The only first name that IL today

great world characters, william the

BY FRANCES MARSHALL.
The name William is honored above
all others just at present. for 1t is the
only name borne today by more than
one of the worlds rulers. In Germany
there is Emperor William. in Plland
United States there Is William Wood
row Wilson. And besides this II is
the name of three of the worlds most
famous characters-William the Con-
queror. William Tell. and William
Shakespeare. .'-..-
The name comes to US. according to
Teutonic mythology. from the very

mythology was named Walhalla or

Does Guest or Host Rule?

A few weeks ago Lord Gwydyr. a mem
Der of the British peerase, died and was
duly lamented. He had lived to a ripe
old age and he was really a member OF
an earlier generation. Thackeray himself
might have written affectionately, ye,
with sarcasm, Of this man. Two Of the
rules that he imposed .on the guests that
visited him-and he had many guests, fol
he was renowned for the shooting parties
he save-would take the genius Of q
Thackeray to describe.
One Of them was that his guests should
be in bed by 10 o'clock at night
The other was that they should not
smoke after dinner.
Rather remarkable both Of these rules,
especially in England. where the house
party guest is hardly tied by bonds more
personal than If he were staying It q
hotel. Yet they perhaps suggest the
whole philosophy Of English entertaining.
The English guest is welcome wherever
and whenever he is invited. He il free,
while a guest. TO do much as he plsases.
He may speak to anyone that interests
him. yet he is not called upon to be
friendly with his fellow-suests. IL he does
not wish to be. They are not even intro
duced to him. Future intimacy depends
solely on mutual desire. AZ the big Eng
Iish country houses entertainer t Is pro-
vided for the guests much as q hotel
plans to entertain its patrons. Meals are
l,,r~
when and where the guest pleases.
Yet in spite Of all this freedom for the
guest. there is a certain underlying rec
ognition on his part Of the rule Of Eng
fish hospitality that calls for allegiance
to the household one is visiting.
In the United States We have not yet
developed the house party to the stage
Of hotel-like character that It has reached
in England Excepting In unusual in
stances, introductions are stfll INDUCED in
by American hostesses. And the hostess
herself keeps a much more obvious watch
over the comfort Of her guests than does
the English hostess.
But on the other hand, we have not yet
developed race of guests like the Eng
lish house guests. On this side Of the
Atlantic many persons. and those Of
good breeding, too. fail to arrive at a
house party on the day they promised to
arrive, and they fail to leave on the day
the hostess in her invitation terminated
their visit. They do erratc things in
the way of interfering with the carefully
made plan sof the hostess, and what
would happen if they were asked to go
to bed by 10 o'clock?
Well, perhaps Lord Gwydyr's guests
chafed under his domineering rules. May
be they slipped into the garden to smoke
a cigarette when he wasn't looking, or
perhaps they carried electric candles
with them to his shooting place. so that
they could read or play solitaire surrep-
tttiously after he had sent them to bed.

an historian of the sixteenth century
says that in the time of Henry IL
about 100 years after the coming OF
the Conqueror two courtiers. Sir Will

save Williams might come. When the

found that 100 Sir Williams were gath

William the Conqusror shares his

Ever since the world first heard about
these three men there has been q GER

about them. The Norman warrior. who

wonderful poems and dramas put him

But Shakespeare and the Conqueror
were not the only noted Williams in
England. There were three other

were the two William Pitts. the famous

What Is Freedom?

I'VE are the freshest people on
EARTH" declares Professor Lasson. and
no doubt his view is the prevailing
view in Germany. A good deal of non
sense, in fact, has been written about
the supposed enslavement of the Ger
mans and the need of emancipatins
them. Germans themselves had a ST.
milar delusion about Alsace and Lor-
raine in 1870, and it was a bitter dis
appointment to find that they were not
welcomed as deliverers from the French
yoke. When any people has the gov
eminent it wants it is free; when any
other government is forced upon it
freedom is lacking. even If the fran
chise is granted. An autocrat, Mr.
Dooley has wisely said, is a ruler that
does what the people want an takes
the blame FIR it: "A constitutional tx
icutive. Hinnisy, is a ruler that does as
he damned pleases an biames the PEG
ple'-Springfield Republican.
Our exchange also remarks that free
dom after all is a matter OF point OF
view: that the German accepts all the
petty regulation of private affairs as a
matter Of course. while an American
would find them intolerable. But
when the German comes to this coun-
try and learns that in some states not
even mis- lager beer is allowed in traffic
he rails at our boosted freedom" He
does not in the least object to laws
which forbid the adulteration Of the

for these seem to him only an extern
