good" None-Nicer," "Want-mor, .
"See-nO-Farther' and "Eat-More"

Boone" Broadway Beauty" 1.-The
American Beauty" Columbia High
Class, and "Superba."

"a Cavalier Maid.7

Romance and high adventure in the
days of the Roundhead and Cavalier
are the subject of the latest semi-his-
torical novel by E. E. and A. A. Knipe,
"A Cavalier Maid.
Georgiana, of wealth and noble
birth, undergoes hardship and many
perils in her struggle against the ex-
ploitation of her money by the un-
scruploup servants of Charles the
First. She is shanghaied aboard a
Puritan ship bound for the Colonies
and left on the lonely New England
coast to care for two stricken chill
dren. A happy combination of cir
aided and abetted by a
handsome young Englishman results
in happy announcement.
Her story interprets the spirit of
her times, is historically accurate, and
interesting. The tale is lightly told
and lightly read.

SANE, SLOW AND SURE

The world has passed through a
crisis that well nigh wrecked it, and
having come through expects to
emerge into Utopia. We are surpris-
ed that instead we are confronted
with a multitude of new problems
from which We see no immediate. es-
cape AS a result we have turned our
energies, which united swept a far
larger danger away, into frenzy of
activity, some directed toward the So
luton of one difficulty, some to an
other and all forgetting to unite on
any.
We are in the position of the boy OF
the fable who, with handful of nuts,
would not relinquish few so that he
could withdraw his hand from the
pitcher. 1t is everything or nothing
we cannot have everything.
Revolution and the catastrophe
after all of themselves carry US far
from the starting point. They merely
point out the road UP which by proper
and Industrious application of their
principles we may hope to win to bet
ter things. Unless we buckle down to
a gradual and above all a patient
struggle to remedy existing evils we
can accomplish nothing.
In the hysteria of unrest we are apt
to lost our presence of mind and
grasp here and there at straws. But
a return of sanity and union of pur-
pose will alone stabilize the social
structure. Until it is Stable, we can
do little further building.
We may look back to the days of
1914 and believe that We have advanc-
ed much because we have Travelled
and suffered much. But for five years
we have been on a merry-go-round
and We have now alighted, slightly
dizzy, not far from where we started
True progress can never come as long
as we are content to be whirled along
by the mechanism of Indifference and
ignorance. True progress can only
come when We work for it, purpose
fully, industriously, intelligently.

Editor the Missourian:
ION with the dance!
Let Joy be unrefined."
Such parody on the words of
George Gordon, Lord Byron, may ap-
peal to the dancing masters sense Of
humor, but they are not inclined to
adopt it as a slogan. II the signs OF
the times are not treacherous, Amer

shimmy as a folk dance, may return

Leap year or no leap year, the maiden

violator of custom by those who ac-
cept the keep-your-distance watch
word
Any good pedestrian can do the ap-
proved dance. 1t is accomplished by
keeping your partner at the distance
of a casual acquaintance and walking
very gracefully up and down the room.

difficult to adhere to the rules and
more than likely will be handed one

These instructions will enable one to
avoid a Jail sentence for violation of
such rules as those against dancing

jazz musician must undergo a painful
reform. He must carry clock on his
music rack, in order that he may play
the proper number of measures to the

gain their composure ere they will be
thrown into another fit of weeping
over the condition of the Jazz Baby,

many cases the woman who take
