THE AMERICAN TEMPERAMENT

It is a curious but inevitable irony that the American temperament, so notorious for it's owerweening confi- dence and self-esteem should be of all temperaments least reflective, and for all it's self-consciousness should know itself so ill. When criticized, it is either perplexed or amused; when challenged, apologetically boastful and seemingly delights in misconception and misrepresentation. A striking in- stance of this singular trait is the way Americans abroad exaggerate their na- tive mannerisms and become veritable caricatures of themselves in good-nat- ured mimicry of the national type In it's extreme form the tendency might be characterized as living up to a li- bel to save the trouble and expense of legal proceedings. Whether this be due to a sort of mistaken chivalry or to mere childish responsibility is as hard to determine as it is unneces- sary;-either is reprehensible. There is in this dependence upon foreign opin- ion something of native shrewdness for judging others by their opinion of oneself, but much more is to be attributed to an instinctive aversion from the bangs of introspection and a childish capacity for using other people as mirrors. No other nation, perhaps, has played so sensational a role, but no other nation has stood so in need of its audience. The his- trionic demeanor of Americans abroad at times so very like the behavior of actors off the stage, exacting calcium light duty of the sun, is a real clue to the national temperament. If only by the reactions of others do we achieve any definite notion of what we ourselves are, it is small wonder that we have cultivated the actors manner and practice his arts, only it is a strange art for an otherwise inartistic nation.-Alain Locke, in the August number of The North Amer. ican Review.

POETESS OF PASSION WRITES LAMENT IN
 VERSE FOR HER CAT

To be mourned with as much sin- cerity as a distinguished human be- ing, to have an impressive funeral, to be buried in the family lot. and last but not least to have a poem dedicate9 to her at the obsequies by no Iess z celebrity than Ella Wheeler Wilcox is the distinction which belongs to Kits tie LOomis." a humble BranfoTd cat Kittie, the pet of Mrs. Sarah J. I.oo- mis of the summer colony, had been pet for years She died few days ago. To die just to hare a poem written about you, is enough reward for a long and useful life for some human beings, and in the heaven where kit tens find plenty of catnip and milk throughout eternity, there must bs much satisfaction for "Kittie."
 On earth Kittie Lomis had all ths catnip and milk she could possibly wish, also any number of other deIi- cacies. She always went calling with her mistress after she was old enough to walk, and she kept general oveT- sight at the house. She thought thsrs should be a time limit for everything. and often when she became tired Of watching her mistress play some ta- ble game she would jump on the ta- ble quietly and lie down upon ths game. That was a signal that 1t was time TOT the game tO sup, anu too game did stop.
 Kittie Loonis was rather patricfan among cats, and numbered more hu-a man beings than animals among her friends When Branford people, in~' cluding Mrs. Wilcox. went to Europ8. they remembered Kittie LooH1is and sent her postal cards. so that upon her death she left a large eollection, among wIich were views of very rel mote countries the faTthest points 0f the world included.
 She was an unusual cat and could speak in a language that was thor> oughly understood by her mistress. She never cried. One reason was, Of course that her meals were always on If she wanted to pass from one room to anothers or go out of doors, shs, needed no one to wait upon her; shs could turn the knobs and open any door, If she was shut upstairs ana desired to come down, she just opeu-- ed all the doors and went out.
 Kittie Loomis had been photographs are treasured by the grief sfrfckeu
 She was seven years of age at death and is survived by progeny of 5&
 Here is the poem Mrs. Wilcox wrots in her memory at the unique eat fun~ eralr:
 "A little spark of Gods great namss From which all living creatures camef A little heart hid under fur,
 That loved, and told 1t in purr, A comrade and a friend of years Oh, is there weakness in the tears. Which wall, when at the hearth ana
 door,
 This little friend is seen no n,orer
