HE chronic restlessness which beset the soul of Agnes Lynn was largely due to the fact that she was continually being made aware, by appreciative friends, that she was too big a person for her small cole. Her role was that of primary teacher In the two-room rural schoolhouse nestled In a rather lovely valley that separated, by miles, two thriving villages. For (our years Agnes Lynn, who had been graduated from Normal school in the capital city of the state, had held this position as one of the two teachers hi the little old, proverbially red. schoolhouse that stood beneath a pair of twin oaks and was backed by a beautiful rise of Pennsylvania mountains. The second teacher was a poetic-faced, middleaged man nanjed Roger Nash who had a bad limp due to what some people feared was a tubercular bone condition. But that was gossip. Except for the Insistence from her local friends, as well as those hi one or another of the two adjoining villages, to say nothing of those In the city where she had been educated, Agnes could have found It In her heart to relax to the quiet, rural beauties of her life as school teacher in this green and placid valley. And yet she knew that she owed it to herself, her friends and her future, to put to more significant use the fine and virile brain with which she was so Undoubtedly endowed. It took all of her will power to fight against the inertia Induced by the tranquil years In the tranquil valley. The children who trouped daily into her classroom were clean-faced, clean-hearted little youngsters, products of a wholesome agricultural environment, eager to be friends with her. The pleasant companionship of Roger Nash, frail, visionary, passive, was of sufficient intellectual stimulation to ward off tedium. Her room at the farmhouse where she boarded was a lovely old one of rare, early American furniture, splc-and-span cleanliness and a view of apple orchard, mountain stream and rich countryside that never ceased to delight her. As a matter of fact, an apple tree Actually leaned In at her window to awaken her. That was why, throughout the years she spent In the valley, Agnes had to fight against the sweetish kind of Inertia that enveloped her. JLlfe was so pleasant here, so deeply tranquil, each day filled with a fresh simplicity. And yet In hpr heart she realized how meager the sphere, how unworthy of her abilities, how spiritually and mentally lazy of her to remain. Teaching limited her talents. Throughout her college career Agnes had exhibited a talent for executive'work. ' v Her chance came when the prln cipal of the Normal school from which she had graduated wrote an offer to recommend her for the position of executive secretary to the vice president of a Chicago Mortgage and trust company. There was simply no withstanding the lure of this offer, It meant not only the tripling of her salary, but It offered her contacts that could lend to big achievements in the business world. There did not seem much reason for Agnes to hesitate. And what hesitating she did was too private to confide to even the best of her friends. She would not have dared to admit It. Opportunity had rapped long and insistently at Agnes' door. Chicago, insofar as Its resemblance to the life she left In the valley was concerned, might have been a city, not in another state, but on -another planet Not even her life as a student In the capital city of her state had prepared her for the degree of intensity, the complicated arduousness that awaited her. Life was like a gale that caught her from the moment she stepped off the train and kept her swirling and twirling at high tempo. The demands of her position also kept her keyed to a degree of Intensity 'that was as astonishing as it was exhilarating. For the first few months of the new environment, bewildered as she was in many respects, Agnes* realized that she owed It to herself to have ventured forth into these active fields of enterprise. Gone were the old fears of lntellecual lassitude, mental decline and physical smugness. The city had her in its tempo. She rose In her fairly comfortable ^boarding honse room that had for Its " vista the window of another boarding house room precisely like hers, she ^dressed in haste, she breakfasted in haste at a cafeteria, she met her employer in the tense, terse, impersonal ^mood of the city, she performed her; tasks with a mechanical and speeded-' up rectitude,, she lunched in a business women's club to the rattle of . dishes and the roar of the e]evated ^railroad, she met her employer for an afternoon of more of the speed of > routine, she dined In a table d'hote tearoom with the evening paper propped np against the sugar bowl. She sought out the movies, the theater jar the company of a male or female colleague In her office nlng's entertainment " There was a man. There naturally would be In the life of an attractive, i np-and-golng girt like Agnes. He was j salesmanaget- for the Chicago branch j of an enormous automobile concern. A hale, hearty fellow, with concrete ambitions, tried and true. Lilianthal was headed for wealth. He wanted power, position, money. He was on his way to obtain them. IJe was already slated for one of the vice presidency plums of his firm. Strange that he should have been attracted to a girl of the particular type of Agnes. There was nothing obvious about her. She dawned upon you slowly. There was Ihe obvious about Lilianthal. He was precisely what he seemed to be. In the phraseology of his trade he was a "comer." And yet, buried ta him, was the consciousness that here in this slender, weli-bred girl, was the sort of woman with whom he could proudly share his ultimate success. He