4 n but that she's awfully lucky
to have a man offer her one.
That womans sphere is marriage
but that she should never think
about it, except in the beautiful alb
stract, until some man mentions 1t
to her.
That woman was made for love"
but that it is "unWomanly" and
unreasonable for her to love any man
until he asks her to.
That woman's first duty is to be
beautiful-but that she should scorn
aids to beauty if the Lord didn't
make her that way.
That she would cultivate her mind
and then be content to concentrate
it all no what to feed man for din
ner.
That she would have sweet,
abiding faith in men-buN never take
one of them seriously in a sentiment
tai affair. until he tells her to.
That she should have beautiful
ideals-yet consider them all fulfilled
when she succeeds in marrying a fat
little man with a bald spot, double
chin, and passion for pinochle.
That she should be indignant when
a man tries to kiss her-and disap-
pointed when he doesn't.
That she should anguish when he
doesn't propose to her-and drop

does.
That she should dream Of the COM
ing of her Prince Charming-but
never go out and grab the bride of
his horse, when she sees him riding
straight past.
That she should yearn and yearn
and yearn for husband-but never
make the slightest effort to capture
one.
That, when she promises to Glove
and honor" a man, she should go
right on doing it, automatically, no
matter what he does to discourage
her.
That she should tie man to her
forever-by giving him all the rope
he wants.
That she should agree with all a
mans opinions, approve of all his
ways, and applaud all his jokes-yet
| never flatter him or deceive him.
That she should regard marriage as
matter of blind luck, husband as
a heaven-Sent blessing, and spinster-
| hood as her own fault.
That she should play the game OF
| life like a dead game little sport,
! gracefully, skillfully, successfully
with all the cards stacked againsi
| her.
That she should be able to swim
without going near the water. to
cook without lighting the fire and tC
dance through life like dryad-witt
chain ~and ball attached to her an,

And then-and then-when she
does all these things.
He wonders why the Lord made
her such a human paradox"

A T1MID and bashfuL young girl
~ moaned to me the other day

say to people.

A T1MID and bashfub young girl
N moaned to me the other day
( \ that she never knew what to
say to people.
To which, 1 replied:
my child, there's just one infal-
1ible rule for dealing with your fell
low creatures. It's a very old rule,
and it is called the Golden Rule, and
it works just as effectually CONVEX
sationally as it does ethically.
do unto others as you would have
them do to you, and say to them the
kind of things you would like them
to say to you.
when in doubt try out your lit
tie speech on yourself. If it sounds
good to you be sure it will sound
John or Tom. If your words bring
kindly glow to your own heart,
and make the day seem brighter anu
cheerier, do not doubt that they will
have the same happy effect on any
one else to whom you hand out that
optimistic line of chatter.
"All humanity, my dear, is cut off
of the same bolt of cloth, and while
we may be made up in different de-
signs and different patterns, down al
bottom we are of the very same weave
and wool. The thing that pleases
one pleases all. The thing that
soothes one, soothes all, and con-
versely, the thing that initiates one
and hurts and wounds one, wounds
all.
take your own little self as a prRtty
reliable guide in deciding what you
shall say, and refrain from saying, to
other people.
Suppose, for instance, we take
the matter Of what is called plain
speaking.' A great many people pride
tx emSelves upon saying exactly what
they think, no matter how brutal it
is, or how much they hurt another
by so doing.
"If you have a new hat they will
tell you that it is ten years too young
for you and that you look like a ig-
ure of fun in it. If you sing out
of tune they call your attention, and
everybody else's attention to it. If
you are i'll, they tell you how badly
you look, and how sallow your COM
pleXion is.
DO you suppose that these peo-
pie would ever make such cruel
| speeches if they tried them out first
on themselves? They would not.
For you will observe as you go
| through life that the very people who
| show the least regard for the feel
| ings of others, are the most tender
| of their own.
| Therefore, my dear, before you
! tell Mary that blue makes her skin
| look like a pumpkin, or Sally that
| she dances as if she had learned to
| two-step in school Of correspond
ence. just think how you would like
! it if Mary and Sally spoiled your
! pleasure in your new frock, and made
| you afraid and ashamed to ever get
on another ball room floor.
IF you will, you will keep silent
| about your friends defects, and in
stead you will say something nice
| that you can truly say to Mary about
! her lovely fan, or to Sally about the
| way she does her hair. You can be
| pleasantly honest as we'll as IN
| pleasantly so, you know.
| Leave the criticising to others.
| You are not ordained by Heaven to
run the world and supervise your

