The Modem Woman's Restlessness
TltKnC In no much talk on every hand
ionccrnlng tlie restlessness of women
'And o many solution are offered thnt
II If hard to find the leal nnd the true
ipiorig the number. Thnt the modern
Womn.li Is a restless, somewhat dissatis
fied being admits of no denial. And what
she really wants nnd most truly craves Is
self-expression. But her attempts toward
l this self-expression nre futile nnd un
availing for she really doesn't know
. what she wants and this Indecision la
something very hard to contend with.
We all crave strong, resolute spirits,
minds that are bent steadfastly toward
one purpose, and wills that arc sufficiently
strong to carry that purpose out. Wo all
Have longed for trenchant force,
And will like a dividing spear.
Ils praised the keen, unscrupulous course
That knows no doubt and feels no fear.
Then we nre dreadfully disappointed
. with ourselves because wo find that we
have not 'that trenchant force which
tan carry us toward our heart"" Konl.
Moreover, so many nf us have not yt
faced the question of whnt that particular
ambition really Is. Like the Persian poet,
wo long for the unattainable, the "Moon
of. our Desire!"
,' Love, with the satisfaction of being
loved and loving In return, la popularly
supposed to be the ultimate goal of every
Woman's existence. And yet there are
hundreds of women to whom a career, the
satisfaction of old nmbttlons, the exer
cise of their full mentnl facilities In some
chosen profession matter Infinitely mora
than the question of love. They shun
love SJi they would the plague. For they
are afraid that If love comes to them and
they accept the overtures of the blind lit
tle sod, they will lose their Independence
of spirit, be diverted from their chosen
purpose In life, and take chance of a
great deal of pain nnd a great deal of
misery.
"Love is popularly supposed to ho such
B glorious, wonderful thing," they de
clare sagely, "and a. successful love af
fair certainly Is. But to how many peo
ple does a successful love affair ever
come? Not one In n. hundred! No. the
man or woman who loves Is gambling
with happiness, and nearly always plays
, to lose! And so we shall nvold love, and
build our lives on more permanent foundations!"

The Oak Tree Fairies
mHE very first thing the oak tree
I-'" JL fairies 'did after they got partly set-
tied In their new tree home was to look
E, around and seo who they had for nelgh-
'bors. You know yoursolf how Important
It is to live near people you like nnd, of
course. It Is even more Important with
ffnlrles, because they can't travel "round
' very Inr as people do.
"I think wo can let the rest of our set
tling go," the fairy queen had said.
"while we visit around a bit. We decided
fa to move In such a dreadful hurry that
Tve can hardly be sure we want to stay
here, You, biggest fairies, climb up to
the top of the tree and see the lay of the
land. You, middle-sized fairies, make the
acquaintance of the spiders on this tree
and set. if they will help us with our dress
making as the old oak tree solders did.
IT Tou, little fairies, climb down to the
ground and seo If there are any friendly
creatures In the garden."
Thus Instructed, nil tho fairies went to
Kork.
The biggest fairies climbed to the verv
fc tip-top of the tree (which wasn't much of
& jod, tne tree was so little) and looked
around to seo what they could see.
Tho middle-sized fairies went up and
down the tree trunk nnd hunted out all
the adder holes. 'nnnd mnrnlnir!" tiiu
aid to each and every spider they saw; '
"wo are oak tree fairies and we have
come to live on this tree." And the
spiders all made a fine, spidery bow and
, replied, "Indeed we are honored to have
you live near us!" ("Dear me! such polite
spiders," the fairies said to themselves.)
' Then aloud they replied to the spiders'
creeling like this; "Thank you kindly for
those nice words, and may we count on
you to help us with our spring sewing?"
"Indeed!" exclaimed the spiders each und
every one, "we ask nothing better than
to make fairy clothes!" So the fairies
felt quite relieved and very happy.
'' ' The littlest fairies climbed down to the
K.grqund (which wasn't a very long ways
to ce surej ana nuntea around for friends.
The vry first creature they saw was

