Parlor PHILOSOPHERS

THERE is something about "Reedy's
Mirror" Yes, there is emphat-
ically something about it. . .
There is something irresistible, some
thing so singing, refreshing, original,
that the scissors of the searching review
err lure him, almost forcibly, on to over
lengthy quotation. Well, let this stand
for encomium and apologize combined.
Now here is certain "Alliteraricus,"
with his "Reactions of a Reader" He is
doing series just now. That at hand is
No. a, and devoted to the "Parlor Phi
losophies." First he asks: care parlor
PHILOSOPHERS disturbed by great wars?"
And then he is off:
"The elect will and doubtless do argue
the point from both angles. But does not
this merely promote philosophy, particularly
parlor philosophy, more potently than it
does war? Do I hear the mere listener
sub-vocally assent?
"These PHILOSOPHERS they pass, pass
professionally through those parlors where
the illuminate most do congregate-what
intriguing etudes des moeurs they present,
to borrow a figure from Balzac! You
osophical speculations in his Louis Lam
bert which, composed largely of pages
from his autobiography, as document is
so engrossing to those Bazacians who have
awakened to the fact that the man and
his life are the most interesting portions
Of the Comedie Humane. Balzac's phi
losophy was for the most part thoroughly
la kant-that is to say priori and in
tuitional. 1t was emanation of feeling
not so much clarified as intensified by
thought but not superimposed upon any
basis of profound study Or immense knowl-
edge. But that does not lessen its fas-
cinaton, despite the fact that the profess
sional philosophers and their echoes have
derided it,
Meanwhile we have gone a long way
since in parlor philosophy--for Balzac's
philosophy was of the genus, and I have
always derived pleasure from the evoca-
tion of the fat figure with the sparkling
eyes and jagged teeth, balancing itself up
on delicate Louis Seize fauteuil and ex-
pounding it, say, to Nine. la Duchesse de
Castrles, with occasional flourishes of the
famous cane. But think of the dry wells
whence Balzac was obliged to draw his
phllosophic ideas! OF all those ancients of
the schools, those rigid and forbiddng
doctors whose mouldy straw and splintered
1agsots had so long constituted the body of
doctrine whence everything must be de-
rived And then think of 'Prngmatism'
and Creative EvolutionI

Righteous Wrath

HERE are many kinds of hate, as
many kinds of fire;
And some are fierce and fatal with mur-
derous desire;
And some are mean and craven. re-
vengeful, selfish, slow,
They hurt the man that holds then,
more than they hurt his foe.
And yet there is hatred that purifes
the heart,
The anger of the better against the
baser part,
Against the false and wicked, against
the tyrant's sword,
Against the enemies of love, and all
that hate the Lord.
0 cleansing indignation, o flame of
righteous wrath,
Give me soul to see thee and follow
in thy path.
Save me from selfish virtue, arm me for
fearless fight,
And give me strength to carry on. a
soldier of the Right!
Henry van Dyke, in Tho Outlook.

son. When she finds that her elder son
has been murdered by the Germans she
quite logically declares war the spot
The men take somewhat more impersonal
view of things; but as soon as the war is
actually upon them the boy buckles on his
sword.
'In the conventional FreAch manner, tho
play is very ably written-full of tense,
eloquent dialogue and of scenes skilfuIly
built to the climax"
A s for the manner in which this
piece was presented, critics differ
pretty widely. Most of them feel that
Mrs. Fiske, in the role of the French
mother, was badly cast. Special stress
was laid upon obscure diction. 'The
Evening World" praised the quiet man.
ner in which she Showed her head to the
meaning of the play as expressed in it's
title" Hers was never the most ar
resting part. There was never "a
chance to appear in a glare of glory"
And so "she could only be simple and
human"
A number Of the critics hailed the
French actor, Georges Plateau, who i'm
personated the pacihst son, as a real
"fnd." Plateau served with the French
army, was invalided out Of service af-
ter the battle of Verdun, and has but
recently learned English. All these
things, added to his histrionic gifts, made
him an interesting figure. In the direct
language Of Alan Dale, writing in "The
American" he s'made distinct hit"
proclaiming that the play, "if it be-
longed to anybody, belonged to man."
Lee Baker was generally pronounced
very effective figure as the father.
The two-act Lavedan play was pre-
ceded by Lord Dunsany's blood-curdling
thriller, "a Night in an Inn," seen a
couple of seasons ago down in Grand
Street, where it was so effectively
staged by the Neighborhood Players. AS
upon all the other points of the present
dual entertainment, so with regard to
the performance of this little piece the
critics are sharply divided. Some call
it fine bit Of work, others complain
ing that the thrill Of the Grand Street
presentation is lacking. The achieve
ment of the dramatist himself is equal
ly debated
Thus conflict of opinion covers the
entire evening. 1t seems to be one Of
those occasions when the playgoer him
self must see and Judge.

