You I would rather have than any live and troublous beau. For I "can love and Duty Divinely Ordained and Cannot Be Escaped by Any By ELLA WHEELER WUiCOX. (Copyright, 1919, Star Company.) .. A. brilliant woman, a theoaophical stu dent, writes roe: "It lu a dreadful night wa are paaslng through, la It not? We are mora deaply Interacted in Theoaophy than ever. Tha wonderful Influence of thia philosophy la indicative of tta high aourc. It la moat certainly marking the progressiva thought of the day. In the constructive work that will follow thia tearing- down process of war, theoaophy. whether known by that man or not, will have a great part to play, and tha power of all thoa who sock to aerva the great ones lies In close co-operation. "Although societies and organlsa,tlona may make mistakes and Individuals may fall, tha principles of tha philosophy re main tha noblest expressions of active life today. There will bs serious trials for thia country. Thoaa who are to be greatly truated must ba greatly tested. and America ;a to be trusted with the birthing of the new race. "If only the leading men in capital and labor coud be touched with theosophlcai ideals and realise that It is not one claaa of society they are working, not capital, not labor, but a unified humanity, how ' tha world would progress." In a recent number of a, theoanphlral magaslna a" most far-reaching and com prehensive article on duty appears, by Banonl a Gattell. Here are aomo of tha sreat living truths which theoaophical mlnda are endeavoring to bring to "tha . attention of tha world today: - "Tha performance of tha present duty, merely because it U a duty, without look ing at the results.

Of the result, the su perior intelligences guiding tha working of tha world, take care of themaelves. "All a man haa to do la to do his duty as beat he can. Duties which affect -the aesunlea pi millions of men in tha eye oc trie law are no mora important than ue auty or laboring in a aide sewer, de stroying vermin, or making glue or oc - cttpatlons in fertilising work. -ox work which runs into millions of dollars, tha practising of law, being . 1 M . . . . w proizssor or painung pictures, are nova congenial occupations than being a sweatshop tailor or working in a sul Phur mine, but they are no mora noble for ail duties are given to open tha way ta freedom. -jovsjy duty ta a eign to a man or woman by tha divine and knowing por tion of himself.

If men violate their duty and disre gird It they not only wrong others, but thay set In motion causes and actions and co teek t auU of U di courses which will Inevitably come to them. AU diseases are tha re- duty. EaUng la a duty, but there duty also to observe the purpose of a ting and tha amount of sttentlon to be given to It. Ba who pays mora attention to eating thaa la proportionate in a well balanced Ufa may escape tha penalty In this life, le eartala extant, but h comes back to esrth- with another body which has a tendency to disease." Mr. Gattell proceeds to call our atten tion to the fact that there is no such thing ss chance, no accident, and that nothing happens casually. Every thins Is the result of law. We have all lived since God Himself began to live and we have a past which Is unthinkable in Ita antiquity. "A duty is the effect of all a man has done or haa left undone. .'A duty la crystallised Karma.' Ail duties, be they to spurn the temptation of cheating unknown persons, even in far countries, by one's adulterated food product, or be It to refrain from taking usurious In terest, or who actually stands his watch aa a policeman or to be ready for work aa a shop clerk at the proper time or to risk hia life aa a fireman, physician or soldier,' are duties a man owea to him self, though they usually consist In doing something; for others." , Again Mr. Gattell places a living truth before his readers by ' saying that "a man cannot 'escape his duty by suicide. A ' suicide tnay apparently -escape from conditions which seem- Intolerable, but he cornea back Into exactly the same condition in another life and haa to bear an added burden. Imly may be ' post poned, it may be escaped, but only for. time. Each time the duty comes up It hss the weight of all a man's past be hind It." "The postponement . Increases the weight of the paat and the delay causae disturbance In the Invisible part of the universe and in the man himself. hlch, pressing and disturbing In ever widening circles, will bring on a press ure from ever wider' regions and ever greater beings and vaster forces." Whoever you are, perusing these tines. some duty faeea you, some duty which Is unpleasant, difficult and distasteful. Hut remember. It la your duty, that It wae divinely ordained, causes which you you, yourself, set In motion In other lives, and that by doing It faithfully and cheerfully can you come out Into the path of freedom and power.

Waste Emotion Drawback of By BEATRICE FAIItFAX. "Broken hearts" so csiled-ere an actual Insult to . the Intelligence. Of course, there really Is no such thing ss a broken heart, but the world la pathet ically full of boys and girls tand even grown men and women) ' who Imagine that since a lover has proven false, life has nothing to offer, In the first place, to let the disloyalty or fickleness of any one man or woman mar your life la definitely to acknowledge yourself Inferior to that msn or woman since you are weak enough to depend upon hlnv or her for your lite and Joy. Evan if a lover proves false, that doea not mean that there Is no such thing In this world ss true love. One, two or even threa unfortunate experiences offer no basis for sreneralltles. Most of us get fairly nearly what wa deserve, and when ever we aotually merit loyalty and devo tion we will get It. . So then you who think you have broken hearts, here are a few simple truths for you. First, your heart Is only damaged and time will heal it. Second, devoting- your entire attention to the wound will not accelerate Ita mending. Tf you think love has failed you, why honor tha traitor with your undivided attention? Suppose you aerenely turn your back upon . unkind lova and give your attention to work. Waste emotion applies to any situation which la in ltaelf unchangeable and on which you expend uselens longing snd doBlre.

If you simply clamor and de sire,, unhappily and uaelesaly, for world tours which you know in your heart of hearts you never can realise, you are wasting yourself and are all too likely to neglect things near at hand that need and claim you.
