A It ho uk h there has been no war raging
in America, this country haa felt the
hock of the Kuoperan druggie. Many
men who have been receiving large rev
enue or moderate
revenues through
International inter
ests have been ob
liged to curtail ex
penses and dis
pense with all save
tho necessities of
life.
One Interesting
featwe of such
situations has been
the manner in
which wives and
daughters met the
emergency. Some,
sins, have nmt It
with complaining
and discontent and
that lack of phil
osophical reasoning characteristic of
certain types of womanhood,;, but then,
agtln. there have been sliinlng exam
ples of courage, optimism and bravery
on the part of women which relieves the
gloom of the picture.
- "no young woman whoso parents had
rnt a small fortune upon her musical
.education found them greatly troubled
over the reduction of Income. Kndeav
oring to turn her musical accomplish
ments to practical usage, she soon dis
covered her inability to Instruct others
In music. Teachers, as well as poets.
.see:u to be bom, not raude: and th's
.young woman was not born to teach.
Having this fact forced upon her. she
turned her attention In other directions.
' Although reared with the idea that
aho was to he accomplished and orna
mental and to-employ people to do what
ever she wished to have done, she
stepped Into the arena of life to fight
her battle ' with adverse circumstances.
She took a course In stenography, and
after much hard work and concentration
she obtained sufficient skill to enable
tier to obtain a position which yielded
.h'.T a small income. This quite cut her
off from most of her old associates who
bad been, girls of wealth and social posi
tion, ' but the really worth-while friends
remained loyal and admired her courage
an 1 strength of character.
w Scores of young women have taken up
nursing, both at home and abroad, and,
.Indeed, ever? avenue, of occupation open
to women has been thronged with fair
petitioners since the war crisis came to
upset the established conditions of the
social and financial world.
. The revival of the art of dancing
(which, by the way, is said to always pre
cede great wars), has made a lucrative
profession for a great many young
women. A letter from a young woman
w ho -has been educated In Paris and who
lias traveled for pleasure in many for
eign lands lies before the writer.
' She savs: "i have become a worker

happier I am when busy. I am teach

Greek tendencies in evening gowns are
vying with the picturesque Watteati and
the full skirts and pointed "basques" of
Lthe ISM period.
One particularly beautiful model of
the Greek suggestion shown In a big
Fifth avenue shop Is made of while and
silver brocaded satin, made with skirt
ending In a pointed train and slightly
raised and slit in front. Two embroid
ered girdles of pearls gleam beneath a
scarf of sliver net bound In silver cloth
and fastening Into wrist bands of silver.
In smart contrast to this eleborete
and graceful Grecian form another shop
Is showing a Jaunty little military suit
of tan khskl-kool, the skirt being short
and fitted with a hanging pocket at

Jacket has a flaring peplunt. cut Into sec
tions, a narrow belt, cults r and cuffs
of blue pussy willow taffeta give a
charming touch of color combined with
a proper trimming of brass button. High
military boots of blue kid and tips and
quarters of dark Wue morocco are worn

to stay at home and do my work here
and increase my powers - of usefulness;
in that way. I am really quite wildly,
enthusiastic about my work and in the
thought that I am accomplishing some
thing for myself."
With all the innumerable and upspeak
horrors and calamities of this war, many
good things have really resulted from It.
One of these is the awakening In women-
kind of the Impulse of helpfulness and
self reliance. We shall have a stronger
and a more efficient and a more Inter
esting race of women in the next genera
tion In consequence of this. .
No woman should be ashamed to work.
But every woman should be ashamed to
be Idie and allow overburdened or un
fortunate man, whether father, husband.
brother or son, to support her. Any re
spectable employment Is more becom
ing and ennobling to a woman than such
dependence.
rrof. Winchell, the Michigan geologist,
once wrote a book on "Comparative
Geology." The Idea that he developed In
the book waa that a great deal may lo
learned both about our own world and
other worlds by the method of dlrert
comparison, whereby their resemblances
and differences are rendered clearer, and
more certain conclusions can be drawn
concerning their relations as members of
a single planetary family.
The one question that everybody,
wishes especially to have answered con
cerning any other planet Is whether cr
not it Is an Inhabitable world. Nine
tenths of those who express an Interest
In astronomy, without particularly de-
string to cultivate a. scientific acquaint
ance with it. are moved by curiosity as
i to the possible existence out in the sky
of Intelligent beings, other than but like
to, and perhaps superior to. ourselves.
It may be that this question of other
inhabited worlds will never be definitely
and positively settled, but It ' Is certain
that one of tho best ways to undertake
Its solution Is that pursued by Trof.
Winchell In the hook to which I have re
ferred. Something of this kind U under
taken In, the pictures herewith shown,
which were prepared by Mr. Striven
Bolton of the Royal Agronomical society.
They exhibit the planets Mars and
Earth, and enable the reader to grsp at
a glance the likenesses between them.
Mara 1 not often a very conspicuous ob
ject In the heavens, and It would never
have attained the high degree of popular
Interest which it tnjnye but for the dis
covery of features on Its surface which
resemble the oceans and continents that
cover our globe It Is a fair argument
that wherever there la enough water to
make oceans there are,' In all probability,

