On Talking to Ones Self -, ,. x.xvoY

TALKING to ones self, preferably
i aloud. is one Of the best methods
Of pursuing a line Of thought. johnson
speaks Of some one who clarifies his
thoughts BY fltrating them through
other peoples minds" The same re-.
suit can be obtained by using your own
mind In the same manner.
People who do not think, but only
think they think, and don't think that
very often, will object to your talking
to yourself. They have nothing else to
do. Don't pay any attention to them
T EFT I'd, in conclusion, tabulate some
- Of the advantages Of talking to
ones self:
First. You are always sure Of an in.
terested audience.
Second. You are always sure Of q
sympathetic audience.
Third. You waste no time or energy
in fruitless or disastrous debates.
Fourth. You can cut the conversation
short whenever you wish.
Fifth. You gradually get rid Of mos
friends and all relatives, q. consumma
tion most devoutly to be wished.
| Sixth. The cost is uncomfortable.
Seventh. 1t takes you out into tn,

But II intellect and attainment
has not been the principal quest
In the creation OF the 900 peerages
OF the past seventy years, what
has been? There is only one hon
est or possible answer to that aues-
\ tion--gold! ~. .e .-..
The religion OF gold has been
at the root of the majority Of the
peerages recommended by almost
every prime minister. =, -
II q man of reasonably good
character has been vain enough to
desire a seat In the House Of
Lords, and rich enough to secure
and support It,, no matter how re-
mote his interests may have been
to the problems OF national well
fare, or how small his abilities to
deal with them, 1t has nearly al
ways been within his power. soon
err or later. to become a peer.
1t is not corruption on the part
of the prime minister or, Of his
associates that has brought about
this condition. Nobody has
gained a penny by 1t. The thing
comes OF the very essence OF par
ty strife. As long as parties
struggle with each other for su-
premacy. and require funds for
their fighting, and as long as
honors are within the gift OF
the head Of the ruling party,
peerages will. in one way or an
other. be bought and sold.
In the days Of the elder Fox.
the paymaster general held con-
troll Of three millions sterling for
which he was never called upon
to account. using it to purchase
votes and to conciliste the impe-
cunious or intractable members Of
his party, with the result that
once 4 minister achieved power
It was almost impossible to turn
him out.
Since Fox's time our parties
have reversed the method OF pro-
tecting themselves. Instead of
buying votes, they now sell them.
They sell them in the highest
place Of all-the House Of Lords.

credit OF its Upper House.
A PEN PICTURE. :
But the best way TO see what
the House Of Lords Is now, is to
10 and look at It. To one who.
like myself, has never been
caught up by the spirit Of the
House OF Commons. to one who

II has been we'll said Of 1t that 1t
has more sense than anyone In 1t.
Not so with the House of
Lords. There Is no sense in it,"
says Bagehot, because there is
no life in It," II is an assembly
which does not assemble.
The atmosphere Is that OF an
empty cathedral almost Of a
.mausoleum. II sits on you like
the first wave OF uneasy sleep.
The whole effect OF the sparse
assembly Is that Of something
feeble and foriorn, q thing in a
decline and indeed dying Of con.
sumption. A home Of rest for
worn-out politicians: q reservoir
for eldest sons who. having been
brought up In the business. have
drifted in here because they have
nowhere else to go. And yet this
Is the house which heard Chat

Mothering.

TT Is, Of course, fantastic to
suppose that 1t is the duty
Of the United States to res
cue Europe from the consequences
of it's own folly or to deliver
every nation under the sun from
the evils which each has helped
to bring upon its own posterity.
On the other hand, 1t would be
unchristian and uncivilized to sup
pose that the United States could
desire to live 50 isolated and apart
as not to care whether Europe
came to a general smash.
Between these two extremes lies
the course which the big heart of
America will take. feel confident.
once the good will and good sense
OF Europe itself becomes apparent.
WOMEN CAN HELP.
The fact that women are voters
in both England and America
should help this desirable end
enormously. Women are so much
less accustomed to politics than
men that they have not yet learn
ed the lesson OF stand.offishness,
and II English and American
women once really begin to under.
stand each other, all will be we'll
For, after all, understanding Is
the thing which is wanted II II IL
the sort OF understanding which
brings mutual helpfu,ness.
What Europe needs is to be
helped to recover stability and
there is no doubt that the good
will and sympathy Of the Ameri.
can peop.e can enormously hasten
the time when that recovery ar.
rives.
Nothing, neither bad trade,
nor collapsed exchanges, nor
devastation, nor any other thing
Is so important to Europe today
as the Limitation OF armaments
and the preservation OF peace.
This is the one crucial point
and America has already led the
way In the direction and might
do 80 again. The world has been
in such a troubled state for so
long n time that it's outstanding
needs are spiritual as well as
material peace.

iization unshattered by the war

ENVERY once III a whhe you
N come across a pretty girl
A whom nobody loves.
This statement should be quail
fled considerably. What we mean
is a girl who Is handsome in form
and features. who has good man
ners and considerable intelligence,
yet who seems entirely deficient in
power to attract the opposite sex.
1t wiil not do to say that no
body cares, or that the girl
shouldn't care, and that she ought
to let the opposite sex go to grass.
For 1t Is natural for girls to
want to attract boys, and what Is
natural cannot be either wrong nor
negligible. And, besides, 1t is likely
to be quite pleasant.
All of us have observed at times
how certain women without any
apparent charm seem to have ad-
mirers all about them, while others
who are much easier to look at fail
In this respect.
You have often said:
Look at that woman! She Ia
homely. she Is dowdy and she Is
silly and yet all the men seem
to run after her. Now, there Is
Cousin Laura, a charming girl, so
good, so domestic. so cultured, and
she never gets a boy. Why is 1T"
OF course, the real answer is to
be found in something that Is quite
mysterious and that nobody can
explain-that Is. in that peculiar
complex we call attractiveness.
Often we are baffled and must re-
treat to the conclusion that somo
girls draw the boys TO them and
others do not. and that is all there
Is to II.
AZ the young lady expressed II
In her celebrated verdict on DIR.
Fell:
do not like you, DR.. Fell,
The reason why I cannot tell,
But this I know and know full
we'll. I do not like you. DR.. Fell"
Perhaps, however, some indica.
ton of the trouble may be found
in the fact that In the matter OF
personal charm the secret is to be
found in perfect balance. A girl
must not be too willing and yet she
must be willing enough.
It Ia likely to be fatal II a girl il
too keen. In that case she Is prone
to see indications Of love where
none are intended. And a man
likes to indulge himself in the
pleasing fiction that he Is to be the
