"E. Is ever so nice a boy, as
you can see when first his
pleasant eyes look into yours.
Straight as straight, and his hand
clasps your own in a firm young
grip.
No nonsense about him, either,
for all the fame that has gathered
to keep company with his genius.
The pleasure he gives the world
when he props his violin under his
chin and draws the bow over the
strings is his pleasure, too.
It just happens that he has a
knack Of doing it bit better than
those who listen, and there's moth
ing to put on airs about; not a
thing in the world-or 80 his man
ner seems to say.
But this is the boy as musician.
The boy as boy is another person,
and all things that have to do with
him appear quite different!
The boy as boy would have found
his girl and loved her and married
her and been happy long, long ago,
it is more than likely. But the boy
as musician-well, folks have been
surprisingly interested in whom he
favored and how much, and did
she favor him and was she alto
gether up to his fame, and would
they get on together and ever and
ever so many more Of the same
questions!

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

TDUCATION begins the gen.
n, tleman, but reading, good
- company and reflection
must finish him.
Great honors are great bur-
dens, but most men think their
shoulders broad enough to bear
them.
What we call liberality is often
we like more than what we give
away.
Pleasure is a necessary recip-
rocal; no one feels it who does
not at the same time give it. To
be pleased one must please.
He alone is a man who can re-
sist the genius Of the age. the
tone of fashion, with vigorous
simplicity and modest courage.
All earthly delights are sweeter
in expectation than enjoyment,
but all spiritual pleasures more
in fruition than expectation.
We are sometimes more in
clined to hate one another for
points on which we differ than
to love one another for points on
which we agree.
To be influenced by a passion
for the same pursuits, and to
have similar dislikes, is the
rational groundwork Of lasting
friendship.
There appears to exist a great
err desire to live long than TO
live we'll. Measure by mans de-
sires, he cannot live long enough
measure by his good deeds.
and he has not lived long enough
measure by his evil deeds, and
he has lived too long.
Without content, we shall find
it almost as difficult to please
others as ourselves.
Often the best brains develop
slowly, and it has become almost
proverbial that the dull boy at
school turns out a man or excep-
tional mental capacity.
NORMAN, Okla.-"Jazz is to
music just what slang is to Eng
lish."
This is the opinion Of Miss
Ethel Lyons, dean of women at
the University of Oklahoma.
Exterior influences Of college
life are fully as important as ac-
tual classroom technique and en-
vironment, in molding Americas
future men and women, accord
ing to Miss Lyons.

Let Talent Spoil His
HAPPINESS
Happiness

; more careful than almost anyone
else in choosing a wife. And he
finally made an ideal and resolved
that he'd never, never think of a
wife until he'd found that ideal!
Time ran along, and you may
fancy him a little lonely occa-
sionally, for not even an adoring
public may fill in all blank places!
Then a concert tour was over
and he visited another musician,
and he met a girl.
She might have been any boys
ideal, with her soft voice and her
sweet, gentle manner and her beau
tiful face. So 1t didn't take them
long to become sweethearts. And
in no time at all word went out
that they were engaged and they
were quite the happiest young
things in all the world.
Then the world wanted to know
about 1t and their friends asked
questions and speculated. And the
boy as boy was swallowed up in
the scintillation of the boy as
musician.
Maybe he'd been spoiled a bit,
after all. Their engagement was
broken.
The girl hasn't been seen much
since-no doubt her eyes are a
little red and her lips a little
droopy. And the boy is beginning
to look restless and disconnected.
Poor youngster! Like many Of
us who are not geniuses, but mere
work-a-day men and women, he
has been talked out of his sense of
values.
l do hope that before it is too
late he will learn to- know how
easy and delightful it is to idealize
the real, since it seldom is within
the power of humanity to realize
the ideal.
