The fear of restraint is named as a prime element in the Russian character, as analyzed by A. G. Tolfree in the "Atlantic." Two somewhat amusing illustrations of this fear are given. "An intelligent, cultivated Russian woman pleaded for hours with her fourteen-year-old daughter to promise solemnly that she would never marry. Her own marriage appeared to be happy enough; her objection to the possible marriage of her daughter was that she would not be always and perfectly free to do as she pleased." A Russian man's reason for choosing the celibate life was similar: “[ could never think of marrying,' said old Prince G- 'for I know what my fate would be. Every Russian lives under his wife's slipper.""

The demoralizing effect of this Russian philosophy, alluded to in the above paragraph, when put in practice, was effectively dealt with in Mr. Ellis's article on "Gassing' the World's Mind" in The Outlook for April 24, an article now reprinted in på.nphlet form.

An American contribution to the matrimonial problem outlined in the foregoing quotation from Mr. Tolfree's article is as follows, from the pen of a woman contributor to the "American Agriculturist." "I have a neighbor," she says, "who never does outside work, never carries wood or water, and her husband helps with the washing, etc. If she doesn't feel like getting breakfast, he prepares it himself. I don't think her home is more happy, neither do I think her husband loves her one bit more, nor as well as some other men do their hardworking slaves of wives, but I do know that this woman looks years and years younger than other women of her age.' The kind treatment" that this unusual farmer's wife receives has made her a bit selfish, her neighbor declares, but she thinks that in that respect honors are easy as between her and the man who expects his wife to drudge till her youth and good looks are all gone.

[ocr errors]

The kindly farmer spoken of above has a match in a man at the front who, according to an English paper, was detailed to the K. P. (kitchen police). He wrote home: "Dear Mother-I put in this entire day washing dishes, sweeping floors, making beds, and peeling potatoes. When I get home from this camp I'll make some girl a mighty fine wife!"

The black soldiers knew that they were on their way abroad, a "Collier's spondent says. They were a solemn-looking lot. A minister stepped out to the edge of the embankment overlooking the road down. which the Negro troops were marching, and called out, shakily, "God bless you, boys! Good-by! God take care of you, boys!" They answered, in turn somewhat huskily, "Thanky, parson. Thanky, suh !" And another white man, a South Carolina soldier who was standing by, said: "They're certainly good soldiers. I never thought to salute a nigger, but I've been glad to return salutes to those boys. If they die in France, they're going to be just as dead as any of the rest of us. I've been changing my mind awful fast in the last two months." The pull of comradeship in this war is being felt in unexpected places.

"It was when I was a very young man that I grasped one secret of salesmanship," says H. J. Barrett in a new book called "How to Sell More Goods." "I found myself at noon in a little trade center that

WAY

lacked a restaurant. I asked a push-cart man the price of three bananas. Without replying, he selected three, put them in a paper bag, and proffered them, saying, Tenna centa.' You see, by assuming that I would purchase, he exerted a sort of moral pressure which helped to close the deal. The idea can be applied in a variety of ways. For instance, in seeking to secure an appointment with a man, I don't say now, When can I see you?' but rather, Shall it be morning or afternoon-and will tomorrow suit you?"

Under the head of "The Silence Cure" the above-named book says: "How can I meet this case?' asked a young salesman. 'I'll succeed in securing an audience, somewhat against the will of the prospect, perhaps, and he, to evince his resentment, will sit at his desk, reading letters or the newspaper, leaving me in the position of talking to a dummy. What should I do?' Cease talking and wait for attention,' is my answer. Just sit there, calmly, impassively, unresentfully, but with an air as though you meant to sit there until the crack of doom if need be. Nine times out of ten he concludes that the easiest way out of the difficulty is to hear your story and turn you down. Well, all you're after is a hearing. Silence will give it to you.'

A subscriber sends the following clipping from a Sunday-school quarterly: "A home department of thirty members was organized last January in the Sunday-school of St. Andrew's M. E. Church. ... Mrs. W. J. Smith, its superintendent, is taking up the work with the enthusiasm that precludes success." (Italics ours.)

