The collection of songs by Miss
Clark are unusually attractive, and
will give general pleasure.
The reading by Miss Stallings is
skillful arrangement of Cecil Fan
ning's Pipes of Pan" to musical
accompaniment, which responds fex-
IDLY and beautifully to the spirit of
the poem. The story is founded on
an old tradition that Pan, the god of
mirth and all things pastoral, rejoices
at The birth of Christ, but is over
come and dies as he learns of the
Crucifixion. Following the great
tragedy, in the poets fancy, the
Nymphs and Sprite of Mythology
come forth to mourn the death of
Pan, afterwards returning to their
native haunts, thus symbolizing the
final disappearance of pagan mythol.
ogy as Christianity comes to the
world.

ONE MAN WHO GAME BACK

Americans who complain about governmental in~
reference with their personal liberty might consider
the case of a Chicagoan whose exemption is due al
together to court meddlesome Nine years ago, when
this man was 80, relatives asked the court TO ad-
judge him a drunkard and spendthrift and deprive him
of the management Of his property, which was valued
at 100000
Whether the relatives were more concerned for
saving the money or the man is Of no Importance
They had to take one with the other or lose both. ac-
cording to the testimony on which the court acted.
Nevertheless, the property belonged to its owner and
he should have been at liberty to dispose Of it as he
chose, if the doctrine of personal liberty is worth any
thing. Yet the public has an interest in preventing
a man from squandering his fortune and bringing
himself TO state in which he is likely e become q
public charge. This man was headed that way when
the court deprived him Of control OF his fortune
Conservatcrs were appointed for the estate and
they allowed the owner a paltry $500 a month Per-
haps he objected that it isn't cigaret money though
that expression had not been coined before the war
But he had to get alcng on it. He had to give up a
lot of pleasures that he had known. No doubt it al
most killed hin" fol- a while He lost a lot Of old
friends-the kind that have no use for a man without
money; but he made new and worthwhile friends
One of them has agreed to become his wife. He Is
respected by his relatives and they joined him in pc
titioning the court to restore his property TO him. The
prayer was granted.
This comeback was managed with the aid OF pro-
hibition, but it emphasizes the benefits that may be
extracted from a reasonable public guardianship Of
citizens in need of saving themselves.

Our early-Victorian observers describing the starv-

before the beginning az the World War Russia was
stringing along on the edge OF the conditions that have
now broken through the surface. During the war these
conditions were aggravated TO the last point Of endut-
anee. With the end Of the World War came that block
lde which shut off Russia from the world. completing
the breakdown begun years before by the bureaucratic
autocracy of Nicholas II. On TOP of all this came a
drouth which began last April and IS still burning up

The horror stories which are finding their way
cut of Russia almost as numerous IS the hungry peo-

things. Descriptions of the appearance Of the suffer-

tailed down TO the lack Of facial cleanliness.
It never occurs to those faithful narratoFs or what
they don't know except by rumor that if 100000
people are starving in Russia there is less concern
over lack of soap than Of something to sustain life.
Nor does it seem to occur to these frenzied historians
that if conditions are what they represent soap would
be snapped for something to ward off death from starry

MINIMUM MARRYING INCOME.

IN two or three Eastern colleges for girls a ques-
tionnaite has been submitted TO the students in order to
ascertain The views of the young women on how small
Ia income should a couple marry Naturally, the re-
plies cover a considerable range. The minimum sug-
eested il about 1000 a year while $4,000 is the high
est. perhaps. The average is between $4,000 and 81
GOO.
II is probable that in fixing the amounts that meet
their ideas the girls suggested what to their minds
seemed desirable. Before the war they would have
been less. In a school where many girls are gathered
there would be no diversity of opinion, as to what is
sufficient. Home income would have an influence in
suggesting the figures. A girl whose father has a large
income would be likely to have mere lofty ideas of
what is needful than in the case of another whose par
ent earns less. A girl who puts 81 fear years in a
modern college acquires tastes that it requires money
to satisfy. but it does not follow that she may not be
willing to dispense with some things she likes in con
sideration Of having something else which she appre-
ciates more. A young woman properly schocled knows
that many OF the things of life most worth while are
not purchaseable with money.
IN fixing any definite sum as to the minimum it
would net be safe to conclude that a girl would not
be willing to enter married life on less. Girls have
II habit Of changing their minds. In most cases tt
seems that the man and his future prospects should
be considered of more importance than present income.
In earlier times young people were not averse TO be-
SHINING married life in a rather primitive way There
may be a bit less disposition now to start simple and
build fortunes together but the more there is Of that
spirit the more probability of a happy marriage We
doubt net that the girls who fix high figures as the
minimum would not insist upon them. were other
conditions inviting. If they should, we fear a lot of
bright and cultured girls are destined to spend life in
spinst-rhocd for there may not be enough men of in
come high enough to go around, at least not in the
usual marrying age.
What a man earns when he marries Is not so
vital as what he expects to earn 10 or 20 years later
An ample income in middle and later age is Of greater
consideration, for expenses increase with an increas-
ing family.
