HAPPINESS AND THE COMMONPLACE;
THE GIFT OF BEING ORDINARY
MoodincsS'and Periods of Depression Are Often the Pdrtion of the
Genius The "Ordinary Girl's Life Plows in
Smoother Channels.
By ELLEN ADAIR
"JAM to disappointed thai I can't do
X anything really brilliant," wrote a
stay-at-home slrt to mo recently. "1
have always wanted to be clover and
Interesting, and have people point me out
as different from tho commonplace girts
one meets every day. But after trying
to excel In a whole lot of different waji
end falling miserably, 1 have at last come
to tho conclusion
that I am very ordl
naryl"
Tho letter goes on
In a somewhat met
nncholy strain. Tho
writer feels that life
has dealt unjustly
with her In railing
to bequeath qualities
nnd gifts above tho
average "I can't
evon play the piano
well," alto declares,
"although I h a v o
spent n great deal of
time In practicing.
Thcro really doesn't
seem any particular
thing I can do well, and It does seem
hard!"
Thlo maiden, all forlorn, quite over
looks tho fact that, nftcr nil, the world
Is pretty largely mado up of "ordinary"
people, and that tho ordinary pcoplo
manage to lmvo a Very good time, too.
It Is the ordinary men nnd women who
attend to tho small but necessary busi
ness that goes to make up tho great mim
total of our lives nnd the world's affairs
generally,
Tho geniuses aro too busy to look after
small tilings and then geniuses aro so
fewl
"If I 'wero only passably good-looking
I should at least havo something to
compensate," continues tho writer of tho
letter, but that consolation has been
denied mo also!
"Although I havo studied quite hard
and read all sorts of books with a view
to Improving my mind, my conversation
Is fur from being
either witty or en
tertaining." Dut tho "ordinary"
girt has several con
solations. If she only
knew It. Pretty and
witty girls win any
amount of admira
tion loudly ex
pressed, but who
goes out of his way
to praise tho ordi
nary glrl7 All tho
same, sho wins Just
as much love as her
brilliant sisters, and
womotlmos even
more.
Tor many peoplo
fight shy of tho
beautiful or clever
girl They fear that
she Is out of reach, that she will not
condescend to their level. And bo they
turn to tho girl who has no wonderful
gifts to make their own feel small in
comparison.
No man or woman likes being made to

IN TUB very back part of tho garden
behind the (lower beds, tho lettuce bor
der and the asparagus patch were two
long, straight rows of cabbages Ned
had set them out weeks ago when they
were Just tiny, gray-green plants only
two Inches high. Uut such good sun
shine nnd so much rain did they get that
now they wcro grown fat and big and
plump, and their silky greenish white
leaves glistened In tho sunshine.
Across tho top of the biggest, fattest
one of the lot thero slowly crept a great,
fat, woolly caterpillar. And as he crept
he ate and ate and atei
"Very good eating these," he said to
"Do yon never think of frtendat Do you
always ana forever eatt"
himself between bites, "very good eating.
I only hope that gardener boy does not
come and find me here. I would not like
to be killed, or I feel sure that. If I
keep on eating all the time, I will some
day amount to something. I am sure I
em a wonderful personage. I must eat
enough, though I must eat all the time,"
And, as (f to make up for the time he
had wasted talking, he ate three huge
bites In quick succession. '
Billy Robin at that very minute flew
over the cabbage rows.
"Look who's here'" he chirped, "look
who's come! That greedy, horrid, ugly
caterpillar Is eating the best cabbage" '
"Please don't talk that way about me,"
grumbled the caterpillar, as he hastily
swallowed another bite. "I eat for my
living, and some day I will be as beauti
ful as you."
"Su.h a, foolish Idea," cried Billy Robin

