had fallen considerably since the
stranding, and all the combined

was to get a terrific strain , on the
hawser; and satisfy Drake that the
anchor had taken firm hold,

restless, yet knowing the need of rest.
He had opened the log book to enter
the stranding. But after awhile

We invfteii a newspaper writer to s
our borne in Beverley Hills for the
week -end. Although 'he politely did i
iris best to conceal it, -it did not take I
a mind reader to detect that he had
come to study us so that.he could pass t
on to others the secret of our sup-
posed success. Ile left us, 'we fear,
baffled and disappointed.'
Por what did we do that evening?
Before dinner we stood out on the
lawn and watched the yellow full I
noon with bhlocnlars, and observed
that the top was dented by a huge
crater. Going indoor.Y, we sat before
a log fire while George Ade and
Charles Chaplin, who were among 'our
guests, engaged in a spirited contest
to see •who could remember and sing
the oldest songs. At dinner, we fear,
the conversation did not soar to `any
great heights. We talked of the us-
enet things: the future of California
and the motion -picture business,. our
next productions, and so on..
After dinner, someone made the as-
sertion that n0 011e in the company
could walk naturally th otigh the din-
ing room, without exhibiting a par
title of self-consciousness, precisely
as if no one were watching trim, Tltis.
led to other similar diversions. They
were not very intellectual,' no -doubt,
but they caused endless merriment.
Then -we walked outdoors again, plau-
itecl a picnic bt'eaicfast on a mountain
top at sunrise, and went to bed before
11. Our newspaper friend was un-
questionably disappointed at such a
conimouplace everting.,
The most unhappy People we have
met are thosee, who are constantly
seeking new and more extraordinary
ways of gratification, who feverishly
follow every new cue to pleasure, and
careen madly after happiness. The
pleasure seeker is nearly always a dis-
contented person, finally ' deserted
even by the illusion'of happiness, acid
the man . who makes a business of
pleasure is the last person to find it.
But this philosophy is not very orig-
inal either, Disguise it as we may, it
is only another plea for. simplicity, a
brief for the simple, ordinary( and un-
fashioCiable, pleasures -a suggestion
that the feverish rush after enjoy-
ment is
njoy=mtentis carrying as way past our goal
into a land of satiety and boredom.
This experiment we would recom-
'tend because we have found it suc-
cessful: that triose whose „,lives are
crowded ivitlt amusements look CVO'
their list of social engagements for
. the week and rtttbiessfy cancel three-
. fourtlts,,of thein. We think they would
bo surprised to find with what a
quickened sense of enjoyment they
would. -greet the tines that remained
and with what a feeling of relief they
would weleom0 a fete eveniuge in
nl•11i011 titeycould 'do'exactly asthey

• When 0t:ce the adjustment is made
—and that is always cliflieutt—ono is
sure 1.0 find that, for no reason other
than. force of habit or, some social
coercion more limited than real lie

On Vulgarity
"To me the paramount test of val-
garity in any person is the way in
which that person treats his in-
feriors," writes Beverley Nichols, in
the Christmas Loudon Magazine:
"If a duchess is rude to her maid,
even in the privacy of her own bed-
room, then that duchess is a vulgar
woman, *though she niay trace her
ancestry to the renrotgst beginnings
pf history; If, again, au employer Is
rude to his office boy, and takes ad-
vantage of his ,Iiosition to make sar-
enstic remarks about him in front 'of
his clients, then that man Isa vulgar
man even if he holds au entire in-
dustry in the paint of his hand, Any-
body, Xis fact, who indulges in that
cruellest forms- of blow, the snob, is
vulgar."

1'' ERRORS i •`
Same of the worst political' and so
alai errors arise, not so much front
a lack of knowledge, but from a fall
ure'to face squerely,to ourselves, :utd
to think clearly and with imagination
about, facts which in our hearts we
cannot for a moment deny. And that
in its turn provokes a disttili1bing
thought.
If we can fail so completely t0 use
the knowledge we already possess,
will further knowledge be likely to
avail us very mach? It may be true
that we must "learn to perish."
But. we shall not necessarily learn
