PRUDHOMME WAS
POET OF KINDNESS.
william Nulivitzky, High School In
structor, Lectures on Him Be-
fore Alliance FRANCHISE. i

Poet Sully Prudhomme's life and work
were discussed by william Mlwitzky, in
structor in the Newark High School, be-
fore the Alliance Franchise in the Free
Public Library late yesterday afternoon.
Many interesting "reminiscences of the
Frenchman added interest to the lecture.
1.-THE striking appearance of Prud-
,homne,"' said the speaker, gave imme-
diate.y a good idea of tire character of
the nan, whose strongest characteristic
was kindness. His poetry bears out that
truth IA every instance, so that even his
strong poems are given with a scrupulous
regard for the feelings of others.
"He lost his father at a very early
age, and he thus remembered his mother
only as in mourning. He says himself that
his childhood was bordered in black. His
school life was a very depressing one,
for him, because he went to a school
where the life was more like that of a
prison tina that OF an educational insti-
tuition. and one of his most beautiful
poems, called First Solitude, describes
the bitterness of school life for a delicate
child.
Later on in life he was disappointed
in the friendship he had formed with Il
cousin, 4 girl of great charm. He meant
some day TO make her his wife, but she
married a rich young man. proposed to
her by her folks. This disappointment
gave rise to a number of very beautiful
poems, in which he sings of love as en-
bodying a doubt, the most notable of
these being the one entitled 'Scruple.'
"When the Frane6-Prussian war broke
out continued the lecturer, "Prudhomme
considered it his duty TO take an active
part, and we see the poet in the ramparts
for the defense of Paris. Much later on
in life, when he again hoped 10 build a
home, the object Of his affection was car
ried off by death.
In his last will he left his home. with
all ITS belongings, as a home for poets,
and In recognition of such a generous gift
the French government itself VIII very
soon establish a museum, TO be called the
Musee P~rudhomme."

RED ones Are BEST.

When you look at your own COM
fortable-clothed youngsters, just give a
thought to these less fortunate, and
then give something more than a
thought to some one who needs it.
Your own Christmas will be the ffier-
rier.
And If you give mittens to any Of the
poor little girls of your acquaintance,
be sure to have them red. There is a
wealth Of joy. and comfort in a pair OF
red mittens which is not found in any
other color. like gloomy black or or
binary blue. Red mittens We're just
made for little girls, to warm their
hearts as well as their chilly fingers.
Mittens are not nearly as essential to
boys. They never seem to mind bare
hands at all, picking up snow and
ice with as much concern as il their
fingers were encased in fur-lined gloves.
But I'm quite sure they would wear
them If they had them, so | just hope
that some one who is already rich, and
does not have to wait for her ship to
come in. will start a mitten fund for
the children. MOLLIE.

CONCERNING HATS.

a neat mushroom hat seen this week
was of sage green, lined with chiffon Of
the same color and bande with a green
and silver Oriental braid which was almost
hidden with the green plumes of a similar
color. Three plumes were psed, but they
were short, fluffy, and did not give a top
heavy appearance to the jaunty style.
1t is quite true that the hats are not
decreasing much in size, M but little hope
is entertained for q decided change for
some time. The large hat has never aeep
more widely discussed than just now, for il
is laudcd, ridiculed, shown TO the public
in all its Haunting gorgeousness or miser,
ably portrayed in queer caricaturos from
the comic section OF papers and even maya
zines. That il lives through so much
criticism is really remarkable. though the
style is wholly unbecoming. There are
smaller hats, yet they really look like old
styles, since the large models have prece-
dence over everything, even good sense.

MONOGRAPH AND SAVAGES.
Used by Travellers to Get Records Of
Strange Songs.

