Happiness
What It is, and How to Get It
Hy ADA PATTERSON
Happiness 13 a gentle exhlleratlon of th
soul depending upon deep and frequent
draught! of content.
It Is largely a habit. In great measure
a point of view.
Happiness must m
not be confounded
with Joy. Joys dot

and there. Happi
ness Is a radiance
that sheds Itself
upon It and that
can be mado con
tinual. I was about
to say perpetual,
and will so say,

precious things become ours.
Life rebukes the greedy gatherer of
benefits, but rewards him who counts
upon one. Do we want success? Is that
the neynoie of our lives, tho craving of
our being, tha cry of our hearts? Then,
sometime, somehow we win It. Do we
want love more than aught else. Then
some heart assuredly will answer to the
call ot ours. Hut It we ask for success
and love, wisdom, fame, we may miss

from them and Independent of them,
Joys are occasional visitors, rapturously
welcomed, and capricious as to their
goings and comings. Happiness Is a state
of mind that can be attained by any ono.
Joys are accidents that, may befall us.
Happiness Is a condition we ourselves
create.
riovlewlng the long procession of per
sbns I have known so welt that their
soul states were readable to me, I rank
as the happiest those who did not depend
upon others for their happiness. Some
of those were hUBbands. some wives,
somo parents, or brothers or sisters. The
lives of all were Interwoven with others
in the commonest of life's relationships.
But they did not lean upon the other
Individual in that tie as a ladder against
the side of tho house. It Is omnloua for
such ladder against the sldo of the house.
It Is omnloua for such ladder If the
house be a crumbling decaying one.
There aro ladders that have supports of
their own, that are able to do their work
of hoisting humans to higher positions,
yet that stand sturdily upon their own
support.
Persons wise, cither Innately or be
cause they aro of tho rare folk who
distill wisdom quickly from experience),
do not expect to derive the full measure
of their happiness from anyone. Having
judicial minds, able to put themselves In
another's place, they know that It la
asking too much from anyone, to keep
tho cup of someone's else content full
and sweetened exactly to his taste.
Tho Ideal hero of a novel may perform
this miracle, but no average human be
ing ever did, alnd most human beings
are average. Except In ono of the tran
sient Joy states no one has ever enjoyed
being anyone's Ideal, for being some-
one's'ldeal entails living up toe the heights
established by the dreamer. A young
woman complained to me of the Idol
atrous feeling she had Inspired In a dis
tant relative.
"I hate being worshipped," she said.
"It Is so hard i to live up to the plans
and specifications." Therefore, wise folk
do not Idolize others because the wise
are' also Just and they do not want to be
Idolized. They expect an average of
human conduct from the persons closest
to their lives, and without making their
efforts too plain, try to raise tho average
by a good example of their own.
To them, friends r.re not a necessity,
but a luxury. They enjoy them, but they
can get on comfortably wlthput them.
Pom. taught by tho defections of Sue
or Harry, they have learned to stand
alone. Tho first stago In tho evolution
that follows is bitterness. The second Is
Plain. The last Is happiness, that strong,
calm happiness of self-reliance whose
price Is experience.
Continuing to review the procession of
persons I have known close to the front
rank of happy folk I see the group of
those who know what they want Happi
ness attends these because when we know
what we want we go after it and get it.
The world is crowded with wobble folk.
They want this today and that tomorrow
and yesterday they wanted something dif
ferent from either; wobble folk are
greedy folk. They want to corner life's
Joys. They would like-to form a merger
of all the desirable things of earth and
be at the head of the merger. In youth,
at the threshold of life, If everyone knew
what he wanted everyone would be sure
to secure It, (or nothing can resist the
continuous attack of the person who
wants one good thing from life. We can
noe effectually ask of life many things

Civilised people lived In Egypt ten
thousand ycarB agoso long ago that
the North Star, which, ftom tho days of
the Phoenician navigators, when com
merce was young,
until our time,
has guided ships
at sea, was then
many degrees
from tho pole of
the heavens
while another and
a brighter star
glittered not far
from the north

serene happiness Is those who havo the established this fact, which must uj.p a
consciousness of having done their best very astonishing to those who still i
with the equipment which nature has tain the old belief that tho world Itsell
gven them. Every man and woman has
n gift. If only for shoeing horses or mak
ing cheeses. Ho is happy who knows
when evening sets Its grey seal of silence
upon his labors, that he has made good
shoes and that each horse has gone forth
from his blacksmith shop well shod. Tho
woman who pushes back the lost mpuhl
has the pleasant pride of having fash
ioned her cheeses as richly and firmly
and cleanly as she could, The pleasure
of the work consciously done Is one of
the greatest that life affords. Moreover,
It Is a permanent ono. The rewards ot
our work nrny not seem to be what it
deserves. But the deep satisfaction of
doing our own work In our own way,
no better perhaps, but a little different
than any other has done It, no power nor
combination of powers In the world can
take from us.
Happy are those persons who are un
lonely. Among the concepts of the statu
of perpetual punishment Is that of an
utter hopeless and perpetual loneliness.
A great teacher used to say: "Let mo
never hear one of my pupils complain
ot being lonely. No Intelligent person
ever need be lonely. The resources ot tho
developed intellect are so many, thoughts
are such good fellows, we should never
sorely miss frequent association with
other persons," An old clergyman said
In my hearing, "My child, whatever sor
rows the world may heap upon you, bo
comforted by the fact that you havo a
wett trained mind." We lean always to
ward pty for tho only child in a family.
We think of htm as self-centered, Intro
spective, of an age far In advance ot his
years, a child that has been cheated of
most ot his childhood because his com
panions have been those ot another gen
eration. Tet there la compensation for
this state even In a child, and that Is
his seit-aurnciency. sucn a cnua win

