The long struggle with England

many an arduous hill TO climb. and
many a furious battle to fight, be-
fore the goal was won. And il was
during the agony of the fight that
the rueful O'Connell groaned: Il
am sorry TO say that the greatest
enemy of the people of Ireland is his
most sacred majesty.
Going from the Emancipation Pc
Rod we are led right into the great
repeal fight which started with the
| founding in 1910 of the National AS
ISOLATION of Ireland for repeal. Out

veloped the Young Ireland move

Ioet Thomas Davis. He was young
Protestant barrister from Cork, who
was smitten by the enthusiasm in

people died-either of direct starva-

dominated and guided, and had its
characteristics nodded, by the less
numerous but more powerful Mile
sian aristocr~cy and soldiery.
'All thrcC of these races, however,
were different tribes of the great
Celtic family. who, long ages before,
had separated from the main stem
and in course of later centuries
blended again into one tribe of Gaels
three derivatives of one stream,
which, after winding their several
ways across Europe from the East,
in Ireland turbulently met, and after
eddying and surging tumultuously,
finally blended in amity and flowed
onward in one great Gaelic stream"
OF these three certain colonial
tons of Ireland the Firbolg was the
first. They are supposed to have
come from Greece, where they had
been longenslaved, and whence they
escaped in the captured ships of their
masters. But the possession of the
country was wrested from the Fir
bolgs and they were forced into
partial serfdom by the Tuatha De
Danann fpeople of the goddess
Danat, who arrived later. The
Tuatha De Danann were a capable
and cultured, highly civilized people,
so skilled in the crafts, if not the
arts. that the Firbolgs, who were
totally uncultured. named them ne
cromancers; and in the course of
time both the Firbolgs and the Mile
slams created mythology around
these.
So much for the earliest COLOMBIA
ton. Seumas MacManus then takes
us on to some of the earliest kings
and rulers of Ireland. In these chap
tiers we are amazed at the earliest
pitched battles fought between king
doms. and it suddenly dawns on us
that there in those early conflicts
lies the secret of the Irish fighting
spirit that runs down through the
ages, even TO the present day.
Ireland was always the poets land
from the beginning to the present
"In very carly times Greece and
ISOille Only eNcelleu 1I6ld1lu dS lluT-
turers of poets and nursing grounds
of poetry" A poet in Ireland in the
early ages was one of the greatest,
most honored persons in the land
In social rank he held second place
to the king. AT table he was entitled
to the kings joint, the haunch. But
in sacredness of person the king
usually held next place to the poet
The lives of kings were frequently

Gent Irish are said to have been the

theories set forth by some noted

THE STORY OF THE IRISH RACE:
A POPULAR HISTORY OF IRE
LAND. BY Seumas MacManus.
New York: The Irish Publishing
Company.
A T this time a history of the
u Irish race and of that peoples
\ - beloved isle is a very oppor-
tune and welcome event, although
there may be some readers, interested
in such a work. who will prefer to
await the real history that will event
ually be written. But Seumas Mac
Manus's history has lost neither
flavor nor timeliness by the events
that have taken place in Ireland in
derful introduction to histories that
will be written now that peace and
sound governmental principles are
being established there. This history
is written in a way that will be read
lily accepted by readers who haven't
the time to give to bulkier authorr-
ties. But the author has hopes that
his popular history will "whet the ap-
petites of many, and stimulate them
to go browsing in broader and richer
paStureS'-in anticipation of which
there are set down, at ends of chap
tiers or periods, titles of some of the
the subject discussed.
In the compilation of this book Mr..
MacManus treats briefly the political
narrative common to all histories of
Ireland and its people. But the nom
political phases of the history of the
Irish people. in many instances more
important than the political, are gone
into on a much larger scale. These
include the ancient customs, laws,
learning, literature and the lives of
scholars, teachers, saints, mission
aries-and in more modern times the
spiritual struggles and sufferings of
the whole Irish people.
Beginning with the earliest times,
the half mythical colonization of Ire
land, Seumas MacManuS throws aside
the theory that the Irish race of to-
day is purely of Milesian descent,
even though it is popularity known as
the Milesian race. This theory was
first put forth because the genuine
Irish (Celtic) people We're supposed
to be descended from Milesius of
Spain, whose sons invaded and pos
sessed themselves of Ireland a thou
sand years before Christ. But"
writes the author, 1T is nearly as in
accurate to style the Irish people
pure Milesian because the land
was conquered and settled by the
Milesians, as it would be to call them
Anglo-Norman because it was con-
quered and settled by the twelfth
century English"
The races that occupied the little
island when the Milesians came,
chiefly the Firbolg and the Tuatha
De Danann. were certainly not ex-
terminated by the conquering Mile
slams. Those two peoples are sup
posed to have formed the basis of
the future population, which was

