Though this reply will not reach you for a long time, I desire to express to you my deep appreciation of your kindness, and, though I can hardly be regarded as a forefather myself, I assure you that I sympathize with you. Nothing would give me greater pleas- ure than to be with you on this day of your general jubilee and to talk over old times with you. One who has never experienced the thrill of genuine joy that wakens a man to the glad realization of the fact that he is a forefather, cannot understand its full significance. You all know how it is yourself, you can speak from experi- ence, In faney’s dim corridors I see you stand, away back in the early dawn of our national day, with the tallow can- dle drooping and dying in its socket, as you waited for the physician to come and announce to you that you were a forefather. Forefathers, you have done well. Others have sought to outdo you and wrest the laurcls from your brow, but they did not succeed. As forefathers you have never been — successfully scooped. I hope that you will keep up your justly celebrated organization. If a forefather allows his dues to get in ar- rears, go to him and kindly ask him like a brother to put up. If he refuses to do so, fire him.

A new | IRON MARGARET DELAND’S New Novel THE | WOMAN AY book by Mrs. Deland would be notable. But “The Iron Woman" marks an event in American publishing. It is more than a_novel, as we have come to know the word. Mr: pictures youth—dewy, virginal youth tendcrness and passion, its foolish obs generous impulsiveness, with truthful young people are wonderfully attractive in their perfect naturalness. She portrays the elders—people whom life has harlencd—with just as deep under- standing and sympathy. She has a way of pene- trating the outward husk of habit and &nding the living heart underneath. As for the story itself—it is difficult to speak of its beauty in terms of self- restraint. HARPER & BROTHER comicbooks s| -co
