THINGS THAT NEVER SATISFY
Wrist Watch, or Automobile, or Other
Luxuries Do Not Give Peace
and Strength and JOY

| wanted a wrist watch. | thought
l couldn't live without a wrist watch
l could see nothing but wrist watches
when l passed the shops. 1 limited
wrist watches daily to my family And
then, at last, l got that wrist watch.
Just like l wanted And for a week l
was the proudest skirt in town.
The wrist watch broke. l took it to
the jeweler to be mended. That was
six weeks ago. The wrist watch is
there yet, for l can never remember to
90 after it.
Life's like that. We're always want
ing something and thinking that that
thing will cure the itch in our souls,
writes Elsie Robinson in the Milwau-
kee Journal. We're always blaming
our discontents and failures on the
an automobile, a more stylish set of
clothes or more expensive house.
Then, provided we fish hard enough
and aim straight enough and work
long enough, we usually get that thing
And at once we find that the soul itch
goes on just the same! For the truth
is that things never satisfy.
No matter how costly or long de-
sired or wonderful, thing is only a
thing. 1t may interest and amuse for
a while, but it will not, cannot feed
our spirits. The only thing that can
feed a spirit hunger is a spirit prod
uct-the reactions and concentrates we
manufacture within our own person
alities. Not something you can strap
on your wrist, but something you grow
in your heart-that alone will give
you peace and strength and joy.

1t must have been the hair that did
it, but Daisy was unable to resist a
hat that looked altogether aIurhng
in one of the smartest shops on Fifth
avenue.
But the hat made her suit look even
older than ever, and Daisy plunged.
She gasped when she saw herself in
the new suit with its long, slim lines
and its delicious golden brown color;
with the hat with the pheasant's wing
1t was bewitching. But how shabby
her shoes looked; besides every one
was wearing strapped pumpsl
AS very last touch she bought her
self a new veil and trembling with
excitement she adjusted it carefully to
her hat.
It'll take me years to save it all
again." Daisy thought shamefacedly.
"All the money that 1 put by for a
rainy day"
She settled herself down by the win
dow in the train, feeling in her new
clothes that she was too noticeable.
She prayed that she would meet no
one she knew. She moved over to the
very margin of her seat as a big man
sat down beside her; he looked at her
casually and then cried, "Why, If It
isn't Daisy MilIerw
"Mr Armstrong;
ut used to be Bill when we were
in school together" he laughed.
Daisy looked up at him, perhaps it
was the new hat with the daring
wing, perhaps it was the consciousness
of that smart veil yet there was
charm about that shy, bird-like glance
that touched William Armstrong.
Just come back to civilization" he
explained. I'm going to surprise my
people. It's a long run from Arizona
to New York :"
"HOw wOndcrful!' Daisy exclaimed
softly. 1--WE always thought that was
about the most interesting place to
live" then for some unaccountable
reason she blushed
"Not for your kindw Armstrong
said gruffly.
He touched tentatively the rich fur
on her cuff.
"Oh this" said Daisy with disdain,
"as if clothes matterr
when girls as pretty as you are,
Daisy, l guess you're right" he said.
If she had looked sweet before, she
looked downright pretty now; and it
was this very knowledge that made
Daisy say, I'D love to hear about
Arizona perhaps"
Il would like to drop in and talk with
you about Gods country!' he said as
he wrung her hand in farewell.
That was why two days later Daisy
Miller, answering the telephone, said
softly:
I'm sorry, Mr.. Baldwin, but
have another engagement tonight"
Congratulations :" Tom Winship
cried, holding out his hand to his bet:
ting partner. "When it comes to a lady
killer, Art, I must admit you never
fail" he pointed with a jeering finger
10 the notice in the evening paper.
'The engagement of Miss Daisy
Miller is announced to Mr.. William
Armstrong of Tucson, Ariz."

Criticism.

There are two modes of judging of
anything: one, by the test of what
has actually been done in the same
way before; the other, by what we can
conceive may be done in that way.
Now this latter method of mere imag-
mary excellence can hardly be a just
criticism, because it may be impossible
to reduce to practice what is perfectly
easy to conceive. Fastidious men are
always judging by the former stand
ard; and as the rest of the under
standing cannot fill up in a century
what the Imagination can sketch out
in moment, they are in a state of
perpetual disappointment, and their
conversation is one uniform tenor of
blame. At the same time that I say
this, l lift up both my hands against
that perniciOus facility of temper, in
the estimation of which everything is
charming and delightful. Among the
smaller duties Of life, | hardly know
any one more important than that of
not praising where praise is not due.

A Little Thing Like
Clothes
BY JESSIE DOUGLAS


That" said Tom Winship, knock
ing the ash from his cigarette, lis
the primmest girl in this town."
They both looked after the retreat
ing figure Of Daisy Miller, dressed so
neatly in her blue serge that concealed
her ankles, with a black hat that was
meant to cover, not adOrn, the red
brown hair tucked out of sight.

you've lost already, and I'll put
ten on it, Art"
Daisy Miller's heart beat very fast
as she washed the dinner dishes. She
had really not seen anything of Arthur
Baldwin since they were in high
school together; she had thought less
of him, and yet tonight he had tele-
phOned to ask if he could come to SEQ
her.
She heard the complaining voice
Of her father as he hunted for the
evening paper, and hurrying into the
other room she cried, "TIl find it for
you, dad"
Daisy settled the old man in the
chair by the fire, slipped to her knees
and put on his house slippers, re
trieved his lost glasses and retreated
again to her waiting dishes
81 don't see why he should want to
see me-" she thought 81 can't under
stand" and yet her heart fluttered
strangely and she felt a new glow in
the dullness of her gray days and a
new romance spring out of monotony.
In her own room she surveyed her
wardrobe critically. The gray challie
was past redemption and her best

the only thing left was what she had
on, the blue serge dress that had new
er been anything but useful.
She turned away from the vision of
herself in the mirror.
You're hopeless! There's no use
Of course he's come to see you on bus
mess"
Yet again she felt that strange new
excitement when the bell wheezed and
she opened the door to Arthur Bald
win. He stood a moment in the hall
under the tiny blue flame of gas, re
tanning her hand.
81 am glad to see you, Daisy!" he
said, scrutinizing her white face.
There was an awkward silence for
a moment after he had seated himself
in the comfortable living room in the
big chair across from Mr.. Miller
How're you getting on with your
law? old Mr.. Miller gasped.
Arthur Baldwin found himself in the

in his chair.
When at last he said good night he
admitted it was one of the dullest
evenings he had ever spent and quite
unsuccessful except for his last re
mark to Daisy.
you certainly have wonderful hair,
Daisy" he said as he took her hand
under the whimpering gas flame In
the hall.
He smirked to himself as he re-
membered the slow, almost painful
flush that touched her cheeks.
But when she was all alone, she
stood for a moment In the hall, with
her hands pressed to her hot cheeks.
She heard her father numbering up
the stairs to his room and she fol-
lowed noiselessly and swiftly.
When she had lighted the candles
on either side of her dressing table
she peered in at the wonderful hair"
She unwound the great red-brown
twist and began to arrange it with
delicate care. With great waves over
her forehead it seemed to transform
her-almost-or she fancied so in the
uncertain light of her candles.
I'm cid enough to know better"
Daisy thought next morning as she
scanned the paper; but new infec-
lion in the air had caught her and she
explained to her father briefly that
she was going to the city.
