Classic Lore,
the Thing

Romantic wilmington mai
dens of the high school age are
going back TO the old classics
for their love stories, and for the
most part are leaving the latest
smart novels alone.
According to statistics kept by
Miss Emma Eckman. assistant
librarian Of the Wilmington In
stitute Free Library, there has
been a much greater demand for
the standard classic works dur
ing the past winter than ever
before. This is probably due to
the high schools demand that
scholars read certain old clas-
sizes in connection with their lit
erature studies. thus creating
the demand for classic works.
It is believed by some OF the
library authorities that the fact
that girls are turning towards
the finer works for their ro-
nance. will create a need for
more chivalry among the gall
liant young knights OF the city,
as the young. romantic maid is
going to demand a lot more