feel small And this Is precisely the ef
fect which many brilliant people have
on others Tho light which beats on
their brilliance Is strong, but It sheds no
reflected glory on those around. Instead,
It merely serves to show up their par
ticular lack.
A great deal of quiet happiness Is to
be found In the commonplace. Life may
not be so very dnzzllng to tho ordinary
girl, but It may be very satisfying nnd
very delightful. Sho Is spared many of
tho ups and downs of her more gifted sis
ters. Little Is expected of her, nnd lit
tle, therefore, will bo demanded nut
the girt nho Is considered "unusual" has
set up a standard for herself, to which
she must rigorously adhere, and by that
will she bo Judged.
Tho brilliant girl must llvo up to her
character. Sho cannot afford to descend
from her pedestal, as It were. Thero Is
a constant demand on her time, her In
tellect And If sho lapses from the high
standard set up for her, sho will be un
pleasantly criticised nnd censured
Moodiness nnd mnny periods of utter
depression fall to tho lot of thoso gifted
with the artlstio temperament. They don't
seem nbto to escape from theso attacks
Uut tho ordinary
girl is differently
constituted. Sho Is
of a moro placid dis
position, less llnblo
to moods nnd mid
den c h a n g o b of
"temperature." The
standard set up for
her m a k o s no
stringent demands
on her temper. Life
flows along In
smooth nnd easy
channels
A great deal of
quiet happiness lies
in tho commonplace.
Tho unovontful
career of which ono
seldom hears Is frequently filled with a
deeper Joy thnn tho ono which Us every
movement recorded In tho columns of
newspapers.
Tho writer of tho letter previously
quoted deplores tho fact that she is not
endowed with good looks. Dut let her
listen to the nords of n certain beautiful
woman on this very subject.
"Good looks aro moro of a trial than
a blessing," declares the latter stoutly.
"From my childhood I have always been
considered a beauty. And what an in
terminable nuisance it has been! I couldn't
do this and I couldn't do that, I couldn't
eat this nnd I couldn't cnt that, all bc
causo care of my looks had to bo con
sidered first nnd foremost.
"And I have fow real friends. Women
do not trust mo They fear that I shall
steal their sweethearts or their husbands
from them. Men nro nearly as bad. 'Sho
is too pretty to consider seriously,' they
declare. 'Sho never would be contented
to glvo up her social life and scttlo down.'
So, I havo grown to hato my own good
looks!"
Tho ordlnnry girl need never despair.
For life offers her many compensations
and naves her many problems that would
beset her pathway were sho the genius or
tho beauty she aspires to be and Is not.
Caterpillar
disgustedly. "You can never be beauti
ful, you glutton. You aro ugly and use
less " And ho flew on his way to his
nest.
Beautiful Friend Cardinal flew over
head and noticed the caterpillar. "How
sorry I am for you!" ho cried; "hero on
this lovely day jou do not sing, you do
not even look at the sunshine nnd flow
ers! You only eat and cnt and cat! How
stupid jou are, poor thing!"
Down underneath the cabbage. In the
moist shada of her broad sides, Mr. Snail
stopped for n rest. Ho heard what the
cardinal said and raised his shell enough
to look up the side of the big round cab
bago and see the caterpillar eating his
wav across tho top. "Oh, you great lazy
creature," ho called, "I name you Fatty
Caterpillar, for jou eat and eat, though
you nre already fat enough to burst. Do
you never think of friends? Do you al
ways and forever eat?"
"Why shouldn't I eat?" asked the cat
erpillar. "I eat to grow. Some day I
will bn a beautiful creature and you will
bo glnd to know me. Of course I eat
because I must."
"You bo a beautiful creature!" chimed
In Tommy Sparrow, who happened to
fly by Just In time to hear what the cat
erpillar said. "You will never be any
thing but a fat, greedy gluttonl You aro
not even good for eating, for you arm
yourself with such furry, poisonous
stickers. If you will take those off we
mnj like you better." And ho flew away
chuckling at his own little Joke.
Did Fatty Caterpillar care about the
teasing? Did he mind the nickname and
the tormenting? Did he feel sad because
nobody liked him? Not he! He ate
along across the top of the cabbage with
never a thought about the creatures
around him. He ate and ate and ate,
and as the day wore on he dreamed of
what he was to be.

Come to me, O ye children!
And whisper In my ear
What the birds and the winds are singing
In your sunny atmosphere.
For what are all our contrlvlngs.
And tho wisdom of our books,
When compared with your caresses
And the gladness of your looks?
Ye are better than all the ballads.
That ever were sung or said;
For ye are the living poems
And all the rest are dead.

