IDLE
DRIFTING
By
ELLEN ADAIR
The Life Without a Purpose
hmr
Although many n woman would Indig
nantly deny the statement, too many to
day might bo classed as nothing more nor
leas thHn "drifters" on the sea ot lire.
For they have no plan, no purposo, no
guiding principle beyond the great goal
o Tleasure. There, Is a certain thrill, a
certain glow ot anticipation connected
with drifting, too, though It bo ephemeral
and hortlled, which Is ery Interesting
and delightful while It lasts. The pity Is
that It lasts for such a short tlmc-nnd
then como the rocs and the undeicur
rcnta and the storms and the tears and
the disappointments.
There are hundreds of different waja of
drifting. One small boat may ue drifting
In n very safo and pleasant haven, where
ntf" possibility of mishap could occur An
other may bo drifting In waters that loots
calm and lovely nnd that jet hold treach
erous currents nnd waves underneath A
third may bo drifting In Hie open sen. hut
with rudder and oars ready at n moment's
notice to combat any sudden emergency.
And the Unfortunate fourth may bo dilft
Ing because there Is no other nlternatlto,
for tho rudder Is broken and the oni'3
gone! And God help that poor lonely boat
out there In the open!
A life without u pmpose never can bo
a happy one. I'oi. after nil, the en
thusiasm? of life a e what br ng happiness
to us proldcd, of course, that the en
thusiasms tend toward the right direction.
Tet the saving clause Is unnecessary, for
no wrongly directed enthusiasm survives
more than a brief space. Kor then It
ceases to be an enthusiasm and becomes
merely a falling, and a handicap.
"I havo made shipwreck of my life
through Idle drifting," said a woman only
tho other day, "and at the same time 1
have ruined two happy homes, broken up
two families, and taken the Jo fiom n
very kindly husband's heart! Hut It Is
too lato to mend matters now, for I havo
run on tho rocks, and all unwlttlngl-.
Jly fatal Iovo of drifting, in Indecision
ot character, my dislike of fating a situ
ation bravely and looking things squarely
In tho face havo proved my ruin. 1 didn't
mean any harm but then no one ever
docs at thu beginning, do they?
"It happened this way: When quite a
young girl I always disliked having to
make up my mind or give a decided opin
ion on any question. For 1 was easy
going, and peaco at any price was my
motto. 1 didn't like to make plans bo
fpiehand, I didn't enro about hard study,
I used to avoid all ahaio In the world's
work, and above ever thing elBe 1
loathed rcspons bllitv ! I vn a ga
happy sort of girl, but utterly Irrespon
sible. 'Youth wns meant to have n good
time,' I always assured msclf nnd my
family. And so 1 dilflcd along In very
p'enfcant, safo walcis, for my curly life
was a sheltered one, nnd our little homo
was a haven of happiness.
"Hut T was a spoiled child there, for
no ono taught mo tho folly or this per
petual drifting In search of the pissing
pleasure, tho fad ot the hour, the eu
teitalnment of the moment And plcustiio
was all 1 lived for.
"l.nter on t met n man who attracted
me very much. 1 thought that 1 was In
lovo with 111 nt. Porhnps It vas so, I do
not know. Hut I certainly did not glvo
the situation much thought. Kor di If Iris
never aro thinkers. You see, teal think
ing requires genuine effort. And drifting
nnd self-nnaljsls never do go toRcthrr.
"Wo married, and were vcr hnppv to
gether Hut after it time I returned to
my old, heedless ways. 'I he house nnd
the housekeeping could diift nlnttg ns
they best liked. Certainly 1 didn't bother
much about them. It wasn't In my tin
tuio to bother. I'lcnsuro wns my aim
and object.
"AI husband wns very indulgent. Wo
certainly weie quite hnppv.j 1 liked him
vorv well, and 1 uppicclntccl Ids kindness
and his foibeatanco. Hut I don't know
whether It Is In me to lovo vcr deeply.
Drifters don't cultivate deep feelings, you
ere. They would soon icnso drifting If
they md. Hut they are too lazv for gicnt
emotions, too selllsh, too Improvident.
"I began to notice that m.v husband was
dissatisfied with things 1I didn't say
much, but when he would come home nt
night and nnd that 1 had drifted off to
the theatre with a crowd of gay fi lends
and forgotten to leave mi oi tiers for his
dinner, or nny message at all for him, ho
would be disappointed nnd disillusioned
Hut at the same time he scarcely ever
complnlntd. It wasn't ills way to
grumble.
"This tort of thing went on for a long
time 1 drifted everywhcie In -erch ot
plensine, de.ivlng mvself nothing. And t
spent endless money on plensuies. I
drifted into debt, and in order to get out
or debt I dtirtcd Into gambling. When a
woman takes to gambling nnd gets the
thrill of It nnd the fever of It into her
blood, then that Is the cud of ovoiythlng.
"It certnlnl.v wns the end of ever thing
Tor me. Kor the Inevitable huppened. Jly
husband left me. And now I would she

