Absurdities of Our Present Problems
One of the most encouraging things about the world’s
resent difficulty is the fact that all of its major prob
es are in the highest degree irrational. They need only
3 be stated to have their inherent absurdity made obvious;
nd the more they are stated and examined, the more
ikely it becomes that mankind will recognize their ab
urdity and do away with them.
There never was a time when natural forces oper
ted to make nations neighborly as strongly as they do
ow. World-wide communication is an accomplished fact.
)istances have shrunk to mere fractions of their old
ength. The increasing complications of world finance and
rade have made all countries inter-dependent. A new
ietwork of treaties has been set up to preserve the peace.
Ivents have compelled dullest men to realize that war
osts more than it can possibly be worth.
Yet in the face of these facts, one of our very great
st problems is the problem of keeping the peace. The
vorld is drifting toward war in spite of the fact that it
las more reasons for staying at peace than it ever had
>efore.
It is the same in the economic field. We have devel
>ped the art of production to the point where poverty
leed no longer exist. We can make more of everything
han we can possibly need. The masses of mankind can
injoy more luxuries than the wealthy could have a few
generations ago.
Yet, poverty is increasing and we suffer from a short
ige of nearly everything; and as Edward A. Filene, the
Boston merchant, has pointed out, poverty has increased
most rapidly in those nations whose ability to produce
wealth has been most augmented.
Similarly, world trade today ought to thrive as never
oefore. The facilities for it were never so great; the need
of the various nations for the things produced by their
neighbors was never so great; the financial arrangements
whereby the flow of goods is made easy were never so
well developed. But world trade dwindles, year by year,
and most nations have been busy cutting it down still fur
ther by means of tariffs, import restrictions, quota laws
and the like.
These problems, when examined carefully, simply
don’t make sense. Is it too much to expect that we shall
presently find a way to start moving with the tide instead
of against it?
Safeguarding the Public
It is reported at Washington that the administration
plans a thorough and complete overhauling of the federal
food and drugs law. Such action is badly needed, and can
be a real service to the consuming public.
Stricter rules governing the labels of cosmetic and
patent medicine preparations are among the changes
contemplated. One change proposed would prevent a
manufacturer from including in his copy the names of
diseases unless his preparation was actually a specific
cure for such maladies.
We would get, under such a rule, no more of those
concoctions warranted to be useful for everything from
bunions to gallstones; we would get no more “sure cures”
for tuberculosis, cancer and pneumonia. Things, in short,
would be on a much sounder basis. It is to be hoped that
the administration goes through with its plan.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER X
g ENT WELL STAFFORD sat be
fore the fire, flushed and heavy
eyed. The usual decanter and
glass were beside him on a small
table within easy reach. For the
first time that he could remember
Elinor had not greeted him as he
came In. Although the home-com
ing had left him hollow it warmed
him, too. He hoped that she was
out with some young people having
a good time. The fact that she had
so few good times made his eyes
fill with those tears that rise easily
from alcohol.
A little stir at the door made
him turn to see Elinor, her eyes
bright and shining.
“Well, child’’—he offered in a
rasping, low voice after the cough
that was habitual.
“Dear!’’ she exclaimed. She came
forward swiftly, stooped and kissed
him, then settled on a low stool
at his feet.
Her father studied her. She was
beautiful — rarely, undoubtedly
beautiful. He didn’t see how even
the dullest eyes could miss that
fact.
"And what?" he asked. It was
a nightly ritual, one that had
started back in the days when It
prompted a history of her play
hours and of how she had done at
lessons.
“I had a ride,” she replied. She
was staring Into the fire and trying
not to smile. He saw her set her
teeth on the lower lip which would
turn upward, saw the dreaming
languor of her eyes.
“Um!” Stafford reached for the
decanter to pour another drink.
He had always known it would
hurt when it came; but be had
never sensed the depths of the hurt.
And yet be wanted Elinor to fall
In love, to be happy and settled In
a home of her own. Odd how rea

glass and spoke. "And who took
you riding?”
“Mr. Colvin—Mr. Barrett Col
vin.”
“Thought perhaps you’d gone
with Bob Telfair—”
“Oh. no!”
"Like him, don’t you?”
"Yes, I like him but—”
• • •
66JJUT what?” Stafford prompted.
How had anything so beauti
ful come to him and to Lida? So
beautiful spiritually as well as
physically? He never had been able
to make it out.
“Weil,” she explained slowly, "1
like him as a very good friend.
You know he’s helped me a lot with 1
Cousin Philip, going to see him
when I couldn’t manage to because
of Mother and the way she feels.
He’s beeu a very good friend!” she
ended loyally.
“Yes, I know. Poor young devil!
