THIS AND THAT


| ''Afoot and light-hearted, / take to the
| open road
| Healthy, free, the world before me
| The long, brown path before me
| leading wherever / choose"
| So begins Walt Whitman's "song
| of the Open Road" first published in
1856, but as alive with vigor and ele.
mental poetry today as then.
This is the sort Of poem the world
needs when Spring bursts unexpect.
| edly upon it. sending fiutters of haopi-
ness down sensitive spines, causing
birds to redouble their vocal outpour-
ings, making life and love more real
to mankind.
This Is the poem for those who stay
too much at home, who need urging
before they will walk much. who nat
urally prefer the indoors to the out
doors.
The strange thing about the poetry
Of Walt Whitman, one-time Govern
ment clerk, is that the very audience
he wrote for and longed to please
passes him by. never knowing SO
much as his name even, while those
he slightly scorned are those who buy
his book. read his poems and keep his
name alive in the land.
So no man can know when he writes
10 whom he will appeal
Whitman sang of the manly, out-of-
door Iife but the lumberjacks and the
trappers know him not. Their poet
is rather Robert Service. The philos-
ophying of old Walt would leave them
cold were they to read it, which they
never do If you spoke of him, they
would think you meant Walt Mason.
This is the anomaly of the life and
work of q man who attempted to write
for the masses and succeeded in writ
ing for the few. Through his failure
he attained glorious success.
Il u *
"Henceforth / ask not good fortune;
/ myself am goodfortune.
Henceforth whimper no more, post
pone no more, need nothing,
Done with indoor complaints, IL
braries. ouerulous criticisms.
Strong and content, l travel the open
road"
Now, there is get-up.and-go to those
lines, call it what you will-either
prose, or poetry, or poetry in prose
form.
Those happy souls who are, in
themselves, strong and content will
acuuiese, while those who lack these
qualities will find, as they read, that
some pale reflection of them jumps
from paper to reader.
This is the best words can do.
Words cannot, except upon occasion.
take unto themselves wings and
bodily fly into the hearts and souls Of
men. They do possess, however, a
strange power, sort Of radium
energy, which glows forth in silence:
1.-THE earth, that is sufficient,
| do not want the consultations any
nearer,
/ know they are very well where they
are,
I know they suffice for those who be-
long to them"
A man feels that way when he is
happy, and care-free, and is out in
the sunshine, and has no business
worries, and the shots are falling
well from his golf stick.
IT is simply Emerson drawn through
coffee mill or corn shredder. Whit
man got most Of his ideas from the
more suave Emerson, then recast
them to suit himself.
Having subjected. Emerson's ideas
to this vigorous treatment, Whitman
served them up in what he himself
called his ''barbaric yawp."
II you do not like ''yawping," you
will not care for old Walt.

Pointers to
DiStinCtiUe
Decoration
BY VALERIE VANCE
~ es r..4


The most prevalent error in deco
ration is the wrong wiring of pic
lures. To hang them correctly with
two instead of one wire Immediately
gives the room an air of rest, OF
rightness. This is not mere idiosyn-
cracy. The principle is that two
wires, on square or oplong picture,
parallel with the sides of the pic
ture, do not attract the eye up to
central point as does the wrong
triangular wiring. The mechanical
means of hanging a picture should
be subordinate to the picture itself
or such wiring defeats its purpose.
Shawls Help
Another means is a wall hanging
of Paisley shawl or of some rare
old silk, perhaps a grandmother's
silk shawl, creamy with age, val
liable thing that in the effort to
bring beauty out of a plain wall
may better grace it hung in slight
folds at the head of bed than go
to pieces folded away in cedared
box, its beauty unenjoyed. 1t may
be one of the very inexpensive cot
ton painted cloths of India, now
frequently adapted as coach or bed
covers. In the center of the latter
may be hung a mirror and beside it
paired candlesticks. Below may be
only a day bed but the grouping
is most effective. Wall hangingS
need not always be tapestries.
Tables Distinctive
Bare tables, with interesting tops,
or without, are distinctive because
bare, bare of spotting doilies and
mats, suggestive Of business and too
contrasting, if white; bare of too
many ornaments that rob the tables
of usefulness. One table, but not
all, may be absolutely bare, awaiting
any emergency of afternoon tea,
sewing or card playing. With others,
baroness is a comparative term. No
look of furniture collection is de-
sired.
Lamps, how they do improve a
room! A number of them add a
look of luXuriouSness, comfortable
living, cozy, intimate feeling.
Color, choice in ornaments which
may show originality, and their
placing, flowers or berries, and
hanging shelves are other little
potent ways of gaining that rare
quality of distinction.
