4 PROPHET OF BEAUTY
George O'Neirs First Volume
Reveals q Poet of
Rare Charm

No lover of poetry should overlook
THE Cobbler in Willow Street" the
first volume of verse by George O'Neil.
1t is one of the most promising collec-
tions of poetry which has appeared in
many year Mr.. O'Neil is only twenty
years old, but he has an appreciation
Of beauty and gift in versiication
which many older men lack. In the
few short years of his life the beauty
of the world has impressed itself upon
him and forced him to attempt to make
others see and feel as he feels and
sees. He sets forth his gospel in the
Introductory poem, the first two stanzas
of which run in this way:
cannot find the truth that men have
told
But only know the beauty of song
And nothing truer than the white sea-
foam
Feathering where the gold beach grass
Is long;
or truer than a high complacent pine
Pointed to stars upon a lifted hill;
Or any eloquence of harmony
Telling as much as when. wind falls
still
He writes of "such simple miracles
as song and spring" of yellow iris
wading at the edge of pool, of "the
slender fingers of an April rain" and
of unopened violets catching the hour S
first sunlight as a crown" He is fas-
cinated by the charm of things about
him. and he has that gift of language
which can convey to others some of the
emotions which stir in his breast If
he fulfills the promise of this volume
we shall in few years have an Amer
lean poet of whom we can be proud

SYMBOLISM of women's Clothes

Jcnnette Lee says the idea for her
new book, "The Raincoat Girl" origi :
mated from the problem of fashions and
women's clothes. ''I suddenly realized
one day." she writes her publishers.
"that. far from being trivial and
ephemeral. fashions and women's cloth
ing are vitally significant indces OF
deeper, social conditions. The thought
came to me as a kind of Sartor Resar
tus, turned other end to. The fashions
of the '60s, with their crinoline and
ringlets. were so thoroughly typical of
the spirit that spread itself in Fourth
of July oratory and the windy ideal :
ism of Brook Farm. Where fashions
change oftenest and with the most ap
parent caprice, discovered, there is
the fullest life. Fashions in the Rain
coat Town of my story change, OH. sc
slowly. From this idea the story
arose"

BY ROBERT UNDERWOOD
JOHNSON

Up near the sources of Pc
Where the lakes reflect the snow
And Italy's touching heaven,
There's little girl of seven,
A cara bella figlia,
With the tinklng name Of Ottilia:
Hair like the blue black night,
Ana a brown, pomegranate skin,
That war has failed to blight.
She lives in little alley
OF stone, near the big casino,
And against her gown OF marino,
Sewed up like the good Bombino.
She carries a rare delight
The only doll in the valley.
What matter the numberless cracks
In it's little noddle of wax,
Or that one eye from its socket
Lies in Ottilia's pocket?-
That kisses have worn the paint
Till the red of the lips is faint?
For this is the children's saint
And all the girls in Bezzecca
Flock to Ottilia's alley
AS the Moslems flock to Mecca.
And she with a heart of gold
Lends them the doll to hold;
And, of all the wistful eyes,
Which speak of the greater lack
Or hers who gives it back:
Oh, yes, they have other needs,
Those patient waits OF war
Victims Of noble deeds
In regions near OF far
Done by their gallant sires.
Long worn at Freedoms fores:
Milk?- they've forgot its look.
Shoes?- but the clogs are strong.
Coal?- all, there's little TO cook.
And the winter nights are long.
so when the peasants appear
In search of some common cheer
At the scanty market rally
OF the Val de Ledro drear.
What pleasure for the girls
To be for an hour beguiled
BY the cheeks and the flaAen curls
OF Ottilia's foster-child-
The only doll in the valley.
III
Chilrden, rich with the spoil
OF many a Christmas gene,
Who know neither hunger nor toll
And revel in lace and lawn:
Girls of American think
OF the debt that your country owes
To the little dark daughters OF thos6
Who fought fer US and fell
On the frozen mountain brink,
Or the hot Venetian plain
In the homesick sound of the vespel
bell.
Their loss your children's children's
gain,
From the corner where you keep
Your Graded pets asleep,
Give, for the friends OF Ottilia.

And if. on The ocean il misses
The warmth Of your bedtime kisses

cattlemen and farmers are for regu-

his own measure, or the Kenyon bill,
both Of which are under considera-
ton by the senate agriculture COM

Colorado and Wyoming have en-.
dorsed it, and conventions Of farm.

try are adopting resolutions favoring
the bills"
Kendrick said no effort is being
made to induce those friendly to the