ELLEN ADAIR CALLS ON
A WOUNDED SOLDIER
Continued from rage One

Paris.
Whether tho war will be over In Octo
ber or not, England la certainly putting
her best foot foremost In the matter of
recruiting.
Yesterdaj. July 4, I motored from Lon
don through Epping Forest and on to the
Red Cross Hospital In Saffron Waldon,
Essex. The beautiful little villages were
Just crammed with soldiers, and tho cot
tagers and the "Tommies" were on the
very best of terms. We stopped nt Chlng
ford, on tho edge of tho great Epping
Forest, and had tea at a wonderfully
quaint Inn, 400 years old, called "Tho
Pied Bull and Spotted Cow." The land
lady might have stepped out of the pages
of a storybook, with her red, cheeks and
white starched cap.
Epping Forest is perfectly beautiful,
with Its wonderful old trees, its ferns
and Its wild flowers and Its drifting shad
ows. The road winds through the deep
est and loneliest part of tho Immense for
est, but even there the Tommies were to
be found. One would have expected them
under tho circumstances, and by all ac
counts, to have been busily engaged In
courting the rustic maidens. But I was
struck by the manner in which they con
gregated together, Beamingly preferring
the cofnpany of their own sex to any
thing more seductive. They were all

something exhilarating about the wonder
ful air of lipping Forest. Few of theso
men have been to the front, and, there
fore, nil nro eager to get there. "Just
to havo a shot at tho Germans!" is their
one, nll-consumlng desire a deslro which
later will bo fully realized!
At length tho beautiful little village of
Saffron Waldon was reached, nnd wo ar
rived nt tho Red Cross Hospital. It waB
a wonderfully equipped place, and every
caro and every medical Invention and de
vice for tho benefit of tho poor soldiers
wore all In full play.
Some of tho poor fellows looked des
perately shattered In health Their nerves
had all gone to pieces, too, and ono young
man who had been walking about the
grounds without tho assistance of a nurse
or even a walking stick suddenly burst
into tears and cried like a baby. "Lots
of them do that," said ono of tho nurses,
"particularly If a door slams or any sud
den noise startles them. No human be
ing other than a soldier enn realize what
thoy'vo come through."
Wo had come particularly to visit an
old friend, Prlvnto Harry Edwards, who
had enlisted In tho Canadian Scottish
when tho war broko out, and who had
been badly wounded on April 22 nt tho
second battle of Ypres.
"It was a terrible time," said he, "and

A SIMPLE GOWN WHICH COULD BE

A GREAT deal of un

given to the golng-away
girl every summer.
Fashion artists design
elaborate traveling cos

and evening gowns and
all tho other parapher
nalia which goes to make
up the triumph of the
real summer girl. But
what about tho little girl
who stays at homo?
Doesn't sho need dainty
summer frocku and fluffy
hats nB well as any
other? And If said stay-at-home
miss happens to
bo very; busy making her
own clo'thes at least, her
own light Bummer frocks,
the subject of theso
frocks will stand some
careful consideration.
It Is best to make a
most painstaking selec
tion of a pattern when
you aro planning a made-at-homo
gown. The
reason Is plain t horn
should be no elaborate
trimming, no difficult
angles, and, above all, no
flounces and ruffles, for
nothing looks more
dilapidated when they do
become worn than home
made ruffles.

by tho aid of cylinders. This, of course,
was dono when tho wind was favorable,
nnd tho French, unablo to Bland tho tor
tures of tho gas, had to retire The lino
was thus loft open for tho Germans to
ndvnnio through, nnd two British divi
sions were exposed to fire.
"At 10:30 p. m. my regiment, tho 16th
Battalion of tho Canadian Scottish, and
tho 10th Battalion of Canadian Infantry
wero ordered to retako tho trench lost
by tho French nnd to drlvo tho enemy
out of tho wood. Tho chnrgo took placo

but nt a terrible loss. With 2200 men wo
held tho trench ngalnst 8000 Prussian
Guards and 35,000 cavnlry. But when all
was over and victory won thero wcro
only a very few hundred of us left.
HAND TO HAND IN THE DAR1C
"That wild chargo In tho dark was a
thrilling affair. A dozen times I tripped
nnd fell over tho bodies of dead and
wounded Germans, nnd came faco to face
with living ones In hand-to-hand battles.
It's a queer feeling lighting a man for
j-our life, but when your blood Is up
you don't caro what you do. You feel
qulto mad you havo to feel mad or you
couldn't run cold steel through every
man you meetl
"Just toward the end of tho engage

but I felt no pain, only Inconvenience
from tho blood pouring Into the eye. Then
I was shot below the kneecap, nnd Just

bomb-thrower nnd his nijmo was Mundy.

