MISS FARRAR's VIEW.

Miss Geraldine Farrar, an American
singer who won warm approval in her
own country, and who has now taken
up her residence abroad, is quoted at
length by a German interviewer on the
subject of art in the United States and
Europe Miss Farrar is made to say
that she will remain in Germany and
never sing anywhere else. that she is
an American, but truth compeis her to
admit that there is no art in the Unit
ed Stetes. There is only money
there" she is said to have added.
THAT is why L came over here"
This would seem to be the height of
ungrateful imbecility. if Miss Farrar
is correctly quoted, which is doubtful.
But she goes on:
Americans, moreover, are deficient
in artistic appreciation America pre-
duces talent-that is apparent from
the large number of US singing in Ber-
lin-but in our own country we would
be impossible. Had we sung there no
body would have known whether Wa
sang Wei Vi bclIlg %AlilCLA OeiilS DSlhlllDl
judge music because they are utterly
lacking in understanding.
Art is an impossibility in a land of
political corruption. Where money IS
so much needed for elections there is
none left to build opera houses. Amer
leans can only be advanced to the po-
sitiOn OF a land of culture by modelling
its system of government after that of
Germany"
It may seem a brutal way to put it,
but. after all. it is true that the test
of a nations appreciation of art is, in
large measure, the willingness of the
nation to pay money for art. Many
people who have no appreciation of
things artistic may pay large sums of
money for paintings and subscribe for
boxes for grand opera seasons. But
the general public is depended upon to
support grand opera, and the general
public does not pay its money for
something it doesn't like.
Miss Farrar would not be living in
Berlin today if she had not won Amer
ican favor and dollars. Good, hard
cash contributed by the people Of her
native land made it possible for her
to live abroad. She will say that she
gave full value for those dollars. She
undoubtedly did, but it is execrable
taste for her to criticise the source of
her money. Besides. what she says is
flagrantly untrue.
Why is it that the flower of Europe's
musical talent is heard annually in the
United States? DO those singers come
over here out of motives or phiianthro-
py, to teach a nation of barbarians the
finer things of life? No, they come for
those hard American dollars that are
Iavished 50 bounteously, and often so
undeservedly. upon them. They may
be artists to their fingers tips, but
they dc not object to liberal remunera-
ton in the coin they affect to despise.
They earn more in single perform
ance here than they earn in twenty
performances in their own country.
Have we no appreciation Of art?
What dc you honestly think is the an
swer?

AN UNPLEASANT SPECTACLE.

Some weeks ago a New York actor,
Raymond Hitchcock, was arrested,
charged with a revolving crime. He
had been previously indicted by a grand
jury to which. in the opinion of that
body. evidence sufficient TO warrant a
conviction had been presented After
being arrested Hitchcock disappeared.
Nobody apparently knew where he was
for about a week. On the day set for
his preliminary hearing, however, he
appeared and entered a plea of not
guilty, being later released on bail. He

1.-THE Mothers Nursery Guide"-By Sc
trak G. Eghian; G.. p. Putnam's Sons,
New York, publishers.
While the old-fashioned mother shifts
with disdain at the idea of a baby,
book-raised, the little lady who sudden
ly finds herself the possessor of a wee
dimpled one, with no knowledge to en-
able her to differentiate between a
sQueal of temper and a waff of pain,
win find DR.. Eghians handy little
book a most desirable and invaluable
adjunct to the first nursery. Perhaps
no branch Of the domestic menage
needs a cleaner sweep of old and dan
gerous theories than the nursery. De-
fective knowledge of how to care for
the tender young life, trusting faith
in the advice of the ignorant, and the
mistaken and blind belief in the all
magical power of a mothers love, have
turned many a cooling, rosy youngster
into a waxen little bit of clay, and the
mother who, knowing her own ignor-
ance, studies the subject of child-rais-
ing at least as diligently as she does
her cook book will be rewarded by less
aches and pains in the baby with con-
sequent gain of sleep and peace for
herself. DR.. Eghian, who is a practi-
toner in Ogden, Utah, is well Suali-
fled to pose as an oracle on the care of
the baby, as he is a specialist in the
diseases of children and graduate of
the University of Berlin.
The little book he has put forth tells
in a concise and simple manner with
no cumbersome medical phrases to be-
wilder the mother who is struggling
along under the weight of maternity,
the intelligent way in which to minis
ter unto his lordship, the baby. He
strives m inn1rf a lea CT q vynTl(in q
knowledge of the principles which mod
ern science has laid down, and aims to
enable the mother to cooperate intelli-
gently with her family physician.
The mother, who at the slightest
sneeze from the cradle sends for her
doctor in a distracted manner, and the
mother who waits until too late before
securing or invoking medical aid for
her child, will be alike benefited by
keeping the book close at hand and
reading it over carefully and often.
The topics as arranged are particu-
larly practical, especially "Physiolog-
ical Peculiarities in Infancy" Feeding
the Infant" Artificial Feeding" with
its many perplexities; Personal Hy-
giene of the Baby" and its care imme-
diateiy after birth; signs of Illness in

