REVIVING BALLADS.

The Bureau of Education has start
ed movement which may end in
the dethronement OF ragtime song. It
is seeking to revive the ballad. and
it has commissioned Prof. c. AL
phonso Smith, of the University Of
Virginia, to conduct a search for ver-
sions-presumably Americanized YER
sions-of ancient English and Scotch
border ballads, such as robin Hood, "
Johnnie Armstrong; Last Good
night and THE Wife of Usher's
Well" It is planned to make COL
lections of ballads in each State, and
school teachers will be asked to CO.
operate.
There is no intimation that real
American ballads are to be collected
and nursed back to popularity.
American ballads have never been
classic, whereas the ballads of Eng
land and Scotland led to whole
class of literature in which Cole
ridges Ancient Mariner" and Ten
nyson's Revenge" are good ex-
anples.
or course. American ballads like
After the Ball" and Two Little
Girls in Blue" answer William
Sharp's definition of a ballad-"the
lyrically dramatic expression Of ac-
tons and events in the lives of
Others" but these gems were born
too late. We submit, however, that
they convey as much sense as many
Of the ballads that sprang from the
border minstrelsy of England and
Scotland.
The chief trouble about the ancient
ballads, particularly the English
ones, is that they are gloomy. Some
balladists would not Law aside their
quilts until their heroines pined
away or were drowned. They knew
their audiences. The people of the
cattle countries loved to have a good,
fearful evening at the end of a hard
day.
But gloom. no matter how thick,
would be better than some of the
rot that is now sung on our variety
stages. Anything that can kill oil
the weedy crop of songs like Here
Comes My Daddy Now" and 81 Didn't
Want to Do IT, would be welcome.

Among the millions there are tall,
slender women and short, stout ones,
there are small women and there are
women with average fi0ures-and
the right model for each.
r. and G. corsets are produced in
such tremendous numbers that they
have reached q very high standard
of corsetry.
They are easy for lounging, trim
for walking, stylish for afternoon and
graceful for evening, and no matter
whether standing or sitting they are

A few years ago q woman did not
think comfort and style could be
found. in the same corset; but with
the advent of the natural figure this
is possible.
r. and G. corsets are comfortable
because they are built to follow the
natural figure lines. and for every diff
