JUDGMENT BY FAITH.
The Nautilus.
Judge not by deeds and things, take
the good heart and the good motives
on trust. Believe in it. affirm it.
To affirm a thing Is literally to
make it firmer. To glorify the good
self of another is to set going the ma
chinery by which goodness manifests.
When others believe us good, or
wise, or lovely, we catch the vibra
tions by thought transference and be
gin to believe In ourselves as true,
beautiful and good. And whatsoever
things we believe In we think upon;
and we become like that which we
think upon. Also we act accordingly.
If you want to see beauty in this
world, Just believe in those übout you.
GREENERY FOR TABLE.
The prettiest kind of greenery for
the dining room table is made by
planting the seed of grapefruit and
sowing them thickly. In a short time
the tiny shoots appear and the leaves
begin to unfold, and soon there is a
mass of rich, glossy green which is
not affected by beat, as so many deli
cate ferns are. It is pretty, inexpen
sive and will outlast a dozen ordinary
ferns.
THE SELFISHNESS OF
UNMARRIED WOMEN.
In the January Woman’s Home Com
panion appears an article entitled.
"The Girl Who Does Not Marry,” in
the course of which the author makes
the following comments on the Selfish
ness of Unmarried Women, and tells
the following story:
“The temptation to he selfish is, I
believe stronger for the unmarried
girl than for the one who is married.
There are many such girls. I know
one who will never marry and whom
the world in general would call a very
saintly person. She has devoted her
life to her aged parents and spent
herself lavishly for a nephew and niece
but her devotion has had something
too personal, almost fanatical in it.
By constantly sacrificing herself she
succeeded in making her parents a
very selfish pair of old people. Not
content with that, she dedicated her
self quite as extravagantly to tho
nephew and niece. For them sho
slaved; and came, in time, to believe
that they were wholly dependent on
her efforts, whereas there were oth
ers closely connected with them who
would gladly have rendered them what
might have been a more wise serv
ice. But ’Aunt May’ was by this
time wholly possessed by the idea that
she was necessary to the children. A
more keen observer would have seen
that it was, rather, thp children who
had become necessary to her. By her
unthinking admirers it was often said:
’May is so unselfish! She lives for
nothing else but those two children.’
“But as time went on the selfish
ness in the mask of unselfishness be
gan to show its true face. The op
portunity came for the boy and girl
to have advantages and pleasures
apart from 'Aunt May.' A favorite
uncle proposed sending the boy for
three months to a summer camp en
tirely away from her and another aunt
wished to give the girl one year in
Europe. But ‘Aunt May’ was hy this
time so ‘devoted’ to the children that
she could not endure to he separated
from them. Others (again the un
thinking) said: ‘Well, May has cer
tainly earned the right to keep them
with her. Hasn't she slaved for them?
But those who had eyes to see saw
the sorry spectacle of selfishness so
well masked as unselfishness that
even the woman herself, a woman
with a fine mind sho is too, was
cheated and deceived hy the disguise.
The two young people for whom she
would give her lifeblood are now the
ones who are being sacrificed."
WOMAN’S SPHERE.
Few subjects have received the at
tention of the world at large for the
past few years as that much-discuss
ed subject, “the sphere of woman” —
what is woman’s sphere and why she
should or should not confine herself
and her energies to that sphere.
Among everything that has been said
nothing has come so straight to the
point and disposed of the subject in
so thoroughly logical, convincing and
satisfactory a manner as the follow-

ing article from Hearst’s Magazine for
January:
Let the woman stay at home!
One of the pioneer preachers of the
West used to stop at the house oi
the writer's father. Upon the occa
sion of one of his visits the writer's
mother asked: “Why don't you bring
your wife with you sometimes?”
And his reply was: “Women and
cows should stay at home.”
By all means the woman's sphere
is the home; hut we must re-define
the word home.
Home used to mean the four square
walls of the woman’s hut. Over tho
fence, down the lane and throughout
the wide world was no home of hers.
There was man’s place, and there his
adventure.
But unfolding time lias taught the
womun that it is working against cruel
odds to try to keep a clean home in
a dirty city.
The home instinct in her has gone
out to the end of the earth, seeking
to defend itself against the remotest
environment.
“She is concerned with a treaty with
a. foreign country Just as she is about
the price of bread in her neighbor
hood market. To admonish the woman
to remain within her four walls and
to content herself with what she can
learn and do there is to commit her
to ineffectual motherhood and wife
hood,” writes a woman recently.
So she is interested in voting, sho
wants a say in the choice of them that
make and administer laws, she wants
to know about systems of education
and to assist in determining who shall
teach, she must know how the church
is managed, she attends the woman s
clubs and discusses philosophy, sociol
ogy and literature.
She has not left home. She has
enlarged her home. She is realizing
that to redeem one spot of eartli ono
must redeem the whole earth.
Instead of seizing her babies and
fleeing to safety in tho war, she pro
poses to stop war.
Instead of healing her alcohol-dis
eased boy she declares she will abol
ish the free vending of poison.
To keep her table wholesome she
gets after the food inspectors of the
city, state and nation with a sharp
stick.
She not only protests her daughters,
she says that nowhere in the nation
shall there be traffic in virtue.
She has not deserted her home. She
is building walls about her country
and making of the whole nation a
home.
And she will never be satisfied until
with broom and soap and antiseptic
she has cleaned tho world and made
the globe a fit place' for children and
a decent place for men.
BEAUTY UNADORNED.
If you’re <i subscriber to the Inter
national Magazine you’re probably
Wondering why in the world the Jan
uary number doesn’t come. Well, have
patience, it’ll he along just as soon
as the editors can find a new cover
that will satisfy the postal authori
ties. They’ve tried to revise the pres
ent one. but their efforts have not
met with the approval of Postmaster !
Morgan. He Just can’t think of let
ting ills mail clerks get a glimpse of
that pernicious picture.
It’s merely another case of high art
and sordidly material minds clashing,
according to George Sylvester Viereek,
editor of the magazine. And what
makes him so angry that he has brok
en two pairs of eyeglasses and of
fended his new office hoy is the fact
that the picture on the cover was
drawn to illustrate an article on “The
New Freedom," not by President Wil
son, but by Havelock Ellis.
This is a new kind of new free
dom, entirely different from the one
meant by President Wilson. The-chief
executive’s new freedom has for Its
basis the unshackling of the chains
which “big business" is supposed to
ha-ve wound ’round this country. Mr.
Ellis’ new freedom is merely a cam-

He pictured a slim young lady pois
