To Raise Money for Fund

s.
Dear Madam-Please print in your psper some
suEEestions how 70 raise money for the Zionist
"merEoncy fund.- W" are group of Young men
we working for that cause For The isrt
few years we have been giving a dance each
year. which proved TO he very successful, hut
we find that by dance 4 year we do not raiss
enough money. SALIIE
Why not hold a novelty bazaar? 1t is a
ltte difficult, Of course, to interest persons
in any sort of fund that has not to do with
war relief work, but ! am sure the young
persons you mention will have a sufficient
number Of friends to patronize the bazaar
well enough to make a success Of it. II YOU
hold the bazaar about month before
Christmas you could make a speciality of
selling things that could be given as Christ
mas gifts The bazaar could be held i'm the
basement of "A church At this there would
be booth for knitted goods, doll table,
candy table, cake table etc
If you do not care to go TO the trouble
Of the bazaar, why not have a Supper?
heard of a very attractive one given in
courses at different houses The first course
was served at one young lady's home, the
second at another's, and so on. Each house
was decorated to he background for tho
kind of food that was served at It, Baked
beans were served in Boston" and the girls
who served were dressed in caps and gowns
The houses were not far from each other
and the crowd walked between courses. Au-
tomobile trucks might be pressed into serv-
ice, however and would be lots Of fun
Many clubs and societies who have I'm the
past held benefits to make money are giving
them up this year on account Of the war
They are sending out frank little notices 10
their members telling Of this and asking
them to make a contribution to help make
up the deficit. This method Of raising money
has It's own appeal at this time.

The Time to MaTru

PHYSIOLOGY fixes with accuracy the
l. earliest period at which marriage Is ad-
missibe This period is that at which the
body attains complete development, which is
not before twenty in the female and twenty
four in the male, Even though the growth
may be completed before these ages ossi-
fication of the bones is not fully effected,
so that development is incomplete.
Among most modern nations the civil
laws fixing the earliest date of marriage
seem to have been made without any ref
erence to physiology, or with the mistaken
notion that puberty and nubilty are iden-
tical. II Is interesting to note the diff
ferent ages established by different nations
for entrance to the married state. The de-
generating Romans fixed the ages of legal
marriages at thirteen for females and ff-
teen for males. The Grecian legislator
Lycurgus placed the ages at seventeen for
the female, and thirty-seven for the male
Plato fixed the ages at twenty and thirty
years In Prussia, the respective ages are
fifteen and nineteen in Austria, sixteen and
twenty; in France sixteen and eighteen
respectively.
Says Mayer: I'm general, II may be es-
tablished that the normal epoch .or mar
riage is the twentieth year tor omen and
the twenty-fourth for men"

JAMES HUNEKER

published thirteen volumes dealing mostly
with criticism Of literature, music and
painting. His latest book bears the fan
tastic title of "Unicorns" and in it he dis
ports himself in the whimsically sane man
ner which has endeared him to thousands
Of discriminating readers these many years.
The volume contains thirty separate essay,
or articles or chapters in which he dis
cusses subjects as varied as Artzbashef and
style and rhythm in English prose, or
pillowland and four dimensional vistas,
We have no American critic who can
write with fuller knowledge or with more
pontifical authority on a wider range of
arts than this native Philadelphia. He
is familiar with the literature of the world,
the painting of two continents and the
music of all the masters His taste is so
catholic that he finds delight in all that is
delightful and he possesses the rare gift
of communicating to his readers some OF
his own pleasure in exploring the hinterland
Of all forms of artistic expression He is a
genial pagan, but one does not have to
accept all of his philosophy of life to get
pleasure from him. Indeed, he is most stim-

ulating when he is most pagan. No one can
profess familiarity with American critical
literature who Is ignorant of Huneker. It
Is equally true that those who are wont
to belittle the literary value Of the writing
in American newspapers have failed to ap-
preciate the quality of that wrting for the
great mass of Huneker's critical articles
first appeared I'm the daily press of New
York The fact that they were written
primarily for newspaper readers gives them
a vitality and an intimacy which is lacking
in the product of men who shut themselves
in their libraries and polish their sentences
til they have rubbed all the life out of
them Mr.. Huneker writes with the ease,
confidence and authority that Thaddeus
Rich manfests I'm bowling his violin in the
Philadelphia Orchestra. It is a pleasure
to read him, even when one disagrees with
his conclusions
II. L. MenCken, quoteG IN the first para
graph of this article, Is fast making a
reputation equal to that of Huneker He is
twenty years younger and he accepts much
Of the older mans philosophy and carries
II to greater extremes. One Of the most
interesting chapters in his Book of Pref
aces" is that dealing with Huneker. He
does not agree with Hunekers estimate of
many musicians, but differeuce of opinion
makes horse races, as Mark Twain said
as well as contributes to the delights of
intellectual communion. One Of Menclen's
heroes IS Theodore Dresser, whom he re-
CARDS as literary artist of the first rank
Dresser is great because he perceives what
James has called the immtigability of the
mortal predcament. There are those who
will not accept this as a proper standard for
measuring greatness. There must be GER

