and YOU long for work It's so with the high

IL is a very young organization, compara-
lively, this Occupation Therapy Society of
New York, formed in the fall Of 1919 under
the presidency Of Dr. Alexander Lambert and
with a board AMI advisory council including
DR.. William l. Russell. DR.. Frederick Peter
son. Miss Anna c. Maxwell and Miss Lillian ID.
Wad Out Of the experience gained in the
treatment Of soldiers during the World War
came the movement, now growing fast, for
the reconstruction Of injured soldiers Of the
industrial army How many people know that
nearly one million individuals are industrially
injured in the United States every year? How
many know that the period Of convalescence
can be shortened, Oh an average, four and one
half days by occupation therapy-a matter Of
considerable Importance to hospitals!
To SIC a curative and occupation therapy de-
partmcnt in every hospital in New York State
is the dream OF the Occupation Therapy So
ciety. IL has many other plans for broadening
its scope, but the carrying out Of plans takes
money, and occasionally the officers and
trustees have TO stop and make some. That
is what they are doing now, with Fred Stone.

Most Books On Etiquette
Stress "the Right Fork"

In talking over the book with Mrs. Pos. I
spoke in admiration Of the aitruistic principle
which is brought out as a keynote all through
the book.
THE trouble with so many books on eti-
quette is their tendency TO stress the unimpor-
tant," she replied. Little or silly situations
are put into limelight as though it made tho
slightest difference really, whether the man
chose 10 pick up the fork or not or whether
he put left or right or both hands into tho
finger bowl or more likely did not use IL az
all. And yet, in other ways conventions are
rather exacting. The point is that complete
outsiders cannot tell which from which. What
you do is at least Of less Importance than what
you are. and those who pretend TO be what
they are not are the only real offenders.
"The object Of etiquette is the smoothing ot
all frictions There are certain rules Of eti-
quctte that apply to society. Those who wish
to take social position must follow certain
conventions and consider the preiudices OF
those who form that society Of which they de.
sire to become a part. have a chapter on
cards and visits, formal notes, invitations, an
nouncements. words and phrases related 70
that facet Of the subject. But the greater part
% the book has 10 do with living without frie-
ton with our fellow beings. You can't avoid
hurting peoples feelings II you have no con-
ception of what those feelings are. You can't
avoid giving offense if you can't perceive the
sensbities Of others. You can't be lady
IL you have no clear picture Of what lady
really is-no understanding Of the impulses
that animate her-do you see?
II believe there must be Renaissance IN
manners. just as there was the Renaissance
in art We haven't the time We used 20 have,
but that does not mean we have really changed.
believe that, although certain forms have
zone and many social obseryances have been
discarded, fundamentally, the niceties are
observed quite as much as ever they were"
Just what do you mean by that?" inter-
cepted. THAT our manners are so bad JUST
now that we are bound 10 have a reacton?"
81 merely mean that there is a seeming sag
at present don't give a hang what happens
that is the result Of the war. Several thou
sand years of civilization can hardly be wiped
out in half a dozen years Of sag. There must
be a recovery, a more unselfish attitude thai
considers the feelings and the rights OF other
people. You cant have an association OF per-
sons. call it society or let il be business assoc
citation, without consideration Of one associate
for the rights of the others. And that is what
manners are. Consideration for others, atru-
istic kindness is the backbone Of the subject.
The vertebra and ribs are pretty clearly
pointed out in the various chapters"
Most Of the work was done in the library OF
the authors house at Tuxedo. BY way Of re-
freshing the memory, it will be remembered
that It was Bruce Price's-Mrs. Posts fathers
architectural genius which contributed to the
building of Tuxedo Park, that heavenly haven
tucked away in the Ramapo Hills

contact as though they were meddlesomely
curious at least, or. at worst, dishonest. 1t is
impossible TO overstate the misfortune Of this
temperament. The servant who IS watched
for fear she won't work, listened to for fear
she may be gossiping. suspected Of wanting
10 take a liberty Of some sort, or Of doing
something else she shouldn't do, is psychologi-
cally discouraged, almost driven 20 do these
very things"
Which reminds me Of this anccdote From
below stairs at q house parry several years
ago. came this shrewd comment on the author
of the new book Of etiquette here being dis
cussod:
"Srurc an wouldn' you know Mrs. Post were
an arstocrat-lovely crayture that she Is.
She amt that afraid to be nice TO the SER
wants."

