LANIER'S STRUGGLE

AS poet and musician, as lee
turer and lawyer, as teacher and
civil service employee, Sidney
Lanier struggled to support his
family and to write at the same
time: His Imprisonment during
the Civil war left him with dis
eased lungs, so that like Poe, he
died in his fortieth year.
Born in Macon, Ga, in 1912,
the poet grew up in an atm0s-
phere of learning and refinement.
He. was graduated from Ogle-
thorpe college, where his position
as a teacher was interrupted by
the war.
Adversely seemed determined
to prevent his writing. Once he
wrote to his father that it seemed
right for him to devote himself
to poetry, having followed it SO
long with SO much humility. But
a migration to various climates,
loss Of property, and a family in
need were always to be cOnsid-
cred first. Lanier died in 1881.

Town people envy the farmer

envy city people the sights they
see.
When one has lost the capacity
to become indignant one is like
the shell of a blOwn-Out firew0rk.
A tightwad is endurable until he

No psychological bunch is as

Death Alone Is Certain
Death is certain; but taxes
aren't. They're always higher
than you expected.
What can you do well? Then do
it; and if the world wants it, il

If you could only be sure you
wouldn't need any baggage on a

THE shops are full of beautiful
1 new fabrics just crying to be
made up in smart new fashions
and these patterns make it very
easy to do your own sewing. When
you do, of course, you can have
many more clothes because it's so
inexpensive to buy your own, fine
quality fabrics-and then your
clothes, and your daughters, too,
will have that distinctly made-to-
order, well-ftted look that's more
fattering and smart than any
thing else.
For Large Women.
This afternoon dress is carefully
designed to look well on large fig
ures. The v-neck, cut in one with
the shoulders, makes your face
look less full. The short, ripping
sleeves minimize the size of your
forearm-and they're so pretty
and graceful, too. The skirt is
smooth over the hips, and the bod
ice has necessary bust fullness.
Here's a dress that will be your
favorite, when you make it up in
the prettiest silk crepe, georgette
or sheer wool that you can find.
For Slim School Girls.
Your daughter will be delighted
with the grown-up, slick look of
this basque frock, and yet it's just
as simple as a schoolgirls dress
should be. This is the style that

jumped to his feet, seized the child
from its mothers arms, and ran
toward the crag that overhung the
sea. For a moment Lady Mclean
could say no word, then she
shrieked for love of her child The
men heard and refined in their
horses. She pointed toward Ham,
ish now almost to the top of the
hillside overhanging the sea.
IA castle to the man who stops
him!" she cried.
Hamish Takes Revenge.
But they were too late. He had
reached the crag with the child in
his arms. Then Hamish called down
to them, "Let the master bare his
back and take ten blows with the
lash. And no stroke will count that
does not draw blood"
The proud Mclean slowly bent his
knees. The henchmen feared to
strike until Hamish called again.
The blows fell. Hamish raised the
child as if he would bring him back
to his mother, then with a voice Of
hate he screamed, "Revenge!" and
holding the child aloft, he jumped
over the crag into the rocky sea.
The proud Mclean lay on the edge
of the crag looking down into the
waters, while his wife lay weeping
beside him.
This poem by Sidney Lanier re-
lates condensed drama of the
days of old when lord held power
of life and death over his vassals.
In direct contrast to this poem is the
next selection.
To those who have seen the Chat
tahoochee river as it begins it's jour
ney in the Blue Ridge mountains Of
north Georgia, these words from
1.-THE Song of the Chattahoochee"
bring a vivid picture.
Poetry Animated.
"Out of the hills of Habersham,
down the valleys of Hall, I hurry
amain to water the plain, run the
rapid and leap the fall, split at the
rock and together again, accept my
bed, or narrow or wide, and flee
from folly on every side, with a
lovers pain to attain the plain, far
from the hills of Habersham, far
from the valleys of Hail."
Even written as prose for para
graphing, the words leap along as
the waters of foaming mountain
stream, eager with life. To Lanier
all the forces of nature were rev.
citation of the presence of God. AS
the river flowed along many things
tried to stop it, but it was the voice
of Duty which Lanier heard.
II am fain for to water the plain
the dry fields burn, and the
mills are to turn, and myriad of
flowers MORALLY yearn, and the
lordly main from beyond the plain
calls DER the hills of Habersham,
calls through the valleys of Hall"

