on the Index Expurgatorius by the Pope.
 In 1928, long after his retirement, Bergson was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature
 Appealing Philosophy
 Bergsons philosophy appealed to the mystical. religious quality in human nature. It was the creed of the inner self rebelling against an over -mechanized civilization, against an arrogant rationalism which held that the intellect, cold and objec- tive, possessed the key to all exis- tence and to unlimited progress.
 Bergson contended that the soul, being psychic and immaterial, could not be probed by the mind, which he held to be material. The mind, he said, could explain the outside world, and was an excellent instru- ment for scientific research, but 1t could not explain the force which gave the mind it's impulses and mo- tivation Before the deeper mys- teries of life, the mind could not hope to triumph; rather it must rely on intuition.
 It was this emphasis on intui- ton. with it's romantic, almost poetic appeal, which helped Berg sons ideas achieve such wide popu larity.

Certainly the ladies-being ladies still worried about the tilt Of their hats in l940. Even the English women of the ARP corps tilted their helmets at a cocky pitch.
 But the powder-puff division as such was definitely out as head liners. Gone were the last decades beauty queens, Cinderel- las, sensational divorcees, wearers of ermine and throwers of soirees. The women who hit the front pages of 194O had something to to with one of two subjects: the war or the national election.
 The bell tolled first for two ladies in Norway: The Norwegian Crown Princess, Martha, and the aristocratic American Ambassador, Mrs. J. Borden CDaisy) Hartman. It was Mrs. Harriman's cable to our State Department which told the world that the Germans were swarming over Norway early April g..
 That same night the Crown Princess Martha fled over dark roads with her family, racing against time. For days there was no news. Then the family turned up in London. Now the saddened young princess is living almost a hermit's life in guarded home outside Washington. Her husband is in Londcn.
 So is the next lady who hit the front pages: Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. It was early May when the German panzers rubbed out her nations borders. On May l3 she arrived in London. There was furry of criticism. But she re- minded critics that T Shall Main tain' was the motto of her dy- nasty. And obviously she could maintain" better in London than as German prlSOIler.
 New Personality
 In June American readers were treated to new feminine per- sonality: Mrs. Wendell Willkie wife of the Republican nominee She was a little numb" from con- vention excitement when she set cut on campaign travels that took her 3l,000 miles by the side of hei husband. She wound up with al inner circle reputation of beins che of her husbands soundest ad- visers.
 In July Americans read of Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt, experi. enced at precedent breaking. smash. ing another one. She flew to tht Democratic convention to addres. it on behalf of her husband. Ther she went off the record" But ths campaign wouldn't leave her there She was almost as much of ar issue as war and the deficit.
 
 Adviser for the Army
 Meantime readers were growing accustomed to another name, offer in the news now-Miss Harriet Elliott. In May she was appointed to the Defense Commission, tho lone woman member, in charge e1 consumers problems By autumn she had quietly chalked up few for Mrs. Housewife by dint of ad- vising on Army buying in such q way as to keep prices of food and clothes on an even keel.
 Then popped up news of the most romantic lady of our time the Duchess of Windsor. She had faced the summer confidently. Evi- dence: She ordered 20 summer out fits from Parisian dress-makers But then began long trek across the border into Spain where she celebrated her birthday in a peas ants home. The Duke, somehow had managed cake. They became the Governor and Governors Lady of the Bahamas-he busy with un- employment problems, she leading the islands Red Cross units. Two

back after terrific battle with the

British experts suggested that the

Russian cities to the rear, leaving
