ALICE ADAMS

Booth Harrington has give the world
a great book in Alice Adams, though
the story is so true to life its eXper-
fences are painful if not altogether
tragic at times.
II would be sad to think that 1T is
altogether typical of home life of the
middle class in America, but it certain
" reflects much that is common, in
the incidents it pictures and characters
mirrored.
Nine out of ten readers will sympa-
thize altogether with Adams. the man
who fell into a rut, liked his job and
never thought of trying to better his
financial or social standing in the com
munity. But a wife and mother read
ing the book, will sympathize, too, with
Mrs Adams, not ambitious for herself
happy in those early years and willing
to work and struggle in an effort to
make one dollar do the work of five as
her children grew, and their needs IN
creased. For them. she desired only
that they should have advantages OF
education, home of which they would
not be ashamed, clothes and pretties
such as other children of their ac-
quaintance had.
Over ambitious, possibly, but was
there not excuse for some of hex nag
ging of poor Adams' Her mistake was
in the ideals she set before her boy
and girl. She was perhaps, too alto
gether material, and lacking in the
finer sense of relative values, but most
mothers have such ambitions for their
children, though many of them have
common sense enough not to spoil their
offspring as did the woman i'll the
story.
In the boy, there is simply nothing to
admire or excuse. All know Walter
Adams in some boy of their aequaint-
ance and have contempt for him. His
mother was not altogether to blame for
his degeneracy and lack of character.
Adams neglected his son and let him
grow up without guidance or interfer-
ence on his part and his mother spoiled
him. Alice was different. The picture
of her vanity and small pretenses, her

Westmoreland center has been for
tunate this year in having a project
leader of ability. Mrs. Hastings has
rendered her report on work done under
her direction which shows a remarkable
grasp Of the plan and purpose of the
home garment making project
Full instructions for completion of
the dress form by addition of arm
forms have been given so that any
member of the class can add this most
desirable feature to the duplicate of
her own figure. OF these forms, Mrs
Dodson, university specialist, says they
have done more for home demonstra-
tion work than any other one thing
Mrs. Hastings reports fully on the lee
ture given at Westmoreland by Mrs.
Dodson, showing that as project leader
she fully comprehended the purpose
and use of the form in home dress max
ing and will be able to supervise the
clothing project of her center.
Alteration and adaptation of pat
terms have been taught, using the form
for this purpose Many little details,
small in themselves but of importance
in the fitting of the gown and its gen
eral appearance when finished, have
been mastered by the project leader
and kept in notes for future reference.
The sleeve, one of the greatest puzzles
for the home dressmaker, has been
given more attention than any other
one thing in the lessons on gown con-
struction and the class knows how so
select the pattern according to the form
of the wearer, how to alter the curve
according to the use for which the
dress is designed, how to adjust it to
the armhole and many other details
connected with it.
In addition to making dresses, line,
trimming, color combinations, etc. are
studied under direction of the agent
and project leaders and the result is
shown in the good style and smartness
of gowns worn by the rural women who
belong to the home department.

deception of herself and friends is
hateful, but she had much of good Ill
her and under proper environment and
with a spur to better things and nobler
living, she might have risen to heights
of life away above the sordId and
mean.
No more pathetic picture has been
painted than that of Alice Adams as
the wall flower at her friend s dance.
Her spirit was brave and she endured
it, but any woman who reads the
story will have sympathy for the girl
who longed for good time just this
once with dances and compliments and
attentions, not one of which she receiv-
ed, possibly because of her own lack
of character, possibly because she was
poor and had been set down as a social
climber by those more fortunate. The
only think hard to understand is why
she did not have spirit enough in this
day of opportunity for girls to break
away and gain economic independence
for herself She was brave IN many
ways AID she was loyal to her father;
with Spartan endurance, she could sing
and whistle to cover up her disappoint-
mentS and ii must be said of her that
she did not make matters worse i'll her
home by talking of her social drsap-
pointments, and the author does not
picture her as often in tears.
1t is a good story and the character
work is exceptionally well done. No
body of discriminating taste will ques-
tion the Judgment of the committee
which awarded the Pulitzer prize of
81 900 to Alice Adams as the novel of
the year giving the truest picture of an
American home.

The July number of the Illustrated
World carries a picture of Bob Atkin-
son, former Ell Centre boy, and tells
something of his remarkable story. 1t
is not long since Bob Atkinson was a
familiar figure in Ell Centre. He prac.
tically grew up here. Totally blinded
in young manhood, his friends could
hope little of Bob, but today he is a
successful publisher, owning tie most
completely equipped plant for Braille
printing for the blind in the United
States. He is quite an inventor, has
translated the Bible, and though still
a young man, has won notable dis
tinction for his achievements.