The history of the French invasion
of Prussia is made very interesting by
Eva Madden in her 1.-TWO Royal Foes"
1t is the story of the good Queen
Louisa from the viewpoint of a loving
people. Little Bettina, the peasant
girl who walked across the kingdom
with important documents sewed up in
the lining of her dress, the children of
the rich and educated Won Storks, men
and women of every walk of life, and
the statesmen and soldiers of the realm
wOrshipped at the shrine of their
charming queen. By her tact and di-
pIomacy she turned the hatred and
persecution of Napoleon into admira
ton and an offer of peace at the ex-
pense of her allies, the Russians. Con-
quered and almost helpless, the Prus-
sian rulers refused to pay the price.
Later the car entered into an alliance
with the French cOnqueTOr to further
huIniliate and injure Prussia. Then the
queen set to work. Their affection for
her bound her people together. Her
sympathy and example aroused a de-
termination in their hearts to do some
thing for her. They worked, made sac
rifices, drilled in secret and followed
Butcher to Waterloo. After the style
of Muhlbach, Miss Madden opens the
doors Of the most exclusive circles and
gives the reader glimpses Of court life
and the domestic affairs of royalty. 1t
is a well written story of a thrilling
period of European history.
Europe on 81 a Day, How TO Go 1t
Alone" by "A. RollingstOne" Charles
Newton Hood), illustrated soc. The
Rolling Stone club, publishers, Ne
dina, n. Y.
He who saves along the way,
May go again some other day"
This couplet with which Mr. Hood
heads one of the chapters in the new
and revised edition of his Illuminating
travel book, is a condensed explanation
of its popularity.
The little publication has had an odd
history. 1t grew out Of a discussion
among the members of the Rolling
Stone club as to whether, by careful
planning, a high-class and perfectly
comfortable European tour of seventy
five days duration could be made at
an average expense of not over 81 per
day. or under $500 for the trip.
To decide the matter one of the mem
bers, Charles Newton Hood, the short
story writer, and his wife made the
tour.
They followed a carefully planned
route which was decided upon as the
best first trip to Europe, and also the
best if it was to be the one foreign
tour of a lifetime. 1t included the lead
ing cities of Italy, Switzerland, France
and England.
The exact cost of the trip, New York
back to New York, was well inside the
limit (about $3.50 each) and absolutely
every expense was included.
The report of the trip was 50 inter-
estingly told that the club published a
modest edition of 500 copies for mem
bers and their friends. SO many peO-
pie found it useful that a large second
edition was printed, then a third and
now a fourth.

THE Folks Afield;" Eden Phillpotts,
author; @. P. Putnam's Sons, New
York, publishers.
Just simple chronicles, sometimes
mere sketches of humble village folks,
this collection of short stories gives one
an almost startling insight into the
seemingly stolid mind of the peasant
and the toiler Murder hate, revenge
and love, Phillpotts IN his own char
acteristic manner, flashes upon his
canvas in quick succession, and the
effete denizen of the boulevard will
hang his head in shame to realize how
sluggish and dull his blood ciTculates
in comparison with these fiery and
imaginative folks of the village and
field.
''The Earthquake Child" the opening
story, is probably the best bit of de-
scriptive writing. although the little
plot is but a scrap upon which the lurid
flames of earthquake and fire form a
highly dramatic background. For the
rest, the stories are a hodge podge of
swarthy- haired lovers and coquet cish
maidens, who incite the SWANS to all
sorts of mischief and wrong, and tempt
to destruction with red lips and fash
ing eyes. Despite the theatrical clap
trap that mars some of the stories, the
author writes convincingly of these
people and displays sympathetic IN
sight into their longings, ideals and
life even, though he gives hitherto I'M
suspected attributes to his bullet-head-
ed lovers and large-waisted heroines.

