HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH LIFE'S PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED "Dear Mrs. Woodrow: What would i you say to one who though very | young in years is absolutely tired of j living, if living means the same thing j it has meant up to now? "Let me explain myself. 1 have a! most awful confession to make. It j is this: 1 find myself to be absolutely j inefficient. 1 have often read and people have told me that every hu-| man being has some gift or some tal ent for doing at least one thing a j little better than any one else in the world. I find this true of others, but i try as I will, I can't think of any-1 thing 1 could do so well that some | one else could not do it better. "This letter may sound as if it i came from one who pitied herself so; much and had dwelt on* her imagin- j ary failures so long that she has' grown morbid, but please believe me. | Mrs. Woodrow, this is uoi u. e case, j Even the work I am doing now is j not entirely satisfactory to my em-1 ployers, despite the fact that I try j harder than any of my co-workers, j At manual work I am absoiuieiy a failure, and my mental abilities give ! me no reason for bragging. I ant self-conscious, awkward and taciturn, j 1 don't think there is anything to be ■ done for such as I. I must ue one of society's misfits. "The whole idea of my general use lessness is driving me crazy, especi-' ally when I see what energetic and capable girls are accomplishing these days. Is there any nope tor me? Despairingly, "ELINOR." It seems strange to get such a let ter as this from a far western State, where the skies are so blue and the air is crystal clear and one can lift one's eyes to the hills whence cometh , strength. My dear, you are like a I chrysalis which has spun about itself a wet) of fog. Break through it and spread your bright wings in the sun light; it is only an imaginary fog, anyway, and the mind that-u "ap | able of creating an imaginary fog is j capable of dissipating it. | If you had a plant in your window I that you were trying to make grow, j which 'of two courses would you pur- I sue? Suppose that it didn't respond i to the care you gave it as quickly jas you thought it should, would you ! say: "Why, you poor, spindly thing, you are not worth the attention I give you: yours for the ash heap?" I don't believe you would. I be lieve t hat you would bestow far more attention on it than on other more j thriving plants; you would coax and : pet it along until at lasc you were re | warded by seeing it burst into I splendid bloom. If you didn't you ; would not only be a quitter, but you would have no maternal instinct, which is inconceivable. Neither do I believe that you would be as unkind to others as you are to yourself.

You praise them to others, to thejnselvos and to yourself, and yet all that is really and entirely your own—yourself—you treat as you would not a plant, a pet animal or another human being. Your letter is full of'negations. "I am not efficient," "I ant one of so ciety's misfits," "i ant self conscious, awkward and taciturn," &c.
