THE hour Of beauty is by nature
the hour OF love, for in my opinion
beauty must be the creator of love,
although happily love is not always
the offspring of beauty. Once upon
time it lasted some fifteen years
and the saying was current, "A
woman's beauty is like a fine fruit,
1t must not be picked too late,' and

John Keats.

More and more is Keats entitled to
a place among the greatest of the
poets. Keats was sick all his life. and
finally died when only twenty-six, yet
in that brief and wretched time he
was able to invoke the Muse as but
few have been able to do in the whole
history of poets and poetry. The high
est authorities say that the lode to
the Nightingale" is "one of the final
masterpieces of human work in all
time and for all ages" and almost
equal to that are several other OF
Keats productions.

In my opinion women have taken
the position they occupy today mere
~ because men have forced them into

den from the masculine eye because
they will not have men see that they
are distressed by modern conditions,
but that they have less of sentiment,
less of domesticity in its highest
sense than their grandmothers, l will
not admit They have simply ceased
to marry because changing conditions
have made marriage no longer an eco
Eonic necessity to the man. It is in
a spirit of bravado that the learned
woman or the working woman says,
Il prefer my independence"
Women will always live in their
emotions. They may be less hysterica1
than their ancestors, but they are no
less loving. They may, too. have a
broader vision which makes them re-
fuse to include in their scheme of life
a man who is unfit to be a good hus-
band or a wise father. Yet even as
they refuse such men, they will look
regretfully toward marriage. which
seems to them the desirable haven
and the ideal of supreme happiness.
