By JOEL AMES.

Thomas Hardy. who celebrated
his SOth birthday Wednesday, re-
ceiving the tributes of writer's and
statesmen the world over, stands as
q fiesh-and- blood embodiment of the
principle of mo compromise" The
eminent English novelist, whose
Tess of the D'Urbervilles." The
Mayor of Casterbridge," and the
rest of the long succession of titles,
have made him regarded as liv-
ing classic, has always lived a life
of seclusion, has ruthlessly put into
his novels the elements that from
time immemorial have killed off the
popular" reader. and today. at the
height of his artistic recognition
and material success, is one of the
least understood men in all Eng
land.
Few men have had more triumphs
in the space of a lifetime than this
English writer can look back upon
at the age of so.
He presented the manuscript of
"Tess of the D'Urbervilles" and The
Dynasts" to the British Museum. af-

tribute from royalty.
Thomas Hardy was born in a lit
tie village in Dorsetshire - in the
countryside that has been the scene
of most Of his novels. 1t was az
the age of 80 that he wrote his
first desperate Remedies" At the
urgency of his wife, a charming
young country girl, he then aban-
doned architecture entirely to go in
for writing.
The next book, Under the Green
wool Tree" in a two-shilling paper
cover edition, accidentally made his
fortune. A copy of 1t at an out-of-
the-way railway stall. caught the
eye of the editor Of the Cornhill
Magazine-a Mr.. Greenwood, by the
way. He had no sooner finished
reading II than he wrote to Hardy.

sugar, and once more they went
back to the woods.
After a while they came to a nice
little shady nook and dinghy dell,
with green grass growing all around
and a little brook making tinkly
music among the trees.
This seems to be a good place to
look for berries said Uncle Wig
gily. You hunt for them, Arabella,
while 1 sit down and rest my rheu-
matism."
IAN right" spoke Arabella, so she
began poking in among the leaves
with her bill, and scratching with
her claws, while Uncle Wiggily sat
down on soft, green, mossy log to
rest.
All of sudden, when Uncle Wig
gily had almost fallen asleep, he
beard Arabella call:
oh, Uncle Wiggily! Uncle Wig
gily! Come here quickly! Look
how funny these berries are actingr'
Have you found some berries ?'
asked the bunny. as he hoped up
and over the grass to where Ara
bella stood
Yes. I've found some, but I can't
pick them" the little hen girl an
swered. They jump and skip so.

"They Are Wild Berries.-
Uncle Wiggily looked. and. sure
ly enough. he saw Arabella try to
pick nice red berry in her bin.
The berry Tipped itself out of the
way.
Let ne try to pick some" said
the bunny. But when Uncle Wig
gily reached oIt his paw to pick
some of the red berries they jumped
right out of his way.
What makes them do that?"
asked Arabella, as the berries leaped
here and there on the vines.
Uncle WiggIly looked carefully
through his glasses. Then he
laughed.
"Ha! Ha!" exclaimed the bunny.
Il see! These are wild strawber-
ries! They arc not used to being
picked. They are so wild they are
leaping and jumping about. But
] can easily tame them. Watch

Then he sprinkled some of
Nurse James powdered sugar on the
wild Strawberries and all of a sud-
den the berries grew nice and tam,.
and did not flop around any more;
so Arabella picked as many as she
liked. The powdered sugar made
them all the better and sweeter.
Sc the bunny gentleman had an
adventure, after all. Ard if the
little dog doesn't waggle his tail at
the cat, and make her think it's

tury courtships is necessary to re-
lieve the prosaic side of an Amer
ican woman's life. While 1 do not
advise any girl to go outside the
limits of propriety or to disregard
the wishes of her PARENTS, there is
no doubt but that the hale of a
romance hangs over married life
long after unions which start un-
der less sensational circumstances
grow rather dull and tiresome.
''Of course sCne of our romantic
weddings during the past few years
have turned out very badly. In
some cases they started on the spur
of the moment and the couple real
ly did not hrve a chance to get ac-
quainted before they were married.
THAT weddings arranged on n
business basis without romance
often turn out badly is shown by
scme of the matches made in Eu-
ropean royal circles. Or. the other
hand, / lived in Spain when King
Alphonso was courting the girl who
now is Queen of Spain 1t was a
pure love match. The young King
broke a precedent in Europe whch
he went out of his way to win the
love of a mail who had attracted
his fancy rather than to allow a
wife to be secured for him through
diplomatic. channels. do not believe
there ever has been a happier royal
marriage than this.
Fewer Mistakes Made.
'I am glad to see American fam
lilies getting away from the Euro
pean custom of marriage by ar
rangement. The new freedom al
lowed W omen enables them to take
care IF their own happiness. with
the result that fewer serious mis-
takes are made.
I'VE don't see the romance devel-
oping all around us because, 1t is so
common. The novelists of the fu-
ture will see 1t and appreciate it.
i, myself, am writing a novel about
the experiences of my father in the
South before the war. l find many
excellent themes, yet I do not sup
pose he would have recognized them
as romantic when they happened.
TT is a pleasure to see fewer
American girls marry European no.
blemen and carry fortunes out of
this country. Although some of
these weddings have turned out very
happily, 1 happen to know there
were some rather sordid circum-
stances back of some OF them. In
Austria, before the war, i found
there was a pool organized for the
single purpose of tipping off i'm
poverisred nobIemen to itch Ameri-
can girls anxious for title.
The marriage for convenience is
hi
try. Some time ago a young woman
friend of mine married a man picked
out by her father whom she had
never met until he was introduced
as her prospective husband. The
match has come out very well but
it was a great risk. The girl was
Indifferent and willing to grasp at
anything that offered her a chance
of happiness. 1 would hate to see
any of my family do anything like
that, however"
The Washington herald., 1920-06-06

They understood why woman
would want to walk-for the joy of
It, Even from way back in the
gardens they would wave their
hands"
Many startling discoveries were
made by Miss Hill.
All the way she found many
small hotels closed, probably due TO
prohibition. she says.
One town never had heard a fac
tory whistle. never heard a train
whistle. and never had a street
car-Bustleton. Pa.
And the prettiest little city? at
is Rutland. VT" says she.
The incest people 1 met were
the postmen and railroad men,"
continued Miss Hill. They were
my special friends"
One of the oldest things in her
view-she didn't meet single
tramp.
