such time Lovers never have been famed for their use of everyday common
 sense. They live in world apart, where that plain, homely attribute Is unknown. It is their relations who have to practice
 common sense. and their sensible sug-
 gestions often jar the happy pair, who
 cannot believe that any one else has
 experienced quite the same adventure.
 Those who appear to lack common
 sense for a time are not really to be
 pitied. It will return to them later,
 and we know by experience that others
 who appear to be entirely lacking in
 practical ways are usually looked after
 by sensible people, who consider that they were provided for that purpose-as probably they were. Great and gifted
 men are generally dependent upon less highly endowed mortals-usually their wives-for the comforts they enjoy when they temporarily descend from Olympus
 H ad they only possessed common sense it is not likely that they would have
 reached such heights.
 And their wives? Does their common sense. and what is better, their probable sense of humor. carry them through? It Carlyle's wife, whose letters shed many | sidelights upon her illustrious husband, although she was always loyal to him. I recall some lines printed in maga- zine 8 number of years ago entitled "To | Mrs. Carlyle" one stanza of which was as follows:
 Won't you own, dear, just between us l That this living with a genius | Isn't after all, so pleasant--is it, Jeannie Welsh Cariyle?

 It was Mark Twain, believe. who said that person with new idea was called "crank' by others until he succeeded in his venture, and then he was spoken or as a genius All men who were born, or who have become, geniuses were lackins' I suppose, in common sense. No one ex- poets that ordinary virtue in a. genius; he wouldn't be a genius if he had 1t, so most of us think and we wrap cloak of protective pity around such people, and make excuses for their inability to follow the ways of the everyday world.
 For it is in the everyday world that we most need that uncommon possession common sense Sometimes it may be
 just another name for self-control, or for quick-wittedness. How many times have we been stopped, when tempted to scold, or to argue with another, by the interference of our common sense, Wnfcn' coming to our aid, has told us that we must be more charitable, must consider differences of character, as well as olI- ferences of opinion!
 There are times, however, when things happen which seem to prove that no common sense can be possessed by cer- tain individuals, and we wonder In such cases what fills the void.
 I recall something I heard from l friend of mine the other day-a wornan of splendid ability who knows

 "l remember" the woman was saying, that once upon time we had a maid who had so little common sense that she kept us wondering what on the face of the earth she was going to do next
 When she first came to me-" she con tinued. T showed her, among other things, how to set the table, and told her that when everything was in readiness for a meal, she could summon the family by striking upon a Japanese gong hang ing in the dining room. In order that she might understand struck it myself to show how it was done.
 She appeared to understand, but later. when it was time for dinner, we were startled by loud and continuous ring ing of the front door bell. I hurried downstairs, wondering what had hap pened to Mary that she did not go to the door, On opening the door myself l dis covered Mary on the porch in the act or pl essing the electric button again.
 ".What are you doing? l inquired, as calmly as A could.

Somebody has arisen (and I call his name blessed) to remark that Common sense is a most uncommon possession, ' and I feel sure that few will dissent from the statement, since usually most
 of us will agree that almost any person not present at a little gathering who may happen to be under discussion lacks
 this desirable quality.
 Just stop and think for minute. How
 many do you know who have one single grain of common sense?"
 Of course, we have our own htue
 "puffed-up'' vanity which makes us think that anyone who disagress with us on any subject is lacking in what we term common sense" We even go so far as to chide our family, saying, when
 we get into arguments:
 Now, just stop and use little com
 mon sense," which may mean in other | words:
 why don't you think as I do?" But aside from our arrogance in thlnk- | ing that we are the exception to the rue | and hold all the good common sense | in the world in the palm of our hand' how many people do you number in your acouaintance list whom you regard as having good, sound, practical, common or garden variety of sense?

KATHLEEN


 By Christopher Morley. Doubleday,
 Page 6 Co.,, publishers. Garden City
 N Y.
 Much in the way of improbability may be gorgiven the writer of frankly farci- cal fiction but Mir. Morley has gone too far in "Kathleen" If he wants readers to believe that people could really act as his characters do, he should have laid his scene on Mars and not in England. Possibly he might have justified the'r impossible methods by making them and their actions funner. As it Is, "kath- leen" is forced from beginning to end. The unblushing deeds of the "Scor- pions," a group of Oxford undergrad uates intent on perpetrating practical joke that would have brought them so- cial ostracism in real life and probably black eye apiece. are surpassed in in- probability only by the way the victims take the hoax. Such people as Kath- Ieen, her father and their domestics may exist in real life-and Mir. Morley s method is not farcical enough to make one think that he is not trying to draw his characters from real life-but, If they do, the average person never runs across one of their prototypes in the course of his or her residence on this earth. , Kathleen is a warning to all writer who ignore the fact that there are diff faculties even in the construction of a trifle designed for an hours entertain ment. MT. Morley has provided fifteen minutes of entertainment and three quarters of an hour of mild exasperation To cap all his improbabilities. he makes his heroine an English girl and gives her thin, neatly turned ankle.

