Children's Corner
Easter Belongs to-Who?

NNE fine spring day, in fact, on the
Overy afternoon before Easter, a say,
happy rabbit went scurrying across the
yard On the opposite side. he met q
jolly. good d-natured looking chicken.
Good afternoon, Friend Chicken" he
called, "why are you looking so happy?
81 can't help being happy" replied the
chicken, because tomorrow is my very
own day.
Tomorrow" exclaimed the ranoit, TO-
morrow is Easter."
"Of course tomorrow is Easter" an
swered the chicken, Easter, my Easter
the one day of tho whole year when
young chicks like myself are really Inn
portant. Easter was made for us.
The rabbit swallowed a lump of red-hot
rage and tried to be polite as he answer
ed, For you! How can you say such a
thing? Look at the store windows! Listen
to the children talk and you will soon
know that Easter is the day for rab-
bits!"
For rabbits" exclaimed a pair Of eggs
who rolled down the road Just then,
what a stupid idea. Easter is the one
day of the year devoted to eggs People
eat us and color us. They even make
cookies and candies and cakes in the
shape of eggs to do us honor"
at really is astonishing how many mis-
taken ideas there are in the world" said
the rabbit (still trying TO be polite. but
finding It very hard work.. 81 supposed
everybody knew that Easter belonged to
rabbits"
They all four began to talk at once
the chicken. the two eggs and the rab-
bit each tried to convince the other that
Easter was private property.
Willie the argument was at its height,
a messenger boy, carrying load OF
boxes, came along the road. lie stopped
TO rest minute and overheard the dis
cuss,on.
1.-THE very idea!" he exclaimed as soon
as lie could get in a word, lust as
though you poor little creatures counted
for anything at Caster time! You may
be used for decorations. but new hats are
what really count! Easter was made for
new hats"
Before anyone could say a word by way
of answer. another messenger boy stop
ped nearby to rest, My, but | am tired !"
he exclaimed. "It is rush here" and
suit done in time till I'm tired enough to
drop! / wish there was no Easter for
new suits!'
But Easter is not for new suits" eX-
claimed the chicken, the two eggs and the
rabbit in one breath Easter is for US"
You are all wrong" whispered a bright
sunbeam which had fiickered down from
the blue say above, EASTER is for every
body! In the springtime the earth likes
new things. likes young fresh things, so
we honor the flowers, gay colors, young
animals and newborn creatures; and we
dress in fresh new garments I'm honor of
the newborn season. But Easter itself. IL
belongs TO everybody-Decause it's God 8
day.!
With a gay smile, the sunbeam was
gone; the argument stopped and every
body some way felt suddenly happy and
smiy as they went on their way.

Romantic Staten Island

Most persons probably think of Staten
Island as remote, unexplored land in
habited principally by harred people OF
the middle class, who are necessarily
rushing for the ferryboats bound for New
York. But Godfrey Corson. In his novel
Blue Blood and Red" CHenry Holt Il
Co., New York; proves that such view
is quite erroneous. lie shows beyond pos
slbillty of doubt that Staten Island has an
aristocracy, very proud and exclusive.
and haughtily opposed TO having one OF
its sciops involved in a love affair with
the daughter OF a mere tugboat captain
Not that the scion was determined to
have the girl. Quite otherwise. The de-
sire for possession was far stronger on
the side of the lady; and eventually she
won, though at much cost to herself and
though the man in the case al one time
wrecked her hopes by marrying another
woman.
The romance has its interesting pages,
though the author wastes far too many
words in recountng his narrative. Re-
lentless pruning would have made it far
stronger story.

Satire and Thomas Hardy

A collection OF varied poems by Thomas
Hardy is of particular interest because
poetry is the one medium through whieh
this great writer now chooses TO express
himself. The "Wessex Poems" and
Times Laughngstocks," which preceded
the present volume 'Satlres OF Circum-
stance" (Macmlllan) had each its poign-
ancy and its power; there were poems in
the second volume OF an unforsettable
misery. Mr. Hardy's philosophy, the pes
simism Of one who is impressed with the
irony rather than with the misery OF the
world, is peculiarly adapted to poetic and,
indeed. TO all artistic treatment. Yet for
Mr.. Hardy, irony has too often meant
mere coincidence: the tragic irony of cir
cumstance has seemed too often to be, In
his work, adventurous and unnecessary.
So in the present volume one feels lack
of grandeur, a falling off in philosophic
appreciation. There was a time when
even in Mr.. ITerdy's bitterest stories, in
the worst of "Lifes Little Ironies" and
in the best of the novels, one felt at least
some thrill of emotion at the very black
ness and blankness of the tragedies. That
Is missing now.
And apart from the is bitter little etch
ines which make up the centre portion OF
the book and give 1t Its name, there Is
vast deal of what should be called bad
poetry. II Is verse without inspiration OF
any nlBh order and without depth OF
thought or splendor of imagination in ex-
preston. Such n poem as THE Con-
vergence of the Twain" on the disaster
of the Titanic is childishy written and
saved only by the truly splendid concep-
tion of the fashioning in the hand of God
(called immancnt Wild of the iceberg as
mate to the ship. There are a few pas
sionate bits, few lovely descriptions and
a vast welter Of triles in the book sur
rounding the 'Sati~pe
much in praise cannot be said. They are
sharply and deftly written, with more
humanity snd less abstract moodiness and
rancor shan any OF the other poems.
And thev are by that token infinitely more
appealing and more terrible
