How a Title Is Made

Asa Don Dickinson. the compiler of
Waits and Strays," the o. Henry
stories recently issued by his publish
ers. Doubleday, Page & Co.. told not
long ago how this book came by its
title. He said he was asked to describe
TO the publishers statesmen how and
where he gathered the material for the
book. He told how some Of the stories
were dug up from the dusty, crumbling,
old files of more or less obscure news
papers; how others were discovered
among, the tattered pages of some of the
ephemeral magazines of twenty years
ago. When he had finished his story
one of the. statesmen remarked. well.
it's truly interesting collection of
waits and strays you have gathered to-
gether." At once the shout came from
around the table. "Waifs and Strays"
is the title, and WAITS and Strays" it
became from that hour.

4 REAL MAN
Po Chu-i, Chinese Poet of the
Ninth Century, Has Some
Modern Thoughts

Persons interested In their fellow men
VIII be gratful to Arthur VALLEY for
introducing to them Po Chu-i. a Chinese
poet. who was born in 772 A.D,. and
died in SAC. Po Chu-i served at court
and later was governor of three diff
terent provinces. He wrote verse all
his adult life, verse that is kindly.
human and philosophical. He watches
the reapers toiling in the fields, de-
scribes their hard labor and then re
fleets:
And I today-by virtue of what right
Have I never once tended field or tree?
My government pay is three hundred
tons;
At the years end have still grain in
hand.
Thinking Of this, secretly 7 grew
ashamed
And all day the thought fingered in my
head.
This might be the reflection OF a
modern social reformer born to riches.
When governor of a province he wrote
poem after the collection of the
autumn taxes in which he was franker
with himself than many a politician of
the present day. He says:
But at least am glad, now that the
taxes are in
To learn that In my province there is
no discomfort.
fear it's prosperity is not due to me
And was only caused by the years
abundant crops
He can be whimsical too, as he
shows in Lazy Mans Song" which
begins like this:
I have got patronage, but am too lazy
to use 1t;
have got land, but am too lazy to
farm it.
My house leaks; I am too lazy to
mend it.
My clothes are torn am too lazy to
darn them.
have got wine, but am too lazy to
drink;
So it's just the same ss II my cellar
were empty
These and about fifty other poems
by Po Chu-i appear in More Chinese
Translations, by Mr.. Valley, which
follows his "a Hundred and Seventy
Chinese Poems,' that appeared a few
months ago. Mr.. Valley includes
selections from seven other Chinese
poets and one or two prose writer's. But
it is Po Chu-i who will be most in
teresting to people nowadays.

TWO WOMEN AND
4 COLLIE DOG
4 Record of the Life Of The
AnimaI on the Campus Of
Wellesley College

The kind of dog book written by
woman is different from the kind writ
ten by a man, as those will discover
who read Albert Payson Terhune's S
Lad and Katherine Lee Bates's
"Sigurd." Both dogs are thoroughbred
collies. Lad was trained from puppy
hood by man and developed into
trustworthy animal, obedient and gen
tie. Sigurd, living with two women
professors in Wellesley College. might
have developed into the same kind of an
animal, but he became. as Miss Bates
describes him, spoiled child.
Yet he was not completely spoiled.
1t is difficult to destroy all the charm
in fine dog. The amiable qualities of
Sigurd endeared him to every one on
the campus. He made friends with the
students, going on picnics with them
and submitting to all the petting which
lot Of girls lavished on him, and
picking friends from among them with
the unerring instinct of an animal
which knows dog lovers from those in
different to them. On account of his
lack Of training he got into all sorts of
scrapes, but he was loved the more for
this.
Miss Bates tells of his loyalty TO
her and her housemate, of his friend
ship for two old women who lived alone
near her, and of the frolics he had with
his brother belonging to the old ladies'.
The two dogs would run away together
whenever they could get the opportun-
ty, as properly trained dogs would not
do, and it would sometimes be necessary
to ride miles into the country in search
of them. The record will recall to
Wellesley graduates since the beginning
of the century the memory of an agree
able friend, and it will entertain dog
lovers everywhere. Yet those who know
dogs will be grieved by the manifesto
ton Of faults which would not have de-
veloped mad Sigurd been trained by
some one who knew how.
The volume contains in addition to
the story of Sigurd the description of
various other animal pets which were
kept from time to time by Miss Bates
and her friends.

THE SOUL OF 4 LAD
"Yellowleaf' Powerful NoUel
Of Attempted Destruction

"Yellowleaf" is a story of the at
tempted destruction Of soul, the soul
of boy. Sacha Gregory has writ
ten an unusual tale and he has written
it artistically and with power. The
book portrays a phase of criminality
as terrible as it is odd.
Aghassy,, great musician, and Lady
Mary Dampierre, great lady, with wits
tempered to an amazing sharpness by
her many years of life, dominate the
novel. Their unceasing battle of brain
and wills gives "Yellowleaf" large
part of its interest. and the ultimate
victory brings tragedy to both.
Jimmy Dampierre, Lady Mary s
grandson, is the lad whose soul is in
ieopardy. The characterization of him
is cleyerly done. as also is that of his
mother. whose love for her son is as
great as her will is weak She is the
Second wife of Aghassy and her dread
of him is real In the background
is the stalwart, wholesome figure of
Charles Thorn, who tries to protect
Jimmy and who loves the lads mother,

ADVENTURES OF
WILSON IN PARIS
Two Books Respectively De-
fend and Analyse Peace
Conference

"what Wilson Did at Paris" is more
Of an exposition and explanation than
an apologize for the course taken by the
President in the Peace Conference. 1t
elucidates and defends the various ac-
commodations. compromises and adjust
ments between his program and the
various conflicts of policy that made the
erection of the peace treaty difficult and
Of course impossible to suit everybody
in everything. The author, Ray Stan
nard Baker. the magazinist and once
one of the battalion of death of the
muckrakcrs, was in a peculiarly advan
tagcous position to get the President S
reactions to the proceedings and the
Peace Conferences reactions to Mr..
Wilson's desires, and quite naturally his
viewpoints and interpretations are ia
vorable.. He was in charge of the
can delegation to enlighten both the
home and foreign correspondents of the
covenants arrived at when they were
ultimately opened.
'"The Adventure of the Fourteen
Points is a somewhat lively account
of vivid and dramatic high lights among
the routine episodes of the Peace Con-
ference from its opening at Paris to
the signing of the treaty at Versailles
Harry Hansen, head of the cable service
of big American newspaper syndicate,
tells connectedly, with various inter
esting details and attention to relative
bearings of policies, program and per-
sonalities. what came across to our
papers piecemeal as it happened from
day to day. Mr.. Hansen is much more
critical than Mr.. Baker, but he is fair.
His view is that which probably vast
majority of Americans hold today-that
independence, that disregard of older
diplomacies, that consistent publicity
all of which are simple restatements Of
some of the fourteen points-would have
made better treaty humanity and spir
itually and consequently and eventu-
ally both politically and economically.
he realizes the necessity for compro
misses while not approving all the com
promises. Keen wit is alternated with
keen analysis, and though the book does
not purport to be history, it is docu-
mented with salient extracts of i'm
portaut papers and transactions. There
is touch of pathos at the failure of
high ideals and the loss of high hopes
as the points were scrapped one by one,
particularly the self determination one.

an informing and enhghtening book.
