An Early Reflected Light.

GATES OF PARADISE and Other Poems.
By Edwin Markham. New York:
Doubleday. Page & Co
When a poet has set up a monu-
ment as majestic as Edwin Mark
hams THE Man with the Hoe" he
is at a disadvantage, because the
world is always on the tiptoe of
expectancy that he will do some-
thing else as great.
Markham does not reach the same
height in his newest book. the title
place being given to two stanzas
under the line, Gates of Paradise"
He does not reach it in any poem,
and some critics say it has not been
reached in American letters.
But taken out of the shadow Of
their massive companion, the verses
in Gates of Paradise and other
Poems" stand up as excellent verse,
much of it real poetry, and set with
a few exquisite gems. The book
would be worth while for this one
quatrain:
l. UT All your udyS prepare,
And meet them ever alike:
When you are the anvil. bear
. When you are the hammer, strike"
The book is divided into sections
under the characteristic titles:
Van Couriers," AT My Lady's
window" wings for the spirit.-
Deeper Chords" "Finger-Posts
for the Highway" Echoes
From the World War" Memorable
Men," Songs of the Supernal
Woman" Rather a scattered range
of subjects; but they are gathered
from the work of the kindly old
Thinker of Staten Island over a
long period of years IN which many
people. great and small. and events
glad and serious, have passed be-
fore his kindly eyes. Summarizing
in his opening quatrain, Markham
says:
Here are my songs. o child. o sage:
Come. bring your heart and let
me win II.
You'll find my heart on every page:
The book is yours with the
heart that's in it,"
The longer poems are OF fine
feeling and with many exquisite fg-
urcs and expressions. although al
ways leaving the reader sense OF
lack in the gap between them and
the masterpiece. They tend much
to the descriptive and reminiscent
the former finding it's best express
sion in THE Christ OF the Andes"
on the statue OF. the Savior erected
to mark peace between Chile and
Argentina.
One group OF poems on Echoes
From the World War" is prefaced
by an explanatory note prpnounc ing
the writer man OF peace and
declaring war in general to be one
OF tho huge madnesses OF men.
Nevertheless, in a world ruled by
self-interest, II lis necessary some
times-in hours OF supreme crisis
for n nation to rise full-armed in
defense OF her existence and the
existence OF human rights"
In the group devoted to memor-
ablo men tribute is paid to Father
\ McGlynn. william Winter, Charles
Dickens. and Alexander Graham
Bell.

smiled and bowed. Soon the hing
entered on the noor. escorted by the
speaker and followed by his suite
all in their handsome regalia- In
his fine, brief speech of welcome
Mr.. Gillett described him, very
aptly. as the ''kingliest OF men and
manifest of kings" His Majesty
made a splendid appearance as he
stood there in uniform on the plat.
form. so tall and good-looking and
blond. His address was In English

Flemish an accent-and was re-
ceived with an astonfshing mount
OF enthusiasm for a Democratic
house.
After the speeches the Congress.
men were invited to shake hands
with His Majesty. and they gath
cred about him higgledy-piggledy
with their children in tow. One OF
the Belgians told me that the Sen
ate reception was more dignined,
and that no such scene as we wit
messed could have happened In the
chamber of Deputies in any other
country. But I remember, rather
consolingly. having seen both the
French and Belgian chambers at
times, the men jumping up In their
seats. waving their arms, and shout
ing wildly.
There was a great crowd outside
the Capitol waiting to see the King
and his encourage. AS they came
down the long flight OF steps. he
made such a conspicuous target that
! could not help thinking how easy
il would have been for an anarchist
to take shot al him. This was,
of course. only one of many such ac-
casions. and it showed. to my mind.
what an extraordinarily brave man
he is. for IL must take more cour-
age to face a crowd like that. in
these unsteeled days. than to be
under fire in trench. Later, though
when / put that question to the
Prince OF Wales. who had encoun-
tered both perils many times, he
disagreed with me. At the front.
he said, he had expected to be killed
at any moment. but in throng he
never thought OF danger.

many fingers in the Royal pie, the

in Vogue
BY Rita Stuyvesant.

-SHE possibilities of gingham for
creating the daintiest, most
L charming Of youthful summer
frocks are unlimited, as we are be-
ginning to know from the delight
full gowns shown for morning wear
The revival of the gingham gown
to it's quantity modern style Is one
of the true inspiration of the sea-
son, and although there have been
gingham gowns worn since hoop-
skirts were in vogue. not in many
summers has this homely material
been fashioned so cleverly. Ruitled'
tucked, organdy-trimme according
to the occasion does the gingham
grace Miladys figure becominSly
and thus portray its old-time charm
to advantage.
When the little brunette chooses
red and white checked gingham,
indeed, she chooses wisely ana
when she adds red and white rick
rack braid, what more could one
ask for quaint simplicity?
A little frock of this kind was
recently included in a "deb's sum-
mer wardrobe and was pronounced
quite a success. 1t fashioned It's
bodice with the popular kimono
sleeves cut off before they reached
her dimpled elbows and finished
with tiny urnback cuffs. Ihe
square neck was also provided with
a collar of self-material and then
outlined with the pretty rick-rack
braid.
Although the skirt was brief as
ALL fashionable skirts should be, II
COMPROMISED fully in the width OF
the skirt. Then 1T patched Dig
nockets to the front and tied
broad sash cut on the bias about
the waist The sash ends formed a
huge bow at the back that lent
considerable charm to this dainty
frock.
This lovely dress might also be
developed in green ana "hiIe
checked gingham, as well as laNen-
der. rose, Dutch blue and PINK. An
other pretty suggestion Is 10 nave
an extra set OF square collar ana
cuffs cut from fine white orgahoy
to form a crisp change. 100
Surplice models are still seen
and are unusually becoming to the
full figure. These pious frocks
cross themselves at the breast and
nnish behind with quite a large and
frivolous bow OF the material with
the surplice blouse one wears a
pleated frill of organdie or dotted
batiste.
Another summery little creation
that is fascinating for warm days
at the shore or mountains de-
scribes its loveliness through the
medium of green plaid gingham
and plain green linen. II shows a
deep oval neck with roll collar OF
the linen and short gauntlet cuffs
OF the same.
The skirt. although rather scant,
covers itself by side tunics OF the
gingham set on at the hips. deep
cuff hem of the linen borders the
tunics, and then as a final note
adds a prim row of novelty green
buttons down the back. Thus is
the homely gingham elevated TO a
prominent place in the summer
wardrobe.
