Drama League Is
Given Book on
Poetry.
Miss Louise Pound, professor of
English in the University of Ne
braska, has pres.er.ted 10 the Omaha
Urania league for reference at the
library, her book on Poetic Oiifcins
and the Ballad recently published by
the MacMillan company ot isew
York.
It il especially gratifying, say
members of the Drama league, that
the first contribution to the collec
tion being made by their educational
committe should come from a Ne
braska author. The theme of the
book i peculiarly adapted tj the
Drama league program this season
with the coming of Mine. Marie Ly
dia Standish on November 22 and
her recital of mediaeval legends and
story songs.
Pro' -.or Pound attacks the pre
vailing: ,o 'jn regard to the ori
gins of poett and especially of the
ballad. The fheory which the late
Professor Guinmcrc set forth with
such great skill and which is now
held by Professor Kiltreditc. and
other scholars is based on the belief
that the ongin of poetry is the com
munal dance. Professor Pound
takes the stand that poetry and song
are not necessarily connected with
dancing, that the individual artist
appears among primitive people even
in connection with communal festi
vals, that the poetry composed by a
crowd never really gets anywhere
without individual artistry, that the
English and Scotch ballads in most
cases never were the products of the
dance and offer no support to the
general theory, for they weie dis
tinctly works of art.
Mme. Standish will present .her
story-song in the picturesque cos
tumes of the various periods and will
be accompanied by Miss Emma
Menke, who has prepared the musi
cal settings using the ancient themes
as a basis.
Y. W. C. A.
One of the departments of the Y.
W. C. A. which is as busy all through
the summer as it is at any other sea
son, is the free employment bureau.
Mrs. Eva G. Guernsey and her as
sistant, Miss Beatrice Swanson, are
busy every day helping girls and
women to find positions of various
sorts, or finding for the employer the
right girl for the position he has to
offer.
Many requests are made for a
place where a school girl can work
for her room and board. A young
woman came to the employment bu
reau with the request for a place for
her younger sister. This young wom
an said she found herself handi
capped in business for lack of a high
school education, and she wanted her
sister to have the benefit of the high
school course before going into the
business world. She asked Mrs.
Guernsey if there were any homes
listed where the younger sister could
work outside of school hours in ex
change for her board and room, and
where the older sister could also live,
paying of course for her privileges.
Mrs. Guernsey will be glad to have
information of any homes in the city
where such an arrangement could be
made.

Education in Toys
Most every woman has a theory
as to what sort of toys a child
should or should not have. Usually
those theories are stronger and bet
ter defined before she has had any
""children in her own household. She
may have thought that she could be
a committee of one to pass upon
toys that came within reach of her
own children, but sin finds this im
possible. She finds she cannot, and
when it comes right down to it she
wouldn't want to reject some of
the less possible of the toys offered
by relatives and friends.
Still undoubtedly there is much
folly committed in the making and
buying of stupid and inappropriate
toys for children. The worst of
them all are the toys that are so
fragilely made that they break eas
ily. Many of the attractive trifles
for children that come to us from
Japan have this fault. They are
made of the flimsiest material, the
parts are attached loosely. They
are made to look at. not to be
played with, to be sold quickly for
profit. The child does not find pleas
ure in such toys. They are a con
stant source of disappointment.
One good way to select toys for
other children is to think of the toys
that have lasted the longest and
proved the most pleasurable to your
own children. For children are more
alike in these matters than we think.
Often with a little trouble you can
make durable a toy that is at fault
in this regard as it conies from the
shops. Toy animals often have
bead-headed pins for eyes. Even if
these are supposed to be secure they
t pull out with a little effort. You
might take them out at once and
make eyes instead by embroidering
little discs with black embroidery
silk.

