Drama League Hears that
Literatutre Mothers a
Brand Ney Child
"I am neither prosecuting attor
ney nor advocate for the plaintiff,"
said Miss Kate McHugh, speaking
' of polyphonic prose before the
' Drama League at Hotel Blackstone
Monday afternoon. "It is a new
: literary form, and we trust keep an
open mind on literary . rms. We
must strive for new arrai tments ot
old ideas. Methods of de, 'ting life
1 change with the different i.nturies.
Every innovation in literature has
been fought bitterly, but we must
not begrudge new forms their day.
H they are real and not imitations,
they will hold their place."
The exponent of this new form
under discussion is Amy Lowell who
wrote "Can Grande's Castle," from
which Miss McHugh read "Hedge
Island." The reading effect proved
" to be musical, "orchestral rather
than melodic." The rhymes do not
run regularly. This polyphonic
form is the most elastic in literature,
. there being no guide for it, except
the good taste of the author. The
expression must be thoroughly fit
ting to the thought. It is a blend
ing of prose and verse form. The
rich tone of the cello, the fine vibra
tion of the violin, the flowing, yet
broken, chord of the harp can be
heard throughout the theme, as it
is read aloud with the right inter
pretation and inflection. '
A splendid gathering of 200 wom
en heard Miss McHugh in her de
lightful presentation. "One hundred
new members were enrolled today,"
said Mrs. Lucien Stephens, chair
man ', of membership. The total
of membership is now more than
300. Mrs. Samuel Burns presided
; at the meeting.
John Cowper Powys was an
nounced for October 27, and Lord
Dunsany for November 17, Mrs.
Burns said no definite word regard
ing entertainment of the players in
"Seventeen" could be given at pres
ent, but that there might be some
later announcement.

Amy Lowell Poet
Miss Amy Lowell, originator of
polyphonic prose, has been under
discussion in Omaha since her "Can
Grande's Castle" was announced as
the subject of Miss Kate McHugh,
who appeared before the Drama
league at the Blackstone hotel Mon
day afternoon, October 13.
'' When Miss Lowell first received
her name, she was practically
"made" so far as ancestry was con
cerned, for "the Lowell family
seems to have had more than a
normal quota of literary gentle
men." The first colonist, "Percival
Lowell," wrote a bit of verse which
he confessed, in writing, was not of
great value. There were others
after him, but the one most well
known is James Russell Lowell.
Miss Lowell's mother, the daugh
ter of . Abbott Lawrence, one-time
minister to the court of St. James,
was an accomplished musician and
spoke five languages. Although
Miss Lowell was supposed to get
her early education in the private
schools, her mother was her real
teacher. When Miss Lowell was
13 she wrote a little verse and per
haps thought of writing a novel.
What 1 with her tennis, horseback
riding and other healthy pursuits,
there was little time left for any
thing creative.
At 8 she was whisked through
Scotland, England, France, Bel
gium, Holland, Italy,' Germany,
Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Her
mother died when Miss Lowell was
21, and so she went abroad again,
spending a winter on the Nile and
the following winter on a Iruit
ranch in California. Summer saw
her abroad again, and during the
winter and spring of 1908 she went
to Greece and Turkey.
Miss Lowell finally came home to
Brookline and the business of writ
ing vers libre and polyphonic prose.
Her apprenticeship self-constituted
lasted for eight years, and then
Miss Lowell published her first
ooem in the "Atlantic Monthly,".
Two years later her first volume on,
poetry came out, and" the next year
she left for England.
"Swords. Blades and Poppy
Seeds," her second volume of poetry,
proved to be one of the events of
the year for poets and those who
did not care for poetry.
It is not strange, therefore, with
all the physical and meotal travel-
me Miss Lowell has done tnat tier
poetry should be the depot for all
the impressions stored away during
those years.
Miss Lowell once said tnat ner
aim in her poetry is "for greater
depth, beauty, sincerity and vivid
ness. To that end I am interested
n many methods of attaining it.
With a- little home care you can
often save the price of a polish on
the oatent leather shoes, uo over
the shoes with a cloth wet in cold
water. While still wet wipe with a
dry cloth, rubbing rf ntly to give the
polish. "
When making up new rod curtains
make the hems of equal width on
top and bottom. Each time they
are laundered put the rod through
the alternate hem. This will equal
ize the wear and prolong the use of
the curtains.
The Atlanta Equal Suffrage asso
ciation has arranged to open a civic
school for the lhstruction of the new
women voters of Atlanta in muni
cipal government, parliamentry
law, and the variety ot kindred
subjects.