Anglicized French words get queer twists of meaning and pronunciation in these United States. "Fiancé" sometimes masquerades as "finance" in pronunciation; and as to meaning, one misapprehension is indicated in this little experience quoted in a current magazine: "Virginia,' said Mrs. Smith, have you seen Miss Edith's fiancé?' 'No, indeed, ma'am,' said Virginia; 'hit ain't been in de wash yet.'

"Littell's Living Age," which was somewhat more popular with an older generation of readers than it has been with the present, is to appear henceforth under auspices which may again make it prominent among American weeklies. It is now to be published by the Atlantic Monthly Company, which, having won the hearts of a host of the more thoughtful readers of the country with the "Atlantic," is appar ently seeking new worlds to conquer. The

66

Living Age" deserves a longer lease of life and will no doubt secure it under its new management.

Apropos of the phrase "oblong square," quoted recently in this column, a subscriber writes that Sir Walter Scott, in the seventh chapter of "Ivanhoe," says: "The form of the enclosure was an oblong square, save that the corners were considerably rounded off." Our correspondent adds: An oblong square with rounded corners has always struck me, since I read it in school, as being a peculiar geometrical figure.”

With continual reminders, Johnny's manners had been improving at home, but at what a cost to his appetite when he had an invitation to dine at a boy friend's house! His hostess said, concernedly, when dessert was reached, "You refuse a second helping of pie? Are you suffering from indigestion, Johnny?" "No, ma'am; politeness."

WAR DON'TS

BY JANE DRANSFIELD, OF THE VIGILANTES Don't sit down and wish the war were over. Start out and work to get it over. Don't be discouraged. Faith is not a sentiment, but an act of will.

Don't wish you were serving in some different line from that you are in. You are needed where you are.

Don't criticise unless your criticism is constructive, and will help.

Don't listen to what ex-President Taft calls "whispering traitors."

Don't grumble at being asked to do something you have never done before Fall into line.

Don't forget that we are fighting for Right, and therefore must win. Insert in your morning prayer the now immortal words, "They Shall Not Pass!"

CURFEW RINGS IN ENGLAND

(From the London “ Observer")

For the first time since its repeal by Henry I the curfew law is revived in London, but in terms and varieties of application as complex as our civilization. There is the theater's curfew, the restaurant's curfew, the gas and electricity curfews, so far as they go, the shop-window curfew, and the blind and curtain curfew, on which a new order was issued only yesterday. . . .

The new curfew is really the drastic speeding up, under stress, of a long tendency to devote the night to its natural purposes. Dining once in Ivy Lane with some friends, Dr. Johnson was aggrieved when his friends rose to go at ten o'clock. Yet they had been sitting since three in the afternoon. Under the curfew regulation now impending these hours would have reconciled his inclinations with his patriotism to a nicety, for not only restaurants, but clubs, are to turn out their dinner lights at 10 P.M. It may have been on this occasion that the Doctor denounced the man who proposes to go to bed before midnight as a scoundrel. It was not until a hundred years had elapsed that Lord Campbell's Act, called the "slap you and put you to bed act," closed the London licensed houses at half-past twelve, thus saving a great part of the population from scoundrelism by thirty minutes. Inasmuch, however, as clubs did not fall under this rule, some thousands of Londoners were able to maintain their respectability until two and three o'clock in the morning, and in some cases all night. . . .

...

It seems rather a pity that the theater curfew, which was intended for half-past nine, has been changed to half-past ten. Theater-goers will now emerge on streets of Sunday quiet. The restaurants will have had their doors locked half an hour earlier. Going home will be a solemn and almost stealthy business.

[ocr errors]

Broadly speaking, the public evening will end at half-past nine, and throughout the "summer time people will be at home in the normal daylight of half-past eight. What will they do? It is certainly a delusion to suppose that they will go to bed. Even the children refuse to do that. Lack of locomotion facilities will tend to keep the parks empty. But there will be the allotments, the back gardens, and the doorsteps. We may anticipate, I think, a vast development of pleasant strolling and sitting-out life. The curfew will certainly not damp down the fires of sociability.