rs A woman immodest who writes love
i poem? As one looks over the body of
English literature the conclusion is forced
upon one that this question would have been
answered very differently by our ancestors
than by the critics Of the present generation.
The most famous and probably the most
beautiful series Of love poems In any Ian
guage was, written by woman in the mid
die of the last century. Yet she did not
own them and attempted TO hide her Identity
and her emotions by calling them "Sonnets
from the Portuguese" If Mrs Browning
were writing today she would not be
ashamed OF her emotions The breaking
down Of feminine reticence Is one Of the
most remarkable developments Of the
movement to free women from their ancient
bondage
One looks almost In vain for love poems
by women in the literature Of the eighteenth
century They can be counted on the fingers
VI one hand Sara Teasdales new anthology
of n hundred poems in which women have
told Of their own love includes but one
written before 1900. This one is by
susanna Blamlre, who died unmarried in
1872 at the age Of forty-seven. The Siller
Crown" however which the compiler
quotes is surpassed both in poetic beauty
and in emotional appeal by what Ais
This Heart o. Mine" of which Miss Blamire
was especially fond 1t begins with this
touching stanza:
What ails this heart o. mine?
What ais this waterv pC?
What gars me "A turn pale as death
when I take leave o. thee?
When thou art far ava,
Thoult dcarer grow to me;
But change o place and change o. folk
May gar thy fancy jec.
The great majority Of the poems in the
excellent collection were written within
the last twenty-five years, the period in
which women have begun 70 assert their
right TO self-eXpression. They put in words
the bitterness of disappointed affection, the
delight in the love Of n lover, the Joy at
the discovery that tho lover has been found
and all the other shades of emotion which
women experience when they enter upon
the Great Adventure of their lives. The lit
erature of the world is richer because the
women have at last found a voice and are
utterng the thoughts that have burned
within them. Many n happily married
woman will find her own heart respond TO

Soothing Words

| THIS morning when l got up my own
i clothes were dry, so I put them on and
and did not have TO play lady any more
with Alice's clothes. After Rowdy and I
had breakfast the doctor came in his auto
and went upstairs 70. see my burglar. lie
asked the burglar how he felt and he said
his leg ached something fierce. The doctor
said 1T is a very bad break and there is
danger that ! shall have to remove your
leg" The burglar got awful pale and I
said, What does that mean? That you
would have to cut his leg off?" The doctor
said, 81 am afraid So" I said. Nothing
doing. II you want to cut somebody's leg
off you can go and get you burglar OF
your own. What do you suppose | would
want of a one-legged burglar?" The doctor
said. "A one-eggcd burglar is safer to have
around than a two-legged one" But
made him promise not to cut off the bur
glars leg unless ! said he might.
After the doctor went away got Levy TO
take me to town. | sat on the edge of my
fathers bed and told him all about IT, He
hold my hands and told me am the real
thing and to go ahead. Then we went back
to Mr. RoclJrudders. After a while Rowdy
and I went up the road until we came to- a
shack, where there was an old colored
man and an old colored woman smoking
pipe. ! went and sat on their doorstep with
them a while and talked to them. They
were very polite and asked me 10 come
again, which did after 1t got good and
dark
when we got back 10 N1r Rocl,rudder's I
went up to see my burglar The nurse
said, 81 gave him "A hipo and he felt better
and went 70 sleep" ! said IF hipos make
him feel better give him lot of them"

ferent form:

Grace Fallow Norton in Love Is Ter

feminine nature when she writes:
Then TO the stars I told my tale;
THAT is my home-light there in tho vale
"And know that l shall return,
But let me lie first amidst the unteelins FERN
For there is a fame that has blown toe near.
And thero IS a name that has grown too DEAR
And TO the still Mills and the cool earth and the
far Rl<y made moan,
"Thc heart in my bosom is not my ownl
20 would were free as the wind on wing:
Love is q terrible thing"
In the same vein Is sarojnl Naidu's
Ecstasy" a poem that is a song that sings
itself without the need Of any musical ac-
compartment and that If set TO fitting
music would thrill an audience Of women
with most exquisite agony. IL runs:
Cover mine eyes. o my lave,
Mine eyes that weary Of bliss
As Of light that Is poiGnant and strong.
Oh silence my lips with kiss,
My lips that arc weary Of sons,
Shelter my soul, O my love!
My soul is bent low with the pain
And the burden Of love, like tho grace
OF flower that is smtten with rain
Oh, shelter my soul from thy face!
Sara Teasdale's collection throws a new
light on the way women can love. II will

tans none Of tho collectors own verse.
She IS a poet with genuine gifts, as those
who's have not already discovered will learn
If they read her little volume of Love

teuuerness and dellcacy and a beauty in
her poems that are unrivaed in any con-

how scores of women react TO love Her