TrOtfi: AND LOVE
By Ellen Adair
Hut the men and women who talk like
this nro Ignoring nature and the very
laws of the universe. For mankind was
meant for love and happiness. Yet work
plays as tremendously Important n part
In the building Up of happiness as love.
It has been freely admitted that success
in lovo Is not sufficient to satisfy the
average man. He demands success In
business, too. And If he Ib not success
ful In his work, ho can take very little
real happiness In love, for. he regards
himself as a failure. And to be only a
Mlght-IInvc-Heen In ome chosen career
Is the hardest thing which a man has to
face. No amount of love can quite com
penaato for that failure, for a man's work
Is his very life.
The married woman Is popularly sup
posed to be entirely satisfied with the love
of her husband and children. The world
imagines that she has attained her heart n
desire "How comfortably situated she Is
In life," declare other women enviously.
But that very woman may bo rating her
very heart and soul out through sheer
lack of self-expression. She Is longing to
be on the battlefield of the world's work.
Mrs. William Jennings Bryan, In discus
sing this very subject with me not long
ngo, Bpokc a very real truth. "I am con
vinced," said she, "that a woman must
have more outlets for her energy than
Just the occupation of looking after hus
band nnd children. She must take her
share in the world's Interests, the world's
work. Without that, she never will be sat
isfied. Work nnd love should go to
gether." "And what If the two conflict?" T
aBked.
"They need not conflict for very long,"
said Mrs. Bryan, "because the married
woman always Itnds work to do. Women's
clubs give mental stimulation to every
woman. Through them Bhe will find
outside Interests. And I am firmly con
vinced that marriage Is the best state
for every woman. She doesn't reach her
highest development mentally unless she
marries." .
Love nnd work, then, in the fullest
mennlng of both terms, nre together the
solution nnd the pnnacea for the modern
woman's restlessness.
in Their New Home

Billy Robin was digging worms. "Good
morning, Friend Robin," they said pleas
antly, "and would you please tell us your

"but we've come to llvo In tho little oak

tree got pretty crowded!"
At that Billy Robin stopped his worm
hunting and laughed oh how he did
Inugh! "I fancy it is crowded about as
this garden wan a while ago!" Then he
laughed some more. "But anyway, you'll
be glad you've moved," he said kindly,
"for this garden Is the very nicest place
of all the earth to live In!" Which was

So the biggest fairies, and the middle

'If on would rnther not7" said the
man: so they rend on.
There was no heading to the bolsh

"What was hi work?" asked Wllmot
with husky Irreverence.
"Stories nnd veises ho wrote." Kllzn
both lnld tho loiter gontlv on the coals
nnd drew out the next.
"There nie not ninny." she oxptnlned.
"It was only u month and we we saw
fnch other so often and I kept only the
letters from that one month."
AVIImot nodded In sllonco.
"You nro tho funniest child," snld the
ncTt lettor. "When I thlnl: of iho wi

"How old wore you then?" asked Wll
mot. "I was 18," Elizabeth answered, dream
ily "I'm 2." now, you know."
The letter burned slowly, nnd they rend
the next In silence.
"Sweetest," it snld, "I've been 111 the
Inst two days, or I'd hnvo seen you. I've
been seeing you anyhow In the shadows
of the room and the window curtnlns, nnd
a lot of other silly plnces. I was out of

writing a mere scrnwl. "That big blot Is
where I dropped my head Just now, be
cause I was too tired to hold It up any
longer. I must get back to the piny to

