 At my last meeting with Mabel Storrs I'd given her grave ofense by wounding her in her most vulnerable spot her pride in being left in charge of affairs at Jim's office. This I did by suggesting that when got decently on my feet. and was making big money, I'd put her and J. H. liar rison on their feet, too. I'd lost ground with her. which I knew very well I might never be able to regain. But I purposed to try.
 To me Mabel Storrs appears a woman of complex and bafling per- sonal1ty, but one of great charm and admirable character. Except Betty l don't think there's any woman who gives me such an impression of sta bility and loyalty mingled with de- lightful yet inviting reserve and good taste. Pm sure if any other woman had been left in charge of Jinl's affairs, we would have been at logger heads in less than no time. And I'm bound to confess that not every beau tiful young woman in a position such as hers would have seemed-particu- 1 larly trustworthy. I'd have been jeal- | ous of any save one woman in a mil lion. Miss Storrs is that milionth woman, and I don't like being in the absurd position of having. her jealous of me-on a basis of financial ability. So, hurt as I was at having a let ter come from Jim received at the office when none had come to me, l got a whimsical satisfaction out of it. This swings the pendulum back her way. She can afford to gloat- and she won't. But now she won't have her ugly 'inferiority complex I told myself as I travelled to meet my husbands representative in my husbands office.
 was astonished at Mabel Storrs' first word after our exchange of greetings:
 Did you have a, letter from MT. Harrison?''
 "No, I didn't" I replied, flushing in spite of myself at her lack of tact. Are you sure? Perhaps you left the house early-before the mail had come"
 No" I repeated. '"The mail comes at 8. I left shortly after that. But I had no letter. Has that anything to do with-getting me down here ?" "Yes,"was the absorbed reply which seemed not to take me and my feel ings into account Would you mind teIephoning to see if anything came 1 in the second mail? If so, we could send up for 1t, and have a bite of l lunch together while waiting. That | IS, if the plan doesn't interfere with i any business of yours"
 l There was a polite question in her voice. but the same time there was 1 the suggestion that nothing could ex- ! ceed in importance certain things which Mabel Storrs and I had to do 1 together. With a. sudden determina- tion to return to my methods of bus r but drew the telephone to me and called CarIotta Sturgss' residence. To l my delight, Bertha answered the tel 1 epbo ne, and so with no hesitancy, ] put mx question boldly:

one who strives for serenity and for adjustment to life has to give in to every morbid desire or to Ego up in the air" on the slightest provocation For a strong chara cter-strong feelings and strong command over them"
 A real philosopher said that In this day when we are just be- ginning to understand how closely | women is the fibre of mind and soul and body, we are recognizing that human emotion is not thing of which to be ashamed Creative energy is the best hert- tage of mankind. It populates our world and expresses itself in all the big achievements of civilization from bridge building and the discovery of new continents to the writing of great pieces of music or magnificent poems. Creative energy constructiveIy ap- piled is one of the things which distinguishes us from the brutes.
 The man who fritters away his life in one petty love affair after another hasn't the creative force for big work, finds relaxation and restfully diff ferent outlet for his driving power in pleasures which appear to us to be tawdry and unworthy. Some times the man or woman of genius finds the pressure of his gifts so tremendous that it cannot all be ex- pressed through his work and then we get 8 riot of living which we or- dinary moitals cannot judge because we do not understand it-nor yet need such outlet.
 Most of us have enough power to do something worth while in this world. Most of us have an emo tional driving power which we can use to our own betterment and tl7a> of the e-world. Most of us can find work which gives us a fine outlet for the emotional energy we too often waste.
 The rest1essness of today, the urge for pleasure and for self-expression be a force to destroy as many teach CTS are insisting. It can be force for building
 The great lesson for us to learn Is that we cannot express this urge heaIthily, adequately or with real satisfaction to soul. mind or body unless we make it a constructive thing.
 In finding something worth while to do. in contributing something val uajb1e to life. we find the most grati- lying outlet for emotion.
 Don't be ashamed of your feelings. Don't think you are a brutal or low type of human because you are full of surging feeling Be glad that you have the potential force of such strong emotions. And harness them. Make your feelings work for you and for the world. Then those feelings, are bound to be blessing and not a curse.

EASTER time is most as thrill ing to the youngster as Christmas time, for, if one is both 8 good and fortunate child, there is the visit to be expected at dawn, of the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny is as mysterious visitor as Santa Claus, and like him, he brings gifts to the children; and like Santa again, no one ever catches him at it.
 The best way for the children to make ready for the call of the Easter Bunny, is to twist a long scarf, or Turkish, towel into a 'nest," and leave it at the win dow, or at the kitchen door on Easter Eve. Then, on Easter

must call world economic confer
ence. 1t Is her duty" DR.. Joseph
Wirth. former chancellor of Ger.
many. declared in an interview to-
day. his first since tho fall OF his
government.
Able TO discuss frankly the situ.
alton within and without Germany,
unhampered by diplomatic restric.
tions. which prevented many utter
ances during his 10 months at the
helm OF German affairs, Wirth's
first thought was for the need Of
American Intervention as arbiter
In European affairs.
The United States. ne de-
ciared, must take decisive
role In reparation settlement by
naming official delegates 10 the
commission. II must be umpire
for Europe. Unless America
does this. DIR. Wirth foresees
utter ruin and bolsfevism thru
out Europe.
For himself. he said he was de
termined to carry on. playing a
part in the reichstag somewhat sim
liar to that of Lloyd George In the
British parliament. Wirth is now
a deputy.
He pointed out that the United
States. thru Woodrow Wilson. was
pledged to the IA points" adding.
but II now appears that nobody in
America Is willing TO carry out these
principles"
"Who is 20 settle the European
problem which now has become a
world problem 2--not politicians. not
