Some of the Attractive TOasts Pro-
posed at Young Peoples Gather

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Where friendship, love, and ice cream
dwell the angels twine their crowns of
heaven. The artistically decorated par
lor and its center table were enlightened
by the many bright eyes in the blue
sky OF Old Glory in honor of little Ar
thur, who balanced the scale of ten.
His little schoolmates then marched m
by ones and twos until the room was
fairly filled Then one for all made a
brief congratulatory address, supported
by two others, to which the little host
replied in manner which pressed tears
into the eyes of elders in attendance
and could not be surpassed by our sill
Ver-tongued orators on political
stump. The table was weighted with
cakes and with candy and ice cream
as much as the boys could digest. The
well-selected toasts of the youngsters
touched the hearts of the listeners and
covered wide range-our country, its
emblem, patriotism, home, woman.
army and navy, friendship. etc.-ani
this Sunday afternoon will remain deep
ly impressed upon their minds and
memories. l will add a few of the
toasts of the little boys as a guide for
others. What is Home?" The
Fathers Kingdom; the Ghild's Paradise;
ting, in Which the Brightest Jewel is
Mother" THE Place Where You Are
Treated Best and Grumble Most" "The
Center Of Our Affections, Around Which
Our Hearts Best Wishes Twine," etc.
Having found, great pleasure in the
entire entertainment, and noticing at
once the great benefit derived there
from by large number of good boys.
ri hope that many others will follow it
as good example, beautifying it, as we
songs, and endless happy smiles.

Divorce Should Be q Scientific Situa.
ton of the Misfortune of Marital

MiSfitS.
To the Editor OF THE TINES:
have read with interest the several
communications in the Mail bag upon
tho subject of divorce.
For years l nave been puzzled to
know why this subject of such vital
Importance Is SO little discussed, as
think 1t should he discussed for public
consideration. such as the merits and
necessity of the facts demanded.
Possibly the problem is too serious,
too weiShty. too professional and tech
nical for free. popular discussion. 1 do
not think 80. am unable to name a
problem OF public interest of so much
vital public interest, upon which
have seen so little in print that had real
merit to il. that comprehended the
problem.
To illustrate: In the first place, the
phrase. divorce evil," IS most n?islead-
ing. There is not primarily a ''di-
worse evil.'' but 4 marriage evil" that
calls for divorce as a cure. There may
be- an "abusc" of divorce, as any effort
at remedy may be abused. Even liberty
may be shamed by the riots o. license
and abuse. not a use.
The evil in social life today is
largely in evidenas before the divorce
processbegins, If it were harder to mar
", or. rather, if the state gave more
attention, scientific attention, to the
fitness of candidates for marriage, the
marriage evil could easily he les
scned, and divorce would disappear for
want of demand! People do not demand
what they 10 not need.
This indscriminate bowling against
what Is unthinkingly called the EVIL
of divorce only advertises the ignur-
amuses who utter such 81: eaminGs. All

tect. which he has called Practical Dry
Fly Fishing" and which is published by
Charles Scribner's Sons, New York.
This book is an important addition to
angling literature, as, from his earliest
boyhood the author has been an angling
enthusiast, and the pages are filled with
practical advice for the guidance OF
those to whom fishing is one of the rar-
est sports. The author has made his
little book a sort OF encyclopedia re-
garding fishing, with practical advice on
the choice of rods, lines, sinkers, and
other tackle; methods of upstream
fishing, together with a chapter on what
he calls that cruel ting, THE Drag"
and methods of taking the educated"
trout AS a matter of fact. his little
book contains much of interest even
to those who know nothing at all about
fish except when they are seen on a
platter nicely Drowned and garnished
with parsley and sauce tartar. There
is an appendix to the book. wherein are

equipment for dry ny outfit, even 10
the clothing a fisherman should wear

Birthday Greetings to America

Oh. Mother of a myriad sons,
Their children now their homage bring
With bugle notes and roaring guns
The mountains and the valleys ring.
We love thy flag. her stars. that shine
From Heavens armament were
brought.
Their brilliant luster ne'er shall tine.
BY master workmen they were
wrought.
For liberty thy sons have died.
In freedoms cause they blazed the
path.
Old England's power they defied
And fearlessly withstood her wrath.
Our freedom gained by noble sires
Wen keep unsullied from stain,
Keep burning bright her altar fires
And guard the portals of her fame.
On high that glorious flag we see
And know twill ever be unfurled
To teach the way of liberty
And truth unto a waiting world.

enough influence to control more than
his own vote. No one takes him seri-
ously and no one ever will. The fact
that The Times gives such prominence
to the statement of this overdressed
dude simply goes to prove that you

ster up Roosevelt's waning cause.
Whenever II becomes necessary to con-
suit the wishes of Tim Woodruff 1, for
