Naturally al! people who have their
say about society" do not care to
have their views published and APP
piled to all society. Doubtless the
actress. Ethel Barrymore, sometimes
INDUCES In the thoughts recently at
tributed to her with regard to some
people she has known who are lin
society,"" She put in a denial for her
self without disputing the main drift
Of the argument that had been placed
on her lips. Society is a very am
biguous term. and Miss Barrymore or
Mrs. William Astor. whose views also
were recently published, or any othH"
woman of experience can criticise Ger
tain social clements without meaning
to condemn all society.
In this country it is difficult to say
who are and who are not in society
and, above all, to say which is the
''best society" of any community. In
monarchical countries the royalty and
nobility stand at the head. and all 9th
er elements of society are graded upon
them. Here there can be no leader
ship except that which may be voted
by q given set or circle. Some one
gives a function, and invitations, like
kissing, go by favor. Empty parlors
mean that the would be leader has
made a mistake. The truth is that
America has no "best society" and no
arbitrary extremes. There is n varie-
ty of society, and those who are So
cially disposed can take their choice
If there are any who cannot fit in
somewhere the fault does not neces-
sarily rest with society"

Carnegie's Type of Hero.

In establishing a hero fund for his
native Scotland Andrew Carnegie in
sists upon the same distinction be-
tween heroism today and the heroism
Of the age Of romance which has been
made in the awards from the Ameri-
can fund. 1t is stipulated that the he
roes of the new fund must be follow
ers of peaceful avocations in the Brit
ish isles and the waters thereof" This
leaves out the army and navy, to
which the romantic mind naturally
turns for Daring doors" worthy to get
Il prize or Il decoration.
The heroism which Mr.. Carnegie
wants to reward is that in which the
actors risk their lives out of pure hu-
man fellow feeling and sympathy. The
military man would be disgraced in
the eyes of his comrades If he failed to
face danger in any form. He Is train
ed to ignore pain and death. But for
the civilian, trained to peaceful avoca-
lions, to give up life at the call Of an
others needs is in every sense heroic.
With our modern views Of the duty of
selfshness these are the true heroes.

Az Army ..Hall OF Fame,

The recent naming of the ten new
torpedo boat destroyers after naval
officers to commemorate noted deeds in
American history leads the New York
World to suggest that a few names
might well be borrowed from the army
roll Of honor for the same purpose.
The names added to the naval "hall of
Time" by the last order Of the presi-
dent include those of three rear adj
mirals, three captains. three command
ers and n midshipnan. AS It stands
the torpedo fotilla commentaries he
roes of all our wars, among them
Lawrence, Hull, Decatur and Perry.
Farragut, Gushing, Worden and Wins :
low. Our naval traditions are against
the commemoration Of civilians by
naming warships after them.
With the army the case is somewhat
peculiar, for, While it has long been the
custom to name forts and batteries
after distinguished soldiers, civilians
are also honored in that way, and,
again, names are conferred upon forts
because of their local geographical sig
nificance. A warship Is a unit and
may carry the name it bears to any
part of the world. The parallel Of the
warshIp in the army is the regiment.
1t is a unit and in a regular army
gathers in the course Of time traditions
which are inspiring to the men. Names
that can never die out of our military
traditions might be conferred upon reg
iments. In the volunteer service it Is
a common thing for a regiment to
have a synonym, sometimes by formal
adoption and again through the evolu-
ton of a name given by chance, even a
nickname.
AS the army is composed Of three
arms Of service, there is opportunity
to confer in each branch names that
have a special significance. The forts
could be given names Of soldiers dis
tinguished in the defense of fortified
positions, batteries the names Of heroes
Of the artillery arm, cavalry regiments
might commemorate soldiers distin-
guished in saber battles and infantry
regiments the heroes Of brilliant
achievements in the field, where "the
man with the musket" bore the brunt
of battle. These historic synonyms
might be conferred by II charter, and
in time they would be priced by the
! men as were the eagles which Napo-
leon bestowed upon his battalions as
awards for conspicuous deeds Of valor.

The Post Gard Fad Waning.

The industry Of manufacturing SOU
venir post cards began to show a de-
cline in France early in the year. Re
Gently it was reported that the Ger
man makers found their stock rapidly
Increasing ON their hands and no de-
mand coming from the dealers.
' American and English makers en-
barked in the post card trade when the
boom was at its height, and this may
have affected the trade of the CONT
mental countries. Again, the postal au.
thorities have banished many of the
cards from the mails, seizures Of large
quantities have been made by the au-
thorities both here and in Europe, and
the Objectionable card should have part
Of the blame for the present depression
in that trade. Particular people wish
to avoid all appearance of evil.

The Poe Centenary.

The year 1909 was fruitful in giving
birth to genius. Darwin. Gladstone
and Tennyson are among the distin-
guished Englishmen born that year,
while at the head of the Americans
there looms Abraham Lincoln as the
greatest figure of his time. Lincoln
was born in February, as we are nov
annually reminded. Three weeks ear
lier Edgar Allan Poe first saw the
light in Boston. Richmond, Va, was
Poe's adopted home for a time. He
died in Baltimore and there lies buried.
Poe's centenary will be honored here
at home by his many admirers and
also in France and England with re-
spect and admiration.
It has been claimed that the tales
and poems of Poe were the first to in
troduce the merits OF American litera-
ture to the readers of Europe. He Mt
least originated a school Of writing
which foreigners honored by Initiating.
The James Of Emerson, Hawthorne
and Poe are often associated as those
of three men who stand apart from
their fellows as writers1of unquestlon-
able genius. Not a few award the
palm among these three to Poe. AS n
master Of subtle and imaginative verse
he has been placed in the highest niche
among Americans. His influence was
long recognized here and abroad, and
that part Of him which is immortal
his works. certain to receive homage
worthy OF It on two continents on tile
.lndrcdt. anniversary Of his birth.
