The Restless W oman: A Dis
tinct and Dreadful Type
in America.
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Copyright, Mil, by Amriican-Journal -Eiaminrr.
Th rcctlm woman may to found hera
and thtra,' In every part of tha world.
But only In America la ahe davaloprd to
a dlatlnct and dreadful typ.
Look obout you and you will find her.
Fortunate ara you
If you do not find
htr In your own do
micile: and atlll
mora fortunate if,
belnf a woman, you
do not recognize
her aa ' youraelf.
And, again, for
tunate are you If
having recognlied
yourself, you' aet
about the great
work of changing
your type.
The reetleta wo
man aaakea In the
mernlnc usually
after a poor.
of broken urobrr.
to plan enough work and pleaaura, duty
and chanty to keep ten women buay. ,
There la no method In her planning;
and before lilgli noon ahe la all ua-struna-
In her i ort to decide which of
the nine plan must be abandoned rn I
ordor that ho can carry out one f
them. -Whichever alio deciles to do, ahe
Is aura to regret it soon afterward and
bemoan the fact that she d d not select
one of tha other plana to occupy her
time.
All day long the rcstlesl woman is
fussing about the house, or going In and
out, remembering things ahe has forgot
ten, or forgetting thlnga ahe baa tried
to renumber. She takea ten atcoa where
ahe need only take one; and the sound
of opening and ahuttlng door, and hur
ried footsteps and ewuhlng skirts, follows
ber everywhere.
When she tries to aettle down to read
a book she Invariably remembers some
unfinished duty which calls her away,
and she rarely completes a letter with
out Interrupting herself three tlmea to
go and do something else.
The restless woman was or.co encased
In th form of a beautiful yojrur girl.
Attracted by her physical charms, a
young man asked tho privilege of cull
ing. It was a aummer flay and a sum
mer h'me. and no sooner tvaa the young
men aeated facing the restleM irlrl than
she suggested a stroll is tic open air;
she thought the house seemed close.
o.i.. ,h.y sallleil; that six squares had
not been traversed when the reslleea girl
suggested an Ice cream parlor. nd ere
tho cream was consuned rhe proroeM
the roller skating rink, and after that
the movlns; picture show.
Never before or since In my life."
quoth the young man, sptaing of the
matter afterward, "did I suffer such Irri
tation of spirit aa during that call. I
would rather spend my life In solitary
confinement than In the society of a girl
that la afflicted with chronic reatleaa
Eem"! The reatleaa woman never amiunla to
anything, no matter bow great are her
(Ids and opportunities.
She cannot make progress in music.
In art. In literature. In aoclal or chari
table work, while dominated by thla little
demon of restlessness.
She wastes her vital forces In foolish,
petty, senseless ways, and has nothing
left to give to a great purpose.
She la a most unsatisfactory friend,
for her reatleaa spirit causes her to
break her engacemanta, and aha never
listens with any focused attention white
others are talking. Her mind wanders,
and aha shows by bar manner that she
wanta to get away.
Th restless woman Is always dlsaatls-.
fled with her life and always believes
It Is the fault of others that she does
not reach any goal.
The habit of restlessness Is a vice.
It eats Into the character and destroys
the moral fibre and prevents the develop
ment of Individuality and power, which
ant factora In Immortality.
For the soul Is mads of concentration
of our divine powers.
If we waste these powera In aasless
ways. In habits of thinking to no purpose,
we waste the soul and fall to build a
place for ourselves In the Immortal
realms which are mental planes of e
lilcnce. Though you keep all the ten com
mandments and believe In the orthedos
creed of your church, ynt you cannot
enter th heaven of which you dream
unless you learn the meaning of the
wr-rds concentration, rest, silence, peac
patience, perseverance, will.
And you can never make any man or
child happy, aa a wife or mother, until
you overcome tho vlcloua and destructive
habit of restlessness.
Learn how to keep still.
Learn how to alt down and read a book,
with your mind on what you are reading.
When It starts to run away, pull It back
as yon would rein In a restive steed yon
wen driving. (
Learn how to listen and to show that
you are llstenins to what your friend Is
sarlng..
Learn how to decide cn a course of
tctlcn and to carry It out. Leans how
to resolve that you will stay at home fo.
a certain number of hours, snd do cer
tain things, and enjoy them, and do not
permit anything to change your plane.
Learn bow to keep your engagements
All this means building character.
It Is good work to undertake this Kea
Viar.

John Calvin and John Knox had a deal

Is permanent but change.