manii.i What's What
By HELEN DECIE
A whole volume might be written
about telephone manners. One of
the most annoying offenders is the
man or woman who calls and, in re
sponse to the first "Hello," demands
peremptorily, "Who is this?" with
out even ascertaining that the num
ber is correct.
The courtesy to be observed in
telephone conversation is quite sim
ple and easy. The caller asks the
operator for, sav. "Atlantic, 1921."
The "party called" lifts the telephone
from the hook and announces dis
tinctly, "This is Atlantic, 1921" (or,
in an office, names the firm). Then
the caller asks, "May I speak to Mr
Mariner?" to which the answer may
be that Mariner is "at the phone,"
or is out, or will be summoned to
the telephone, as the case may be.
Thus, if a wrong number has been
requested or given the error can be
discovered in half a minute and the
right connection established. The
"Who-is-this?" callers waste time
for themselves, for those whom they
call and for the telephone operator,
yet they are the first to complain of
the service. Good manners secure
good service every time, everywhere.

Don't Be Narrow
In Your Social
Life
If you ate starting out in life with
the making of your social career
still before you, don't nuke the mis
take of being too narrow in your
standards. Remember that the big
ger the man or woman the broader
can be his sympathies and the wider
his acquaintance. And often a man
in politics or public life lives to re
gret very seriously the narrower so
cial standards of his earlier life.
Don't Be Narrow.
In certain small towns the forma
tion of narrow social lines is espe
cially prevalent. Sometimes persons
who call themselves professional peo
ple draw the line against those "in
trade." Sometimes the young peo
ple who have been educated in pri
vate schools look down on those
who have got their education in
public schools as persons of another
make. Sometimes it is a perjudice
against persons of a certain religious
denomination. In som? New Eng
land villages you- know the quality
all go to the Congregational church
and the common folk to the Metho
dist aiid then in another village the
situation will be turned about and
the Methodist contingency will look
with superior scorn on the Congre
gationalists. It isn't a matter of re
ligious principle, of course, and re
ligious prejudices of this sort almost
never are.
Strange Prejudices.

i
prejudice is built upon the way pro
.
pie dress. In one town 1 know of a
young woman who wears earrings
who was actually kept out of a card
club because of that fact. Sometimes
people make absurd standards of the
correct man's apparel. They seem
to think that if a man w ears checked
clothes he is hopelessly "loud," al
though they may have no distinct
idea at all as to what they mean by
the term loud. About all any of
these prejudices amount to is the ad
mission that you are so narrow in
your own outlook, so completely
self-centered and fastene'd in a rut
that no one interests you or gets
your sympathy who is not in the
same rut.
And this often happens: The boy
who went to public school or the girl
who went to the "common" church
or man who wore checked cluthes or
the woman who lived in an undesir
able neighborhood of your town
goes to some other place and makes
an enivable place for himself or her
self. People bigger than you are ever-

NINETEENTH AND
In Behalf of the
Domestic Rug
It is a mistaken idea to think that
all Oriental rugs contain better col
ors and better materials than do
mestic rugs. Remember that there
are Orinetal rugs and Oriental rugs.
Many individual Orientals are
reaping a fat harvest over the present
American crae for Orinetal vugs at
all hazards. Incessant demand for
rugs and more rugs has led to less
careful and painstaking methods of
Oriental rug making. Don't enter
tain the idea that just because a rug
is Oriental it is to be preferred to
anv sort of domestic rug.
it is a mistaken idea entertained
by many people who like to talk
furniture and admire antiques to
speak of "Colonial mahogany" and
to speak of any old furniture as be
ing colonial. As a matter of fact
there is little really colonial furniture

mahogany was most widely used
was not in colonial days but during
the early part of the last century. In
France the taste for mahogany fur
niture coincided with the period of
the dircctoire and the fust empire, a
period later than our own colonial
times. Most furniture actually i.i
use in this country in colonial days
was of oak.
It is a mistake to think that a
piece of furniture, because it is
"solid mahogany" or "solid black

perior to furniture that is made with
a veneer of line wood. Many ex