And the Hairpni
Is King
Beans Just Guinea Beans
With a hairpin, all that is doable
can be done. With a hairpin, a
woman can pick a lock, pull a cork,
peel an apple, draw out a nail, beat
an egg, see if a joint of meat is done,
do up a baby, sharpen a pencil.
dig out a sliver, fasten a door, hang
up a plate or a picture, open a can,
take up a carpet, repair a baby car
riage, clean a lamp chimney, put up
a curtain, rake a grate fire, cut a
pie, make a fork, a fishhook, an awl,
a gimlet or a chisel, a papercutter,
a clothespin, regulate a range, tinker
a sewing machine, stop a leak in a
roof, turn a flapjack, caulk a hole
in a pair of pants, reduce pressure
in the gas meter, keep bills and re
ceipts on file, cut patterns, tighten
windows, clean watches, untie a
knot, varnish floors, do practical
plumbing, pry shirt studs into but
tonholes too small for them, fix a
horse's harness, restore damaged
mechanical toys, wrestle with' re
fractory bottle stoppers, improvise
suspenders, shovel bonbons, inspect
gas burners, saw cake, jab tramps,
produce artificial buttons, hooks and
eyes, sew, knit and darn button
gloves and shoes, put up awnings
and doctor an automobile. in short,
according to the "Farm Journal,"
she can do what she wants to; she
needs no other instrument The
hairpin is king.
Birch for the Bedroom
With prices soaring like birds on
the wing, we are perplexed as ao
what kind of furniture to choose for
the bedroom. It used to be that
there was no difficulty in finding a
suite of furniture within our means
but now sometimes the prices are
fairly staggering, and we pause and
wonder about substitutes, such as
cots and shirtwaist boxes, but we
find that they are soaring upward,
too.
And then, along about this time,"
we stumble into a delightful bed
room suite of chromewald birch that
has all the charming qualities of the
older, more expensive suites; it is of
good lines, showing plain, dignified
spaces; it is well designed and love
ly in color; it is substantial in char
acter and yet, if one may also use
this term, it is delicately propor
tioned. And the price is most mod
erate compared with other things
one sees.
This furniture of birch is com
ing into a well-deserved popularity,
not only because it is beautiful and
inexpensive, but because it is so
durable. It comes in a dull-toned
brown very similar to the darker
tones of American walnut, in a beau
tiful ivory enamel, in blue, in gray
and in a combination of either of
these with brown. It is scarproof
and can be washed with good, hon
est soap and water. What more
could you ask of furniture?
A bedroom is capable of being
one of the prettiest rooms in the
house if it is treated as it should be.
The bed should be covered taste
fully, and this usually means dis
pensing with the kind of counter
pane mostly seen. Instead of this
the bed should be covered with a
plain-colored material or a cretonne,
either unruffled and clearing the
floor by about five or six inches, or
with a flounce made floor length.
The pillow should be encased in a
daytime cover, either of the same
material or a contrasting one.
If covers are used on the bureau,
dressing table and chiffonier, which
are not at all necessary, they should
not hang over at the ends. A
wicker chair or so is a happy addi
tion to the bedroom, but rockers
have no place here. Cretonne at
the windows is not only effective,
but pleasing to live with. The
walls of a bedroom should be plain
and light and untrimmed. This
leaves opportunity for all sorts of

Mrs. W. T. Wiley is one Omaha
woman who has successfully solved
the H. C. L. It is the New Guinea
buttef bean which has aided her.
Just ' imagine one bean serving? a
amily three or four meals I You
can if you notice the above beans.
One of them measures 30 inches in
length and is 15 inches in circum
ference. The vines are seven to 10
feet in height. Mrs. Wiley sent to
sunny California for the seed and
really did not expect success with
them in our short Nebraska sum
mers. However, a glance at the
beans shows that this climate is suit
able for their culture. The butter
bean may be so prepared that it may
be used as squash, eggplant, pickles
or citron. Perhaps there are other
ways in which it might be served,
but as yet Mrs. Wiley has found
these sufficient.
gay and cheerful notes of color in
the hangings, the upholstery ot the
chairs and the bedspreads.
Seedless Jam.
In making seedless jam of black
berries a great saving may be ef
fected by passing the berries, which
have been previously cooked soft,
through an ordinary rotary flour
sifter.
In this way, with much less work
and without staining the hands,
every particle of the pulp can be
separated from the seeds.
To Prevent Burning.
When bread or pastry is in danger
of burning a basin of cold water set
on the upper grate protects the
bread and lowers the temperature,
and is much better than covering
with paper or leaving the door open.
