LORD RYRoNs ANNIVERsARY

Today. April the Nineteenth. is Patriots
Tlay That is to say. it is SO celebrated IN
Maine and. Massachusetts. The, date was
chosen because it is the anniversary OF faul

trdot Of Greece, died of fever at Missolonghi.
IT, Is also A coincidence of remarkable fitness
that Greece: within this very week, has man
Tested her patriotic choice Of the republican
form of government. April 10, the anniver-
aary of Byron's death, may very well also
be named Patriots Day for the Greeks.
For Byron was assuredly martyr to his
real in behslf of Greek liberty, having con-
tracted his mortal illness in military camp.
His burning words made the cause of Greece
real to all of Europe and gained for Greece
a sympathy she would not otherwise have
enjoyed
+ It is strange to think that Byron achieved
such heights of renown at such an early
aze. For he outlived his thirty sixth birth
day by the space of only three months. But
his fame was already fifteen years old. He
would have been one of cur literary imm0r-
tals If he had died before he ever saw Greece,
or even Italy, where one. of the most pro-

years through which fame survives. Shelley,
Keats and many another sang their death
Iezs songs ere scarcely they had reached their
majorities Our own Bryant's masterpiece,
Thanatopsis, was written when the author
WIS seventeen. Had il not been written then
itnever would have been, for it is plainly the
poetic expression Of the sentiments of adoles-
csnce and composed under their soniber spell.
Yet the recent poetic successes of the octo-
esnarian Thomas Hardy, who was not a
poet until after he was seventy. shows that
the blossoms Of the century plant are as
fresh and fragrant as those of the rose.
There are msny who believe that Lord
Byron lived through only one phase Of his
life, however, and was on the threshold of
smother more mature and deeper and more
thoughtful phase when he died. He had
somewhat outgrown the taste for his more
youthful excesses, and was about ready
to settle down to a richer experience and
perhaps a more substantial expression,
whether in poetry or in prose, than any
now credited to him. Lord Byrons writings
aFe copious and diffuse. Where one piece is
undying, a dozen give little enjoyment when
read today. In fact, many are not read, ex-
-cspt by those whose duty it is to read them,
aud they are few. The Lord Byron that
died in a Greek hospital was scarcely the
Byron that the world knows, but the Byron
the world would have come to know had his
life been spared decade longer.

PoWDER.PUFFs IN PLYMOUTH

aRpear to be keeping pace with the process
sion in industrial, educational and other ex
pension. Who would have thought that at
staid and Puritanical Plymouth, whence have
e6me so many stories of grim and straight
laced methods of preserving standards and
traditions of narrow-path conduct, a high
school principal would decide that girl pupils
could use as many powder puffs as they
Ike? But that is what occurred according
TO the press dispatches. Listen to this Puri-
tan educator: Let them turn themselves
into walking marsh-mallows if they want to-
said he. What else could the principal do,
when he saw that traditions could not resist
tie march of progress as respects nose-pow-
dsring any more than in other things? Be
sides, the only argument against the powder
puff seems to have been that it was in such
frequent and prolific use that large quanti-
tics were spilled on the floor, and the mirror
was removed to discourage the process. SO
it seems that, after all, the decision came
back to an economic basis for keeping floors
clean in these days of high costs of materials

New England, the question of precedence
