Unable to hide her anxiety any\nlonger, a chambermaid of Madame de F. con-\nfessed that she had had, twenty years ago, an\nillegitimate child and that that child was fighting\nin the Argonne.\nThen, as Madame F. reproached the girl for\nhaving remained silent so long and was consoling\nher by reminding her that her own son was also\non the firing line. \"Oh! madame,\" answered\nthe maid, \"it is not the same thing; my boy by his\nfine behaviour has given me back my honor!’’\nLasting remorse, humble pride, patient wait-\ning. That is the real French woman.\n\nBEING HUMAN IN NEW YORK\nA company of Irish players—amateurs—have\nbeen giving performances at the Neighborhood\nPlayhouse on Grand Street. When reaching\nthe theater from the Third Avenue elevated one\nhas to walk several blocks down this densely\npopulated street. If you are walking—as is prob-\nable—at the gait of a man who has to catch a\ntrain or make an appointment you will feel\nannoyed at the leisurely pace of the people in\nthe street. While you dodge in and out they\nare strolling slowly up and down or chatting on\nthe door-steps. They are going nowhere.\nThey are in the street for no purpose but to take\na breath of air. Husbands and wives walk arm\nin arm. Such things are not done on Fifth\nAvenue. They impede speed—and besides one\nshould not display affection in public.\nWhen the curtain falls at the end of the per-\nformance you notice that three plays—six acts\nin all—have been played in the same settings.—\nThe plays violate the rules of dramatic construc-\ntion. The actors know little of the laws of\nacting. Yet they hold your attention and inter-\nest, and when you reach home you feel re-\nfreshed. You have spent a few hours free from\nrules and conventions. You have had a glimpse\nat real human beings, who have retained the\ncourage to be their simple selves.\n\nWATCH THEIR STEPS\nApollinaire that profound observer of the\nsuperficial brought to artistic significance the\nsqueaking of the “new shoes of the poet.”\nUnhappily we have no poet in New York who\ncould sing of the forms of the shoes that women\nFor the first time the spirit of modern art has\nbeen genuinely manifested in this country.\nWomen’s shoes reveal a new mentality at\nwork.\nThey break away from convention. They\ngive the pleasure of the unexpected.\nThey are the expression of a love of dishar-\nThey have no rhythm.\nThey have no balance.\nThey synthetize the abstract.\nAnother profound observer of the superficial\nsaid that perhaps the spirit of modern art having\nfailed to reach the heads of the Americans is\ntrying to get into their feet.\n\nA BUNCH OF KEYS\nJ.

Too far-sighted and too aware of his own\nworth to lose either his optimism or his efficiency\nduring the many years of constant unintelligent\nattack, too preoccupied by important events\nto heed the yelping of the yellow journalists of\nall shades that have constantly hounded him,\ncertain that those who cried out against him\nmost were those who most needed his wisdom,\nhe has gone on working, meeting all hindrances\nand difficulties, lastly, turning into the country's\ngreatest good the present cataclysm that might\nso easily have been its ruin.\nIf we wish to find the greatest imaginative\npowers of our country, do we think of our artists?\nThe question is almost ludicrous when we com-\npare the realized imaginations of the artistic\nand the business world. Where is our most\neffective, our most adventurous thought? Who\ncreates and guides and supports our universities,\nour charitable and artistic and scientific en-\ndeavors of every sort? In short who is the only\nman without whom we could not get along,\npoliticians, social workers and college professors\nnotwithstanding? Finally, if wrong has been\ndone, who has been and will continue to be the\nonly man with sufficient knowledge to remedy\nthose wrongs? The answer to all these ques-\ntions is too obvious. Our social structure may\nbe a machine that is clumsy, inefficient, anti-\nquated, but verily it hath its god."}]}
