"I Know that she spoke In anger, and j selves every time we allow ancer to pos iat DeoDle are not responsible for what Sf"" '"' that people are not responslbl they say In anger. I forgive her, but I can never forget what she said." In this speech, overheard on one of the ferry lioats that t piles Its way out Of , New York, rellev t Ing the congestion of business folk and shoppers and placing them at or i' near the doors of their s ub u r b a n homes. there If sui:h a fixture of indiscriminate folly and wisdom as we V find meat and po tatoes in our morn jmf Ing plate of pure. 1 y,:: because homemade, hash. There Is wisdom In forgiveness, if only for our own mental and physical comfort, and for the clearness of our complexions. But there la wisdom, the wisdom of foresight. In not forgetting. Character, like history, Is likely to re peat Itself and the glaring manifestation of a fault Is a signpost the prudent will heed. Forgetting the falsehood that has been told, the gluttony of drunkenness displayed, the tattling discovery, the sel fishness hown. Is to invite a repetition of the fault, an invitation that will prob. ably make ourselves the victims. Not forgetting does not mean the contemptible resort of mean minds, which they have meanly named "getting even." The per son of noble character, which Is only another term for one In whom self rcBect lives and Is active, knows that to wreak revenge is to sow a boomerang. It Is a gun that kicks. The person who has "got even" pays for the sorry luxury In sick ness of soul and body. "The man or woman who says "I have waited and plotted for this and my revenge is sweet" Is lying to himself or herself. Revenge agrees with the body as well as does a slowly, surely destroying poison. Rvemra la bitter. Not forgetting Is merely the response of the mind to a danger si anal, a prudent preparing- for what may happen. The folly of mingling wisdom and un wisdom lies In the statement: "People are not accountable for what they say in anger." The soup Is accountable for the bits of bread, the meat and vegetables Its violent boiling bring to the surface. The bread and meat and vegetables are as surely parts of the soup, as is the water in whioh they are boiled. People are accountable for what they say In anger. They utter In a rage what they have thought before and wrath Ives them the courage to say. And they are responsible for becoming angry. The drunkard Is liable to full censure and punishment for what he does while In hit cups because he Is responsible for getting drunk. . They strike off at white heat the words they have been heaping . up in secret thought chambers, unlovely storage, for the time when they would not be afraid to speak them. The difference between words spoken in moments of amiability and those uttered In anger Is a difference not In the spirit of the speaker, but In the degree of fear of consequences with which ha Is Inspired. The law considers a man accountable for what he does In anger. It does not ay to him: "Tou killed this man while you were angry. Therefore you were not responsible." li. stead it places man slaughter, slaying doio during a quarrel or In a fit of rage, high in the rank of accountable crimes. Mout states place It next to murder deliberately planned, and the punishment Is proportionate. Anger like war, la a relic bt barbarism. The spectacle of large bodies of men hootlng each other to death because ihelr countries could not agree about a national Issue Is hideous. The man with eyes ablaze with wrath, the woman with d ecks aflame and volea har.'h or trenib '"S wtlh anger. Is hideous. Both are horrible sights because they revral the i nreasonlng beast let loose. That life Is the most successful thr.t 'fits every case at the bar of reason. Tht the most valuable cttlsen who de clftt what It is beat to do and who celm:- ana inflexibly does it. Americana are only beginning to learn economy. Poverty we have known and hardships we have borne, but how to economise little things to great ends Is n art whose rudiments we are only be ginning to grasp. And one of the prlr.-1 elplts we have to learn Is that waste of j money la not so impoverishing as was'.e Of emotion. If the slow, staid, serious folk of Holland pulled down all the dikes that protect their low lying land and let the sea pour over and drown It we would y the patient little nation had gone mad. But that Is what we do for our- anlty, the least of all the reason, should forbid the raging of the fires of wrath. Kvery time you feel yourself growing angry, run to a mirror. See how old and ugjy you look. You would hardly know yourself, eh? Neither would those of your family, or friends who see your face distorted. Cupid, subtle creat ure, and Ingenuiotis, scampers away at the sight and sometimes he does not re turn. Many a broken engagement was shattered by a fit of anger, and broken not by the angry one, hut hy the ont who witnessed the anger. "I couldn't stand her temper." Is the excuse of many a fleeing husband brought Into court to say why he abandoned his life partner. Falsehoods often masquerade ns proverbs. One of these Is the ancient untruth that, for the words siwken and deeds done in anger, we are not accountable. Occasionally we hear complaint of someone that he Is "unfeeling." But It is the "unthinking" person who works the most destruction. Because they do not think they become angry. Because they do not think they leave a trail of wreckage wrought by their wrnth. And because they do not think they reflect behind a little barred door. In a Uttle gravellike room, upon the actunl' ac countability for anger.

Mrs. Iysanib r John Appletun Is a woman of average stature, but when sho stepped" from her door the other inoinlutc she seemed ulmont a Kianless in sice, for she was filled with a Noble Purpose. When a woman starts out.wltU u Noble Purpose one can almost see her grow. Mrs. Iysander John Appleton's Noble rurponn was a deslro to economize In the purchase of her fall hat. ' "It Is wicked and foolish,'' she said, for me to pay a bltf price for a hat when Kysander John has to work " si hard for his money and I need so nrany new things this fall. I havo a bird left from last season's hut that looks as jrood as new, ami some velvet I have never used. 1 will take them to a milliner and Hsk her to use them for trimming, and all I will need to buy Is a shape." - Ho she started on l er way, carrying the bird 3H Kood as new and the velvet aha had never used, and as she walked along she became enthused with a spirit of self-approval, and under Its expanding Influence she Rrew taller and brnuder, till pussershy on the street turned to look at this very Surge wumun, who from the exalted louk on her face plainly ' had qj soul us larae as her body, MrB. Appletou entered tho millinery store and held tut the bird and velvet with, which she hoped, to reduce her bill. "They are as Rood as new," she ex. plalmd to the haughty milliner in a voice showing sluns of timidity. "As good as new! Those things as good an newl" the huuKhty mt'liner screamed In a voice so filled with scorn all her assistants cume running. "The idea of using old stuff like that!" ' The hauiihty inillliRr looked ut the bird as good as new, and the velvet that had never been ued, and ut Mrs. Appletou, with Buuh scornful amaze that Mrs. Ap pletou felt the expanding influence of her noble purpose oozing out of her. Hho began to shrink anil shrink and shrink, and In. an upologetle whisper threw -the bird ps good as new uud the velvet which had never been used Into the waste basket. "I see I was 'mistaken," the bald timidly;. "I will be governed by jour better Judgment." The hutighty ml i 11 tier miffed In scorn, and reduced Mrs. Appleton's tlze auuther foot, and then sold her a forty-dollar. hat, though she hud counted on gelling off with less than S3. ' The scornful looks of the haughty mil liner followed her aa sho left the store, and she shrank some more, and was so reduced in size when she reached the first crossing that a policeman lifted her up and carried her. across the street. "You are too little," he - said gently, depositing her on the w alk, - "to come downtown by yourself." She had left the house a giantess filled with a noble purpose, and returned su shrunken In size that she could not reach to the keyhole!
