LOVE on Two POETS
Were Ella Wheeler Wilcox and James
Whitcomb Riley Engaged?

Whitcomb Riley Engaged?
Chicago Inter-ocean: Mrs. Barabra
Wellington, who is a friend of Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, said yesterday: "Did
you know that Ella Wheeler and
James Whitcomb Riley were once en-
gagged to be married?
"Well, they were,' she continued,
"and had the engagement not been
broken, the West which raised them
both, would have had both forever
Ella Wheeler Riley would not have
sounded as we'll as Ella Wheeler VIII
cox, buteperhaps her songs would have
been just as sweet. But 1t may possi-
bly, be good thing for the public,
from a poetical standpoint, that these
two song birds were not imprisoned in
the same cage Diseord instead of
melody might have been the result.
"James Whitcomb Riley is poet of
childlilke simplicity. He sings of little
children, of pastoral summer scenes,
He reveals the beauties in common
everyday existence. To the wearied
soul. worried by the small things in
life, he shows that there is poetry and
music in the humdrum and monotony
of their being.
ELLA Wheeler Wilcox is no less a
poet of nature, but It's nature in an
entirely different mood. She portrays
the unrest OF passion.
"He who runs may read the simple
purity OF Riley's verse, but many of
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poems are not
crystal clear to those who themselves
are not pure of mind. Riley Is all
peace, she is all turbulence. The stars
OF destiny controlling the idealistic life
OF each are far apart. His horoscope
would not be hers. They might have
been married, but each would have
lived in world where the other would
have been stranger. The result might
have been the same as that reached
in less talented families. And further
each might have spoiled the others