visualized her In pearls and good lace, presiding at his table. A successful man "needed a wife like that Class! That was Agnes all over--nothing showy, but class! There came a time when the rather simple routine of the young busines> woman became a thing of the pasi Instead, the best lakeshore hotel restaurant, night after night with LilianthaL Opera. Races. Motor rides. And all, bear In mind, strictly within the pale of the rigid social formula of Agnes. Lilianthal, who was known to have had his fling, treated her with the kind of elaborate deference a man of his type will show toward the woman he contemplate." as mate. In fact. If Lilianthal erred at all. it was In conservatism. Agnes was to be treated as the womaft worthy to be come his wife. For sixteen months Agnes succeeded in sidestepping the impending pro posal of marriage. It came one night, the very week, to be exact, that the' banking house which employed her services Increased her salary by 33% per cent and gave her a bontgs of live hundred dollars. At the conclusion of eighteen months Agnes was not only justifying the confidence of her friends in her executive ability, but was about to make a marriage that was In keeping with her general success. It was then, while Lilianthal was waiting a promised week for his answer, that Agnes sat down and i«;oL stock. It was the first time she had dared allow herself the time to make meutuV Inventory of the state of mind an:* being of this girl who had -come out of the valley. First and foremost It was obvious to her that she was not In love-^-with Lilianthal. It seemed to her as she sat thpre, facing herself In bar boarding house room, that she was bankrupt in countless ways; that she was empty hand ed, empty-hearted. Everything that the new life had brought her was something mechanical and outside of herself. Good clothes. Good shows. Good restaurants. Showy companion ship. And to replace the old Joy-ofthe- valley that seemed to have flowed out of her, there remained nothing. Lilianthal was out of the question. Confidant predictions to the con trary notwithstanding, Agnes was mis east. She was not that kind of per son. Memory of the valley--sweet mornings of walking to school, the trouping children, the pleasant chats beneath the schoolyard oak trees with a sensitive man called Roger Nash, the simple foods, the simple pastimes, the lovely, tranquil, early American room, became a nostalgia that was almost too much to bear. Agnes hnd dared to take stock of herself. The results were appalling, hut had to be faced. Agnes was not the kind of person she was supposed to* be. It took courage to go back; It took more courage than she would have believed herself capable of. It Is not easy in lifo to take what may be regarded as a retrogressive step and that Is just what Agnes did in returning to her position as school teacher In the valley. At least that Is how her friends, who were so ambitious for her, regarded It. She had gone backward. She had not been of the staiblna they had hoped. Agnes Is n<?t particularly Inter ested In the psychology of It She only knows that the valley is sweeter and greener and cleaner than ever and the task of teaching the young Is one that fills her with ambition.

This suit is directed against the jury commissioners of Cook county and asks that they be compelled to make up the jury list of men only. The court's decision will apply also to downstate as the same principles are involved and there could be no difference in the sex of jurors as between Cook county and the downstate. / According to a warning 11 Wifed by H. P. Ferguson, chief sanitary engineer of the state department of public health, a considerable surplus of milk in Illinois has led pasteurizing plants generally to refuse acceptance of all but better grades and this situation has pushed upon the market a significant volume of low grade raw milk which falls short of reasonable sanitary requirements. He states the use of this low grade product, even at very attractive prices, is accompanied with definite risks to health. As suggested by Representative Frank A. McCarthy, Elgin, a meeting was held "to consider the proposed system of 'pensions or retirement funds for state employes. A tentative bill has been drafted providing for retirement of any state worker at half pay when he reaches the age of 60, provided he has served twenty years, or when he has completed thirty-five years' service, regardless of his age. The maximum pension would be $150 a month. The fund would be built up half through workers' contributions and half by state appropriation. The system would be optional with present employes but would be compulsory after the act went into effect. Persons discharged would be reimbursed for their deposits. f- rt- ' • <?• VT'^ly l-ar* FCMRDfc • Sl'; I The appellate court of Mt.

Dr. Paul L. Schroeder, Illinois state criminologist, is its director and he has an able staff of psychiatrists and physicians as well as an excellent managing force. In 1909 it originated as an adjunct to the Chicago Juvenile Court, and St first its duties were confined to the examination of delinquent children for indications of feeblemindedness. Now it has a broad and varied scope, having worked out its .own plans and methods, because there was never before anything exactly like it. In 1917 it was taken over by the State of Illinois, as a part of the Welfare plan, to carry on the preventive phase to the state criminologist's work. Illinois is generally acknowledged as the pioneer and leader in this line of effort and is constantly called upon by other states for advice and assistance in setting up* and carrying on similar organisation.