peltS of every type are the rage.
The Importance of the jacket-with-
every-costume theme was definitely
stressed throughout the entire pro-
gram presented by the Chicago
Style Creators. There is this to OBJ
serve in regard to the newer jack
cts, they are inclined to drop the
bolero trend in favor of boxy
hiplengths and many take on the
very new dolman sleeve which
proclaims them of last-minute styl-
ing. The chubby jacket that you
see here is typical of the new trend.
The material for the ensemble is
green ribbed wooden. The frock be-
meath features the very new sailor
yoke. A gold belt adds the climax
ing touch.
Citing general fashion indications
stressed in preview showings, we
find that skirts for day wear are
short, fifteen inches from the floor
being the accepted length. Soft
bloused effects top the slim, straight
and short skirts.
In fabric treatments quilted de-
signs and appliques are widely in
use. Softness from draping, shir-
ring, tiny tucks and shocking is very
evident. The 1900 influence is seen
in dinner and evening fashions. Fab
RIGS are often the Louis XIV type,
most luxurious for formal wear, in
Guiding brocades, lanes, metallized
taffetas, velvets and moires.

bespeaks the continued Importance
of Persian lamb. Also it empha-
sizes the tendency to do exciting
things in the way of novel fur manip-

of the skirt. Wide bands of the
Persian also define the hemline and

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-After a gridiron season spent in conniving huddles that meant no good for the other fellow. the baseball moguls Will shortly swarm into New Orleans tor their winter bartering bee.
 Ambitious young men should ab- sorb a post graduate course in sales manship just listening to these clup bosses trading spawned outfielder with a reputable past for promis- ing pitching prospect and making the other guy believe he is getting the best of the bargain.
 The laughs that will echo through the corridors in late evening are the guffaWs of these successful David Harums who have put over deals that would make a shrewd horse trader envious.
 There1l be more trades than there are laughs in Hellzapoppin, too. For the National leaguers realize that their circuit is so evenly balanced that another first rate cog here or there may easily shove a team out front in 1939's steeplechase.
 And the American League first divisioners recognize they have plen- ty of bolstering to do if they are to stop the Yankees from fourth straight pennant.
 Many Trades Forecast
 Most of the swapping will take place at the New Orleans minor league meeting in early December. Any unfinished hornsWoggling will be looked into at the major league conferences a week later in New York.
 The Yankees and Browns have already conSumated one deal that sent outfielder Myril Hoag and catcher Joe Glenn to St. Louis for pitcher Oral Hildebrand and out fielder Buster Mills.
 The Cleveland Indians are ready to trade Odell Hale, hard-hitting infielder who doesn't swivel smooth ly enough on double plays. They're interested in Eric McNair of Boston
 Although Ben Chapman had one of his best seasons, hitting around .34O the Red Sox would consider a deal for him because they find thc outfielder too temperamental. The

Sex need pitchers. With additional tossers they might have given the Tanks a real battle last summer.
 A Detroit Washington swap that would send heavy knocking short stop Cecil Travis to the Tigers Tor several players is in the making. The Senators also would listen to bids for first baSeman Hank Bo- nura and outfielder Al Simmons.
 Giants Need Aid
 The New York Giants are in the market for a better first baSeman than John Mccarthy or Sam Leslie, and a second baseman as insurance if Burgess Whitehead, out all last season after an appendectomy, does not make a comeback The pitching problem is acute, too, and outfielder Hank Leiber seems likely to go.
 The Boston Bees are interested in Ieiber and might let the Giants have infielder Tony Cuccinello. The Giants would like to have Buddy Hassett. Brooklyn first baseman- outfielder, and the Dodgers are re- portedly ready to ship him.
 Jake Powell, Yankee outfielder, and John Whitehead, Chicago White Sox pitcher, are likely to be used as trading bait, as are outfielders Gene Moore and Vince DiMaggio Of the Bees.
 Pittsburgh is sure to make changes. Paul Waner, the veteran outfielder, is one whom the Pirates may dis pose of. Pie Traynor also would like a heavier hitting first baseman than Gus Suhr and a catcher who can sock.
 Nettled by the Cubs poor showing in tie World Series, Gabby Hart nett will be ready to hear proposl- tions. Pitcher Tex Carleton is one rumor says will go.

 A strong southeast wind was blow ing and intermittent squalls of snow and sleet kept visibility near the zero degree.
 Why Grounded
 Why the Patterson was grounded is a question still unanswered with the craft having been abandoned since shortly after it's frantic signals of distress and "one man overheard" were sent out Sunday night.
 The Steamer Alaska sighted the Patterson eight miles off her course near Dry Bay, Sunday noon, ap parently in no trouble, and in her distress calls, the Patterson gave its wreck position as 20 miles south of Yakutat," though in reality, she is ashore little over 50 miles south of that Gulf shore village. It. Cmdr. Ricketts said in a late wire yesterday that 'it is impossible to do anything for the Patterson, . and it is believed by air observers that salvage of equipment and what cargo she may have, will be practi- cally impossible unless a storm lifts the vessel again and throws her broadside to, forming lee for shore operation.
