CIRCLES.
The circle is a most fascinating fig
ure Perhaps because it suggests no
end-and is a symbol of eternity.
Emerson takes this subject for one
of his most interesting and full-of-
thought essays.
Arthur Brisbane noted in one of his
articles recently that we are just be-
ginning to test ideas which the old
Chinese thinkers tried out several
thousand years ago, and failed in.
The truth is emphasized more and
more that We live in a civilization
which is but the faint impress of what
dozens of civilizations were long, long
ago
So that history itself is merely a
circular record.
Every day, every year we come back
to points the world has passed, be-
fore. Perhaps our experiences at such
times are much more intensified, but
the fact remains that we keep doing
over and over again the problems
which others have worked out in the
past
The main and important task is to
bring to each experience a little new
light that may make life's progressive,
circular path wider and more beauti

rather filling out an existence than
adding to it.
But in this filling process if we
make ourselves able to perform cred

US, we have fulfilled every desire that
the Creator Of our souls had in mind
for us. OF this am sure.

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs Thompson: I am girl
twenty years old and have very few
acquaintance here. I have a girl
friend and her husband whom I love
to go to see, but lately hesitate to do
so because of a strange influence the
husband has over me and of which he
is innocent.
I love my girl friend too much to
want to come between them even in
thought and do not want to offend
her by not calling. Still when I am
there every look of his thrills me and
when 1 dance with him 1 am simply
in heaven. I never cared for men
and do not like this situation. Shall
1 tell her about it and ask her advice,
or just stay away and run the chance
of offending her? Her husband
knows nothing of my feelings and does
not try to flirt, but unconsciously
makes me love him to madness.
ALONE.
I believe your -infatuation for your
friends husband will wear off after
a while If you do not worry about it
and take the matter too seriously.
Since the husband is innocent of any
effort to make you care for him, the
secret is yours and you can keep it
so if you are sensible enough to keep
your thoughts and feelings in check.
I would not advise you to tell the wife,
and I would not advise you to give up
the friendship unless you have more
reason 10 lHlnk II necessary 10 not
not go too often to the home of your
friends and when you do go, enjoy
your friends without worry over your
