Now, il came TO pass that I met
another youth. who was more cum
bersome in a drawing-room than a
bumble-bee in the milk. and shyer
amidst a multitude OF women than a
Greek professor at a dancing party.
And, when I found myself alone in
the moonlight with him, said, 'Ho-
humI'
Yet, 10, he spake with the tongue
Of angels and OF nightingales; and
his handclasp was more thrilling
than a real surprise at Christmas.
And 1t was as though I were the
only woman in the world. and there
never had been one before!
For subtility and boldness, and
tenderness. and ardor were mixed in
his wooing, as a perfect cocktail
which goeth to the head, causing
much giddiness.
And 1 knew him, at once, for what
he was-even the great lover!
Verify, verify. in all the days OF
thy life, no two men shall WOO thee,
alike. For one man shall snatch thy
kisses as though he had snatched
thy rings; and another shall take
them as casually as he lighteth a
cigaret; and another shall receive
them as one that receiveth a bene-
diction.
But a perfect lover is harder 10
find than u perfect climate, and
more comforting TO the spirit than
a becoming hat.

Patriotism made practical.
Harold Bell Wright, whose book

Patriotism that was applied TO

I found Wright at the Waldorf
conference with his publisher over
his new book, Helen OF the Old

Wright insists the public wants
wholesome literature.
Aside from the personal moral
uplift and satisfaction in purveying
high ideals, there IS 10 question that
the author who writes 10 satisfy a
soul hunger or a personal or public
need Is the financial winner.

CHIN4'S POSITION.

The inclusion OF China in Presr Hardings nvi-
tauons the disarmament conference is an indica-
ton OF how important part the discussion OF thu
Pacific and far eastern questions TO play in the
negotiations.
As the least mllitaristc OF nations. China has but
an academic interest in the question OF disarma-
ment. But she has a vital interest in any decisions
that are taken which directly or indirectly anect
the future policies Of America. Great Britain and
japan In The Pacific.
IL would be folly TO attempt 20 arrive at these
decisions without giving China chance TO stale
her case.
That Prest Harding has not committed this folly
one OF the good auguries for the success OF tho
great venture he has undertaken.

World Association and World League

Some persons will doubtless find it difficult to
distinguish between the Wilson League of Nations and
the Harding Association of Nations. Many of the sup
will jump to the conclusion that the chief differ
ence is that one was Democratic plan and the other
a Republican plan.
Such however is not the case. The difference in
name implies a radical difference in principle. The
Harding plan is not a confession that the Versailles
covenant something that the world must have
under different name, but is rather demonstration
that the objections to the Wilson plan real and
genuine and that the faults and dangers of that plan
may be avoided
The essential difference is that the Versailles
together, while the Harding proposition is for plan
by which the nations act together To persons
the difference may Of little moment but it is
that involves the principles of national sovereignty and
independence
Under the Wilson plan there at least a moral
obligation that the United States would participate in
whatever undertakings approved by the council
Of the League.
Under the Harding plan the nations would meet
in conference independent soveregns, without obl
cations and entanglements There would be no such
complicated machinery provided by the covenant
of the League, but each nation would be free at all
times to act according to its judgment Of what ID
best for is,lf and for the common interests Of ALL
Such arrangement falls far short Of the compli-
acted and comprehensive provisions Of the covenant but
it has the supreme merits of simplicity and practi-
csblity. 1t proposes, in short, that the nations shall
continue to do, regular practice what they have
been doing at Washington in the past two weeks.
The conference has already brought results Of
transcendent and astounding importance That
is the possible argument in favor Of continuing along
the lines.
