SOCIETY


committees, and interesting stories are
ahoat concerning affairs that have only !
Seen whispered over the teacups II
Is true all over the country. We arc |
so beautifully human that we cannot
TO save our lives keep from that good
right hand OF ours what tho left one |
has Leen busy about all season. and |
you hear various versions OF MRS. So !
and sos committee never have gotten
tho crcdi: for tho wonderful work II !
has do:,t" Isn't 1t strange that they !
should care who gets the credit. just
so the 'vori. has been accomplished.
There weietrying hours-to be faced
and s woctul need TO be met. and right
happily did the women put their shoul-
ders TO the wheel for service, and sac
riiice, and Il seems such crying shame |
that some OF them are willing 10 spoil |
the whole splendid spirit OF II all by
me desire TO be accredited before the |
world.
In many cases II had become laugh
able. and certainly 1t is almost as hard
10 reason about and understand as TO
hSurc on the psychology OF the fact
that woman paints her face. when
she knows exactly how long her com
p!eIion will weather such treatment
and exactly what withcred looking
treatment. One does many kind deeds
FOR the love OF service, not for the
stars that will dot the card to be pre- |
scented to tn, public gaze. True enough |
;hat honor to whom honor is due for
hose who serve and sacrifice, but let |
tho public seek out the prophet OF the |
generation and Irvine his wreath. II
is hardly the occasion to so making
y small tempest in teapot because |
ones name has been omitted or ones
committee fails 10 receive some spe-
cial com endation for the spiendid !
work that 4, has done. Mr.. Sunday
put it In very naive fashion Thurs
day before the tremendous audience
that packed the woman's Club TO hear
him some people are SO anxious to
he big and phila nthropic and TO serve !
the world that they don't care a rap
abou; the person they are serving.
The work has been such a marvellous
tine thing that one is fairly sicSened
with the reports OF chickering's here
and there about such rid!culously small
things. The theory Of the ancients OF
the music Of tile spheres was lovely
one, the movement OF each planet and
star in It's separate place making
harmony too delicate and subtle Tor
human ears; surely the women OF the
did capabIlity should be able to finish
that work without having to have the
credit for Il emblazoned for the world
Ito read. The ancient who was sup
posed TO have evolved the theory OF
the music OF the spheres Is commonly
reported TO have iectuycG to his 1ol-
lowers from behind a curtain. whether
tho curtain promoted harmony. one mas
not been told. but surely closed doors
ot committees have wrought strange
things.
To serve and sacrifice has been the
work OF the women in all the tremen-
dous war work done here and through
out the country What difference can
1, possibly make whose committee did
what; so that the work was we'll done
,ud The soidiers and sailors helped in
every possible way. The play is The
ming and the mechanics OF IL should
not be visible TO the audience, lest even
the stars shine dowI tribe ta"drii!
upon the restless world.
