moccasins.
By and by it was time to prepare
dinner. Woksis' squaw had a tasty
shoulder of moose, or something,
to boil, but she had forgotten to
fill the water bucket and the spring
was half a mile away. Glancing at
the maple tree which Woksis had
slashed with his tomahawk, she
saw that sap had dripped from the
wound right into an earthenware
container that happened to be
standing against the trunk. So she
plopped the meat into this bucket
of sap and put it on tn fire to cook.
After a while Woksis came home,
beset with hunger. Dinner was set
before him. Behold Instead OF
ordinary ragout of moose, he had q
roast deliciously erusted with maple
sugar. He ate his fill, congratulated
his blushing squaw, and went down
to the corner to chant his praises
of the new confection which had
descended from the trunk of the
maple tree.
That, according to the Iroquois.
was the start of the maple sugar
and maple sirup business. And If
Woksis (to say nothing of his
squaw) has somehow missed the
fame that ought to be his. it is to be
hoped that he has at least fallen
heir to one of the snuggest corners
of the Happy Hunting Grounds. For
maple sirup unquestionably is one
of the New Worlds great boons to
suffering humanity.
All across the northern part of
the United States, in Vermont
and New York and Ohio and Mich
igan and elsewhere, production is
getting under way these days.
Woodlots are filled with the
steamy, sickish-sWeet odor that
drifts out of the shacks where the
sap is being boiled. Each maple has
bucket dangling from a little
metal tap. Once a day men tramp
through the snow to collect the
sap and carry it to the shed; and
out of the shed, in due time, come
cans of golden brown nectar.
| X X
No need to follow it any farther
to the stacks of griddle cakes
and the piles of baking powder
biscuits which it is destined to
garnish. That, thank heaven, is a
story familiar to us all. But as you
treat yourself to your first help
ing of maple sirup for the year.
you might pause to give grateful
thought to Woksis, his keen-edged
tomhaWk, and his resourceful
SquaW.

New York Day by Day
BY O. Q. Mcintyre

NEW YORK, April mo trade
to my notion is so tantalizing as
writing fiction. Columning, as ar
duouS as it often becomes, is
snap in comparison TO plotting, dia-
logue and continuity. L have just
visited a fictioneer who hadn't slept
for 48 hours, straining to take off
with serial.
'"LeffingWell handed me a letter
saying; What do you make of it,
Benson?' 1t was a treacherously
fogy night with a. few shadoWy fig
ures crossing Dunham Square" :"
I'd like to have a tenner for
every time I have set down about
that much, then torn it up and
gone out to play.
The first paragraphs of stories
started and never finished would
fill several Congressional libraries.
7 have heard that Clarence Bud
dington Kelland spent two weeks,
sitting at his desk five hours a day,
before he could round out an open
ing stanza. That sort of thing
is maddening.
Fiction writer's say that aside
from the travail of writing their
own stories they are weighed with
embryonics running in with rough
drafts" and ideas, which they de-
sire to be whipped into shape"
Whipping into shape is a part for
which few have the talent or in
dustry.
Bachelors, when they turn up at
parties, are so often asked why
they never married. I heard one
fellow laughing lightly, reply bro
midically that he had never found
any one who would have him. A
Miss Cayene-remember the fiery
tonged Miss Cayenne of Puck
jokes?-sniffed: He means he
never found any one good enough
for him" 1t was Charles Hanson
ToWne, steadfast and sterling bach
elor, I believe, who said he realized
he was getting more particular and
less desirable every day and had
reached the point where any pros
pect of matrimony meant coming
forward with a financial statement.

roundup the other day the governor
of an island down there said Car

matter for many.
I've often wondered why the
world has been so tolerant, puzzled
and patient toward the hideous
trend of art. One of my choice
Canvasses hangs at Tates in Lon

Indeed | believe it would be eX-
cellent to have an exhibition of
faVorite old pictures. There is
fine old steel engraving, often seen
in the rooms of western hotels,
called In Love. A couple beneath
the spread of a maple on a soft

The Benton paintings in Missouri
register the low estate of art, to
my notion. And then there is Mos
sow's proposed palace of Soviets,
a hideous conception as cold as an
artic winter. Those of us who love
twisting country lanes, the magic
of new fallen snow, gurgling
streams, the spreading oak and
thrushing spears of green, old book
shops and tumbly arcades, shudder
at such development. The art-mind-
ed attuned to Robert Frost and
Robert Blum may grow faint with
nausea at the Benton botchery.
The Bentons compared to the
Blums are like a piece of metal
furniture on which wood grain is
faxed in paint in contrast to fine
and velty rosewood chest.
And no matter what drift to the
satiny cocktail bars on the part of
Womankind, no matter what blush

the most modern and broadminded
