Useless Profits

] see my neighbors thronging
upon the public way. all victims OF
a longing for something that wi

play in, if haply we know how; the
woods are fine to stray III. the
brooks invite us now; but some
where there's nickel that we
should put i'll pickle, and SO the
sweat drops trickle down every
weary brow The hunters horn IS
sounding. there's fish in yon lagoon,
but we are busy pounding the same
old dollar tune; we have no time
for gadding. for we must punch the
padding from our machine Tor add
ing the groat and picayune. We
might disport and gambol upon the
spangled lawn, or up the noun
tain ramble, and there ad-
mire the dawn, but somewhere
there's dollar. and we hurrah and
holler in fierce attempts to collar
that coin before it's gone. We might
go forth and paddle upon the ocean
side, or canter in a saddle, noble
horse astride, but somewhere there's
a shilling, and we must make kill

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
MESSAGE EXPLAINED
Brings Good Will to Men," Miss
Lucia Coulson De-
clares.

christian Science has come to
bring Il message of good will to men,
said Miss Lucia Z. Coulson, member
of the board of lectureship of the
Mother Church, Boston, in d lecture
on christian Science" last night at
the First Church of Christ, Scientist,
Columbia road and Euclid street
1T has come to. show us that God s
will is good. that His will for all
mankind is always health. and always
happiness. 1t may he said of Chris
tian Science also that it is showing
forth this good will of God in the
same manner. 1t has come TO say to
a world that is torn with strife. bow
ed down with cares, sick at heart
with loss and poverty: These things
are not the will Of God: Gods will
for man is dominion over all
the earth This dominion was Gods
eift to the man He created. Chris
tian Science has come to teach us
how to realize it, and Christian Scien-
lists are beginning to learn how to
exercise it; they are beginning to
know that Gods will is good, because
rich blessings have begun to come
into their lives. as they have resisted
the belief that misfortune must come
To them in fultillment of Gods will,
and as they have clune to the fact
that His will is fulfilled in goodness
only"

ARIST0CRATIC EUROPEAN
 WOMEN ARE WORKING
 FOR THEIR OWN LIVING

of the Argentinian's wife and will go back to Argentina to live.
 What interests most of all about this plan of mine," said Miss Kerr, lis that we are creating in England that pride in profession among wo- men that makes them feel com radely. We are forming a great in ternational club of workers who will stand together on all issues concern ing feminine labor. It will be an un- usual group of women, for it will include only educated women who are actually facing the problem of making a living.
 Are of Many Races
 "Our workers do all manner of things expertly They trim hats; they catalogue libraries, they drive motor cars, they do all the usual household duties, even to making up other peoples household accounts.
 "They are women who represent the intelligence and culture of Rus sia, France, Denmark, Italy, England Ireland, Scotland and even Iceland Already we have 1,200 women work ing for the organization. They are scattered through Britain, through Europe and even in Australia, China, Japan and Egypt"
 And do visiting Americans use your service?" I asked her.
 "The greatest compliment 1 nave ever had paid me was by an Amerl- can who asked me to open branch of Useful Women in America. When such brilliant and thoroughly efficient organizers as Americans propose that a Scotch woman come to their coun- try to organize anything it is nothing less than astounding. l hope to go, but in the meantime I shall extend my service in London particularly, yet visiting Americans who Wlsh shopping done for them, who wish to leave their children with competent and splendid women while they them selves travel, or who want to place their children in European schools and still give them some home life they shall, of course, be served.
 am not working these plans out alone, for I am backed by the solid work of some of the finest women of Europe, women who have just learned what it is to work and who bring to their jobs a fine enthusl- asm.'