how my head nehes! Oh, Littlest Girl
I wnut you."
"He wns only n boy," said Kllzabeth,
"Just a year older than I"
"fJo on," snld Wllmot, tensely
Elizabeth turned over the next letter
and a withered rose fell Into her lap from
tho enfolding lenf of n torn program.
"We went to tho theatre," she ex
plained, touching the flower with gentle
fingers, "nnd I wore the rose on my
gown. It wns red."
"You like the led roses best." said Wll
mot Jealously. "Was It always so, or
did you begin then?"
"I I suppose It was then," she admit
ted gently. "He always sent them to
me."
AVIImot started up suddenly. "I can't
stnnd much more of this," ho said. "Did
you ever care for me nt nil?"
"Don't bo angry" Kllzaboth laid a
hand on his arm and drew him back.
"There isn't much more, nnd 1 think if
I didn't love you I couldn't show the let
ters to you at all. Walt till tho end you
will understand.",
She laid the dead roso on the fire with
the torn program. The next was only a
lino or two on a narrow card.
"Flowers he sent me," Elizabeth said,
"because he wanted to como that night.
And this " She glnnccd over a half sheet
of rough paper, closely covered "ho
wrote to thank mo for a book I sent
him " She looked up at Wllmot. His
eyes were dark and Inscrutable, but he
was white to the lips, and she hurried on.
"There's only one more to read these
are Just cards that came with flowers or
books. "
She laid them on the fire nnd smoothed
out the pnper that had lain clenched In
her hand so long.
"Is that the last?" asked Wllmot with
dry lips. Sho nodded, nnd ho bent to
read It.
"You are right," It said, "quite right
to break with me. There are a thousand
reasons why you should, nnd the one
renson why you shouldn't my love Is
a very worthless reason; I don't blame
you for not considering It. I knew It
must bo a mistake you were not for me.
You always gave me your cheek to kiss
and I didn't want your cheek "
"You see." Elizabeth whispered with
a little catch in her voice.
"You never really cared for me, Lit
tlest as you will caro some day for the
man who Is to come to you. He need
not be Jenlous of me, sweet, when he
does come. Your love for me was a
child's lovo that he will not want, and
that you will not give him. I have had
my divine day, nnd it Is over. But no
matter who comes In spite of the man
who Is to win where I have lost you will
remember I claim that, Littlest, for my
right you will remember when you love
him that I taught you how. I should not
write so perhaps, but there are times
when a man must speak what he knows.
Keep the few 'things I have given you
don't send them back to me. Put them
In the sandalwood box and shut their
memories In with them. I shall keep
your letter God known they're few and
cold enougn.
"Oh, Littlest Girl, I'd never let yon
go In this world-lf "
Elizabeth's hand slipped softly Intq
Wllmot's, where It rested on tho arm of
her chair. They sat In ellence while thn
last letter flared up, then sank and
crumbled.
"I think," at last she said, softly, "that
he was right, You need not ba Jealous
of him, I was a child then. I am another
self now, Wjien you came In, I had been
reading his letters, and somehow In the
dusk and quiet X had slipped nut of my
self back Into the little girl he used ta
love. My mind was full of him and of,
that little girl, and I pouldn't readjust)
things at once. Then when you used
his very words It was It was like a
ghost. You see don't you, dear? I'm
not disloyal to you. It was Just that C
remembered, as he said I would."
"I understand," said Wllmot, holding
her close. "I was a Jealous fool, but
you must admit that It was disconcerting
to come In and find you reading over an
other man's letters the night before our
wedding."
"It was silly. I suppose," Elisabeth ad
mitted, "but I couldn't help it and you
understand."
"Where Is he nbwr' asked Wllmot,
kissing the soft wave of her hair; "yon
won't grow to care for him again, jvlll
you?"
"Ob, Will, hush," tbe girl whispered,
her cheek against his coat sleeve, "he's
dead, dear he died that year didn't 1,
tell you at first? I thought you under-i
stood."
The sleet rattled angrily against the
window pane. Jarring the quiet of the
shadowy room, and the fire sank and
darVrntd.
" 'You will remember when ui love
aim,' " quoted Wllmot softly. " "that I
taught you bow poor beggar!"

Why She Is Always
"In Demand"
At the office. Because her employer
knows he can place absolute reliance on
Mary Smith. Sho works with her
thoughts on her work and not Btray
ing to the new blouse she's making at
home, or the hat that took her fancy, or
the party she Is going to have on Sat
urday. You see, Mary Smith Is a thoroughly
conscientious girl, nnd she'd scorn to
waste her employer's time even In day
dreams. But then sho works not because Bhe Is
paid so much for so many hours, but
because she takes n renl Interest In her
work, and la anxious to do It to the best
of her nblllty.
And Mary Smith Is no clock-watcher,
either. Sho never minds staying half an
hour over her time If there Is press ot
business. And you'd never find her rush
lug out to lunch, leaving nn Important
letter unfinished, because It happened to
be Just 1 o'clock!
She has plenty of common sense, too.
She doesn't bother her employer with
silly questions; on the other hand, she
Isn't too proud to ask the right way to
do a thing, If she finds herself at a
loss, But once told, sho never forgets.
And she doesn't discuss her employer's
business with all and sundry outside the
office, She would consider this a dread
ful breach of confidence for trustworthi
ness Is one ot her great points. And
that's why Mary Smith Is always "In
demand" for her employer simply
couldn't do without her!
SHE IS ALWAYS IN DEMAND
At home, Because, even though she
Is a business girl, Mary doesn't forget
what she owes the home-people.
It Is Mary mother turns to when any
thing goes wrong with the domestic ma
chinery: when she wants a new hat
trimmed; when she feels like staying In
bed for breakfast on a Sunday morning;
when particular Aunt Sellna Is coming
on n visit,
It Is Mary father relies on for a game
of cards on wet evenings; for sympathy
when he is bothered about business, or
his gout foot Is giving him bad twinges;
for company If he feels like a couple of
hours at the picture show and mother
can't go; for the huslness girl's quick,
clear brain when his accounts get In a
muddle!
It Is to Mary that the boys come when
they get Into a scrape; when they want
some one.to coax an extra dollar out ot
father for a coveted baseball suit; when
they want a corner of their own for
some secret enterprise, and know that
"Mary's room" Is safe sanctuary)
It Is Mary who plans all the birthday
treats, the little supper parties mother
loves, the country trips on Saturday
that mean somebody being up In time to
get the sandwiches ready,
And, though she makes her own
blouses and trims her own hats, Mary
la never too much engrossed with her
awn affairs to give mother a hand with
mending.
And thafa why Mary Is always "in de
mand" at home.