1.-THE Altar Fire" by Arthur Christie
pher Benson; G. P. Putnam's Sons,
New York, publishers.
To the eager devOurer of sensational,
moribund or -problemetical liter
allure, Arthur BensOn's latest offspring
VIII prove of not one single moments
interest or amusement, but to those
rare souls who delight in his writings,
THE Altar Fire" will be a treat in
deed. Differing in many respects, it
yet bears a delightful reminiscent lik-
ness of From a College Window" pos
sessing the same tranquil charm of
easy grace and delightful musing as
the earlier work There is an intellec-
tual piquancy about the many chap
tiers, howeverJ that redeem it from any
suggestion Of unaleTtness, while the
quiet thread of humor that runs
through every page gives the reader
an actual fellowship feeling with the
Iovable character who sets down his
whimsical, but at all times sane, views
of men and things. The book fairly
radiates with the quieter joys of living,
and points out the happiness of the
mediator and the thinker To one who
delights in the crooked little Journeys
deep down into a cultivated mans
mind, the last cover of the book is
reached with a sigh, and the book
is laid down with a keener appreciation
of the beauties and charm of the quiet
intellectual life.

country during the past decade. Mr..
Whipple, however, wins the unpreJu-
diced readers attention and respect,
if not conviction, in the first pages of
his book. The central idea, the thread
that binds the different topics treated
of together, is that ''as a man thinketh
so is he" In a nutshell. the author
has aimed to inculcate the idea that
health and happiness is after all large
ly, if not wholly, a matter of right
thinking. Keeping absolutely clear of
the cult of cant and the twang of mi
racle healing. he attempts to show by
many convincing deductions, that the
mental state of ill health invariably
precedes the physical malady, instanc-
ing the well-known fact of affection
from sheer panic during epidemics and
the like. Fear and worry, the book
goes on to tell, are arch enemies of
mankind, and have been through ages,
along with mineral drugs and minis
ter 10 the effect and not the cause of
disease. Whether or not the average
reader will be induced to follow Mr.
Whipple in all of his excursions into
the much fought over realm of mental
healing. to the neurasthenic and by
pOchOndriac the perusal of the book
will undoubtedly be of benefit, particu-
larry those parts which prove that the
many symptoms of hysteria, melan-
chOlia, nerves, decline, etc, are the re-
suit of the wrong mental attitude. To
the ordinary prosaic reader with no
nerves and a healthy stomach, the book
will prove of interest as being one Of
the sanest and plainestf of it's kind,
wholly devoid OF any attempt at mys-
LITIGATION or occultism.

Sex Equality S-By Emmett Densmore,
NJ. D.; Funk & Wagnalls Co., New
York, publishers. Price, S1.50.
Whether actuated by mere curiosity
or animated with the most sincere and
deep desire for knowledge on the many
sexual and sociological problems treat
ed of, Sex Equality" will interest and
impress any reader who is willing to
read through the first chapter. Treat
ing men and women from a racial more
than a social viewpoint the author
should receive a crown of laurel from
the sex so long called weaker for, with
many instances of proofs and facts to
back him up, he manages to make out
a convincing argument proving that
mans so-called superiority in many
things is due entirely to the fact that
woman's training has been defective
and that her mode of life has handi-
capped her. instead of any physical or
mental unfitness as a candidate for
equal place with man.
WOman's long acknowledged inferior
ity in the larger and higher realms of
thought and work, he shows by count
less modern and some ancient examples
is due to the fact that she has had
to struggle against the suffocating at
mOSphere where masculine dominance
of her world placed her. Deceit, finesse,
intuition and similar attributes are
shown to be purely the result of sub
servience and enslavement.
The book is far from being a full
some laudation of women as a sex, for
her faults and weaknesses are unspar-
ingly discussed, the author, however,
in almost every instance giving the
fair ones the best of it by excuses
based on the grounds stated before.
The book has but one aim. to convince
that there is no weaker and no superior
sex, and that the distinctions made so
far in the history of the world are sim
ply owing to false conditions. Incl
dentaIly, the author takes a rap at
polygamy and polyandry, and declares
that monogamy produces the finest
race.
While rather sensational as to title,
the book treats of the different topics
embraced in a purely academic man
ner and with nothing to appeal to the
taste always eager for some discussion
of the eternal topic of man and woman.
