"The Eyes of the World' Protest
Against License in Modern Fiction

Andres. AS pure as the air Of the
san Bernadinos, the California range
within view of which she was born
and under whose shadow she had
lived all her life, she forms a study
of poetic grace beautiful to contem-
plate. She is marked as his prey by
James Rutlidge. the friend of Tame.
but she is saved in highly dramatic
way.
Mrs. Taine. who. certainly could not
be blamed If she desired to inspire
love in some other than her WORKOUT
dying husband, looks with favor
upon Aaron King, the hero of the
book, but her advances to him are
vain after he has been brought under
the spell of the purity and rare
charm and beauty of Siby1.

LSBURG PARK

One of the most delightful places
of enjoyment Newarkers have is the
Vailsburg Amusement Park, on South
Orange avenue. Tt was formerly
known as Electric Park.
1t really is an ideal place, especially
to spend an evening. There is a
splendidly equipped restaurant and
cafe. And every evening there is
dancing.
The proprietor is John NJ. Lederer.
Music is furnished by Vncentz's Mill
tary Band.
The public are awaiting themselves
of the opportunity provided by the
various attractions of the park. Sew
eral societies have booked their gath
erings at this resort, and those who
delight in dancing will appreciate the
splendid floor and the delightful
music.
The mans cement here are to be
et mmended on thC'- provision of a
childrens playground for use every
morning and afternoon. Admission TO
the park is free.

There are, says a great critic. three
points chiefly to be considered in
work of romance. or a novel. These
are the subject, the disposition and
the ornaments. The chief excellen-
cies of story, or the nuda materia
of a romance, are novelty, probability
and variety of incident. The most Inn
portant excellencies of romance are
the style, the characters, the senti-
ments and the descriptions.
In 1.-THE Eyes of the World" the
author, Harold Bell Wright, it seems
to us, has fulfilled all the require
ments of this dictum as regards the
novel. His subject appeals to all hui
mainly, its disposition is logically ar
ranged, it's ornaments are of such
character as to arouse the really
poetic mind to admiration and inter-
est.
The progress. of the story reveals
novelty and variety. incidents of dra-
matte intensity and the whole is made
a perfect semblance of life by its
probability. While we cannot agree
with the critic of the publisher that
1.-The Eyes of. the World is more ro-
mantle than 1.-THE Shepherd of the
Hills" nevertheless, this last book of
Mr.. Wright is full of poetic feeling
and fancy
Undoubtedly, in writing the. novel
the author had purpose, that OF
showing in the fierce white light of
publicity the communicating influence
of some of the literature and art of
the present day. On the one side he
paints a picture of the effects of
lust and license on the lives and
characters of men and women Mr.
Tame, his dire example of the results
of the punishment which nature
metes out to those who defy her laws,
would have satisfied lola In its
strength of realism.
The description of the death of this
man, his collapse at the Feast of
Materialism," when he sees the hand
writing on the wall, is the same
scene as that most effective one in
the play "A Partisan Romance"
where the roue, as he toasts his
guests, as abandoned as himself, is
suddenly struck down by the hand
of death.
Beside the picture of Righteousness
in the person of Mr.. Tame, his volup
tuous and sensual young wife and
his friend. not less forbidding than
himself, there is placed the charac-
ter Of the mountain girl. Sibyl

In addition to the people in the
plays Mr.. Forsberg will, as far as it
is possible in a stock company. dl-
plicate the scenic and other effects
displayed in the Broadway produce

studies of what has been shown in
New York, so nothing will be want
ing in the productions of these PLAYS

1t is seldom that such care is taken
by stock managers, because of the
necessary hurry required in making
such productions, but Mr.. Forsberg
says he has promised to give Newark
the very best presentation of PLAYS
possible, and he means to carry OUT
the promise in every detail. His com
pany is to be a permanent organiza-
ticn, and he wants it to enjoy the es-
TEEN and goodwill of the people of

The Cynics-

Cynics was the name applied ito a
school of philosophers founded by An
tisthenes. a pupil of Socrates. The
main tenet of the extreme cynics was
that civilization is a curse, and true
happiness can be obtained only by
gratifying the most primary physical
appetites which man has in common
with brutes. The general attitude of
the cynics as distinguished from that
of the stoics, who regarded everything
in the external world with indiffer-
ence. was one of contempt. They were
not an important philosophical school
numerically, but attracted attention
largely by their eccentricities and in
science. On account of their contempt
for refinement their name came subse-
quently to be applied TO any one who
takes mean view of human life.