IN THE GARDEN
Some Prnctical Hints
TIIK enthusiastic gnidener has a great
many difficulties to face In the num
ber of enemies to plants, flowers and
vegetables which spilng up on every
hnnd. A particularly sharp lookout must
be kept for these, or else all tho previous
pains that have been 'takon In the culti
vation of the various growing things will
bo entlicly wasted.
It docs seem strnugo that a plant can
survive nt all, when one thinks ot tho
numerous disadvantages It Is struggling
nuiiiiist. Plants aic Just like human
beings, however there Is a survival of
tho fittest. And the gardener must tin
everything possible to ward off pests, and
to help the development of the tender
roots which arc so busily growing Just
now.
Among the arch enemies of nil growing
things come tho Insects, and In particular
thoso designated under the heads of
"bltcis" and "suckers." The sure way
to rid oneself of the pests which blto Is
to carefully poison their food, but It Is a
harder matter to kill the Insect which
sucks tho Juices and Ignores tho poison
on the outside of the plant. These last
must be boldly caught nnd destroyed,
there is no other suic way.
There is nothing so disappointing than
to noto the havoc wrought on some favor
ite bed of seedlings by the ravages of
destroying insects. The rows ot lettuce
nnd indlshcs. pel Imps, hnvo been gi owing
splendidly, nnd they look very strong and
healthy. There they grow in their soft
bed, amply nourished and with every np
parent chance for full development.
Then one mornlnc thev nonear rldrilcfi
through and through with tiny holes, till
nicy present tho appearance of tlno laco
work, or some target which has been the I
recipient of too many bullets. A closer
inspection shown that they nro covered
with a tiny black Insect which literally
swarms all over the green leaves. This
enemy Is the black flea beetle.
.Many people suggest that for the de
struction of these little creatures poison
should be rubbed all over the leaves.
But then that would bring In the ilsk
that these leaves might not be sufficiently
well washed before being brought to
table. f
The application of this insect.kllllng
stuff Is, however, really necessary. There
ure two varieties which ate always suc
cessful. One Is powdered tobacco, which
should be lightly dusted all over tho
affected part. Tho other Ib a powder
mode of fine coal ashes. Flour, lime and
plaster nre all equally successful, too.
The potato bug Is another arch enemy,
who chews the leaves and who most cer
tainly should be destroyed. The applica
tion of Paris green to the leaves will
soon prove effective, or tho bug may bo
picked off by hand nnd dropped In a can
of kerosene.
The squash bug and the striped beetle
nre particularly destructive, and should
be killed by poison. Spraying with soap
suds Is a good thing.
Tho ardent gardener must not forget to
look out for the devastation wrought by
the cutworm. He is llko n thief who
works In seoret and during the night,
nnd when you find your most cherished
plants lying prone on the ground some
line morning, you will realize that the
cutworm has been up to some of his old
tricks again! By digging around the,
roots of the plant you will probably dis
cover him, although this does seem a
little bit like locking the stable door
after the horse Is stolen! The cut
worm Is about one al,d a half Inches In
length, Is brown and striped and has a
pair of sharp little shears attached to
hs head, with which he does his deadly
work. The placing of poison bait round

Youth and Love
Though thy constnnt love I share.
Yet Its gift Is rarer;
In my youth I thought thee fair :
Thou nrt older, fairer!
Full of more than young delight
Now day and night are.
For the presenoe, then so bright,
Is closer, brighter. '
In the haste of youth we miss
Its best of 'blisses; ,
Sweeter than the stolen kiss
Are granted kisses.
Dearer than the words that hldt
The lovo abiding.
Are the words that fondly chide
When love needs chiding.
Higher than the perfect song
. For which love longeth,
Is tho tender fear of wrong
That never wrongeth.
She whom youth alone makes dear,
May awhile seem nearer;
Thuu art mine so many a year.
The older, the dearer'
