That is one reason why I believe I have been in touch with forces outside myself. “There are many other reasons.

It hay been agreed that it is physically impossible for her, unassisted by outside force, to make the mere physical movements—she calls it “athletic exercise’—involved inher experiments. ‘She and her friends bear witness that the philoso- phy expounded {s quite outside her mental habit and couched in lan- guage such as she peyer would use to express her own thoughts, “What,” I asked her, “is the giat'of this teaching you believe to be from another plane?

This isn’t ten years off. It's now. But it can still be stopped.” Russia he describes as “a flaming sacrifice, to light the world on the way not to Frederic and ail the other imma- terial friends of Marguret Cameron are blessed with humor—another point in their favor. ‘This ts tho way one of them described, last January, the mit that they can get across to this world as never before, because of the way men's minds have been shaken up by the wargand distracted from the merely material.

Prreitta' Now York Evealog Werlk) REALLY successful, happy mar- ria, cannot consist of all and “darlings,” and “you did just right.” Two people liv- 2 ing under the same root year after year could not pos- sibly always do “just right.” There must be some mis- takes, and there must be some hard hills to climb, and the only way to be happy is to look squarely at things just as they are, One of the greatest aids to a happy married life is truth, and if a thing isn't right it is better to say so at once. Couples who boast that they never had @ quarrel in all their married life do not realize how tame and unproft- able they are confessing their exist- ence to be, They might just as well say: “We don’t want to lift a finger to help one another to develop in any way. We never disagree because it's casier to agree We don't care what the other thinks or does, so why should wo quarrel?” But the couples who are “head- over-heels” in love with each other do care, and because they care they quarrel now and then, It is human nature. for people to tell us things when they are angry or perturbed at us which they would never dream even of hinting in a cam, placid, happy-go-lucky mood. And nine times out of ten these are things it is'good for u# to know, Couples who go drifting quietly along life's current with never a rip- ple or a splash miss afl the advan- tage that comes from the revelations made in the heat of a quarrel, The fact that they never have even a tiny tiff means that their eyes are closed to each other's faults. And what could be more unfortunate than such a. blind, indifferent married life? Better a marriage which glares and bell occasionally, even to So acd bene @re brought out that help husband ‘| and wife to mend their ways. Better the spicy tiff if it sheds li, weakness of character than a life-long camouflage of deceit and flattery. There is no surer way of driving the matrimonial ship on the rocks than too much blind love. When a man and a woman are making love they enumerate over and over again one another's sweet, good characteristics and praiseworthy accomplishments, It is only when they belong to each other enough to quarrel that they mention all the weak, miserable characteristics and qualities which they have noticed all the time. And this is just why mar- ried life can be made much happler by the right sort of quarrels, ‘To reach its highest goal marriage must be an eye-opener. “Two heads are better than one,” and two tongues and four eyes ought to be better than one tongue and two eyes. One of the finest things about marriage is that two people living together for years can, if they will, benefit by each other's different viewpoints of lite. The moment a husband discovers that his wife is taking a narrow, re- stricted view of anything it is his duty to try to broaden her vision, no matter if it does cause friction and “start something.” It is ,the com- | bats of life that develop character. In the same way, when a wife realizes that her husband is taking wrong views of life it is her duty to make Jum see himself as others see him. People ‘seldom like to be told their faults, but it is greatly for their good that they be told, and marriage ought to teach them to grin and bear it. ‘The women must learn to see things from @ big, broad, masculine viewpoint, and @ man must dearn to look through the gentler, keener, feminine eye. The little tiffs, with their accompanying words of bitter truth, are the very things which| teach a man and a woman the real facts of life. Instead of always living happily ever afterward, like mere: fairyland folk, it is far better to disagree once while, Inthe argument thet en- numervus Valueble bible about 5 2 4 ( NEW FRENCH SLEEVE Novelties Are Fringed Skirt and Tunic, Together With the Short Sleeve That Is the Last Word From Paris each other’s character are sure to be And the rule works both ways. dropped. Perhaps the reason most |old maids and bachelors are so nar- row in their points of view is simply because they never had any one to |tell them a few little things about themselves. Matrimony would change all this eccentricity and narrowness if allowed to take its natural course with an occasional quarrel. Many a man has had his whole career made for him es a ‘result of @ little tiff in which he learned trom his wife's lips a few truths about himself. Without this lesson his life would have been vastly different, for he would never have appreciated either his possibilities or his limita- tions, That “Do you want to know what I ‘think of you?” and the tor-| No. husband ever lived who could not ut- ter truths about his wife in the heat of a quarrel that he would otherwise never have dared mention, ‘The sen-' sible wife takes heed of these revela- tions about herself and profits, by them after the tiff is over. ‘ Turtle-dove lovemaking is all very well, but its glamour needs to be hard- ened occasionally by the cold rays-of truth. And these rays shine to their best advantage in clearing away dift- ficulties of marrieé life when hus- band and wife are having a vigorous little “spat.” It's a mistake to think quarrels do no good outside of furnishing pleas- ant opportunities for kissing and “making up" later. ‘There is a real’ moral benefit to be gained by sensi- rent of explanation that followed|pjg husbands and wives from their started him on the ht path.