By MRS. FRANK LEARNED.
Author of "The Etiquette of New York
Today."
Early in llfo it Is wejl to realize that
the spirit of restlessness must be resisted
as an enemy to a normal condition ot
mind or body. Many people think that to
achieve results they must hurry mako a
stir. Good work and hurry do not go
together. Clear thought and flurry can
not dwell In the mind at the samo time.
Tho person who succeeds In life has
steadiness, ot mind, self-dlsclpllne ana
quiet thinking. Tho mind that Is not
flurried by eventB or activities balances
the person who achieves good results.
The mind that is clouded by flurry can
hot face opportunities or solve problems.
Some persons think that they Impress
ethers with their importance by" talking
about being terribly busy and telling ot
the rush In which they live. There Is
no time for any pleasant, friendly Inter
change of thought They are "going on''
somewhere and have not a moment to
stop. One feels, when talking with them,'
as though one were whirling along In a
motor or on an express train.
To live In a state of unrtkt and rever-
lih excitement is not conducive to happi
ness. It is better to try to do a few little
things which are Worth white than many
ot the things which require a continual
drive and are a waste ot energy or time,
and certainly waste of peace of mind.
There are numberless llttlo tasks ot
every-day life which need to be done.
A good way to cure restlessness Is to do
them, and to do them as well as we can.
It Is a very pleasant thought that there
Is generally something that each ono ot
us can do, some very little thing, per
haps, some small, lowly task or act, but
which no one else can doi or there Is
ei roe one to whom no one can be qulto
as useful as we may be. Too efetn we
ncsjicck mose 111110 tnings which are
plainly before us, almost asking to be
done.
A girl who Is on the watch for the
little duties at home and does them cheer
fully and gladly will find that they help
to make happiness.
It may not seem a great thing to go on
an errand for a mother, or to spend an
hour In mending, or In arranging a room,
or putting a desk In order, or making a
delicious dessert to please a father; but
perhaps these are some of the little dally
things demanding to he done. Any form
of work is worth doing, and if It is donfc
In the right spirit It Is sure to brighten
our own Jives and the lives ot others.
The trouble Is that the spirit of rest
lessness creates a desire to do anything
else but what Is the affair of the mo
ment. There is a, discontent with present
surroundings, a visionary longing for
which one may be totally unqualified.
A girl must try to see very clearly what
are her duties at home and whether slid
Is needed there before she determines on
on Independent career away from home.
A very old and sweet saying la a great
help In time of doubt as to action: "Do
the duty that la nearest. The second duty
will already have become clearer."

The Manicure Lady
Evolution Again
By WJXIilAM U. KIRK.
"I eee In the papers that the prince of
Wales got a call down from King George
for Indorsing a note and getting stung
for 2,600," said the Head Barber.
"That's nothing," raid the. Manicure
Lady, "Lots of princes hao got stung for
Indorsing notes, and they wasn't all
princes oi royal blood, either. I seen
that same piece in the paper, but It was
quite a while ago. dee. Qeorge, I'll bet
he felt awful when the king of England
bawled hi in out. A king's anger must be
terrible to behold. That's what the his
torical novels tells, anyhow."
"I don't see how a king can .ho any
madder at his son for monkeying with
Indorsed notes than any dad Is with his
boy," Bald the Head Barber, "A man
can only get about so mad without get
ting apoplexy. A king can't call yoU
down no harder than Paddy the Pig,
There Is only so many words In the ISn
gtleh language, and a roughneck can
say them as loud and as often as a
king."
"Yes, thore Is a good deal in that,"
agreed the Manicure Lady. "You re
member when I lost my purse last' week,
Qeorge. I was Just as mad aa a humari
being could be when I seen I had lost It.
No king could have been madder. I coutd
have bit the head off unybody that said
I misplaced It, until I found it and knew
J had been careless. Oh, well, what Ss
money anyhowT WJiy should the king or
England bo sore at his son? The kid's
grandfather was the same sort ot a sport , magazine editor will let It got nt that.
Anyhow, them sentiments of hi Is about
Hie same as mlno. I don't know how
much like him, with all his court doings
and pomp, hut I am glad to know lilt
grunuson is a Mnnun being."
"Here, too," said the Head Barber. "I
wish somebody would endorse a note for
me. The landlord Is barking like a
hound."
Ho was more than a king, Qeorge, that
Edward man. Ho was a regular guy.
He knew more about the value ot money
than people thinks he did. He knew so
much about the value of money that ho
knew It didn't have no great valuo at
all. He had friends tbut was rich and
friends that was poor, and he would stick
to a friend that was poor Just as surely
as he would walk away from a pest that
was rich.
"Wilfred says that he would have did
the same an young prince of Walea did,
only It wouldn't do tho poor kid no good
to endorse a J2,W0 note. It makes an
awful difference whose name la on the
back ot a piece ot paper, George, It ain't
the color ot the Ink or the penmanship
or the pen It was wrote with. But I
didn't have the heart to tell Wilfred that
be would never be nble to endorse a
note, and I gUess ho don't care much for
what little money he ever made, except
to be happy with It. He wrote a poem
yesterday and sent It to a magazine and
this Is the copy ot It;
' 'I do not care for boundless wealth
Or. r.ny thing it brings to me,
Just so long as I have my good health
And vvery songbird rlnus to me.
The richest brewer In the land
Is only rich In gold and silver.
And I, who have friends on every hnnd,
Their love all gold I wpuld not kill for.1
"Wilfred said thot he knew 'silver and
'kill for" was a bum rhyme, but he ex
plained to me that there wasn't no real
rbyme for 'silver,' and I suppose tho 'tired of waiting too long.

