brains-merchants, manufacturers, well-bred peo
ple'of all classes, men and women, too.
"The demand during the past few years for the
better class of magazine literature has been con-
stantly losing, as against the call for cheap litera-
ture."
"Was the war accountable for it?" we asked, in
what we religiously thought was a duty to try .
least to discover why such a state of affairs 'could
exist. It had occurred to us that in the midst of
battles and slaughterings of a world-wide nature,
that perhaps huMan nature demanded, in its weari-
ness, amusement and diversion in its reading, at
any cost.
' "Dont' think so," replied the aforesaid erudit
manager as he walked away to wait upon someone
whose trade was more remunerative than our own,
and we sadly departed, in the belief that the world
could not be growing better rapidly, when; such a
demand for cheap literature existed, while the
shelves 'fairly bulge with what is highminded and
good.
And on our further travels, we met a well known,
book man. We asked him if the line of talk we had
been listening to in the corner drug store was right,
for the book man sells all the magazines, too.
"Yes," said he to our query. "There is no doubt
about it. Our experience is the same. People during
the past few fears seem to demand amusement,'
diversion, instead of looking in their reading for
what is best, according to our highest literary stand-
ards.
This man diverted the conversation into other
channels long enough to tell us that the movies are
exerting a big influence upon our lives iii more ways
than one-and not alyays of an evil nature, at that.
"People," said he, "go to the movies, and see fine
surroundings in the stage properties. They see
something that looks good to tfiem and ask them-
selves the question:: 'Why can't:I have something
of the same nature in my own home?' And, forth-
with, they get it. And there are evil influences of
the sort, as 'well as good."
And the question arose as to whether the movies
were unconsciously influencing our lives as to read-
ing. Seeing the spectacular and the extravagant and
the exciting picture, do we unconsciously enter the
book store and demand the novel, or the maga-
zine, of like nature.
The wise book man said we didn't, but he didn't
speak with ,much conviction.
- The subject was unsettled; and we leave it with'
our dear readers, simply with the query as to our
reading, in these days of literary >lenty:

(As Tagore might have written it)
The light of the sun ripples like restless tiny shut-
.tles. weaving golden tapestry.
I have heard the liquid murmur of the river
through the darkness of midnight.
A."Your eyes are like two silver stars gleaming across
the desert of Tepantar.
Like pink roses .your cheeks glisten with the dew
of your sorrow.
My Heart cries out in pain.
(As Irving Berlin would do it)
Dry your eyes, my honey, dry your baby eyes of
blue,
You're my. sweetest, neatest and completest baby.
Weep no more, my honey, to you ever I'll be true,
We will live in Honolulu maybe.
Every time you cry, dear, there's a shiver down my
spine,
Every, tear that's dropping is more precious, dear,
than wine.
Take my ukelele, quiet all your fears.
You drive me nearly nutty with your tears.
(The version you would see in the Parisienne)
ljy heart is torn with anguish by your tears.
Deeply they sear their way into my bosom.
Wild madness courses through my veins-it burns.
I tremble and'my brain reels
As I feel the cosmic urge of your despair
Calling to me-ah, calling in the twilight.
The pearly gates of paradise 1 see before me,
In the sadness of your tears.
(Doctor Thomas Tovell again)
Weep, no more my gentle maiden, thy complexion
is awry,
T love not the topal dew drops hanging softly in thy
eye,
If they shoes are leaking, gentle damsel, can't you
take them off,
Alas, they sky is shedding water and my opera ha-
I doff.
Eureka, weeping maiden, won't you take this
golden ducat
And hie thee down to Sweitzer's store and buy thy-
self a bucket?A
(After the style of Amy Lowell)
She weeps,
Weeps on the floor, all over, gobs of salty moisture.
Weeps over her work
Silently and with distress.
She weeps and weeps
Time creeps
On she weeps
Silent tears,;
Sad tears,
