Lack Sense of Proportion.


In a recent interview Marion Har.
land declares that women lack sense
of proportion whjch men naturally
possess. She believes In the necessity
OF her motto Something must be
crowded out" She continues: Each
woman must decide for herself whas
the unimportant things in life are, or,
rather she must learn what the inn
portant ones are and let the others
go. The interesting details of her
own full life in her book, Marion Har-
lands Autobiography" form a link be-
tween the more leisurely hours of the
Old Dominion and the still strenuous
days of the octogenarian.
Additional Revision Needed.
says the North American Review:
at the request OF King George the
venerable Dean Hole has been revising
the British national anthem In order
TO bring 1t Just a little more up-to-
date and in harmony with the modern
spirit The dean has improved IL
materially as far as he has gone nv
substituting lines in the stapza read.
ing "Confound their politics, Frus-
trate their knavish tricks" so that
the revised version reads Beautifully
as follows:
Lord our God arise.
Scatter his enemies.
Make wars to cease.
Keep us from plague and dearth,
Turn Thou our woes to mirth.
And over all the earth
Let there be peace.
Certainly this is unexceptionable. hui
we think the dean has not gone far
enough and to remedy his omissions
we venture to suggest the following
additional lines. which we respecttul-
ly submit to the distinguished con.
sideration of His Majesty:
Please cork UP Bernard Shaw.
Keep us from saying "Awi"
