read the writings she left behind her, we come to realize that her
greatness lay not so much in the things she achieved as in the hidden power of her spirit. _She was a woman of solved problems._ The far-reaching qualities of her mind and character are but the outcome of this inward condition. All men and women have problems; few solve them. The solved problem in any life is the expression of genius, and is the cause of strength and peace in the character. "It is amazing how sometimes a name begins to shine like a star, and then to glow and glow until it fills the firmament. Such a name is Elsie Inglis."[7] FOOTNOTES: [1] Dr. Seton-Watson.