Under the heading, "The Well Appointed
House. there is subdivision dealing with
servants;
g. so insistently has this obloquy Of
the word servant spread that every one SEN
stive TO the feelings Of others avoids using it
exactly as one avoids using the word cripple
when speaking TO one who is slightly lame. Yet
are not the best Of US servants in the Church?
And the highest Of us Servants Of the people
Of the State?
ITO be a slattern in vulgar household is
scarcely an elevated employment, but neither
is working in a sweatshop or. belonging to
calling that is really deg1 AIDED; which is other
wise about all that equal lack Of ability would
procure On the other hand, consider the voca-
ton of a lady.s maid or courier valet and
compare the advantages these enjoy (to say
nothing Of their never having to worry ABOUT
overhead expenses, with the opportunities OF
those who have never been out Of the factory
or store or further away than the adjoining
town in their lives. AS for a nurse, is there
any calling more honorable?
ut might be well for those who have trouble
TO remember few rules that are often over
looked: Justice must be the foundation upon
which every tranquil house is constructed.

Work must be as evenly divided as possible;

accorded to all. 1t is not just to be too lenient

HAS
GREAT SUCCESS
ON FIRST NIGHT
Well Filled House Express
eS Approval of Winter
Garden Show; Large Cast
Carefully Coached.

The first night of "A Night in
Dreamland," played last night in
the Crystal theater to packed
house. From the Dream Man
number, sung by yawning and
snoring children in their nighties
until the last stately American
beauty chorus the show was one
of amusing and interesting bits OF
song, dance and pantomine.
After the snoring children had
made their exits. preceded by
small clowns in Hopping cos
tunes, the title and feature act
of the production was presented.
The scene was a garden party.
The guests were seated in the
garden, and each in his turn con-
tributed an act or dance, APP
plauded by he party and the au-
dience. Mrs. Walton Snyder, an
actress of popularity, sang sew
eral numbers during the evening,
which were loudly applauded.
Other features of the scene We're
the Rose of Waikiki" sung by
Miss Bernadine Lewis and the
chorus; Just a Little Lovin' "
sung by Miss Ann Conant;" "In
the Garden of My Heart" sung
and encored by Ivan Meighan; and
the patriotic finale, including the
popular and overwOrked Star
Spangled Banner"
The next part of the show de-
picted the various scenes in and
about a moving picture theater. a
wedding specially followed, in
which brides ana grooms went
through pre-wedding difficulties,
but finally surmounted the intrica
cies of the wedding march and
lived themselves happily off the
stage at the end of the chorus. A
iitney race number followed in
which folding chairs did noble
service as flivvers. This in turn
gave way to q group Of athletes in
basketball garb, who danced onta
the Stage~n a manner right college
boyish, giving vent to ''rah-rah's, >
led by a winsome chorus of girls
dressed as yell leaders in white
trousers and the rest of it. Leaving
the athletic field, the scene changed
TO Toxic, where a beVy of dainty
Jap girls sang to their American
soldier lovers delicate love songs,
with fans in the offing. The fina!
scene of the rosebuds was intro
duced by a small cupid, who cap
tured the audience by her lisping
verse. The curtain rose on a gar
den OF human roses, bearing large
flowers which they swayed to the
graceful llusic. A determined
quintette of youths sang love bal
lads to the buds from the balcony.
The cast seemed well chosen and
earnestly coached. There was a
hint of first night nervousness, but
the good natured audience over
looked the slight discrepancies and
expressed its unbounded approval
by applauding delightedly at every
point.
The piece itself is entertaining
end amusing, with plenty Of variety
and action. Its main virtue lies in
its huge cast, which affords no OPP
portunity for monotony. Director
Wellington himself appeared in one
.Eumber and was cordially received.
