McDermott, dramtic editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, has the following to say about telephone operators: “The idea of the telephone girl as an unlovely and exasperating crea- ture is one of the quaintest of con- temporary illusions. Her patience and urbanity in the face of insolence. wise cracks and excessive expecta- tions seems to me absolutely saint.- like_. It is_superhur_nan._ “To be blamed by loud-voiced strangers for errors not one’s own, to be held culpable for all the falli- bility of man-made machines, to be spoken to sternly by office boys and bootleggers, to be talked to habit- ually like a flshwife and yet always to reply with a sweet ‘Number, please?’ ‘Thank you’ or ‘I’ll give you Information’â€" that is a brand of self-control and miraculous civil- ity that is wholly amazing to an ordinary mortal. “We used to send children to school to learn ‘manners.’ The tel- ephone companies seem far more successful than the ordinary schools in driving home lessons in urbanity. Instead of sending girls to ‘flnish- ing’ schools, perhaps it would he better to let them be telephdhe Op- erators for a while.” After the Receipts (Meaford Mirror) A sleuth-hound from the govern- ment was in town last week, all ex- penses paid.

Harris wrote “After The Ball.” Since that time, he has made a great fortune by playing upon the heart-strings of the public. His hair has grown chalk-white. He is pass- ing into the sixties. He looks younger. “To stay young, stay romantic,” is his advice. “In the rapid-fire change of song tastes during the past quarter of a century, what has become of the lul- laby and the ballad?” the corres- pondent asks him..- “And the little I' -______-- group that once thered around the farm \{I pianoâ€"w at has become of it? ill the radio, the phOHOgraph. the autopiano make the American puhiic forget how to sing?” -â€"â€""â€"v w-â€" The grand-old-man of balladingâ€" the man who wrote “Just Break the N8“S to Mother ” “Wbuld 'ou Care?” “Hello, Central Give 9 Hem en ” and a great list. that haunts the memoryâ€"crashed his fist dram- atically upon the dgslg. “As long as there is love! As long‘ as there are sweethearts! As long as there are mothers, babies, ro- mance and headachesâ€"just so long will there be ballads and lullabies! . “You can give the people razz and Jazz, warm mammas and sugar pa- pas, blues and whatnot, but when the saxophone has tooted its last note, they’ll go to the heart songs for solace and comfort. Thing-two years . havo‘ “A good cry is as good a medicine as a good laugh. And there’s where the ballad comes in. and always will. They’ll still be. singing the heart songs when jazz is a curio in the museums.” “Have you ever st0pped to think of the number of romances your love songs have brought about?” he was asked. "Have I? My tiles are filled with thousands of letters that came in over the years. Letters from es- tranged couples, brought together after hearing a certain song; letters of newlyweds thanking me for my part in the romance; letters from heart-heavy folks. I sang over the radio a short time ago, and I still get. letters telling how the songs re- called romances _o_f yeaisgmie by. “That’s what I like to think about. Not that I’m getting old. It’s some- thing for the imagination to playT with. Think of thousands of peoâ€" ple you will never know and never see in whose lives you have played an unconspicuous, but very definite ”It” . . .. And in your own life? . lie was asked. The veteran ballad-master smiled. “I wrote one of my best love songs to my wife. I say one of my lbest, for it must have been pretty 'good. She married me. My chil- dren were brought up on my baby songs. - g .- l‘__n L.,-_-A “You see, I believe that heart songs bring a bond of sentiment in~ to the home. You’ll never see any home ties knit by hot mamma tunes. but a man and wife may have parted and, going to a theatre or lis- tening to the radio, hear a heart song that makes them stop and think. There is an immediate ap- .peal to the sentiment. They are re- } united. “Youth likes to danceâ€"and thus the syncopated tune. But youth must love and romanceâ€"41nd thus the ballad. N0, the ballad is not dead. even though it may seem at the moment to have been mispl‘acad: “It isn’t the moneyâ€"the material endâ€"so much. I could have retired. But writing of hearts and romance and love keeps me young. I’ll never quit balladingiill I die.” HEN FEAR TO BNTBB Wolves, so daring that they come right into the barnyards, are re- ported from Oso, Olden and Claren- don in the vicinity of Kingston. Reeve G. M. Drew of Olden brought to the. city, when coming to attend County Council. the hide of a wolfe measuring six feet from its nose to the tip of its tail. The wolfe was killed in the barnyard of Robert. Boles in the northern part of leo. Never before have the timber wolves been so numerous as this year. Every morning and night the howling of the wohes can be heard in Sharbot Lake, an unheard-or event before this year. and so ser- ions has the situation beconie that a hunt club has been organized at Sharbot Lake for the purpose of hunting down wolves. Already there are fifteen members signed up. Tales of their ravages were told by other members of the County Council. According to Reeve Flake of Clar~ endon and Miller, teamsters em- ployed in the bush are afraid to start out before daylight owing to .the presence of wolves in the fiicini'ty. Pleasure in Work (E.

In May, him a women men Marian Evans was married to a man named John Walter Cross Be- cause of that marriage. and for no other reason, the news of this man‘s death a few days ago, was consid- ered worth telegraphing to all parts of the world. For the woman whom 1 Cross married was George Eliot, and 3 George Eliot was one of the most 1 brilliant Englishwomen who ever lived. She became the wife of time: when she was 61 and he was to, and shewas even older than her years. She had nothing to offer him but companionship, and in return, he gave her a sort of idolatry, not tinged with jealousy. He knew all about her relations with George Lewes, indeed. all the world knew, and he knew better than most that his death two years earlier had de- stroyed her happiness. But they shared a sorrow. Cross for the death of his mother. and Marian Evans, for the death of her lover. She lived a but six months longer. and Cross . then dedicated himself to the task , of writing her biography.

Lewes had a .wife and three sons. They were not happily united. The wife was pretty and fun-loving. Lewes was homely. and though he was brilliant and ocur- *ageous and tentiler-hearted. a noted wit and scholar, yet he did not. make the proper appeal to his wife. Con- sequently, she eloped. Lewes gen- erously took her back. Then not long afterward. she eloped again. This time he determined to be le- gally rid of her. but he found that the law offered him no redress. By condoning her first offense, he had disarmed himself, and further of- fenses he would have to swallow. But he did not receive her again into his home. He and George Eliot had to work a little harder than otherwise would have been neces- sary in order to support her. A Great Sat Marian Evans went to London at the age of thirty-two, a cultivated. travelled, keen-thinking woman, but not .a novelist. to become assistant editor of the Westminister Review. ' Her early upbringing had been i rather Puritan, and she was by no means. on the surface at least, the sort of woman who might be expect- ed to bid defiance to the conventions and count all well lost for love. as the lady novelists say. In London she met Herbert Spencer, and they were mutually attracted. They agreed, however. that they were not 9 in love with each other and. there- ] fore, might see as much of each ,3 other as they chose. It was Spencer it who intrOduced her to George Henry t I I warn Lewes. He was at that time liter- l ary editor of The Leader, the author Ii of a novel or two. and much bril- i hant criticism. and also of the “Bio- f; graphical History of Philosophy” 'r and a text book on political econ- omy which remain standard works. Anthony Trollope said there was no man so pleasant as he with whom to sit and talk literary gossip over a cigar and a cup of coffee. He was a friend of the Carlyles. of Dickens. Spencer and the literary - lights of the day. He impressed n. Marian. Evans as a “sort of minia- Jt ture Mirabeau in appearance” when I she met him first. but later said u. that he won her liking in spite of herself.
