LOVE IS AN IDEAL

Books no not tell the truth about love. That S the opinion of John Erskine, professor of English at Co., lumbia university, author and editor, chevalier of the Legion of Honor, one of the most distinguished figures of contemporary American literature.
 The materials for true account of love are easily found in life, but rarely in books, says Professor Erskine in a succinct and brisk article tucked away in the Zeta Tau Quarterly.
 "The old books" he says, liked to dwell on the beauty and the spiritual elation of the passion, and they forgot to say that to a happy love goes pa tience and intelligence and self-sacrifice. The new books like to dwell on the fact of sex, as though we had just dis covered it. or they give attention ex- clusively to the animal origin of love and forget to mention the spiritual fruit"
 Professor Erskine admits there is a streak of the indecent ill modern litera- ture. However, he understands it and explains it by saying that just as there are young men who are caught in a wave of sensuality, who can't get higher than the animal origins of their lives, just so are there many writers today in the same primitive stage. Their ac- counts of love, he says, are "the emu. meration of kisses and embraces sort of sexual bookkeeping"
 Only this need be said of such peo. pie, that they are missing great deal

the bridge, while high up in the air | pair of billing and cooing doves are suspended. The imaginary legend of the willow pattern design is said to be as follows:
 A nobleman living in the palace had . fair daughter who had fallen in love with a youth of low degree. One night, with the aid of a ladder, the youth abducted the willing maiden and the somewhat shapeless figures on the bridge are supposed to represent the fleeing damsel carrying her bundle of finery; her daring lover, carrying the ladder, and the irate father, having in his hand an instrument of castigation.
 The boat in the distance is meant to represent the agent in the escape of the devoted couple from the wrath of the angry parent, while the doves overhead symbolize the fact that they married and lived happily ever after in the manner of the usual mythical tale.

BEAUTY TALK
By pR: LILLIAN WHITNEY

R. M.-Your method of treating su- perfluous hair has been foolish in the extreme. As you say, you realize that it has done you more harm that good. since you have "a terrible case" never heard of the preparation you mention. There is only one treatment which l can conscientiously recom- mend, and that is French ointment which originated with a famous Pa risian skin specialist. Unfortunately, l can give you no further data on this through this column, but on receipt of a self-addressed stamped envelope 1 will gladly put you in touch with it. A. D.-Read what has been told R. NJ. above. Regarding thick lips; I have said that unless the condition amounts to positive deformity-in which case surgical operation will reduce the lips to their proper size the only thing I can recommend is an astringent. Equal parts of lemon juice and honey are rubbed into the lips every night at bedtime.
 P. l.. C.-The. liver spots require more than some little bleaching To- tion. The liver is a very wonderful organ and a tremendous amount of work is thrown upon it by injudicious living, constipation and so on. I would like to have mapped out a course of treatment for you but my limited space here forbids this. You can apply lemon juice to the parts several times day, and take lemon juice internally--highly diluted with water. You can also use pure perox- idle of hydrogen.

DISTORTING NOVEL

Patrons of the movies will appreciate the interest of authors in the successful protest of one of their number against the distortion of his story in its filming under-contract. Frank l.. Packard com plained that the title of his novel. for which he had sold the picture rights. was given to . scenario with which neither he nor his story had any con nection. while his story in an adapted and distorted form was filmed under another title. The appellate court by . unanimous decision decided in favor of Mir. Packard's claim. that when he sold the picture rights of his story he did not give permission for it's dissection and for the rearrangement of it's bones in different order and under different investiture than was his original crea- tion-
 There has been . rising tide of pro- test for years against the strange trans mogrifications of popular books and plays in the movies. One fragrant ex- ample was the screen version of Sir James M. Barrie's social satire. The Admirable Crichton." When it reached the .'xilver sheet it had been vulgarized into . crude representation of sex on a desert island, entitled Male and Female" to emphasize the new character that had been given to Barrie's delightful fantasy.
 In like manner film adaptations of classic romances and novels invaribly convey a false impression of the book in order to cater to come assummed childish sentimentality or adult infirm- ity of understanding among movie audiences. Above all the directors in the studios are obsessed with sex. The American Authors league has already devised an ircn-clad form of contract whereby -oducers of plays are forbid den to change any scene. line or word without the authors consent Similar protection will probably be devised to cover the sale of screen rights
