Restraint and deprivation are on all hands. ‘There are billions of Adams nd Eves in the world and men and women have developed two sets of nervous systems; in other words, they have two sides to their natures, ‘There 1s a little of the old Adam and the old Eve in every one—a desire to ‘do exuctly what he or she pleases, at there is also the second person- ality to consider, the new personality which must fit itself into the twen- eth century conditions.” “Which makes the better citizen, the man or woman who harkens to the old ery, or the man or woman who steps in with the new personality and puts aside all his or her desires?” I asked. “I believe every one should give the Ad and Eve in him a chance to u * exclaimed Mr. Tridon, “It is a strange thing, but the man or woman who suppresses too much from his life, who turns his or her back upon all the good things of life, is the very one who sometimes falls the hardest, These are the yery people who develop th ‘Mr. Hyde’ characteristics and come to the pitterest grief. Perhaps that is why so many criminals and people who go wrong cry, ‘I didn't know what I was doing.” No doubt, in ‘nine cases out of ten, they Their dual personality, a restrained characteristic or quality of which they were totally unaware, broke forth. “My theory is that men and women should enjoy life. Get the most there is out of it, in a good way of course; but above all things be happy, Since humanity came into being, man has enjoyed himself too little. That alone is our original sin, “Accidents haye brought forth dual personalities, Sometimes a man who bas always led a clean life will meet with an accident, a slight injury which will change his whole mode of life, 1 reeall the caso of w minister in New Mmgland who fell out of his carriag wpon his head.

There was the Spiker-Knowles thing but the war and the shock to his nerves was responsible for his un- faithfulness to his wife. “Too much work also makes people develop a dual personality. Men with large families, men burdened with financial troubles, frequently pack up and run away from it all. Sometimes they actualy desert their families, go to another city and start anew. Many West and deen absolutely lost to his family.” “Then you would advise us to be happy in order to escape our dual— ‘Mr. Hyde'—personalities?” I asked Tridon. would advise people not to re- Press themselves too much, not to make the strain of life too severe; to enjoy life each day as they go along, and not wait until to-morrow, for to- morrow never comes. ‘Those who realize that there is still a little of the old Adam and Eve in us seldom have to combat their dual personalities, but those who hold themselves in tension are frequently surprised at their own deeds.” pill Aa hacen oes RH The Jarr Family By Roy L.

A significant story is told of a girl Mary, who lived on a farm. In the summer, at Mary’s farm, they had summer boarders, whose description of the great city filled her with a longing to go there. | One day in December the sixteen- | year-old girl, who had never been away from her immediate yillage, found her way on the “local” to New York to find a jdb, On arrival Mary became bewil- dered at the hurrying throng—a scene |so different from the serene white tarm | house and God's green acres, She went along with the surging crowd and |found herself appealing to @ taxicab |driver to take her to the address of |one of the summer boarders, an address to Wall Street, As tt was after bustnese hours the “cabby” called a “young man ef un- | mistakable Broadway clothes” to take | | | ing Co.
