DOESN'T LIKE AMERICAN MEN
Gertrude Anterior Shows Herself tC
Be Caustic Critic.
TYPE SHE ADMIREs IN A NOVEL
Her Hero "a Cad of Low Nature who
Would Not ne Tolerated
Outside of ErOtic
literature.

It perhaps will come as a blow to Amer
lean men to learn that Gertrude Atherton
does not like them.
In a recent interview In New York she
had many uncomplimentary things to say
OF them. She said any European man was
their superior in everything that goes to
make a man attractive to woman.
American girls, she declared, were not
to be blamed for marrying any foreigner
In preference to an American.
After much going to and fro upon the
earth. Mrs. Atherton has discovered her
masculine ideal. 1t is the Englishman.
Here are some OF the things that she has
to say on the subject:
American men nave no subtlety. The
Englishman-in fact, all continental men
know better how to make love and how to
retain It than the Americans, American
girls cannot be blamed for marrying for
eigners. American men nave none Of the
subtiety OF the well bred Englishman, none
of his finesse. his charm of conversation
or manner"
This sort Of thing is the argument usu-
ally advanced to explain the marriages OF
American heiresses and titled Europeans.
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. When a
wealthy american SiIl hhItieH q ioteiAH
nobleman, we usually hear much comment
from rank persons, usually American
men, about her having sold herself for a
title. Mrs. Atherton would have us be-
lieve that she does nothing OF the kind.
As the foreign nobleman is SO much more
charming than American men, as he has
so much more "subtlety" and "~finesse, -
why should not the American heiress love
him and marry him., not for his title, but
for himself?
II so happens that Mrs. Atherton has
just published a new novel entitled Tower
OF Ivory In which she ampllfies her for
elgn ideal.
The hero OF her story Is a younger son
OF one OF the most ancient houses In Eng
land. lie has debts and objects TO earn
ing a living, SO he marries a wealthy
American girl.
She Is beautiful. well educated and well
bred. But she is a republican and ne is
an aristocrat. Consequently, he goes back
TO his siren. His detection kills his wife
But to the husband, her death brings onlS
a sense OF escape. He sticks TO the siren
Mrs. Atherton paints her man frankly
She admits his cruelty, his heartiessness
his ~selfishness. his lack OF principle. his
utter want Of anything resembling honor
But she does not blame him for what h,
does. Though her attitude is apolgetic, HI
remains a hero to the end.

COURAGE OF THE MODERN GIRL
h Mo- Only Knows the Right Thing
to DO, but Has the NeFve
to DO II.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-"I don't know
what to make of the modern girl" said an
elderly woman dressed In mourning. She
Is beyond me. 1 don't know where she gets
her nerve. her fearlessness, her command
of a difficult situation.
The other day / went to visit a subs,
urban friend out In Jersey. On my return I
took a trolley into Newark 10 take the
train for New York. The car was nearly
filled with women going to the city to
shop or market.
A a village which we passed through
six young men boarded the car and sat
down together. They talked and laughed
in q loud and offensive manner, made re-
marks on the women around them and
sWore so that everybody could hear thsH8
l sat close by them. They had no respect
for my gray hairs or mourning,
Suddenly a clear voice caused every one
in the car TO look at the speaker. She was
a young woman, perhaps % or %. Appar-
entity neither rich nor poor, nor axtraor-
binary in any way. She looked straight
at the group Of young men and said: "IIl
have you arrested when / get TO Newark
The six looked around at her with
mouths open. Deep establishment was
printed on their faces. She faced them all
and said again clearly: i will have you ar
rested when l get to Newark.' She was
perfectly cool and fearless and evidently
meant exactly what she said.
THE effect was remarkable. The car be-
came perfectly quiet. The young fellows
whispered and Uttered together a little
but nothing more was said out loud. On the
edge OF town before the car reached the
general stopping place in the shopping
center they al, got off.
Now that girl not only put the fear Of
judgment into those young mems hearts.

Best Shade Trees to Plant.

Arbor Day comes Friday, March
18th, and it usually originates a dis
cussion as to the best trees to plant.
To throw some light on this and other
questions associated with tree plant
ing, the Oklahoma experiment station
has in press bulletin on Tree Culture
prepared by Prof. Morris of the horti-
cultural department The advice of
fered is based on the extensive results
obtained on the station farm in grow
ing trees not only for shade and orna-
ment, but also for post and pole pro-
duction. The white elm, also called
American elm. is given first rank as
a shade tree because of its sturdy and
excellent shade The soft maple is
given consideration chiefly because of
its rapid growth. and the same refers
to the Russian mulberry which is also
very hardy. For second bottom land
or for location more or less exposed
to the wind, the blackberry is a fav-
orite. The white ash has been found
especially adapted for street use where
the foliage is constantly exposed 20
dust. Among the nut-bearing trees
the pecan is most enthusiastically rec
commended, though the black walnut is
not overlooked for bottom land The
oaks are as family well spoken If,
though they do not bear transplant
ing, as some other varieties. For parks
and pasture ground paintings they are
specially valuable Among the ever
greens the Scotch pine is given first
place for planting in eastern and cen
tral Oklahoma with the red cedar
ranking next. Owing to the associi-
