Hint Anou. Cooking Rhub.rs.

Not everyone knows that rhubarb
can be as easily cooked in the oven as
on top of the stove. Cut the rhubarb
in half-inch lengths: do not peel it.
Put it in an earthen pudding dish. To
. dozen moderate-sized stalks add two
cups Of sugar. Cover the rhubarb with
a plate and set in a moderately-hot
oven. Let it cook in this way for about
one hour. IL it is rich. juicy. red rhu-

especially nice. covered with a thick

century would not tolerate the crusades, and
it would laugh the frills and fustian OF ch1V-
airy to scorn; but the poet has caught and
cryStal1lZed the fire OF its zeal ana tue haunt OF
its panoplies.
An ancient vogue in verse is sometimes hap
PLY revived; even the arbitrary forms are be-
ing called to life again. ana olaion trlnee t 9.
t he tripping, laughing rhyme. steps from MS
forgotten tomb and pipes his DalladeS TO the
nlneteeth century:
Ho. Viloni You conjured the rhymes II your day,
Like q bold troubador. and a gallant free-iance,
But your ghost is disturbed. and the devils to pay,
For the foible Just now is the Muse OF Romance.
A new bouquet is often distilled from the
flowers of alien speech, as ''When the Sultan
Goes to lspahan":
The pet of the harem, Rose-in-Bioom,
Orders feast in his favorlte room:
And stains with the henna plant the tips
OF her pearly nails, and bites her lips
Till they bloom again: but aias! tt at rose
Not for the Sultan buds and blows!
Not for the Sultan Shah-Zaman
When he goes to the City Ispanan.
The words are English, but Aldrich has given
to them an Oriental flavor. The poet compels
attention by well-chosen ep1thet, as when
Milton calls Athens
The eye of Greece
and Byron calls Rome
The Niobe of nations.
He photographs thought or an emotion by
vivid metaphor, as when IhomaS buchanan
The only ghost of flowers,
and Fawcett says of the humnfing bird:
Was it bird half gem,
Or was it gem half bird?
He fascinates us with suggestive vagueness,
as when our own spontaneous poet, Joaq uin
Miller, says at the grave OF Walker
] said some things with folded hands,
Soft whispered in the dim sea sound.
But l might quote indefinitely; the covers
hide galaxy OF gems.
Rhymes made for sound are lmpotent and
empty. The poem must be 1000 Tor thought
and potent in suggestion; its cadence and color,
tone and tint are emphasized by expression.
1t is the airy, fairy touch, lighter than the fall
of the snowflake, which reveals the art of the
poet. He tosses his ters to and fro in happy
accord with his theme. He eXuits in pRan,
moanS in dirge and croons in a cradle song.
Words are the many colored stones with which
he constructs his moSaics; they lmpart grace
and beauty to his thought; they lend it rhy thin
and rhyme; they glorify and lmmortalize it.
In word, poetry is the witchery OF expression.
The Chairman-There is no grace that
so charms, no delight that so enthralls as
madcap wit and pure, wholesome humor.
Wit and hunor, they are Joy, radiance,
light, life itself and more. But all that
these merry children are, it gives me very
great pleasure to say that DR.. J. Dennis
Arnold will show you.

L might say as much of "Macaulay's Essays" or