Oxford in War Time

w 7HAT alters you, familiar lawn
Arched alley, and garden
green to the gray wall
With crumbling crevice and the old
wine-red flower,
Solitary in summer sun? for all
Is like a dream: tread on dreams! No
stir
Of footsteps, voices, laughter! Even
the chime
Of many-memoried bells is lonelier
In this neglected ghostliness of Time.
What separation, what remoteness numb
Absents you? Yet my heart springs
up to adore
The shrining of your soul, that is be-
Nearer and oh, far dearer than before,
1t is as if looked on the still face
OF Mother, musing where she sits
alone
She is with her sons, she is not in this
place.
She is gone out into far lands un-
known.
Because that filled horizon occupies
Her heart with mute prayer and di-
vining fear,
Therefore her hands so calm lie, and
her eyes
See nothing; and men wonder at her
But far in France; on the torn Flanders
plain;
BY Sinai; in the Macedonian SHOWS,
The f1y-plagued sands of Tigris. heat
and rain;
On wandering water, where the black
squall blows
Less danger than the bright wave am
bushes,
She bears it out. All the day long
she shares
And the sudden hour of instant chal-
lenges
To act, that searches all men. no man
She is with her sons, leaving a virtue

harmony of the entire scheme. The needs
Of the people living in the houses have been
closely consulted and met. The stereo-
typed checkerboard gridiron plan has
been avoided, natural contours have been
followed, natural beauty preserved, and a
real garden village developed, with it's
curved streets, it's narrow roads, discour-
aging heavy traffic, it's irregular shaped
blocks varied in outline, its community CEN
ire and its group of public and sem-pub-
lie buildings along its main thoroughfare."
Plans are in the hands of George B.

planners.

~ Current War Poetry ~

Out Of her sacred places; what she
bred
Lives other life than this, that sits
alone,
Though still in dream starrily visited
For O in youth she lives, not in her age.
Her soul is with the springtime and
the young;
And she apsents her from the learned
page,
Studious of high histories yet unsung,
More passionately priced than wisdom's
book
Because her own. Her faith is in
those eyes
That clear into the cape of hell can look,
Putting to proof ancient PHILOSOPHERS
Such as the virgin MUSES. would rehearse
Beside the silvery, swallow-haunted
stream,
Under the gray towers. But immortal
verse
Is now exchanged for its immortal
theme
Victory; proud loss; and the enduring
mind;
Youth, that has passed all praises, and
has won
More than renown, being that which
faith OWNED,
Reality more radiant than the sun.
She gave, she gives, more than all an
chored days
Of dedicated lore, of storied art;
And she resigns her beauty to mems
gaze
To mask the riches of her bleeding
heart.

Lawrence WELLER, writing in "The Ar

"This development is one which marks
real progress in the housing of Americas
working people While it cannot compare
in beauty with the best developments of
England, it gives promise of being one Of
the most artistic and attractive thus far
evolved in this country. In the planning of
the houses it possesses unusual merit
The houses have been produced at a
price we'll within the purchasing power of
the workingmen for whom they are in

charm and style. Great skill and ingenuity
have been shown in producing many varic-
ties of various types, thus avoiding monot-
