 The Great Tension.
 "I would say, then, to every woman: Relieve all tension, know yourself able to control, and give it rope, be it. your job, your pupil or client, your household, or the organization of which you have been made the head. It is the swinging stride not the stiff stand that keeps the muscles fit and gets the field surveyed. Don't let things get the better of your spirit, get your nerve.'
 Still another outstanding weak ness that we women, generally speak
 ing, may we'll look to, is that ot sec
 ing small instead of large. To be- gin with, it is an almost inveterate impulse that in too many cases be- comes habit and practice, with wo- man, to look at everything through
 the lens of the personal, to bring everything down to personalities, re- lating all issues and considerations to herself or the other person, instead of dealing with and disposing of them in the large, impersonal way that comes natural to a man but is equal ity possible to a woman. Then, too, she will persist in seeing and judg- ing other people in terms of herself, making the same deductions, de-
 manding the same reactions in them that would be suitable in her case ! but that may be far off the mark in the case of another. Like old Sam
 who found the lost horse where no
 one else had thought to look, by
 thinking where he'd go if he were
 horse, and looking there if we
 want to have the horse we must take
 his nature into consideration and en-
 ter into his imagination, not credit
 him with our own.
 l But woman is too prone to use
 the spotlight for Illuminating pur- poses, turning it upon her task in hand, her own small running course and sphere of action, or upon any
 thing or anybody that it pleases her
 fancy thus to view, and think that
 thus they are sufficiently seen, ignor-
 ing the fact that far any practical consideration nothing is truly seen
 until regarded in it's position and re- lation to it's surroundongs, surveyed in all it's connections. To direct the small end of a telescope upon an ob- ject will reveal the individual object with distinctness, but the preponder- : ance of sentiment cannot be far
 wrong in preferring the view that in. cludes surrounding area of setting ) Relative proportions and perspective arc as important q pant of anything . as the details and minutiae of it's con : istruction.
 : Hang On to Humor.
 7 "Whcther women will agree with l me in the foregoing or not, I expect , them all to agree when l say, as / believe, that no sphere is complete without the. feminine. Moreover, to r masculine it is to neutralize it's val ] ue. To every feminine weakness l there is converse strength that is : just as truly feminine. To strike the : balance, keep the poise between the r extremes is the commendable and <, emincntly desirable thing. Not to let spontaneity degenerate into rashncss l or indiscretion nor yet to go to seed , in an air of affected impulsiveness; l not to counterfeit dignity and self g respect with that pretty sense of self. f important which is all to prevalent; : to be faithful and earnest without e intolerance or ungraciousness; te e find exercise for the distinctly fem mine rather in quickness of intui' r Etion and tact to sense and smooth out : difficulties than in capacity to com
