POETRY IN CHINA FOUND
IN STATE or GREAT CHAOS
Prof. Wu Mi of Using Hua Col
lege Sees Lack Of Rhyme
and Meter.

PEKING R.-Chinese poetry is in
q state Of great chaos. which Is partly
due to the revolution, contends Prof.
WI MI Of Using Hua College.
IT do not share the view Of the
modern school Of poets. who disregard
all rules Of rhyme and meter, that the
simplification Of the Chinese language
would tend to the production of better
poetry" the professor explained at the
Peking Institute Of Fine Arts. my SYM
pathy Is with those who try to express
modern ideas and thoughts in tradi-
tional forms of verse"
Prof. Wu Mi said that Chinese poetry
possesses double beauty, appealing to
the ear and the eye as well, this being
attributed to the popularity of the
Chinese script In which every charac-
ter is a symbol or o picture in itself.

nEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN:


~ /. am a woman recently
married, and want to have
some cards made with my new
name. Will you tell me, please,
if they should be printed or en-
graved?
2. Also what size card should
I get? G. F.
/. Indeed. am happy to talk
over with you this all-important
question of visiting cards. l have
been promising for some time to
write more about visiting cards;
so let's do it now.
Visiting cards should always be
engraved. 1t is the worst possible
form to have them printed. It is
much better not 10 have any visit
ing cards than to have printed
ones. If you leave no cards,
people may think that you have
forgotten them when you should
be expected to have them; but, If
you leave or use a printed card,
nothing that you can say or do
will explain such bad taste.
Really a plate for a visiting
card costs so little that one should
not consider having the cards
printed. Then, if you choose a
conventional form for your cards,
you can use your plate for years
and years. having more cards en-
graved from it. And the cost Of
the engra wing is trivial.

An Authority on the Problems OF
Love and Marriage


Love and Marriage
A CERTAIN witty writer has
( "A suggested that we should
have Love Week, just as we have
Apple Week, Safety Week and
Fire Prevention Week.
4 The idea is excellent. If for one
week everyone would study and
practice the art Of affection, what
4 transformed old world this
would be! If for one week every
husband would take time to tell
his wife he still loves her, and
every wife would try her best to
keep M her husbands illusions OF
courtship days as to her dainti-
ness, prettiness. sweetness and
charm! III children would pause
20 remember that their parents
really love them and wish them
well. and sweethearts would try
to appreciate and understand each
other-weIl isn't the experiment
worth trying?
whoever puts intelligence,
thought, taste, enthusiasm and
idealism into his work is an art
list. Why not become an artist at
affection by putting these quail
tiles into our friendships, affec-
. tions and love? It can be done,
you know. A very wise pro-
lessor Of psychology, physiology
and sociology says so. AS he ex-
presses it, in his learned way:

the learning process" and the
family is not exempt from the
mechanisms Of habit formation"
In plain language this means that
we can, by trying. become expert
at the art of affection. and SO
keep our family and our love
harmonious and glorified.
am thinking of one girl who
applied the art of affection to her
life at home with her sisters and
brothers, to her friendships, and
finally is using it to glorify her
marriage. I shall call her Anne
though that is not her name.
The first time Jack invited me

she laughed, that we were just
friends.
He came to see me often. We
grew to be good friends. Then
one night he told me he could not
see me again because he was
growing too fond of me and was
not earning enough money to
consider marriage.
He told me he had decided, to
stay away from me for a year. He
did not wish to correspond with
me or see me during that time.
He hoped I would accept the at
Gentions of other men. He said
he would devote the year to get
