If I have an impulse in common with so great a thinker as+Herbert Spencer I must have a mind competent to assimilate his philosophy. I am no longer be- neath it and I am greater than I thought I was. Moreover, when I tell people that I prefer my coffee very hot indeed, I should not like to be told that Iam talking tittle-tattle. It is one of the most important things in its way to me that my coffee be brought me hot. I leave you to imagine what I felt when I saw in the Figaro that Rostand makes scenes in the cafés if the waiters fail to bring his coffee to him very hot indeed. I realize that this great artist—the greatest creative gen. ius alive to-day, perhaps—has so con- spicuous a trait in common with myself that I have a clue tohim. His symbol- ism will yield its riddle to me, Nor is this a belittling of the genius. No truly great man can come down to the level of his fellow creatures.

Be consistent! If you put a shock absorber on your automobile to save its machine pair of O'Sullivan’s Heels of Live Rubber attach , do as much for your own body. Have a to your shoes. O’Sullivan’s Heels of Live Rubber cost 50 cents attached and wear twice as long as leather. There are no other Heels of ‘Live’? Rubber, nor other real rubber heels, although there are some so called.

The New Woman's Literary Work As a more complete vindication of the intellectual equality of woman with man, Miss Christobel Pankhurst will perhaps next insist that the articles about great women in the University of Cambridge’s new edition of the En- cyclopedia Britannica be written by women—the article on Joan of Arc, say, by Mrs. Langtry and the article on Sappho by Mrs. Eddy.
