For America has been steadily developing the ideals that constitute progressive Individualism. No doubt, individualism run riot, with no tempering principle, would provide a long category of inequal ities, of tyrannies, dominations and injustices. America, however, has tempered the whole conception of individualism by the injection of a definite principle, and from this principle it follows that attempts at domination, whether in government or the processes of industry and commerce, are under an "insistent curb. If we would have the values of individualism, their stimulation Beauty to Wed^ The beautiful Hon*. Joan Alice] Katherine Dickson-Poynder is soon! 'to marry Lloyd George's former private secretary.

On the eve of his departure for Europe, John McCormack was guest of honor at a reception given by the Catholic Club of New York. It was attended by many church dignitaries and numerous of Mr. McCormack'o friends in the operatic and musical world.
