*scuttle up to my room like a scullery maid.*
scritte up to my room.
You ought to meet my room, Preddie. Mother's hair is in blue and gold, and it's just darling! The wallpaper's kind of funny this sort of sense thing, you know. It's got a lot of little cherub or cherubians, whichever it is—without any wings but with bodies—in a woodland scene. They haven't anything much on but ribbons. It's all rather immodest, but really awfully sweet.
Oh, but he is so charming! It's a pity he has to spoil it by being so conceived. He is just lovely grandmother. The other day he spent two whole hours telling her how Dublin had changed and she was there years ago. Her reminiscences of Tennant was awfully disgusted because he wouldn't play tennis with her instead, but he put her aside with Bonnie Prince Charlie of his. He's so good at that lordly manners he doesn't get in trouble. Lord Chchesterfield's son doing laboratory work for his cor-respondence course from papa.
Maybe I am fooling myself, but it seems to me that he's more attentive to the older girls when he knows I'm around. I do believe he keeps watching my reaction to a lot of things he says and does. He may not care much about me but he does know I'm alive at least. A lot of times he looks at me rather questioningly as if I'm a phenomenon he can't quite understand.
I guess I'd better stop or I'll write myself out of stairway and stamps, both.
The way he always wears the colors that suit him best is just too well thought out to be admirable. Blue to match his eyes and gray to harmonize with blue, and black and gold to set off his hair. He's too clever to wear brown. It wouldn't go with his pink compulsion, but it would not account for it, and Edward is. He does get up some awfully nice effects, the. 'You've got to admit he has good taste. He looked so sweet the other night at the picnic in those gray knuckles and that woolly blue sweater. It is the kind. Fred, that would feel rough against It's the kind. And I wouldn't doubt that he knows that too!'
Mother feces especially grateful to him for saving her dinner party the other night. She just had to invite all the town's notables to dinner to show Jill's clever, Irish importation, but she didn't expect Mrs. Baylor and old Mr. Ensign to strain their quarrels about what athletics cannot not be.
Edward jumped right into the fight apropos of something the old Major said, and told about a funny thing that happened to him on the way over, until we were all gasping from laughing so hard. After that, somehow in his clever way, he kept the conversation going wherever he wanted it. Really I was feeling an grateful to him when he came back but when it was all tied around at all of his feet, "Do come and pat me on the tie. I well deserve it." Every time he does something nice, he ruins it with his horrific pinch.
Well, I don't seem to have written about anything much interesting. I guess I can come to your houseparty for the 4 of July, that is if you ever ask me. You never did, you know, and helped me do it. But I can't imagine you'll But I may come anyway if you don't be careful and invite me real soon.
Jim says he's awfully talented as an actor or something, as if that would excuse his vanity. He is a good dancer, altho' never would dance with him, not that he's asked me much. And oh, he can sing! The other night—that lovely, lovely tenor voice of his with the soft Irish-English accent singing, "There's Nothing Half So Sweet in Life As Love's Young Dream." I was so sweet. I wanted to look around for applause, it tried my best to yawn realistically. And then he grinned at me because he knew I was only putting on. Someway he knows everything. Oh, he makes me furious!
He won't be here much more than a week longer anyway, and then may he I can stop thinking about him. But if Ema tries any harder to fascinate him he may propose to her out of sheer weariness. Then I suppose he'll be around under my feet all the time as a brother-in-law. Well, why not? She will be very nice, and she couldn't get anything better. Why, why, how does a man who could be as nice as he could, have to be so sinnine?
Troubadour
A Review
The long promised, Kansas number of the "Troubadour" appeared last week with contributions from many of the state's well-known and favorite poets.

the term Kansas number, implies no more than the authors contributing make their homes in Kansas for it is not a collection of Kansas poems. The subjects vary widely, celebrating antiquity and modernity with almost equal pleasures. Hoopes, Rose Morgan, and Robert Orr write poems, Rose Morgan
but thesis is no strongly localized, native poem in the issue, although several, like Bornice Anderson's "The Coyote" and Edna Osborne Whitcomb's "The Jack Rabbit", carry the scent of the Kansas prairie. To some this failure to include a single example of such poetry will bring regret but it will probably be far outweighed by the pleasure given by the broader scope of the collection.
A proposes of this freedom from provincialism, the Kansas City Star in review of the magazine said "Trobadour has just emerged from the prolific Kansas fields with some excellent heaves of native poetry, and, strange to say, no among them!" The author with its companions on the design, drawn by Margaret Hill, a student at the University of Kansas, was entirely overlooked, it would appear.
The poetic form employed by the authors varies almost as widely as the subject matter: "AID contributed by May William Ward, editor of "The Harp," is a charming departure from verse forms, while Margaret Porter Briggs, Hugh Orr, and Madeline Aren are represented by members.

Fools or Gods
By Loi Peti
The Bozart Press, $2.00
Low Petri, as the title poem of her little volume of poetry, "Fools or Gods," suggests, is interested in the relation of man to the universe in which he finds himself. The image of his self-sacrifice is divine or ridiculous anthem.