Well, what about Colvin? You like
him?”
“Very much.” The response
came low.
“Hum—l" Bentwell again lifted
his glass.
”1 had the most wonderful after
noon I’ve ever had in my whole
life!” ehe confessed.
Bentwell had known it would
come to her in that way; that ehe
was built to give a whole heart and
not a cautious inch of it. Suppose
Colvin were damned fool enough
not to realize that which wee of
fered him?
“Do you know Mr. Colvin, Fa
ther?” she asked. She wanted to
talk of Colvin, he saw. There bad
been a time years ago when he had
wanted to talk of Lida in the eame
way. The time had been short, as
Lida was orphaned and alone and ;
they had married quickly. Soon
after marriage he had not wanted
to talk of her nor even to think of
her. Elinor bad his capacity for
dreaming. She must not be hurt)
“1 know him fairly well.” he re
sponded in bis slow way. ''His
family have lived across the etreet
from Aunt Ella for more years than
sven I can remember. While I was
still on the leash I used to be
Jragged there and Colvin and his
Bister ran In often. He’s a good
chap, I understand, but they say
he’s a hard-boiled bachelor. I think
a good many women have tried to
marry him. The Colvin fortune is
considerable, you know.”
• • •
CHE flushed at the words.
^ “I’m not going to try to marry
him,” Elinor admitted honestly
and a trifle loudly. "But if he
wanted to marry me—he’d have to
do no more than snap his fingers or
whistle!” She tried to make a joke
of it, laughing, but she could not.
After the failure she covered her
face for a moment with her hands.
“Suppose,” Stafford said slowly,
“he hasn’t sense enough to know
how lovely you are? Sugpose he’s
as blind as so many damned
fools?’’
“Then I suppose I'll know I
wasn’t—nice enough."
"Don’t!” Her father begged. Eli
nor slipped her hand into his and
looked at the decanter. He had al
ready had a good deal; more even
than was usual. "We must play
chess after dinner,” she said, eyes
Btill on the decanter,
“I’d like to but I don’t want to
bore you, baby.”
"But I’d love it! You know I
love it. Father, when is Mother
going?” Her voice was suddenly
anxious.
"They start, I believe, tomorrow
morning.”
“Then—that’s all right!” she
said quickly, happily. She didn't
want Mr. Colvin to meet her moth
er until she, Elinor, had had a lit
tle chance. She wouldn’t have any
chance at all if he met her mother,
Elinor knew. It had happened be
fore with every young man who
had been attracted by Elinor, ex
cept Bobby Telfair who had re
mained adamant under her moth
er’s attacks. The attacks were
made, the girl understood, in order
that a selfish woman might prove
the fact that she could attract and
enchant and rule wherever and
whomever she wished. The thought
of this bad never before really mat
tered to Elinor. Now it did.
Benson appeared in the broad
doorway just then to announce that
dinner was served.
V
gLINOR rose quickly, her father
in his slow and cumbersome
way. The dining room had been,
decorated under Lida’s direction
in what she considered an impres
sive manner but tonight the aged
oak walls and family portraits
looked down on faded roses in the
center of the table and a Venetian
cut-work cloth that was a little
crushed. The randies, too, had
been burned before.
It was the sort of thing EUnor
detested. Consistent simplicity she
thought to be so much more agree
able. The constant striving to im
press others had become one of the
meanest, although one of the
smallest, of Lida’s deceits.
“Mother dining out?” Elinor asked
after Benson had pushed her chair
under her.
“Yes,” her father said. “Off
somewhere with that young Car
ter.”
“I loathe him and yet I’m sorry
for him, too,” Elinor stated. It
was odd how she could talk and
hear herself as if from & distance
while all the time that new, ex
cited feeling in her heart made her
seem to be a different person.
“Father—"
“Yes, dear?"
“How are you off financially Just
now? I saw a dress yesterday I
would like to have.”
“Then get it,” he answered quick
ly. Elinor’s doing without because
Lida simply “had to have" this or
that had always angered him. And
yet somehow he never managed to
compensate Elinor for her patience
with having so few frills.
"Thaaks ever so much,” she said.
Elinor was thinking that she would
try her hair a new way. Low on
her neck. Her mother had seen
her with it that way and called it
"idiotically stagey." But her moth
er would be in Miami. Beautiful
thought! And Tuesday when they
drove up the Hudson to have din
ner at the inn that he liked she’d
wwr her tan coat that looked quite
well in spite of being so old and
the little tan hat that Celeste, her
mother's maid, said was becoming.
Benson appeared in the doorway.
"There’s a call on the telephone
for you. Miss Stafford." he said.
“It’s Mr. Colvin.”
