Keeping Up with Lizzie" based on his
book of that name Americans have
kcenly enjoyed the uuhurtful and whole
some satire of the author in his works,
The Cheerful Yankee 'keeping Up
with Lizzie and other books of sweet
charm, and especially the appeal of all
his writings for their human qualities,
but il was a unique treat for the inter-
ested audience that witnessed his char
urtcrs nodded into realities by the crea-
tor himself.
The story of Lizzie the daughter of a
Connecticut merchant becoming pos
sessed of the idea that her life was too
tame, leading her parents into ruin to
crafty her aspirations and exciting the
keep up the pace. was humorOusly told,
and without preaching pointed a warning
against the rich and would-be rich; it
pleaded for the fostering of the elements
OF life that make for the strength Of
American manhood.
With quaint philosophy and humor Mr..
Bachelor pictured the worth of the Puri-
tanic life of our forcfathers in contrast
10 the shams. follies and destructive ten
dcncies of the day. 1t was an earnest
lesson uniquely taught through the inter-
esting characters of his books. The in

NO CHERRY TREE THIS YEAR
C. w. Senior Glass VIII Hsxs n,
Year Book

The Cherry Tree. student yearbook nj
the George Washington University. will
not be published this year. Decisibn to
this effect has been reached by the senior
class of the institution following the re-
fusal of the board of trustees of the uni
Versity to remit tuition to the editor and
business manager of the publication.
This request was made of the board nv
the Association of Glass Presidents In
view Of the great difficulty encountered
In securing students who may be willing
to devote their time and energy to the
work wholly without compensation. The
proposition was presented to the board
by committee headed by Erwin Harsch
but the university officials deemed the
subsidy inexpedient.
The University Hatchet. weekly student
publication, prints editorially a lengthy
obituary of the Cherry Tree and criticises
the board for its action.
This year will see the grewsome prece-
dent of graduating class without a
CHERRY Tree" reads the editorial. Those
persons who desire to see nothing in the
university which savors of official subsidy
OF student interests are placing them
selves on record as opposing the most
efficient advertiser OF the institution"

THE GREAT WHITE WAY
By O. o. M'INTYRE.

(sUeglal Correspondence Of The Washington Herald
| New York, Jan. H.-Wilfred Funk
writes now and then for pleasure-al-
though he Is not adverse to accepting
a check Mr.. Funk is the pioneer in urC-
ing the young writer to abolish the lofty
style generally acquired at college and
| write for the whole peopIe-for the bows
on the barges and the women in the
wrappers"
Editors of magazines and newspapers
say that the greatest fault to be found
with the young writer is his fear of
getting his English mussed I'D. One
high-brow youth once complained Gym
icaIly to a big theatrical manager that
he dreaded writing down to the public.
Oh, Heliotrope!
Mr.. Funk says: Il would rather take
my place among the writers with the
lofty thoughts and the racy STYLE who
are read by the masses, than with the
dusty ones who turn out impeccable
esoteric classics and have to take in
each others washing for a living"
Another popular writer says: Some
times you are forced to take your gram
mar as hunter takes his fences, and
catch, II possible, flying thread of syn
tax
Howard Gould tells of a prisoner being
convicted because of local sentiment, race
prejudice and political expediency. As
he was led to the scaffold they asked
him:
Have you any final request to make
before your mouth is closed forever?''
Yes" said the doomed man. IT ask
that my hands be not tied. so 1 may
utilize those moments until the trap
falls-knitting socks for the mistreated
Belgians."
