The World and ALI
list DREAMING
By Charles P. Driseol

A girl Of IL recently wrote me, evidently thinking
I might know something. She says she has fallen vio-
lently and foolishly in love with a man whom she
doesn't know. she has seen him frequently, riding N
a street car or something OF that nature. She wants
to know whether she's crazy or wicked, and she wants
TO know whether she should call him up and talk 70
him without disclosing her identity.
Now, ! don't know very much, but IL chances that \
know the answer to this one By heart. She isn't crazy
or wicked. She is just natural. and what she is suf-
fering from is merely the malady Of being IL. It's
not an unpleasant a%fflction, and those who experienced
i as long as twenty years ago all wish they could 20

This isn't a spiritual experience, Kathryn. It's
Just a biological pain, and not a disagreeable one.
either. You are II, and are about to begin to realize
that you are a very attractive young woman, Mean
time, the biological urge toward romance reduces you
70 the necessity Of falling in love with a man, whether
you ever met him or not. Heavens, il YOU were locked
up in q basement you'd fall in love with the picture o.

IS not a picture, and don't risk discovery by indulSing

You're just one OF some millions Of seventeeners. YOU
know.
But, speaking Of girls fancies, there is q rather
good novel on the theme. 1t is The Closed Garden"
by Julian Green. The girl falls in love with an oldish
man who has glanced casually at her just once. She
suffers terrible torments from her obsession, because
she doesn't live a normal life. but is kept cooped Up
and closely guarded by her queer old father.
The whole boos deals with this stormy inner life Of
the girl. Quite evidently the young thing would have
forgotten about her bald-headed old doctor IL she could
have got out and gone swimming or playing tennis
with a mixed bunch Of healthy boys and girls Of her
own age. But in the oppressive atmosphere Of the
house IN which she was kept prisoner. she pined and
whined and moOned terribly. It's a slow-going story.
and a pathological one, but interesting enough to those
who like to explore souls in pain.

important articles may make a little more clear money

recently this sans commission refused to permit the

AMERICAN MEN FOR AMERICAN SHIPS
(Galveston Tribrnen.

IG|aIveston TribIne).
"Why is IL" asked a man who has sailed the seven
seas these many years, "that American sailors are not
hired on American ships?
He went on to point out that while some American
sailors did have berths on shipping board vessels, the
crews usually were made up Of foreign-born seamen.
He said these foreigners would work for less than "a
American would and that they were less particular
about working conditions.
The seamen themselves know better than we could
hope to know whether this complaint is well founded
and we trust that many of them read the Tribune. Per-
haps some Of them could spread enlightenment on the
subject.
II certainly would be far from patriotic and most
damaging 70 our merchant marine should American
shipping board vessels declare a boycott against Amer
lean sailors. .

An exchange of students with European countries
by universities would dissipate, to a great extent, ths
reluctance Of the United States to assume a more active
part IN world movements.
Americans must come to Europe to study the past
and Europeans must come to America to study the
future. A man cannot properly appreciate his own
country until he has acquired that personal contac;
with the life of another country. The traveller gains
a new sense Of proportion.
America is less likely to Be governed By tradition
than by impulse. America is less likely to be swayed
by the enjoyment Of the present moment than by Gu.
riosity concerning the next moment. She is less likely
to be ruled by custom than by actual fact. Europe is
the exact reverse of this. A more intimate exchange Of
culture and ideals between America and Europe will
prepare this country to soon play a leading part in the
management Of world affairs