But It la too late.
And hundreds of other women aio with

How to Make the Peasant Blouse
The lowly peasants ot the countries now
at war havo given to American women
a fashion which Is absolutely unique that
Is, the peasant blouse. With this blouse
the peasant wears a dainty apron, which
has been translated into various si lea
by American costumers. In some cases
it takes the form of a turned back tunic,
or a pointed one. Many or the more
exclusive dressmakeis have kept to the
apron drapery Just as the peasants wear
It, and the uuointncss of tho cfTect Is
charming. The material used on these
aprons is usually the same as that rsed

Ill the Kitchen
The girl who Is staitlng to keep house
nowadays has the advantage over her
grandmother In many wajs, particularly
In the excellent equipment which sho can
get for her kitchen For Instance, tho
amateur cake baker can get a set ot
molds which have been gotten up bv
some skilful manufacturer to simplify
the labor of baking day. The entire set
conslsU of one loaf and two Iocr molds,
either round or square, as fancy dictates,
a measuring cup and an egg whip. To
further assure Miccess. a copy of soma
reliable recipes for cake baking are In
cluded. These are all made ot reliable
material, and the new bride will appre
ciate such un appropriate gift They sell
for 75 cents a set.
The Serviceable Apron
Most convenient vvork aprdns are made
hy turning up the bottom on tho right
side to form a generous pocket, stitching
once up the centre to hold In place. When
setting the house in order In the morning,
these aprons save many steps.

JACK FROST stopped on his Journey

"What's that OU are saying?" asked
the north wind, who was traveling with
him. "Heems to me I heard you talking,"
'Oh, I was Just talking to myself," re
plied Jaclt Frpst coolly. "I said I felt as
though I had forgotten something."
"t pften fee that way." said the north
wind by way of comfort, "and generally
fhen I eel that way, I find I have really
forgotten something. I expect we better
back and look before we go any

"Oh, do you think; so" asked Jack
Jrp?t, "well, maybe we bad, but I was
looking forward to renting up In your

switched himself about and headed south

No. I haven't," replied Jack Frost
crossly. "I stm fee) like I had forgotten
something, but I'll declaie, I can't thin
what It is!"
"Very well, then," said old north wind.
then we must look further."
So they traveled on.
Over city they blew. They whistled
around the church spires, they blew
across the roofs. They scampered over
meadows, they rustled over fields. Over
wrcia aim putiiis, over inns and valleys
they went their cold and weary way, but
never a thine did Jack Frost see that re
minded him of what he had forgotten
At last, weary and breathless, they
puuaed for a needed rest under the eaves
of ft great barn. While they were there
the farmer came out from the housy to
see If his cattle were housed safe and
warm from the storin. As he went back to
the bouse his little on called out to him:
"frather. What do you suppose Is the
matter with winter? r thought he had
gone north for this year?"
The boy'a father laughed. Tou can't

Ingly upon him and again Doctor Wlhlo
brought cold reason Into the affair and
left tho two women together.
However, cold reason was an errant
emotion during tho following weeks.
Diana, In a Bootless white sown and n
pink lint In 'ncr cheeks and luster in
her eyes nnd n laugh ever falling from

I was all icady to bo oft to bed last
night, and get my much needed beauty
sleep, when tho lelephorio rang, and, as
luck would havo It, I answered.
"Hello, Dorothy, would you like to take
a chance with me on a charity danco""
said Jimmy Carter, In his lively way. "I
didn't get the tickets until dinner time,
so excuse the Impiomptu Invitation. Just
put on any old thing nnd como nlong. If
wo don't llko it, we can go to the
movies."
Ot course, It was a perfectly silly In
vitation, but .11 nun 'n high spirits aro so
Infectious nnd his dancing so dlvlno that
I decided to forego the beauty sleep until
next week.
We got down there nbout 10, and I had
