st. Louis, No. May 2s.-
The northwest is fully alive to the
subject of travelling libraries, with the
initiative in Wisconsin, due to the eff
clent service of Miss Gratia Country
man, the newly elected librarian of
Minneapolis, and others.
Mrs. Perkins of Tennessee empha-
sized the vast influence of the travel
ing libraries, and by her invitation,
Mrs. CaWood of Tennessee, gave an
autobiography of library on its trav-
els among the mountaineers Of the
south, otherwise so remote from liter
airy influences. She brought the real
atmosphere of her native mountain
ranges as she told of the hunger and
eagerness of those highlanders, for
good books. The accomplished librari-
an of the st. Louis public library, F.
M. Crunden, spoke of the inspiration
of libraries, and his position is particu-
larly pleasant in this direction, as the
million dollar Carnegie structure is in
process of erection.
+ Professor Zeublin Of Chicago Uni
versity emphasized the theme of art
as an educator, especially among the
lives of the humble men and women
who must form their education and
conclusions, not from European
travel but American scenes and life.
He argued for the teaching in color,
form ana design, and universal in
struction in the simplest elements Of
art among all conditions of men.
This thought was quite in keeping
with the splendid display of the Min
nesota educational section at the
fair. The exhibit arranged under the
efficiency of Miss Sirwell is artistic
| harmonious and representative.
While many Of the states have over
crowded their exhibits with many good
things, she has made judicious Sc
lection of representative exhibits.
These, artistically framed before they
were brought to st. Louis, enabled her
to have the distinction of Minnesota
being ready on the opening day.
/ Iowa and Indiana have represented
the work of the Federation Of wom-
ems clubs in their educational de-
partment. Indiana has seventeen
panels representing womens work in
/ its publications, scheme of study,
state reports, philanthropic efforts, as
/ well as a memorial to Robert Owen,
their early statesman who secured
legislation favora BILE to women. There
are also represented in their palace of
education, all the state year books and
portraits of the four founders of their
organization. Miss Taylor of Green
castle, Ind, is the present president
and. she is an accomplished linguist,
author and speaker. She reads and
speaks in twenty languages.

good reason. " lust think, Mademoi-
selle Yvonne is to be married Tues

There is an interminable line Of
visitors, loaded with presents, Of
furnlshers bending under their loads.
The servants are in state of col.
lapse AS to the parents, and the
young couple. they do not exist, and
they are no longer Of any fixed habi-
tation. During the day they are at
the dressmakers', the milliners', the
paperhangers', furniture dealers,
jewelers., or in the apartments, now
delivered into the hands of painters
and cabinet-makers. From there Il
rapid race 10 the Offices of the bust
ness men. whore they await their
turn Willie watching clerks engross-
ing papers in the semi-darkness,
After that there scarcely remains
time TO hasten, each TO his and her
abode. TO dress for the series of
acrimonious dinners. dinners of he
trothal. dinners of presentation, the
dinner Of the contract, receptions
and balls. About midnight they re-
turn hayassed. only to find the last
arrivals OF packages; a deluge of
letters. Among them congratua-
lions, compliments. acceptances ma
regrets Of bridesmaids and ushers,
and excuses from belated tradesmun
Ande then the annoyances Of
the last moments--a sudden
death that discrepancies the brir
dial procession, wretched cold
which hinders an actress, friendly

PREFACE.

The invalid, undermined by fever
and devoured by thirst, dreams dur.
L ing his sleep Of cool brook where
he bathes, or Of a clear fountain
where he drinks In great mouth
fuls. So, in the complicated agi-
tation Of modern existence, our
wearied souls dream Of simplicity.
is that which we call by that bea'l-
tiful name blessing disappeared for
ever? / do not think so. II SIM
lplicity had belonged to some ex--
ceptional circumstances, known only
in rare epochs. we might renouncc
its realization FOR the present. We
cannot lead civilization back to its
origin any more than we can lead
back the wide troubled rivers to the
tranquil valley where the alder
branches droop together over their
source.
But simplicity does not depend
upon any certain economic or social
conditions. It is more OF spirit
which can animate and modify lives
or very different kinds. Far from
being obliged to pursue 1t with lni-
potent regrets we may, ! affirm 1t,
make Of it the object Of our resolu-
lions and the aim Of our practical
energy.
To aspire to the simple life is to
rightly aspire to the fulfilment of
the highest human destiny. All tho
movements of humanity toward more
Justice and more light have been
at the same time movements toward
"a more simple life. And the antique
simplicity in arts, manners and ideas
hold for us their incompatible value
only because 1t has been able to give
a powerful relief to some essential
sentiments, to some fixed truths. We
must love that simplicity and guard
1t piously But he will have gone
but the hundredth part Of his road
who holds to exterior forms, and who
does not seek to realize the spirit.
In fact, it is impossible for us to
be simple in the same ways as were
our forbears, and we can only re-
main so, or return to simplicity in
the same spirit. We are walking in
other paths, but the aim Of humanity
is fundamentally the same. It is
always the polar star which directs
the mariner, no matter whether he
is embarked on sailing ship or
steamer.
S To advance towards this aim NIL
the means Of which we can dispose
is the most important thing, to-day
as ever. And it is because we have
often been drawn aside that we have
confused and. complicated our lives.
IL l could succeed in causing
others to accept with me that In
terror knowledge Of simplicity, |
shall not have made vain effort.
Some readers will think that such
an idea should be incorporated III
manners and education. They will
begin by cultiyating it in themselves,
and Will make the sacrifice of a few
OF those habits which hinder us, from
being men.
Too many encumberlng utilities
separate lis from our ideal Of truth,
Justice and Kindness which should
warm and revive our hearts. All 4
that brushwood, under the preteNt
of furnishing lis shelter, us and our
happiness, has ended by yelling our
sunlight. When shall we have the
courage to oppose tho deceptive
temptations of life as complicated
as 5nnfruitful with the answer OF the
sage:
Get out of my sunlight!'
