McEwen never had husband
Whether Mr.. McEwen is a myth or
whether It is one of the more sordid
situations where Mrs. McEwan consid-
cred him her husband and the rest Of
the world did not, has not been
brought out. But Just as a simple,
sweeping, answer to q charge, 1t was
what the best-sellers Of the moment
call Intriguing"
Speaking of best-sellers - sixty
persons came to the desk Of New
York's public libraries to get a book
of fiction to one individual who wants
to carry away a book on religion. This
Is one of the facts brought out by the
annual library report just issued. The
figures show further that fiction Is
the most popular and religion the
least. Philosophy is almost as far
down on the list, while the fine arts
get twice as many readers as do re-
ligious subjects; useful arts" and
history, each three times as much, and
most amazing Of all, to me, anyway
who can barely remember what the
word means, nearly as many are Inter-
ested in philology as in history And
in these days of wars!
Spring breezes that reach even the
most sluggish of city hearts drifted
into q classroom on the lower East
Side the other day, where for four
hours daily young and spring-loving
teacher struggles to teach English to
adult foreigners. The breezes remind
b dher of the world out-of-doors, and
she wrote the word Seasons" on the
board, and asks the class, "Now, can
anyone tell me how many seasons
there are and what they are called?'
In unison the class promptly respond
ed. "Two-busy and slack"
The movement to extend the useful
ness of the Navy Club of this city, by
making 1t national in charter has been
officially launched. The plan is to
have each state represented in the en-
listed personnel of the navy to sub
scribe $4,000 for endowment OF
dormitories to be used as shore quar-
ters by visiting sailors.

New York. The most interesting
events in New York, If one only has
time to tsick through them, are the
PawnbrOkers Austion Sales, held an
nually, down on the Bowery. One was
on last week, and l went in for half
an hour listening to the beauties Of
horseshoe diamond scraf pins and
monogrammed cigarette cases. Then l
got my thrill. A square picture frame
was put up, containing wood carving
of the Lords prayer. An dthe auc-
tioneer told its history. On cold, bliz-
zardy night, twelve years ago, julius
Michaels was just about to close his
pawnshop on Second avenue, when
poorly dressed man came in with this
carving and its frame. Michaels lent
him 50 on it, and he told the pawn
broker that he had made it in prison,
devoting several years to the work.
Every year the interest acme on the
day 1t was due. Once letter accom-
panied it, apologizing for its being
late and explaining that the sended
was in Joliet prison. Then a two
years silence; and then a letter from
Sing Sing asking that it be kept for
him until he could redeem it. That
was seven years ago, and no further
word had been received from the man
who thought so much fthis one thing
in his life that he tried to cling to 1t
through everything. At last the pawn
broker couldn't wait any longer and 1t
was auctioned off.
There is motley-looking crowd on
Broadway around Times Square these
days. Some movie director gave out
the suggestion that character" people
could make a more convincing impress
sion If they created atmosphere" for
themselves by dressing their chosen
parts all the time. They'd get in the
habit of really BEING "rube" or
sailor or whatever else they chose.
So along the Rialto they stroll, and in
the white-tabled restaurants of the
district they abound; long-whiskered,
big-hatted farmers; monocled, cane
carrying "Englishmen," and all the
rest of the stock character parts. Let
thi sbe mentioned, though; it's only
men you see in such reglia and
makeup. Never does a character
woman step upon the street without
looking as every other woman does
her very best and la modesest.

Little Girl. Narrowly
Escaped Drowning


Little Florence Onken, who makes
her home with her grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Anderson, mar
rowly escaped drowning Monday,
when she fell in The creek near her
home. She, with several little play
mates, was standing on the bridge
throwing sticks into the water, that
lacked only several inches of touch
ing the bridge, when she lost her
balance and fell headlong into the
creek. One Of the little girls, Alice
Bailey with whom she was playing,
jumped in to rescue her playmate
but was unable to do so, and her
father, Fred Onken, hearing the
screams Of the children rushed to
the scene and jumped into the wa

tie girl had floated some distance
before she was rescued. She escap-
ed uninjured and was able to re-
turn to her play shortly after the
accident.

Miss Harold is an artist of in
herited ability really remarkable.
To this she has, by long applica-
ton and study, added scholarly
understanding of her subjects, and
ripe experience before the most
discriminating audiences. Her
programs are almost startling in
their faithfulness to types depicted.
In the entire range Of readings Of
fered it is to be seriously doubted
if an artist could be secured who
will afford greater instructive
pleasure to the people. Her work
is Of that high order Of excellence
that makes it a delight to be asso-
ciated with her appearance in our
town. With high confidence in her
ability to please in way that only
exceptional attractions please, we
commend her to you.
