THE GRASS IN THE PAVEMENT "God," cried the grass In the pavement, "Am I not worthy of living, Who am green in the waterless places And subsist in the clefts of the stone? -Where the feet of the horses trample And wheels go passing and passing, Br strong desire of living I live, but am barren and lone! "Give me the fields of my birthright, The shade of the quiet cool places; There may I live to Thine honor, Abundant, rejoicing, full grown!" "Child," same the Voice in the stillness, "Know I not well thou are worthy, Thou who declares my glory Where dearth and destruction are rife? "Therefore have I set thee in lonely And parched and desolate places, And the weakest and least of the legions Placed in the van of the strife? "Know I not well thou art worthy? I have chosen thee over all others, Thou who art potent, unyielding. And strong in the fulness of life!" New York Sun. GAVE DINNER. Mr. and Mrs. C. A.

Miss Rhoda Porterfield of Indiana polis was the guest of friends in this city over Sunday. ABOUT STATIONERY. It is ill advised for a woman to use a pronounced style of stationery, but each year new styles are brought out which are not extreme and are therefore in good taste. Unruled sheets are always used, and plain white or soft tones of gray, blue, or possibly buff in a dull finished paper are in good form. For foreign correspondence or for persons who write long letters a thin paper is used with envelopes of the same kind lined with a very dark color which .prevents the writing from showing through the envelope. Monograms may be placed in the center at the top of the sheet or in the upper left-hand corner. Many persons have the monogram at the left and the address in the center at the top of the sheet. The marking may be in self tones, in colors or in silver or gold. Men's note paper should be simple; a plain paper of pure white, pale gray, or gray-blue linen, or bank-note varieties. He may, of course use the paper with his club name and address on it for social correspondence, but he should never use his office paper for this purpose. On his own note paper he usually has only his address in simple Roman or Gothic lettering, the stamping done in black or dark blue, or embossed in self tone. A crest should be small and placed in the center at the top of the page, where no address is given, and is usually stamped In gilt, silver, black, white or dark green. Formerly a most elaborate etiquette regulated the middle of the black border requisite on the note paper used by a widow, a parent, a sister, a daughter etc. But fortunately these rules are things of the past and nowadays It is considered better form not to parade one's affliction in this way. A black border matching in width that used on her cards is correct for the periods of mourning. As the mourning is lightened the block border becomes narrower, but it is appropriate for a very narrow edge to be used until the mourning dress is discarded. One who dresses in light mourning for someone who is not a very near relative may use paper with the narrowest border that .comes. Whaling is still a profitable enterprise in some parts of the world, though a few years ago It was believed to be on the point of extinction." A Scotch whaler recently declared a dividend of 34 H per cent. Norwegian companies are also reaping enormous profits.

MARJQRIE BENTON

A Former Resident of This City, Is Becoming Well Known as Writer and Public Speaker Poet of Charm as Well as a Novelist.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Marjorie Benton Coke, a native of this city, but long a resident of Chicago, is a writer of much grace and charm. She has recently had two novels published and both have been successful. Miss Cooke is versatile. A clever monologuist she has been in great demand for several years for drawing-room and platform entertainments and has also had issued a volume of this peculiar form of dramatic expression. And she is an admirable producer of certain poetic forms. Notably the sonnet. We no longer have poets of the grand manner. This is not the epic age. Its the paragraphic, the capsule age. People haven't the time, the inclination nor the mental continuity to follow very long. They yawn when they're half way through, flip over the pages, glance at the finale and go up stairs to dress. If wc have no longer the poets of the grand manner perhaps it is because we also no longer have the readers to complement them. The supply in the arts, as in other phases of production, conditions itself to the demand. It cannot be otherwise. There's a literary mart where wares must be displayed to allure. There's a public that must be satisfied. And it is fed sometimes by samples. Sometimes by goods marked down. And semi-occasioually on "all wool a yard wide," to slightly mix the figure. People learn to write nowadays. They teach them at colleges and universities. Never, perhaps, was there as much good writing, technically speaking, as there is now. And never, perhaps, so much that lacks the thing that makes it literature. There are many perfect literary skeletons with no flesh covering their antomical structure. No good red blood spurting from their veins. There is no better example of the manufactured writer than Rober Herrick of Chicago, formerly, or now, for all the writer knows, a member of the faculty of the University of Chicago. Herrick's novels are wooden, immobile. The machinery is perfect and you can hear it creak. Herrick's output is lamentably deficient in that subtle thing that you cannot define but it is recognized by either its presence or absence. There is, in short, a very high grade of mediocrity in current fiction. In verse-form, however, there is apt to be a poetic quality, even with the patently built up. Few persons essay the writing of verse without Its inner stimulant however banal or inconsequent the result. Marjorie Cook has the genuine poetic gift. And her little volume of sonnets "To Mother," (Forbes and Company, Chicago, paper covers, fifty cents), is a source of pleasure to the student of contemporary literary product. The sonnet, while most frequently essayed, is the most difficult form of poetic expression. It must be good else it is bad. And, usually, very bad. But in its apogee, as tn Shakespeare and "Sonnets from the Portuguese," by Elizabeth Barrett Browning it has a fascination possessed by no other poetic structure. In "To Mother," is to be found much delicate nuance of tone, apposite imagery, fluidity of diction and melodic sound. But its appeal lies in its subject universal to the human heart and the compellingness of its sentiment. The series opens "O lend me, Ariel, thy filmy wing "That I may tread the pathways of the sky, . "Peep through the fingers of the dawn, and try "To teach my muse new vistas, ere I sing. "I'd chant no marching song for warriors' feet, "No 'Laus Deo' shall my voice intone "I would not, with its murmurs and Its moan,

