The Way
By CLAUKNCK rOHTKK tit AN K.
I lost the way to Eden; Oh the way lay fair to trace
I left ray guide a-etandlng In old Yarrow's market place.
Her eyes they held the mirage of Elysium whore we fared.
But I went thlmble-rlgglng, where the gypsies' torches flared.
The stained dawn led me further to forget, and then regret,
But Yarrow's Square was empty when the second sun had set.
Ferchance the way to Eden lies across the waste land, west.
Perchance by dreamland , rose paths where the woodlands wlsper rest.
But scent of Summer leafage and the murmur of the sea,
Or Eden, with Its glory never more may call to me.
I'm waiting at the crossways, where the highroads pause for grace,
For heart's desire that wandered from old Yarrow's market place.

An Odd Animal Tliat Coined an Odd Phrase
Being "On the Wallaby" in Australia Means Looking for a Job
By GARRETT P. RKItVISS.
The queer little Australian animal
called the wallaby, a humble member of
the wonderful kangaroo family, hns tho
uncommon honor of furnishing a phraao
to human speech. It Is slang, but a
very effective and unobjectionable kind.
To be "on the wallaby." or "on the
wrllaby trail." slgniries In Australia to
be hunting a Job or looking for work.
It is based on the wandering habits of
the wallaby, which goes eagerly search
ing about In the bush for Its living.
Helng small, the wallaby excites
Inughter, but its giant relative, the
kangaroo, is too formilnhle to appear
very amusing. It Is as tall as a man,

I wish all stage-struck young women
oould have heard a young actress' con

She went on the
stage at the age of
111. She Is perhaps
26 or 28 now. She
married an actor
who draws a good
salary and never

roles In good and

talked to me of her plans for the future.
"Oh, I have been offered some very
good roles," she said, "by several mana
gers. I am not quite sure which I shall
accept. My husband opened last night in
New York. The play he Is In scored a
great success and will run there sev

There la one curious fact about the

singular when we reflect upon the great
antiquity of the order of the marsupials.
It almost looks as If this extraordinary
Australian animal represents a survival
of a style of animal architecture which

Yes. It Is too bad, because we are quite
happy together, and the one thing we de
sire In life Is a home.
I am so very, very tired of travel and

to try and have a home when your work

What Makes a Girl

little gray mouse of a woman, simply be

In him, and combines with or becomes
the complement of his nature.
Hut there Is possible a certain amount
of generalising as to what makes for
charm In women. Sweetness of disposi
tion, reliability. ell poised common
sense, lapablllty for sane, loyal affec
tion, quiet tnet. unselfishness and a
sturdy willingness to play fair, adilel to
feminine sweetness have a
charm for
creature
Hut the point to remember is that while
all women are imteutlal mothers, men re
main always In some essentials boys.
Men need to be understood, but n'4r r
lrlvon with unwelcome advice; they want
to ho sympathised with, but not Inter
fered with; they erave woman's frlond'y
Interest, but they don't want her ever to
suppose that she Is controlling or regu
lating or making over their lives.
There porhaie lies man's greatest boy
ishness he loves fb think he la doing It
ill himself, but he wants you at his
side to admire him and encourage him
the while he Is doing it.
Men want affection, but they don't
want to bo surfeited with It. They hate
to be taken for granted or . nagged at
because they fall to come up to expec
tations.
Some girls have a cynical little theory
that the way to keep a man's affection
Is to "keep him guessing" about their
own. Any man worth having desires
some response In friend or sweetheart or
wife not a mere artificial response stim
ulated by himself, but the natural chem-
al answer of nature to nature, the un
selfish affection that darea to give loy
ally without fear that It belittles Itself
In giving.
Charm In woman Is not an entirely
elusive thing, nor yet Is it quite so
tangible that it may be bought over the
counter of life. But It springs primarily
fAm a richness of nature that makes
woman give out to life Instead of merely
drawing In from It.
Charm la a sort of a perfume that a
sweet, fine, loving and lovable woman
exhales. To some it Is the free gift of
the gods. By others It may be cultivated
and cultivated most largely In the very
way In which most women fall to strive
for It.
Her Is Its little open secret: not by
wondering "How I may be lovable?"
shall you become lovable, not by think
ing In terms of yourself shall you be
come desirable. Hut by looking on soma
one for whom you car and thinking,
"W hat does he want of life? What does
his nature need of friendship and under
standing?" and then trying to fulfill the
understood wants of another nature,
shall you most easily cultivate charm.
The girl who conquers her selfishness
and hysterical desire to become morbid
and unhappy over trifles, who teaches
herself not to demsnd as a right the 1
gifts of admiration and love which have .
to be won and deserved, la In a fair way
to be attractive. And to her attractive
ness aha may add actual charm If she is
sweet, amiable, equable, loyal, merrily
willing to play the game of life, to take
what comes to her and to offer to men
understanding and sympathy Instead of
demanding It from them.
