But Ireland still remains a possi-

of grievous trouble to the best and
most responsible elements of both
countries.
Deplornbl~ Conditions in ireland.
Irish affairs show little signs Of
early Improvement. The peace so
long predicted from government cir
cles here. has not naterialized and
feeling is being emhittered by saw
agery which all OF good intent would
fain believe is the work OF ire
sponsibile fanatics.
Terror still stalks the land The
terrorists. indeed. have extended
their operations definitely to the
British side OF the channel II is
charitable to believe that the OK
tremists have gotten out of ham.
for these happenings can only MAKE
the task of conciliation very much
more difficult for lrelands hest
friends.
Yet. in spite of the terror there
have been some encouraging signs
of sanity. Following the meeting 81
Sir James Craig. prospective prime
minister of Ulster. with Eamonn de
Valera. Lloyd George has publicly
withdrawn the conditions he had inn
posed as preliminary TO a meeting
with representative Irishmen. The
parliaments. under the home rule act.
have been duly manned and will in
the near future be avaiiabl. for the
promotion of peace. in so far as peace
is in the hearts of the Irish people.
In the south and west of Ireland
there were no elections. as tho-- ..e-
posed to Sim Fein would not risk
contests. Therefore. the choice fell
to Sim Fein nominees. And in the
same way four Dublin seats fell to
conservatives. In Ulster. on the other
hand. there have been spirited con-
tests Some results at the moment
are in suspense. but on the whole
they are expected to give from six
teen to eighteen seats to Sim Feiners
favorable 10 a British connection.
Cooperation of ParIinments.
still think the most fruitful field
for the restoration Of peace and for
orderly progress toward the govern
through the cooperation of the TWO
parliaments. as provided for in the
home rule act. And, Notwithstanding
the Sim Fein avowals of contrary
intention. 1 hope that Sir James Craig
and de Valera have discussed that
possibility.
A significant event of the week was
the intervention of the Pope. In a
message to Dublin his holiness in
an authority especially to deal with
the situation. This ignores Ulster.
1t also ignores the new parliaments.
1 wish it afforded a possible way out.
But the beginning of wisdom in
Irish as well as other affairs is in
facing facts.

supremacy at golf. as well as to the
Australians who are renewing their

France is saturated to the point
OF nausea with the negotiations
which haro been going on for q

these negotiations at first was
said to be an Improvement; in the

these so-called improvements have
operated to her detriment.
At san Reno, in April. 1920: at

decisions were reached regarding
German disarmament. all of which
in practice resulted in nothing but

AS far as reparations are con-

Frances Repeated Concessions.
In every case the excuse cor the
reductions was the necessity Of
maintaining agreement among the
allies. which. of course, France
ardently desires. But We now see,
on the one hand. that this agree
ment has been pursued as an end

have been. On the other hand. it

GREAT FORCE IS INITIATIVE

cured Of Making Success Of

Success in life may be nearly always
measured by the amount Of initiative
shown In doing ones work. This con-
quering and elevating force must come
from within. and is the Development
Of genuine desire to keep from be-
coming lost in the crowd; a will to do
those things in hand as though the
whole future depended upon the re-
suit. Men who have become famous
and successful in all walks of life
have developed their sense Of initiative
to the same extent they have gained
knowledge and then, what is most I'M
portant, have applied that quality to
real problems Of life. Without this
too uncommon quality, developed as
it should, many daily tasks and prob
lens become complex, difficult, oner-
GUS and commonplace. But, these DIFF

In marriage the greatest blessing that

Persia In Talmudic times fruits and
flowers were strewn in the path Of
the pair. and they were showered with
barley, which had been planted in
a pot shortly before the wedding. In

After changing her mind as to
whether she should or shouldn't every

ers up the step to the latticed porch
Carol walked like one in a dream.
The brass key fitted the lock. The
house was furnished with quaint old
fashioned furniture Of the cottage
type. There were willowware dishes
on the shelves and fragrant linen on
the beds. Everything bespoke an ex-
pected occupant or occupants. Carol
passed out onto the latticed porch
again and stood looking at the little
garden wonderingly, as though, If it
would, it could offer some explanation
as to what all this meant.
A stout, middle-aged woman in a
neat house dress came down the lane
and approached the porch. *Be it as
how you are the lady what is come to
stay here?" she questioned. Because
II you be, Mr.. Elgers said as how
was to look out for you. It's the lady

Carol answered, II seem to be-" and
as she spoke the words there came
over her the sensation Of having made
a solemn pledge.
A month had gone by. slowly and
peacefully as only village months can,
and still Carol stayed on in the house
of her dreams. In a hurried trip to
the city she had resigned her position
with the madame and packed her be,
longings. Day after day Carol had
watched for some one, the white deny
ing to herself that she was doing so.
For there was one thing lacking in the
perfection of her happiness-whether
they own up to 1t or not, people do
not live alone in the houses of their
dreams!
Carol had taken to setting two
places at the table with the excuse to
herself that 1t made her meals less
lonely, when one noon just as she was
about to sit down to her lunch there
came the bang of the knocker against
the door. Carol opened 1t and there
stood Jack Elgers. For hours she
had thought Of what she would say
when he did come and now that he
had she could say nothing at all! She
opened the door wide that he might
walk in. but he hesitated on the
threshold and asked, MAY I come in
to the house of your dreamsT
Come" murmured the girl. And
Jack Egers came into her life. never
to leave 1t, for people do not live alone
In the houses Of their dreams!
