an outlet in drink:
feminine nerves have had TO 1nd
their relief from tension in tears
and temper. All things being
equal, IL would be difficult to choose
between the two. One is about as
bad as the other.
The Washington times., 1919-11-17

for her health, and therefore too
many expensive diseases, and as a
final consequence of these "bless-
ings" too much ennui and discon-
tent.
On the other hand, IL a girl wasn't
lucky enough to get a good husband
and provider, she had to suffer for his
incompetence, mistakes and failures,
and either grin and bear her lot or
else be shuffled about as a depend
ent among people who regarded her
and her children as more or less of
an unwelcome burden.
And the woman who drew a lucky
number in the great marriage lot
terry was considered success,
whereas the woman who drew a
blank was looked upon as a failure.
Unfair? Certainly, and will re-
main so until a mans world" and
a "woman's world" are merged in
"man's and woman's world"
Parents will then understand that
their first duty to the child Is to
promote and maintain it's health.
Their next duty is to study it's pro-
clivities and tendencies. and see
that it is trained to follow some
congenial, self-supportinig avoca-
tion.
