when he spoke.

Solitude of the Pacific

1 What poets have for ages described
as tse "silvery sheen" and makes
the solitude vanish for the time
AS the steamer ploughs its way
steadily there is yet life OF the most
marvellous quality unseen and uD-
ceasing. The life under the waves
Is as tremendous as the life in a
great city. But the cruelty OF the
struggles of mankind to reach un-
known ends is out Of sight, jusr
as the unknown myrlads OF the
| oceans denizens are out Of sight.
! There is but one thing and that Is
the boat. aside from the ocean. the
sky. the sun, the moon and the
stars.
After leaving the harbor OF San
Francisco. passing through the
Golden Gate. the hills stood as
sentinels and in their solitude seem
ed TO wave goodbye as they faded
in the mist Of distance behind. Dim
outlines Of the shore. and an ocoa-
sional island. typical OF solitude,
were seen for a few hours. The
hungry and swooping gulls in
swarms were in the wake Of the
boat for several hours. until at last
they, too. had a sense Of solitude.
and turned back 90 the shore. But
the boat and its human freight went
on and on and for days. apparently
the only thing upon the surface OF
the tremendous ocean. The solitude
OF the Pacific Is unknown TO those
who have Travelled only on the At
lantic. Between the United States
and Europe solitude such as is
known on Pacific Is not possible.
The passage OF ships Of every de-
scription keeps the Atlantic traveller
within sight almost every hour OF
some sail or some smoking funnel
in the distance. II IS but five or
eight days for most boats from shore
70 shore and solitude cannot get
settled. On the Pacific Il Is far dif-
ferent. If one takes a marine map
OF the Pacific ocean-a chart-and
notes the scores Of lines drawn from
shore 10 shore like wires reaching
in every direction the impression is
created that ships and ships and
more ships must be passing each
other often. In a run from Balboa
TO Los Angeles the sight Of a boat
in the distance or close at hand
was not tho unusual. But when one
sails from San Francisco due south
west the sight OF another craft Is
an event. The route is away from
the coast business and not within
several thousand miles Of the ma
rine route OF India and other lands
far away.
Yet there IS a grandeur in the
solitude, which has full sway. and
when night comes there is thought |
Of the many dear and near ones

that one who wanders away from
familiar scenes Is going into a new

1--WE have daily to send back refus-
ais to out-of-town applicants who
would like to find rooming quarters in
one of the Young Women's Christian
association boarding houses. The
waiting lists show there will be no
vacancies for months. The pitiful
part Of II Is that we have so many
older women who are desperately In
need of place to stay, let alone the
question Of work to do. More and
more women well past the thirty-year
mark are being forced out by the
stress Of the times to earn their own
bread and butter. They stand little
chance of being met even half way
the competition Is too strong for them,
with these eager intelligent young
minds ready to snatch up every good
thing that comes along. Watch any,
line In an employment Office and see
how many of the women on 1t are
gray-haired. There are few boarding
houses and business women's clubs
which will admit woman to resident
membership without considering her
age most carefully. In many Of these
places thirty years marks the age
limit. The reason that Is given for
this preference Is that since there are
not accommodation for all, 1t is felt
that the younger woman is more In
need Of the protection afforded by
these clubs.
War Work Brought Unrest.
2 Undoubtedly. the wanderlust which
brings the younger women from the
security Of their homes here to COM
bat an almost hopeless situation Is a
phase of the unrest which followed
hard upon the heels Of the war. So
many Of our girls who until that time
were content to stay quietly mt home
Jumped into all the hundred and one
activities that suddenly required the
services Of women. They found them
selves necessary In a way they had
never before dreamed of. They swung
big Jobs, small jobs, middle-sized Jobs,
with an efficiency that amazed them.
Now they are not content to fold their
hands.
1.-THE younger generation has ac-
quired a marked distaste for staying
at home, where they nay lead a nor