Four hoboes were arrested yester-
day afternoon by officer John Kinney
and VIM. McKeiiy, special detective
of the Rock Island lines. near the
Thirty-first street station of the road.
This morning in police court each
of the quartet had originated an ex-
cuse which he presented to Justice of
the Peace Carl ]. Kuehl. Some of the
reasons given by the men for being at
the station were humorous, one of the
four stating that he was awaiting an
arrival of a shipment of onions.
Justice of the Peace Kuehl let the
men understand that they were not
slipping one over on him" and then
let them off lightly by ordering the
four to assist the police in cleaning up
around the station for two hours. He
suspended a fine over their heads of
six months each and stated If they
did not leave town he would put the
sentence into execution.
They gave their names as Thomas

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I was 80
years old this spring, although

good looking and wear good clothes
My folks are quite well off. Some of
my sisters and brothers. younger than
l am, are married.
"a How could 1 attract the atten-
ton of a young man about my own
age? ! hardly ever see him. l go to
a country church, where there are no
young men at all.
(2) How could get job in store?
have never clerked, but would like
a job. / am handy at most anything.
(3) Am / ain old maid? / would
like to get married. but the right
man has not come along yet.
(4) Would you advise me to an

umn? Some say it is wrong. / am
afraid to do it.
go have a full face. How should
wear my hair? READER.
% Give an afternoon tea or in
formal supper once a week or so and
invite your men and women friends
to come Make it so very pleasant
and the "eats'' so good that they
will look forward to coming. In this
way you can invite the young man
and get him into the habit of COM
ing Find out what interests him
and be able to talk about it, or lead
him to talk about it. Be pleasant,
attentive and as attractive-looking as
possible.
1 do not see why you should not be
able to marry a nice man. A woman
of 80 is more desirable as. a wife,
usually, than a young girl.
(2) Apply to the proprietor or
manager, tell him what you can do
and ask for a trial.
90 No woman is an old maid
unless she feels that way in her
heart. 1 think you are wiser to wait
for the right sort of man than to
marry any man just because he hap
pens around.
"a 1 have never known a happy
end to marriage that came from
matrimonial advertisements. The
men are looking for a wife who has
property, and the women want some
man to be their meal ticket. That's
about all there is to it. Many of
them also are fakes. Better keep
safe.
90 If you can wear your hair
parted, wave it back softly over the
ears, and do it in a low knot at the
back of the head If you cannot
stand a part, make the front hair
into a low, loose pompadour, franz
ing the face and covering temples |
and ears.

Why Flowers Flash.

The strange phenomenon exhibited
by r~-ne red flowers of seeming to
flash in the twilight, but only when
the flowers comes sideways into the
range of vision, is explained by Pro-
fesso- F. A w. Thomas. He says twi-
light makes red seems brighter and
green duller than in full daylight. As
the image of the red flower moves
from the peripheral part of the retina,
where the rods are red bliL ID, to the
fovea the red is perceived more vivid
ly than before, and this image coin
cides with the purkinje after image OF
the surroundings, giving the impress
sion of a flash.

TALKS ON THRIFT.
BY T. o. MAC GREooR.

The man who has looked upon saw
ing as an almost hopeless task, with
the interest earned scarcely enough
reward for his efforts, ought to change
his views because of the great oppor-
tunities now presented to those who
have saved.
Pick up almost any newspaper and
you will see unusual real estate op-
portunities. because owners need the
money and will sell at a sacrifice.
That is where the thrifty man comes
in. He looks upon savings as capital,
which if invested OPPORTUNITY will
yield many times the usual rate Of in
terest
For example. the other day we read
this little advertisement in the CLASH
fed" section of a newspaper.
This place must be sold at once.
Any reasonable offer considered, as
need the money"
Such an advertisers extremity is
the savers opportunity, because he
can use his savings to buy piece OF
real estate at a price which will net
him good profit when this temporary
depression and period of liquidation"
is over. which will be very soon, un-
less all signs fail.
Perhaps in this very newspaper
there is advertised Business Oppor
tunity" which appeals to you and
which you might take advantage of If
you had some extra money available
for the purpose.
The only certain way to be ready
for business opportunities is to save
and deposit in the bank.
To most money earners the ques-
ton of acquiring capital resolves itself
into turning as much as possible of
the earnings into a permanent invest
ment fund.
Build up a savings account in some
good bank with the purpose of being
ready for your opportunity when 1t
comes to you, as it surely will, sooner
or later.

successful lawn sociables OF the sea
sen was that OF yesterday. when the
Ladies' Altar society of ST Joseph's
church entertained on the lawn at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. John Marion,
1411 Fourth avenue. Tiny electric
bulbs strung throughout the lawn fur
nished the light and served as a prytty
decoration. Small tables were placed
here and there on the lawn and the
veranda, each one frightened by a vase
OF garden flowers. There were booths,
too, each with its wares attractively
arranged. At one of these, fancy work
and aprons might be procured. at an
other homemade candy and at another
cigars and pop. Miss Katherine Lyons,
Miss Margaret Caulfield and Mrs. Wal

and the young ladies assisting in serv-
