little chin, most comical snub nose
and two cheeks as bright and shiny

Uncle Wiggily. "Does it bounce2"
"Does it bounce!" exclaimed the
Pussy Cat toy store keeper. "I'll say

She took the ball from the window,

A SMALL-SOULED ACT

tne privileges of artist and has ntmated that those
VINO oppose him are souls to whom the funda-
mentals OF art are closed book.
however it is very hard not to feel that Mr. Warren
mas made considerable of spectacle of himself
over and above all his fine phrases about art and
creative work there stands the great fact that his in
serlpton will help to keep alive old hatreds that ought
to be allowed to die
Ihe world has already outgrown good deal of its
wartime hysteria We know good deal that we did
not know dozen years ago We know for instance
that the German army collection of nearnate

crimes which we laid to German baseness were simply
the inevitable accompanlments of

keep them alive means to invite a repetition of what
happened in 1914.
Thus Mr.. Warren's inscription is extremely. unfor-
tunate Against the wishes of those who contributed
the money to restore this building he has made it per-
petuate an outworn discord. His insistence on the
rights of an artist has been very selfish and very,

THE FOLLY OF. CENSOR

The chief objection to censorship is that il doesn't
work nationally. Some time ago the papers were full
of the case of a New York woman, a serate grand
mother who sentenced to Jail for sending obscene
reading matter through the mails. This woman had
written a pamphlet education for adolescents
One of the people she mailed it to, shocked had her
arrested.
AT her trial it made plain that she had the high
est purposes in writing and mailing her pamphlet
That, however, did her good A jury ed the work

Yet here is curious thing. This man mailed out

The two are parallel. Each person. with the
best of motives, sent obscene reading matter through

The situation simply doesn't make sense. If the New

If he did not, she did not. That much seems obvious
Yet she was punished and he not.
That is the way censorship often works. Which, of
course is one of the biggest objections to censorship.

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN :

to attend the reception following
the wedding ceremony?
5. Are engagement announce
ments sent. or will notice in
the paper be sufficient?
A widow should use her late
husbands name, prefixed by Mrs.
Mrs. Henry Ward Allen. The
fact that she has been in the pro-
fessional wongd and that in that
world she has used her own first
name as part Of her name does
not make any difference in this
formal use OF her name. The an
nouncing of her daughters mar
riage is one OF the most formal
, of things, and therefore, for this
occasion as for, all other formal
occasions, she should use her
formal name. You know, dear
lady. that, as matter of fact.

"Ann / Too YOung9"

DEAR MISS EA1rLrs A2As
A certain young man I care
for is sick in the hospital. Do
you think it would be proper to
go and see him and TO write to
him and cheer him? / know he
likes me a great deal. If / do
write him, shall I tell him of the
things that happen at school
and things I do?
Do you think il I act "sweet"
and read to him, / will win his
heart?
/ am seventeen years old and
this young man Is twenty-three.
Am / too young for him? l love
him so.
/ thank you. A GIRL.
A bright little note from you
not gushing or sentimental, but
friendly-containing school news
and any other amusing. CHEEKY
items that might interest your
friend in the hospital would not
be amiss.
If he has shown his interest in
you by visiting at your home and
inviting you to go about with
him, and if he is not too seriously
i'll to receive visitors, it would be
a good idea to read aloud to him.
You might call at the hospital,
have talk with his nurse and
find whether she approves Of the
idea. You are not too young to
be his friend. But You will spoil
the friendship If you try TO vamp
him.
Unless you can keep to disinter-
ested generous friendship in MAX
ing your call at the hospital my
dear, it will be far better to dis
miss the idea from your mind.
Any scheme Of yours to attract
would be very obvious and might
disgust him. Men like to take
the initiative and choose their
own sweethearts.