COOKE AS A POET

"Transcribe the motley music of the street "These mighty themes I leave to mighty art; "Some stronger voice than mine must sing their praise "But I would music In some simple lays "The gentlest passion of the human heart . "I, gaining strength from one note to another. "Would bare my soul in love song to a mother." And in the following is found ex quisite imagery: "I would not have my life blaze like the sun, "To light the world and. dazzle with its glare; "I'd rather be the flow'r in Night's dark hair "The twilight star, that shines when day is done. "I would not have my life a river. mired "With ships of many cargoes, and much gold; "I'd be the mountain brook the cold, "Clear waters of refreshment for the tired. "I would not have by life a hot high way, "Resounding with the tramp of human feet, a "The market place where all the passions meet, "And even children have no time to play, "Nay, I would be a path up to the crest, "A ribbon stretched across the hills of rest." "The Twelfth Christmas," by Miss Cooke, an advance copy of which has reached this office (Forbes and Com pany, Chicago, fifty cents), is a narrative in verse whose sub-title is "The Christ Child's Revelation." and is written in the form of a play with three characters "Mary, the Mother of Jesus," "Marah, a little Child." and "The Christ Child," having for its mise en scene "Joseph's cottage in Nazareth." This is a beautiful idyl in verse, symbolic in figure, and with a convinc ing pastoral quality. It draws a picture whose outlines are limned vividly and yet with delicious softness of color. Its theme is the dawning of his fated destiny to the Christ Child, his childish shrinking from its tragedy, his awe that the prophecies of the saints are to be fulfilled in his person and his final acceptance of its portentousness. The writer has made a sad and appealing figure in this little boy of tewlve who hates to be "different" from the other children and asks why. "Mother, why am I different from the rest?" "What dost Thou mean, my Son?" "Dost thou not know "Why I am so unlike the children here "Who hurt things, and who fight and sometimes kill? ECZEMA STOPPED FOR 10 CENTS.

"I am afraid of pain I am afraid." Incidentally there are two charming little songs one a lyric and the other a witch-thing both sung by Marah, the little girl of the story whom Jesus protects from her childish tormentors. The author has in tnese two small volumes demonstrated her poetic talents, which are of a high order, and has, also shown the scope of her artistic gifts. Miss Cooke, by the way, is an ardent supporter of the "votes for women" propaganda, her spirited defense of the women who are encouraging and adopting its tenets against the hackneyed anathemas of some men, more or less conspicuous in the public eye, having been reproduced in this paper a week or so since from a Chicago journal in which they appeared. Miss Cooke has a number of engagements the coming season to speak on behalf of the 'suffragettes" and that she will do so with convincing ardour, no one doubts. This writer is not only gifted but has a charming personality and is beautiful to look upon as well as agreeable to read after. Her recent novel, Dr. David, has sold many editions.
