STRENUOUS LoVEMAKING
Duke William Tanned Matilda, and
She Got Square on Brihtric

A modern lover who resorted to
brute force to win his lady would
soon find himself in the street, If not
in the police station. But fashions
in proposals have changed in a
thousand years, and when William
the Conqueror set out to make Ma
tilda, daughter of the Count of
Flanders, the happiest of maidens
he adopted measures that were forci-
bic, to say the least. The New York
Sun tells the story of his tempest
uous wooing:
The suitor Matilda had she did
not want, and the man she wished
to WOO her She could not get. The
man she did not want happened to
be William, duke of Normandy, and
he decided to go to Bruges and con-
quer Matilda.
There We're no national roads
through France in those days, and
William doubtless had a hard trip.
Perhaps Matilda noticed the mud on
his clothes when she came out of
church and found him waiting for
her.
At any rate, William descended
from his horse, and taking Matilda
firmly by the back of the neck, rolled
her over and over in the mire OF
Bruges, planting well directed blows
upon her royal face and body with
his other hand. Life was elemental
thousand years ago.
This strenuous lovemaking some
how appealed to Matilda. Perhaps
it was what she would have liked to
do to Brihtric, the gentleman she
could not get, who was only the
English ambassador at her fathers
court and not at all proper person
to be snubbing a princess. So Ma
tilda sent word to her father that
'sick in health and dolorous in
body" she had firmly resolved to
marry no man but Duke William.
Later, after William had con-
quered England, he offered his queen
the estates of any English nobleman
she might name. Matilda did not
have to think twice. She not only
chose Brihtric's estates, but she put
him in prison and kept him there all
the rest of his life-an excellent ar
gument for the wise custom of re-
stricting woman's choice to one year
in four.

NATURAL TO PAIR FOR LIFE
Majority of Men and Women Require
warmth of COmpaniOnship

Warmth of COmpaniOnship
There is something unhealthy and
when they have reached an age and
a condition such that their impulses
would lead them to marry. w. Ia
George writes in Harper's. The hu-
man tendency is to live in counples,
there are a few rare people of strong
individuality who find all they need
within themselves, who, like Narcis-
sus. can give a pure worship to their
own image. but they are few and
nearly all men and women need the
warmth of companionship.
Now companionship is a peculiar
thing, generally not found in families
One can love ones sisters and ones
brothers, but it is sometimes very diff
ficult; one can love ones father and
ones mother. but as one grows older
this becomes almost impossible If one
has to live with them. This because
they are imposed upon one by the ac-
cident of birth; because one knows
too much about them from long asso-
ciation, so that they cease to interest;
because one knows too little about
them, never having been quite frank
in the presence of those common mas
ters, the father and the mother, to
whom private lives could be revealed.
Brothers and sisters form q COM
pulsory grouping, and that is nearly
always detestable. Likewise, the as
sociation between parents and chill
dren is exquisite when the child is
young and the parent venerable
only, when one is vigorous and 80. one
does not venerate the people of 60,
who have often lost their brightest
faculties. A parent does not protect
when he is go, because he cannot, be-
cause he is more likely to want pro-
lection himself. The relation between
parents and children grows absurd
when the children turn into men and
women. Tt subsists on auld lang syne,
on liberation tinged with impatience.

ENJOY STORIES
BY MISSBOOKER
Women's Cub of Middletown
Invites Organizer of Local
Story League to Speak

Miss Lois K. Booker, of this city,
first president of the Story Tellers
League, spoke before the Woman's
Club. of Middletown. Saturday aft
ernoon. on ideals in Story Telling
and the Universally of the Fairy
Belief and the Fairy Tale"
The speaker cited Jesus of Naza-
reth as the supreme story teller of
the ages. through his own Divinity.
His divine message and pure SIM
plicity of narrative as found in THE
Parallels" She said that Socrates
in Plato's Republic, has bequeathed
to all story tellers the Greek ideal
of story telling. which like a piece of
sculpture done by Phidias is un-
equaled in nobility and refinement of
conception. Socrates believed in only
those stories that give the youth the
highest ideals cd divinity, purity,
courage honor and Justice. The
story teller should never initiate, but
merely narrate madness of animals,
the elements of nature and evil
! qualities of character. He should
keep nearly all the time to the same
simplicity and rythm and within the
limits of a single harmony"
Among the illustrative stories Miss
Booker told was the quaint fairy tale
of Thomas of Ercildonne, a lord of
Scotland in the time Of Alexander
IL, as recorded by Sir Walter Scott.
The audience was delightfully."- re-
sponSive, enthusiastic and SYM
pathetic and Miss Booker was given
vote of thanks for her inspiring
talk at the close of the meeting.

dence of Mrs. S. Cameron Young,

After being picked up by a disabled