etc., upon which the higher forms of
animal existence depend.
The method of- comparison is -not con
fined to the present condition of the
planets that are subjectod to It. but It
Involves their past and future. For In
stance, Mars being muoh smaller than
the earth (only 4,200 miles In diameter
against the earth's 7.9?4 miles), Is sup
posed to have run through the stages of
planetary evolution faster than the earth
has done, because those stages depend
mainly upon the process of cooling, and
a small body, equally heated at the be
ginning, will part with its heat and be
come externally cool and solidified sooner
than a larger body.
ConsequenUy It is argued Mars was
probably In a habitable condition mil
lions of years before the ' earth had
reached a similar stage, and so It may
well have developed a species, or several
species, of Intelligent Inhabitants now
much further advanced Intellectually and
morally than we are. This Is a very
fascinating speculation, but It opens the
way, by the very data upon which it Is
based, to the counter proposition that,
although Mars may onoe have been in
habited by beings superior to us. It has
now parted with them, having passed on
to a later stage of planetary evolutions.
in which highly organised life la Impossible.
This Is suggested by the failure of
the theory which prevailed In the mid
dle of the nineteenth century that the
dark areas on the surfaco of Mars were
seas. It has since been shown that these
are, at the best, only places where seas
may once have existed, but that Mar
at the present day contains no' large
bodies of water. Whether with the
gradual desiccation of the planet Its
higher forms of life have perished, or
yet remain, In diminished numbers,

After the tragic death of John Ames,
bury, his protstrated wife, one of Amer
ica s greatrst beauties, dies. At her deah,
frof. milliter, an agent of the Interests,
kidnaps the beautiful J-year-old baby
girl and bring her up In a paradlae
where she sees not man, but thinku she
is taught by angels, who instruct her for
lier mission to reform the world. At the
age of 1 she is suddenly thrust Into the
world, where agents of the Interests are
v-ady-to pretend to find her.
The one to feel the loss of the little
Anieaburg girl most, after she had been
spirited awav by the interests, was
Tommy Barclay.
Fifteen years later. Tommy goes to the
Adlrondancks. The Interests are respons
ible for this trip. By sccldent he Is the
first to meet the little Amesbury girl, as
aha comes forth from I'er paradise as
Celestla, the girl from heaven. Neither
Tommv or Celestla recognise each other.
Tommy finds It an easy matter to rescue
Celeatta from Prof. Htilliter, and they

where they spend the nUht
FOURTH EPISODE.
"Well." thought Ktilllter aa he followed
iVeatta and the guides. "We've a
ntiileus of votes agsinst the time when
we need them," and being a psychologist,
he wondered why the younger guide kept
looalug at Celestla and the elder didn L
"Bhe works like a charm," he thought,
"and she is my work-mine."
And in a way she was; but the scien
tist took too much credit.
Left to herself, Celestia must have been
a force for good.
Toward the end of the long tramp there
had to be frequent rests, for Celestla waa
getting very tired, and when at last they
reached Four Corners It waa only just la
time to catch the New Tork express.
During the few minutes there were to
spare, however, Celestla gathered all the
crowd there waa to gather, and made tlte
deepest and most lasting Impression that
hud ever been made upon that woodland
community.
Something of interest happens In the
midst of a remote wilderness, and within
a few hours the incident "written up"
with details appears In a newspaper. That
this is possible Is owing nine-tenths to
good management and one-tenth to good
luck.
"Johnny" Cumberland of the New Tork
American had Just stepped off tho Mon
treal exprrsa at Four Corners for a few
dsys' rest and holiday In the woods. lie
had earned this by tracking down,
through a period of sir weeks, and caus
ing the arrest of a certain gentlemen who
had beer using the I'nlted States mall to
serarate unsophisticated people from their
money.
"I want to go somewhere for a few
days," said Johnny to the city editor,
"where there Is no news."
The city editor did not make the usual
cnlcal answer about Brooklyn or tin
state department. He ssld rimply: "Try
Four Corners, Waykotcus county. New
Tork," and dismissed Johnny with a
quick, pleasant nod.
Johnny, however, had no sooner stepped
off the train at the iwwslcss place than
he ran head fust Into news. And that
afternoon there appeared in a column of
the American devoted to Oleatia and
headlined tke this:
"Angel from heaven found In Adiron

the world, insane or an advertising

struggling against the fast narrowing
conditions that surround them. Is an
unsettled question.
We know that the earth haa probably
begun to dry up. and that the relative
extent of Its oceans and continents will
be greatly changed In the remote fu
ture. The question Is whether w shall
be able to survive as a race whon the
terrestrial seas have shrunk say to half
or a third of their actual extent, and
when the space then Included by them
Is covered with a merea film of water.
The two charts here show what the
appearance of the earth will be millions
of years hence, when Its oceans will
have shrunk to relatively mere shreds.
The resemblance between our planet and
Mars will then be muoh more striking
than It Is today. It Is possible to make
such a chart of the future appearance
of the earth's surface because of our
knowledge of tbe Jeeps and shadow
of the ocean and ft 1 certainly very
singular that when made this prophetic