a,i now what has happenod, or oc
curred, taken plaoe or appeared? My
mall Is changing again; questions on
evolution aro comng with Increasing
rapidity. What has once moro started
up the doctrine 3f ovolutton? No hypo
thesis over encountered so many uv
downs. The roarings ot warB ot words
surge In tho papers, magazlnesand books
of tho world, for a time, uie oui mm
main quloscent during an Interval and
then lurid flames of conflict burst forth.
And now the serenity ot this summit Is
disturbed and tho tumult Is heard abovu
tho clouds.
These nro the flying shells: Q. "Ia tho
theory ot evolution true?" "Has the
doctrine of evolution been proved7" "la
evolution settled In BClenco?" "! Dar
winism a teaching of science?" "Do col
leges nnd university courses lncludo evo
lution?" "Do animals really change Into
other kinds?" "Havo nil agreed to evolu
tion, or are there thoso who oppose?"
And these aro the woes, not in Pan
dora's box, but in the Mount Lowo mall
sack, Tho answer Is that there are those
who still oppose the teaching of evolu
tion In many of Us branches. Tor evolu
tluntsta ore divided among themselves.
For Bomo write that they believe In tho
existence of a Creator, while others say
virtually that all things evolved them

beBlde which all other things In existence
are secondary.
Evolution referred to In these questions
relates to changes, advances, recessions
and again advances In plants nnd animals
that is, in the organic world. Tho change
of one kind, typo or plant of one animal
Into another has not been proved. Take
hundreds of kinds of pigeons as mentioned
on page fifteen of Darwin's "Origin of
Species." They vary most remarkably,
but they are all pigeons. Horses are
widely varied, but no matter how they
differ, tho horse plan exists' In all.
Now, I assert, dogmatically, If the
reader pleases, that the first cell that pro
duced a pigeon was created by a creator,
entire mental; likewise the horse and
every other living being from an animal
so small that 60,000 of them sldo by side
would fill out a line one inch long, to the
largest geologic period fifty-ton beasts,
terrestlal or aquatic. And not ono In
original cell structure, nttribute or quality
has changed, evoluted, developed, mutated
or merged! Into another ot different type
or kind.
It is within primordial cells thut tru
mutation or change is to be searched
utter. This search has been made, but
cullutar evolution has not been dlncov
ered. The great founders of tho doctrlno
of evolution do not make extreme claims
Uke some of their followers:
Complete materialists, those who believe
that matter Is eternal, therefore not ere
ated, will find the significant words "cre
ation" and "created" on page 83, volume
II of "Origin of Species," thus: "Slnglo
Center of Supposed Creation.' We aro
thus brought to the question whtoh has
been largely discussed by naturalists,
namely, whether speclos have been cre
ated at one or more points of the earth's
surface. Undoubtedly there are many
cases ot extreme difficulty in under
standing how the same species could poo
slb.y have migrated from some one point
to the several distant isolated points
whero now found,
"Nevertheless, the simplicity ot the view
that each species was first produced
within the slnglo region captivates tha
mind. Ho who rejects It rejects the vera,
causa of ordinary generation with subse
quent migration and calls In tho agency
of a miracle." I would erase tho word,
"supposed" nnd substitute the word "cre
ation" for the word "mlrac)e in tho
above.
The theory of ovotutlon of one kind ot
plant or animal into another kind is not
true. I am out ot touch with colleges at
present, but believe that all teach evolu
tion, mutation, variation, selection and
changes in many of their forms, but
doubt If any professor, if asked by a
student this question, would ansker
"No." Q. "Does a Creator exist?"
Some might reply: "I do not know-thls
Is unknowable"
Or. If the word "know" is not desirable,
the word "aware" may be substituted oy
those who do not like the stronger word.
Man, normal, is nware that a Creator ex
ists. I said this to n, questioner once,
and he replied, " 'Aware' Is a stronger
word than 'know.' " Now let me "dogma