There has just been published in Vienna
q picture showing a group of New Guinea
natives singing into a monograph for the
benefit Of science. The record whicbthe
dreds of others ia the Academy of Natural
Science, Vienna. They were secured by
Dr.. Rudolph Pooh during his ethnologieal
researches in the second largest island in
the world in 1861 and 1906, says the Phila-
delphid North American.
While these twelve men were singing
DIR. Pooh was standing at one side with
his camera. and he caught his photo
graph of the whole performance. The
natives belong to the Baifa tribe and live
In British New Guinea.
DIR. Pooh spent about two years wander
ing from one tribe to another. He lived
with g dozen or so tribes in the German,
British and Dutch possessions. No eth
biological expedition TO New Guinea has re-
turned with richer results. and DR., Pooh
attributes his success largely to the fact
that he mad almost daily use of the
camera, the photograph and the cinema
tograph.
His records Of the nntive songs are all
the more important because many OF them
are religious or ceremonial songs and are
the accompaniment of ceremonial dances;
and both dances and songs have beea
handed down for generations. Many of
the songs are not at all melodious, While
others are not unpleaSing.
1t was difficult TO record all of some
very important songs, Those of the Yassi
Yassi people, for example, have the
peculiarly OF growing softer and softer
tirely.
1t was found better to pose the singers
In q group before the machine rather than
TO record the songs during the dances. In
many songs, for instance, boys have an
important part, but their position IN the
dance is 81 a distance from the other
singers and their notes are not SO clearly
recorded, so boys and men are grouped
for making the record. All the dances,
whether purely social or having a deeper
meaning, arc accompanied by singing.
The monograph served many other pur-
poses. Fine records were made of many
languages. Somc of these tongues have
gutterals and other peculiaritics which are
very difficult for q foreigner TO reproduce,
but usually they come out very clearly in
the photographic record.
Then mDny records were secured OF the
sounds evoked from musical instruments.
BY no other methods could these sounds
be exactly reproduced.

A woman's gift of speech is often
made to furnish material for the prac-
teal joker and the self-satisied funny
man. They never seem to tire of tell<
ing stories or making jokes about the
woman who has her say" | wonder
IL any of them have ever met the
woman who don't talk at all, and an
swers every question put to her in
monosyllahles.
She may not be much of a subject
for a joke, but she is just as much of a
bore as the woman who tAlks too much.
It's quite true that the laxative
woman often makes n nuisance of her
self. but in my humble opinion she is
a degree better than the woman whose
vocabulary is limited to yes and no,
and who. if you endeavor to engage
her in conversation, will blush furiously
and act as if she thought you some
sort of a curiosity,
/ have in mind just such a girl, and l
know of nothing more embarrassing
than to find myself alone in her COM
pany.
Now. a really accomplished girl knows
how to talk. She is not necessarily a
cenVersationalist; neither is she a mute.
But she keeps herself informed on the
topics Of the day, SO that If she cann2t
meet a specialist on his own ground,
she cam, at least, listen iptelligently
and make a show Of understanding
what is being discussed. The one adj
vantage for q woman of being a good
talker is in knowing how to entertain
and seem entertained by whoever she
happens to come in contact with. When
a hostess sends her down t. dinner, OF
asks her to a reception, it is with the
blessed assurance that SHE will get
along with whoever her partner MAJ
be.
Being able to talk we'll gives a pep
son a certain amount of s%elf-eonn-
dence. and a girl who is confident ol
herself may be called more or less ac-
complished. The girl who is conhdenl
of herself doesn't fall all oven the fur,
riture when she enters a room, moi
does she strike IN pngainly pose il
sitting.
There is no excuse for a woman
being "a bull in a china shop M
girls education is complete If SIN
hasn't been taught to talk and move
about with grace and case.

NOZZLE


II | We're rich I think I'd use a good
amount annually in buying mittens for
the children of the poor. Their little
hands look so cold as they vainly try
to tuck them up in the too-short
sleeves. But they are patient little
creatures as a rule, and we seldom find
them whimpering because of their dis
comfort. They learn all too II
seems. to save their tears for the
greater misfortunes which ii is then
lot to endure. And their bravery makes
us feel only more sorry that it is not
within III power to help them as
much as we would like to.
The idea of having a special mitten
fund-were | rich-came to me forcibly
the other day, when 1 met a mite OF a
little woman trudging through OF
the buster streets with a big basket,
around the handle of which W little
blue, chapped hands were tightly
clasped, prohibiting all possibility pr
tucking them under the peculiarly
shaped coat, which gave decided cyl
dence of having been made from the
garment of an older person.