friends taste. Never forget that the
hammer is a hideous implement in
any woman's hands and that nobody
loves a knocker.
When you are tempted to be
smart and sarcastic try out your
sharp speeches on yourself. You
can't be so superhumanly vain and
conceited as not to know that you
have pecularities and weaknesses
about which any wag could be funny
If he or she chose you as a target
for ridfcule.
Cant you see yourself wr1the as
the shots strike home? Can't you
feel your face flame as you hear the
laughs at your expense Can't you
feel the dull, hopeless misery that
makes you want to go off and hide
yourself and die, as you realize that
the people whom you thought admir-
ed you, are making a mock of you?
'Rfdicule is the cheapest form of
wit. Even fool can use it, but no
human being would ever apply it to
another if he had first applied it to
himself.
when you feel grouchy, and Coca
planning, and as if the world h(.1
used you i'll, try telling your troubles
anybody else.
do you enjoy hearing the litany
of other peoples woes? Is it your
| idea of passing a pleasant hour to
! listen TO all the piker annoyances
that have befallen some friend? Do
you feel cheered and uplifted after
some girl has wept all over your
! fresh blouse because she has had a
quarrel with her best beau?
You do not. You would go far
could scream when you are called on
! to hear over again for the millionth
time all about how Caroline's moth
er doesn't understand her, and how
Myrtle's boss brutally criticised her
fiance is, and fresh details of Katie's
warfare with her landlady.
well, then, just reflect that other
| people enjoy hearing about your pri-
waite worries just exactly as much as
you do listening to the illiad of their
woes. Each of us have troubles
enough of our own. without having
those of our friends dumped on MS,
and it's brave and gallant and hui
man thing to bear our own loads in
| silence.
Finally, my dear. recall the things
people say to you that make you
feel as if the sun had suddenly
burst through the clouds, the things
that cheer you, that brace you up
that make you think that life is
worth while, and that give you the
| courage to go on.
"a jolly little story; word Of de-
served praise; a little sympathy and
| understanding, a warm thank you
for some favor done; the recalling of
! something worth while you did in the
past; an inquiry after some one near
and dear to you; perhaps just some
one remembering some taste or habit
of yours.
Eff these things make you happy.
and they do, why, just pass them
on to ther people. If you will, you
need never be at loss to know what
to say. Just try your conversation
out on yourself and If it makes a
hit with you, it has all the elements
of general popularity in It,"

this paper every Monday, Wednesday

THE FORTUNE

wv ASilNGION, u. u, May 0V
" pale woman with the alert
and wary eyes which be-
longs to men and women and other
animals that live by wit and cum
ming. She is curious being, half
fraud and half fanatic. The method
by which she peers into your future
is an absurdly simple trick, easily
| analysed and easily defeated. And
yet beyond a doubt she more than
half believes in her own supernatural
powers.
She tells you that she is a prophet
like the prophets of old and especial
ly like Daniel, and that she has three
angel guides who tell her Of the flu
ture, and through whom she COM
municates with the dead. Her voice
rises dramatically and her green
eyes roll as she tells you how the
secrets of the universe are revealed
to her power. Then her voice sinks
TO a weird low tone as she tells you
that she has enemies, not less than
fifty of them, and that they are
fighting her through the black astral
black astral they are able to hover
about her unseen. She hears them
in her room at night; they move
furniture and rustic curtains. She
feels the cold wind of their passing
and the faint disturbing shock of
thelr evil SuBgeSIlonS' But is size
afraid of them? Not she. She re-
peats a certain formula and hurls
into them with all the force of her
mighty will her own counter su:;-
gestion and they are confounded and
fly away moaning.
A silly old woman, you will say,
with a touch of paranoia taking the
form Of persecutionaI delusions. True
enough. Then why write a story
about her? Because she is a part of
almost every American community,
factor in our national life. There
all kinds of people make it. This
woman, for example, claims that So
ciety women and members of con-
gress are among her patrons. She
may lie about this, but certain it is
that taxtcabs and automobiles bear
people to her door, and they pay
from 50 to S. each to listen to her
strange rigamarole. She is full
brother to the medicine man Of the
red savage and in essence exactly
the same thing as the voodoo woman

This breaking away from cotton tyranny
his new emphasis upon food production is
the outstanding event of the decade in the
South's agriculture and hence the most po-
tent fact in her economic life.
But this happy reconstruction has just
begun. The prosperity of the last five years
is merely token of richer bounties that
will come if diversified farming, with the
stress on food production, goes forward
apace. Now more than ever before necessity
urges and opportunity beckons the South
to lay larger store by food crops and an
imal husbandry. This she must do to avert
boil weevil disaster; and this she will do if
she follows the plainest guides to fortune.

"A States, according to reports from the

some regions the shortage is much more
pronounced; Massachusetts, for example, has

in parts of the West there has been a steep
decline. In the South the situation is Sc

WALTER HAGEN MAY
 NOT DEFEND TITLE
Metropolitan Golf Tourney Date
 Conflicts.
copyr'shs ". Y. TrSsees f~s.

New York, Feb. 21.-By selecting the second week of July for it's opening championship the Me1ropoI- tan Golf association has left so very little of margin between that event and the British open that there IS just a possibility that Walter Hagen will not defend his title. and that
 neither the American professionals such as Jim Barnes. Jack Hutchinson and Tom McNamara. who are going over to England. or the British eX- pertS who are coming here, Will be seen in action in that particular tournament. Possibly the M. C. \. has not acted without first giving con- sideration to the date of the British open at Deal, but as it has been an- nounced that that event will begin on June 2S this would make it nec- cssary for the Americans and British experts to start this way the end of that week at the very latest if they are to take part in the met play. If on the other hand they should
 decide to stay over into the follow
 ing week it will be next to impos- sibIe for them to arrive here in time to compete for the honors which are now held by Hagen.
 { Fortunately word has been received from England that Harry Fardon, Edward Ray, George Duncan and Abe Mitchell practically have completed their plans to take their departure for | the United States immediately after the conclusion of the British open 1 championship. This is where the ray of hope begins to filter through 1 the dark clouds of doubt. June 2S i will fall on Monday. so by Satur- day of that week Nardon. Ray, Dun- | can and Mitchell should be aboard , their steamship, bag and baggage, : ready for the voyage and all without 1 having had to hustle unduly. Tha, i arrangement would allow them one i full week to make the transatlantic ! crossing and then few days besides ! to regain their land legs and famil- i iarize themselves with the course i over which the Metropolitan cham ; pionship is to be played.
 i It is to be supposed that the Am eri ! cans will return with the British con i tingeut, so while there is just d pos
 sibility that the metropolitan oper | championship this year will have t | get along without the titlehOlder an( | the other big guns" there is, on tn
 contrary, the prospect of the even
 seeing the greatest muster of artiller.
 that was ever opened up along tn | American golhng front.
