fresh air, for the bulbs are sensitive
to that element. Let them remain in

formed. Then the bowl should be re-

flower buds appear the bowl may be

BALL FOR FREE SCHOOLS
Montessori Association Plans
Benefit for It's Work.

A Mi-Careme ball will be given at
the Plaza on March II for the benefit
Of the free Montessori Tenement
Schools Of New York. Mrs. L. Thompson
Seton, of 512 Fifth av, is chairman OF
the finance committee Of the New YORK
Chapter of the Montessori Educational
Association that is maintaining these
institutions.
One of the most interesting Of these
schools is situated in what was meant
TO be three tenements, south or the
John Jay dwellings, at 18th. St, near
the East River. II consists OF an once
a scboolroom, a playroom and kitchen.
The schoolroom is equipped with low
desks for the small children Of the,
neighborhood and luncheon is served
by the scholars themselves at round
table in the playroom. A canary and
a frog are kept as pets.

CONSIDERING THE BOOK RACK

Another development OF the same idea
is the movable and decorative book
ends, which hold the row Of books in
an upright position.
The book ends in particular vogue
are made of wood or Of metal OF vari-
Gus kinds. If the ends be Of wood
opportunity is given for the exercise OF
much taste upon the part Of wood
carvers, for of almost infinite variety
is the array Of designs available for
the purpose. Brass or bronze, some
times given a bright and polished fin
ish, but more frequently having a soft,
dull surface or even verde antique"
finish, are generally used when book
ends of metal are chosen.
Reproductions Of Antique Sculpture.
The choice Of metal ends makes pos
sible the use of small reproductions
of famous pieces of antique sculpture
or of examples of modern art. SO
varied is the assortment that one may
purchase a set of book ends appro-
pirate for any surroundings.
For book ends to be used in the
library, the study or in other rooms
where the atmosphere is "booksh,"
there are several designs which sug-
gest thought and study. At each end
of the row. Of books there may be a
tiny statue of the "Studious Monk, y
or else the Owl may appear in some
connection with the Lamp OF Learning.
Another design appropriate for
library is figure Of an Egyptian
Scribe writing upon a roll Of papyrus'
or else small figures symbolical OF
reading and writing. For other sur
roundings one might select small re-
productions of the Winged Victory
While many of the designs used for
hook ends are adaptations OF old pat
terms, many are quite modern. Inc
seals of many colleges and universities
are used for book ends OF metal or
wood. which are often painted or gllded
IN heighten the effect. Besides being
useful in college rooms they are appro-
nriate for use in the home. A woman's
hooks may be held IN place by some
odantation of the seal of Vassar, or
upon a mans study table there may be
book ends in patterns OF the shields
Of Yale, Harvard or Princeton.

d distinction. Then his fame spread 10
other Spanish speaking peoples and
(bcrc are 50.0OO00O Of them scattered
abou, the world, in Spain, the Argen-
tine, Mexico. Peru, Chilli. And now
Senior Dario is acclaimed the greatest
meet OF his tongue. He has written
twenty volumes Of verse, and has been
accorded highest honors In Spain and
in the Spanish speaking South Ameri-
can countries. In Argentina the ma
tional Congress has voted TO erect TO
his honor a monument equal in size to
the Washington monument The HIS
panic Society Of America has just pre-
scented him with the silver medal OF
the society, awarded only for distin-
quished service in art and letters,
which has been given 70 only fourteen
persons, including Senior Dario.
The Nicaraguan poet Is very modest,
however, despite the honors his coun-
trvmen have bestowed upon him, and
refuses 10 talk about his work. He has
q sensitive. thoughtful face and almost
timid manners. When his friend and
literary representative. Robert Shores,
spoke Of his genius Senior Dario bowed
his head in an embarrassed manner.
Then Mr. Shores read the following
lines on "Springtime" from "Azul," one
of Dario's most beautiful poems, as
proof Of his remarks:
"Mes de rosas Van mis- rimas
en- ronda la vasta selva,
recoger miel y aromas,
en- lasfores entreabiertss.
Armada, ven. FL gran bosque
es nuestro temple; ALI ondea
fiota un santo perfume.
mira en- tus ojos los mics,
da al viento la cabellera
= luz salvsje esplendids;
Dame que 8prieten mis- manos
las tuyas de rosa y soda
y Ne, Y muestren tus labios,
Su purpura humeda u freca."
Mr.. Shores translated these verses
literally, so as 20 keep as much as pos
sible of the original beauty Of the lines.
Month Of roses Ny rhymes go
Rollicking through the vast woods
To gather honey and perfume
In the half-opened flowers.
Loved one, come! The great forest
is our temple; there waves
And floats holy fragrance
OF love.
Look. in your eyes are my own;
Let your hair fy to the wind
And be bathed by the sun
In an aureole of light
That is savage and is splendid.
Let me press in my hands
Your own of silk and roses,
And laugh and show your lips,
So moist and fresh and ruby
"sefor Daro's poems drip with
color" said Mr.. Shores. There is love
and passion and sensuous beauty as
only a Latin could feel it. This repre-
sents only one Of his many phases,
however. Senior Dsrio is philosopher
as we'll as poet, and his philosophy is
eYnressed in much of his verse"