he held a bomb a little too long befero
throwing It among the Germans, and It
exploded, tearing oft tho whole, of Ills

all the way down! , .
"Ho was quite conscious and could
epeak, so I carried him nbout ft quarter
of a mtle-dragged him, rather, for my
kneecap wasn't exactly comfortable. He
wns nwfully brave all the time, poor
Mundy, but suddenly he went quite Wad.
and bolted In the darkness straight Into
the German lines, where, of course, ho
was Instantly shot to pieces. It was ft
good thing, too, for he was In a lerrlblo
condition.
BETWEEN FIRE AND FIRB.
"Another awful scene occurred when
the French retired. They called out to
the civilians that tha Germans had
broken through and were advancing from
Ypres. Tho women all became panic
stricken and started to run for Ypres,
which was being heavily shelled by tho
Germans. It was a terrible position for
tho poor creatures on one side tho'Ger
mans, nnd on the other tho burning city
of Ypres.
BARRICADE OF DEAD.
"Tho dead wcro so thick that we
used them as barricades. Many of them
had lain there since tho first battle for
Calais In October. Many nnd many a
tlmo havo I shot from behind n barrl
cado of dead heaped up to a height of
six feet In ono long line.
GERMANS WASTE SOLDIERS,
"That is ono method of German war
fare, you know. The first line advances
and Is mowed down like corn by our
artillery. .Tho next lino then advances
and la In turn shot down, falling upon
the bodies of their comrades. When suf
ficient men nre shot down to form a
barricade, tho Germans continue opera
tions behind tho wall of dead.

thing ono can Imagine, You sco men

their lungs to pieces. I myself hud tho
merest touch of It once, and I can nBsuro

"Boforo this bnyonet wound In tho leg
laid mo out altogether," conUnucd Prl
vnto Edwards, "I visited a nunnery near
Cnestrc, In northern France, and was
shocked to sco tho nuns had been killed
and horribly mutilated. Going through
tho Belgian villages was a horror to me.
Women and children nnd old men wcro
lying everywhere, nnd tho women. In par
ticular, wero outrageously mutilated, I
talked with lota of small Belgian boys,
who had had their hands cut off, and
thcro wero many dead boys, Just chil
dren, lying around with their feet cut off.
GERMAN ATROCITIES.
"Tho ntrocltlcs were bo terrlblo that 1
hato even to think of them, and I only
wish I could forget tho Bights I saw In
Belgium nnd Flandors. Threo of our men
wcro crucified by tho Germans. I saw
ono of them bayoneted up against a barn
door nnd that's another thing I wish I
could forget.
"Our dressing stations were, of course,
perpetually shelled by the Germans, and
tho wounded were always fired on as they
wcro carried off tho field. One shell hit a
Red Cross wagon, killing and completely
carrying away six founded soldiers in
side. But ubove tho roar of battle tho
chauffeur didn't hear anything odd and
ho drovo on to Stccnstardt. It was only
when he arrived thero that he discovered
the trugedy nnd his empty wagon."
TORTURED BY WOUNDS
"Did you suffer much pain with jour
threo sepcrato wounds?" Inquired one of
the partv.
"I'm afraid they did hurt a little," said
Private Edwards reluctantly nnd In qulto
an apologetic tone. You seo for 19 days
after I had no medical attention, but had
to Ho around In the trenches, my leg
roughly bandaged up by mysolt and a
large bullet below the kneecap, as well as
the bayonet cut, which wns 10 Inches
long and very deep. But what worried
mo more was that I went totally blind
for several weeks. A high-explosive shell
had burst near me, and tho concussion
blinded me. My sight has come back at
last, and I have very much to bo thank
ful fori Don't you think so?"
Wo mado no reply, for tho horrors of
the war has gripped us all too tightly for
mero words.
