The Very Rev. William Ralph Inge. dean Of st
Paul's Cathedral. in London. presented the other nay
a new definition OF success: and. since he insists that
the amount Of money one makes has nothing TO lc
with success or lack Of It, his definition IS worth
studying n bit.

current North American Review. SIS to have made =

This. to be sure. Is exactly what the sages Of I'll
times have been saying for many centuries; but IN IN
age where ones bank balance and the price Of Dne's
are the gauges whereby ones achievements
are measured, it comes like something new.
To have made a right use Of life-to have hone. In
other words. the one thing which one is fitted to 10
and TO have done II to the very best Of ones ability
here. when you stop to think about it, is a gauge that
might upset some of our Tnap judgments.

to lead his less fortunate fellow-men ON TO n better
and freer existence. who takes the easier way. rubor-

And-to reverse the picture-the lawyer. who rould
have made millions in the service Of wealthy clients
but who chooses instead to devote his life TO terving
the poor. the downtrodden and the unfortunate who

Talks To6&2 &I4+ parentsi
"MANNY" By Alice JudsOn peale

North, south, east, west, evcry- where is heard the vail of the nanny song.
 T would give most anything Just to hear my nanny sing
 Sleep, baby, sleep.'
 The vaudeville audience grows silent and sentimental while the young man with patent leather hair walls and bleats his yearnings across the footights. Tired busi- ness men in night clubs find their emotional callouses softening while the singer sobs and moans the well known theme. The radio remains tuned in on the mammy song until the last strain has died away.
 The popular response 10 tha nanny song is but the expression of the deep rooted wish of all of us to return to the warmth and security and absence of all unsatis- fled wants which characterizes the period of earliest infancy, It rep resents the negation of life. the de- nial of the will to live.
 When we see how universal ta this wish in the hearts Of men and women, we realize that the tempta- tion which besets all mothers to keep their children babies as long as possible is fairly dangerous. It is likely to reenforce the naturally aggressive urge. while life demands that it's babies grow up.
 Perhaps the hardest thing that mothers have to do is to give their children to life instead of holding them always captive and suffocated within the embrace of mother love. The mother who strives from tho beginning to make the child's re- sponse to life Increasingly and joy fully independent is not the mother of the nanny song, but the mother of courage and achievement.