What are we, fools or gods, who dare
Should no pace of change,
Miss Petrie writes on the modern world with its
machines, battlehards, and scientific discus-
sions. She sees the material structures challenge
the redwoods and the mountains and says.
Yet clutch no staff of grovelling prayer,
the lowest number of bury despair.
This road of winged and dazzling wonders
Men clothe their deeds and build their dreams
crude steel and stone
She is not blind to the past and the sacrifice of beautiful things that has been a part of this growth. In a poem "The Old Ships" she speaks of the galleys of the Nile and the viking boat that has indeed. In "Heres" she traces the noxity the past has been put aside, and close with a note of regret.
Behind them, centuries have furlled
Before them, a newer word.
Drew out the deathknell of their hour.
Rings out the death-knee of their noun.
The poems as a whole are characterized by a straightforward, simplicity of expression. She is frank, sincere, and free from pretension. Contrast and comparison, though her work is neither speeched nor dazzling, it is consistently pleasing.
Beauty of rhythm marks many of the poems included in the collection as in "Dawn Comes."
A tale of prancing pride and Before them a newer world.
Ah, earth is old in arts of singing
An, earth is one in a series of stages.
(blended with hast and fate forevermore)
But dawn comes like a pure beginning-
But dawn comes like a pure beginning.
A hooded unclosing of creation's door.
A number of discoveries.
While not reaching the heights of grandeur nor
the depths of passion, Miss Petri is a young Cali-
ficial poet of considerable promise.
The Veronas
By Adris Hamilton
The warm April sun entering through the large bay windows of the dining room, brought out the red and gold glitters in Ellinor Verona's wavy cheek-hair and made her half close her blue, eyes to shout out its rays. She stepped up on a chair to adjust the window shade which she was too short to reach; then rolled the sewing machine in front of the window, threaded it with red silk, and placing paper umbrellas into the making, with dexterity unusual in most girl of nineteen. She had acquired considerable skill from the experience of having made most of her clothes since she was twelve.
A sallow, dark-braided boy of sixteen entered and stood watching her. His extreme slenderness and his long face contrasted sharply with his sister's round, girlish features, while his expression showed traces of despondency, due no doubt, to ill health. However, when his blue hair was plucked, he was observed how absorbed Elinor was in her work, he seemed more nearly to resemble her.
Theodore's desire to torment Elmer was too great to be suppressed. He stylishly crossed the room, seized a selted paper-cutter, and placed it on her neck, at the same time opening and closing a pit of seats.
"Be careful with my hair," Elinor exclaimed, jumping up on an pleasing her hands on her head. Then as she saw the mischievous eyes of the offender, "Brother, how dare you? Wait until a person's busy; then scar她 to death!" See here, if I don't get along well with this dress I won't have time to make candy and take rides. I've got to have some new clothes and you know I won't get work this week-end. Mmmm, I'm ready to have a lot of meetings. I'll meet my friends but I do what she wouldn't try to entertain the whole town while I'm home for a short variation like this. I would like a little peace and rest."
"Oh, your back's worse than your bite," drawled Theodore. "Besides, you don't need that dress to wear Easter Sunday. You've got plenty of clothes. When a fellow doesn't get to see you except in vacations you oughtn't expect to waddle into the room. Come on at a night dance! I'd like to know where I come in."
"Included I won't," Elinor snapped. "Mamma asked Mrs. Lutes over and I promised to be here. I didn't come home to have dates, anyway. I came home today to run a run and shut up. I'll see you after while."
"Oh, come on, Sis." Thetole teased but Elinor interrupted him.
"I'm going to see if Mumma's ready to pin up the hem in this. She'd better be; that's her sole contribution to the good cause of her daughter's appearance, and she knows it. I don't see why she can't see herself, but then she's helpless as a baby, anyway, so we can't expect of her, I suppose."
She hurried upstairs to find her mother who, still dressed in a kimono, was sorting the contents of a dresser drawer. Mrez. Verona was a short, heavy woman, with wavy cheeks hair like her daughter's.
and brown.
"You better, Mamma!" Elmer inquired. I wonder if you have time to pin up this hem for me?" She put on the dress and handed her mother the pin cushion. "You asked me about your summer outfit," she continued. "Red and green are both awfully good this year. You can wear a green figure. It would go nicely with a coat and hat and you could have light stocks and blue shoes to match."
Elinor spoke with authority. She had planned her own and her mother's wardrobe for years. She had a rare gift for lines and colors, while her independent nature had quickly taken charge wherever her pleasure loving. Friended her husband, who by no means unintelligent; she read a great deal and was something of a musician, but she was too fond of bright colors to combine them with an eye to good taste. Moreover, she was extremely impractical. The youngest of large family, and always in need of the love of her husband upon others. After her husband's death, which occurred when the children were both young, she had permitted her mother to manage her business affairs and likewise to look after Elinor and Theodore. Her sole occupation was byying the boy, who grew into a daulette, spilled milk on her bed, and by his sister's funny, cheerful influence.
