hended and interpreted by his con-
people of the Elizabethan era are
very different from their descendants
of the twentieth century. If our poet
was not able to reproduce truthfully
Italians, Moors, or Spaniards, he GER
tainly could not be well acquainted
with the idiosyncrasies of those who
were to be born a few hundred years
after his time. And yet, are the SEN
timents and passions which animate
his plays so different from those OF
our own generation?
Nobody could or would take away
from England the glory of having
given birth to the greatest poet and
the greatest analyst of human souls
but nobody has the right TO limit his
creations by geographical frontiers.
There is, however, confess, one
point in which the argument against
foreign interpreters of Shakespeare is
justified; it is the question of Ian
guage. If the plays are rendered In
foreign idioms, even the best transla-
lions cannot exactly reproduce the
beauty and force of the original, and
hence a great deal of the poetic
charm is lost.
Speaking of my personal experience
L want to add that among all the Eng
lish writers it was Shakespeare with
whose works I felt most at home. ]

The Difference Between Poor and Good Cabinet v
git is a fact not generally known that very
few sewing machine manufacturers pro-
duce their own cabinet work. This is a
distinct industry in itself.

production Of the highest grade sewing

To insure the proper selection Of these

employed, whose duty 1t is to purchase
Individual trees, the grain and growth of

being the most durable, is also the most
beautiful, the Singer process brings out all