Sometimes the explosion isn't very big, because there's little to explode; other times it's bigger according to the sense you possess yourself
 John Oxenham, who wrote so much fine poetry during the war, also wrote some mighty good Common sense" Qf there is such thing, and on the subject of Common Sense" he penned the forego- ing verse, thus disposing of the subject at one fell blow.
 I love the first three lines of the poem"
 God grant you,
 In the common ways of life,
 Good common sense."
 What is "common sense," anyway? Or uncommon sense,i as the case may be?
 Isn't it, after all, just good sense, the application of good humor, and good req soning, and a sane attitude toward the affairs of life?
 have always said that the person who was born with good Common sense" was the luckiest person alive, for you may have all the book larnin'" as the dar- kies say, and all the high-falutin' fool ideas about 'high-brow' stuff in the world, and all that, and yet if you haven't a grain of common sense" what good does it do you?
 Yea, tho l talk with the tongues oi the learned, and tho I possess the WIS dom of Solomon and the beauty of Venus, and the cunning of Becky Sharpe, the .yamp' qualities of Cleopatra, and have not common sense to use them, what profieth it a woman?'
 l adore the man who was describing the girl, and in his inimitably clever way suggested her lack of "common sense" when he said:
 She has all the component parts or a peach, but doesn't know how to make a showing.

THIS FRIEND AND HIS WIFE" tBy Cosmo Hamilton. Illustrations by Robert w. Stewart. Little, Brown and Company Publishers, Boston. His Friend and His Wife" by Cos mo Hamilton Is the story of the effects upon the pleasure loving folk of the wealthy Quaker Hill colony in Con- necticut which followed an infraction of the social code by Julian Osborn and Margaret Meredith. The lawyer Hicks cleared Margarets name at the ex- pense of a girl named Mary Miller. Margarets husband, believing her 1n- nocence, was reconciled to her. So, too, Julian's wife forgave him. But the ball started rolling. Wealthy Mir. Mahan was about to consent to the engage ment of his stepdaughter Elsa to Gil- bert Carlton, when he received an an onymous letter accusing Carlton ana Mary Miller. Thereupon Mahan sought i out Mary Miller and was told by her 1 that she had really saved Margaret by ] lying in her behalf in payment for Kind nesses Margaret had previously done lher And the ball kept rolling till near 1 ly every dweller in this fashionable | society settlement was enmeshed in web that threatened destruction to every one of them. MT. Hamilton has written a novel ptcturing with light
 ming viyidness and tremendous power l can life. the underlying basic theme being that no unrighteous act against | the established social code can be com : l mitted without the price being paid as dearly by the innocent as by the 1 guilty.

 Of The Sorrows of Noma," and its merits, the various critics have hSd much to say and among the most im- portant opinions expressed, the fol- lowing are appened giving the prospec- tive reader of the book an idea of how well 1t stands and what praise it has elfcited:
 T have read the story "Ahabat Zion" with increasing and enduring inter est, which Mir. Marymont presents un- der the name of "The Sorrows of Noma-" l This story which has brought to Abraham Mapu enduring fame, to those who learned enough to read the orfgi- | nal Hebrew text--to those less for 1 tunate, Mir. Marymont has placed under an abiding obligation, for In raking | over the ashes of the past, he has | famed into living flame the bedded l embers of human passion of by 1 gone day. and giving us a classic that | will rank with the most finished pro- | ducts of the masters of fiction of ev- cry race and of every age.
 MT. Marymont has done for Abraham Mapu what Jeremiah Curtis accom- 1 plished for Henry Sienkiewicz, and it is no light task to adequately convey to the mind of the reader the colors that glow on the mental eye of the great originaf'-WilIiam J. Dawson l literary critic.
 'I have had the extreme pleasure of | reading the manuscript at Abraham 1 Mapu's "Ahabat Zion," as translated by MT. Joseph Marymont of our city l under the title of The Sorrows l of Noma." The translation of this 1 colossal work has been meagerly at- | tempted by numerous scholars of the past half century. but not until read I ing Mir. Nirymonts interpretation ot this great work have I fully appre- l ciated the grandeur and literary value of "AhabAt Zion"
 I feel certain that students of Hebrew l of all creeds will welcome this magni- ficent work into their libraries. MT Marymont is deserving of the deepest | appreciation of students everywhere for, this gift to literature on his l eightieth birthday"

 There are times when plain common sense seems to be the only thing we have to fall back upon, and what help it is in our everyday emergencies Most of our minor worries may be set tied comfortably by a good application of common sense, and even. big ones are helped If we still have sense to see what we can do to make things better. Some lines from a song in Gilbert ana Sullivan's opera of "Iolanthe" come pack to me here;
 On fire that burns with heat intense I play the hose of common sense, And out it goes at small expense.
 The fire referred to was that Of en unrequited love, passion upon which the hose of common sense is the wisest thing to turn; but how few realize It's helpfulness or think of common sense at