the ways through which this con-
summation may be achieved.
In the PAT pages of this volume
there appears to be nothing concern
ing family life and the making of a
success of it that Mrs. Abel has over
looked. Beginning with the charac-
teristics of the moderate income fam
lily, she describes "the higher value
IN family life," analyses The Finan-
cial Partnership" the various phases
of the housewives contributions as
buyer and manager" and through
housework; the place of the COM
nunity in the family life; the bud
get; the standard of living; the sat
isfactions OF life, and THE Look
Ahead"
Out of this mass of material the
two most striking chapters are those
on the standard of living and the
satisfactions of life. In the first
Mrs. Abel, with homely illustrations,
shows how most of us are fettered
by the traditions and conventions of
our respective worlds and the uncon-
scious snobberies We are guilty of
in maintaining those conventions at
the cost of more important things in
life. Among the satisfactions of life
Mrs. Abel counts real pleasure
cheaply arrived at in the family as
the most important, and toward the
achievement of this element she sug
gests reading aloud, nature study
and story telling. From some of the
statistics she quotes regarding fam
lily incomes it is perfectly plain that
one of the great troubles of this
country is that the average family
spends altogether too much money
on pleasure. There are few fathers
and mothers and sons and daugh-
ters who would not be the better for
reading this book.

Furniture Needs

This is the time to buy furniture
for your garden and verandas. II
you can only afford, or only need, a
few pieces. well and good. Get those
few pieces now. If you can AFFORD
and need many, so ahead and get
them now. The shops have their best
choice now, and prices this spring
are at least a little better than they
were year ago.
There are most interesting new
chairs, with ,wpeden sides and back
and seats, Of hempen rope used like
splints, in green and brown. These
are new and interesting. and. OF
course. they. are also comfortable.
A swing rof some sort is almost
essential to. your garden happiness.
There are the regulation garden
ings over them, that may be- had
from SIS up. And then there are the
Giidfngs swings, that slide backward
and forward. instead of swing, that

These, too, have awnings of gay
Tent houses, with netted sides, are
good investments, especially where
flies 'or mosquitoes are abundant.
These tent houses come with wooden
floors, q door that faStens, and SIDES
that are really proof against mos
quitoes and flies. You can spend q
hot night comfortably in one of them,
and as they are fitted with canvas
flaps that let down at the sides you
have as much privacy as you wish in
| them.
A child's tent is sure to give a child
much happiness, He can use it for
a little garden playhouse. for sand
pile when he Is tiny, and later on for
all sorts of fascinating play.
1t Is q very good plan. II you have
! some sort of little house or tent in
the garden. to have in it a box con-
tanning a dust cloth, which is FREE
quentiy replaced by clean one. With
this the chairs that are left out can
always then be easily busted. More
frocks have been sruiped from soiled
garden chairs than a few, and If a
dustcloth Is always at hand there is
] little excuse for not busting the
chairs.
Many cushions ought to be in the
garden. for they are sometimes more
comfortable than chairs. 1t is an
English trick to have garden cushions
Of color that can be easily seen at
dusk, SO that they will not be over

and white are, of course, the best
colors for this purpose.
There are garden cushions covered
