Pre-Views

ARTHUR GUITERMAN wrote the
libretto for the new all-American
opera, with music by Walter
Damrosch, which was produced
recently. 1t is the classic story of
''The Man Without a Country.
Guiterman is one of Americas
most popular writer's of light"
verse, but underneath the rip
pling rhythms, the clever rhymes
and the humor there is often a
kindly but deep philosophy. He
likes especially to point a satiric
finger at faddists, posers, snobs,
and pretenders generally.
His most famous poem,
"Strictly Germ-Proof," was a
rollicking bit about an "antisep-
tic baby and prophylactic
pup" This poem has been read
around the world and translated
into Esperanto.
Six people have liked it so we'll
that they have claimed it as their
own. One man sold it, as his
work, to the ''New York World"
two years after it had appeared
in ''Woman's Home Compan-
ion," and was so determined to
prove that he was the author
that he forged "a&idavits."
On page II of this issue you will
find some delightful little verses
written by Guiterman especially
for THIS WEEK.

elevating and they were never pro-
tective.
Ihave listened to young people refer
to their fathers as "Old Bozos," "The
Old Dodderer." How often have you
heard a child in his teens say to his
father, "But you can't understand.
You don't know what's going on" And
yet that apparently stupid father is
man of the world, who we'll knows
what is going on, and who can earn his
way and buy leisure for the know-it-
all son. And that son has never done
a thing to justify an assumption that
he does know it all.
OF course, this is an old quarrel -
as old, l suppose, as the human race.
And sometimes it is a gentlemanly
quarrel with plenty of give and take
on both sides, and sometimes it is an
ugly, brutal quarrel, with one harshly
pounding on the other. You remember,
in the "Barretts Of Wimpole Street."
what a hard time Elizabeth Barrett
had. Now it is reversed. Now the
young are pounding down their parents.
And the young have terrific ad-
vantage. For their parents love them
and it is so hard for loving parents to
be unforgiving - particularly in
time of confused manners. So the young
lady goes out to movies and walks in at
A.M., and resents that her parents
have sat up, waiting and wondering.
1t is so hard for that young lady to
realize that mother and father can live
through every moment between the
closing of the movies and the return
home They know exactly what hap
pened, without being there. For they
had been there y years and years ago.
And they know the consequences.
And when the young man comes
home and his father says, "You can't
burn the candle at both ends," the
young man is angry and he says some
thing that hurts Dad like thousand
scorching flames. But it is true: 'You
can't burn the candle at both ends"
What is more, you can't do indecent
things and always get away with it.
1t would never have been the funda-
mental law of all civilized people to
"Honor thy father and thy mother"
if trial and error had not taught man
kind that therein lies the greatest
wisdom and security.

len years ago novel called
"The Hounds of Spring" was
heading best sellers in the United
States. 1t was written by girl
of f23 who had been expelled from
Cheltenham for pawning a pair
of stockings and invited to leave
Oxford because she wouldn't
study. Sylvia Thompson was gay
beautiful, feminine, with a taste
for dancing, travelling, ice cream,

and paintings by Whistler.
Since this first successful novel
she has written eight more, and

whose walls were literally pushed
in by bees. 1t has been unoc-

which time the bees had chosen
hollows back of the stones as
storage places for their honey.
Finally the weight of the honey,
amounting to tons, broke through
the inner plaster, so that the walls
had to be taken down. Most Of
the honey was not in a condition

HE pendulum OF manners swings
back and forth over the centuries.
There are long eras of peace
and prosperity, such as Victorian
England knew, when men live orderly
lives. Then come wars. Then come
revolutions. Manners become con-
fused; life is disordered.
1t is curious that no matter how
much history we study, we always for
get that this swing of the pendulum is
cyclical and recurrent. We forget that
many of the suggested experiments in
the manners of today have been tried
before and they have failed. For what
are traditional manners? Where do
they come from' How do they arise?
Will Durant wisely says in his
"Story of Civilization" that "old and
basic customs represent a natural
selection of group ways after centuries
of trial and error"
And that is very sound statement
of fundamental truth. For the human
race seems to try everything. Some
times we are modest; at other times,
we thrill at exhibitionism. But taken
all in all, the human race prefers
modesty to exhibitionism. We speak
we'll of the girl who can still blush. We
dislike the girls who pose in semi
nudity.
We call one good manners; we call
the other bad manners. And politics
and commerce may for a time lead us
to believe that our tastes have changed.
But somehow we come back to tradi-
ton. Every age of jazz has been fol-
lowed by an age of Victoria.
And that brings me to the relations
of parents and children. When l re-
turned to the United States, after a
prolonged absence in China, the first
strong impression of new America was
the disrespect for parents. heard chill
dren call their parents by their first
names. asked about that and was
told it makes for closer relationships.
Somehow, it seemed to me that
either the parents or the children were
not their age. The kittenish mother
who tried to keep up with her coed
daughter looked very queer to me. She
was no companion for her daughter,
for true companionship between mother
and daughter must be elevating and
protective, and these mothers were not
