The career of Jean Webster Nc
kinney. who died last June on the day
mat her little daughter was born. was
remarkable for its steady. sure prog
ress. Mourned by hundreds of thou
sands. her great personal charm. her
penetrating Sense of humor made her
lo"afd the last a very potent influ-
ence in semi public life. Absolutely
the artist, yet absolutely without the
usual Nagaries of the artistic tempera-
hent. n possessed of an indomitable
VIII, only her untimely death prevented
her from reaching her goal--a place in
The front rank of American writer's.
Jean Webster's large hearted inter-
est in humanity was always the actu-
atlnS motive Of her pen. There is a
pretty play of sentiment in everything
she wrote, but her wholesome sense Of
huInor always saved her from senti-
mentality. and no writer of our time
was more skillful than she ii those
pleasing contrasts of hulnor and pathos
that are characteristic OF modern
American fiction.
Jean Webster was in no sense a re-
former. 'Daddy-Long-Legs' was the
spontaneous creation of her brain. in
spired. no doubt. by her passionate love
OF children. AS a play, even more than
in book form. it did moro good than a
thousand tracts in pointing the need of
institutional reforms. Its effect was
so immediate and 50 widespread that
the author found herself at the enter
of a reform movement. AS a result
she wrote her last published work.
Dear Enemy which. beneath the light,
engaging love story that plays about
the surface. presents the last word in
the care of dependent childrcn-a book
destined to do more effective service
in behalf of these unfortunates than all
the treatises yet published. Such is
the magic of personality, when com
bined with a seeing eye and a singing
pen. The names of her characters.
whimsically enough. she usually chose
from the telephone book. but the char
acters themselves We're always taken
from life both in her fiction and in her
playWriting.
She had evolved a thorough technie;
she was master of the tool she wrought
with; and at the time OF her death she
lacked only complete maturity of mind
and experience to achieve the great
things she was potentially capable of.
AS it is, what she has left US will stand
the test of time. l believe. as the best
of its kind"

COAST GUARDS SAVED DEER
Through Ice, Revived 1t and

Humanitarian activities of the coast
guard extend to the saving of wild
animal life. A deer chased by dogs

coast guard crew of the station at

the station boat and thence to the sta
ton; was worked ovcr until 1t re-
viyea, and then was set at liberty.
The tale ONE in Che report of
the keeper Of the station. The Incl
lent happened on the morning of jan
uary 3, when, about ten o'clock, the
station crew sighted the deer. pursued
by dogs, crossing a marsh about a half
mile away. The hunted animal at
tempted to cross Il pond on thin and
rotten ice, 1t was observed to fall
through, and try in vain to extricate
itself.
Three surfmen launched Il small
skilf and reached the deer after an
hours work in breaking through the
ice. The deer was nearly dead from

SAINT OF CANDY MAKERS
Macarius, Egyptian Man of Fame,
Properly Entitled to Such Honor
AS That Name Entails.

Probably few of the confectloners
and candy makers who cater to the
public's sweet tooth are aware that
they have q patron saint all their own
but such is the case. He is st
iMacarius. Macarthur was adopted By
the confectioners as their protector
because he himself followed the oc
Icupation Of making sweets in Alex
landria before he forsook the world
and its ways and retired to Thebais
lin upper Egypt to live the solitary anG
Iself-sacriiicing life of an anchorite.
Macarius lived in the fourth cen,
fury, and. IL we may believe the ira.
EDITIONS concerning him, he was q
champion faster. Tor seven years, ii
Us related, he lived ON n diet com.
posed of raw herbs and pulse. Dur.
ing Lent he ate on Sundays, and then
but II few cabbage leaves. One of the
remarkable tales told about the
candy saint" is that once, having
killed Il gnat that bit him, he expiated
the crime" by spending six months
In a marsh, where great venomous
