Dearest Phyllis—Pray remember, when

Of your presents for December (unlesi

Half a dozen smoking Jackets, thirty-

Of embroidered silk suspenders, forty-
’leven pairs or more!
That each year since I was twenty I've
received a paperweight;
Have pen-wipers, inkstands plenty, pa
per cutters—twenty-eight;
That I’ve Browning and I^ongfellow by
the hundreds—every kind,
Shakespeare—black and blue and yel
low, Milton till I’m nearly blind*
So there’s Just one present only that
I’m wanting. In this year
Of my bachelorship so lonely—that’s
yourself, my Phyllis dear.
—James Courtney Challlss.

so, an a plain, every-day woman to a
plain, every-day tnan, nnd you will * leave In January, for Florli
learn the secret of hi* art. It I* sin
eerily—not sincerity In the big thing*
only; but In the details.
"You see, none of It Is conventional
singe property,’’ he said to me a* he
glanced proudly over the stage, on
which hut a few moment* before the
"Doctour" had declaimed the great
moral taugth by''Everyman.'' "Even
the little things are truly a part of the
artlHtlc whole. This stool, for Instance,
on which the priest sit* when ‘Every-
innn’ make* con tension. I* one I found
In Limerick, after searching diligently
for Just the thing that would lit. The
book In which ’Everyman's’ reckoning
Is mode Is copied from one which may
be seen In the Bodleglan library at Ox
ford."
And when I took the volume In my
hands, there, verily, was Just such
parchment, such old, yellow parch
ment, a* Adam might have kept hi*
diary on. Even the orange tree* are
real—that which you never hoped to
aee outside of Florida or Paradise.
Mr. Greet believe* In the theater for
children. "This,” he *ald, "I* my go*
pel. I have found that children are
most wonderfully appreciative of
Hhukespeare, nnd I believe that they
should be eont to see It whenever op
portunity afford*. , Why, It gives them
a basis for culture, nnd formulate*
their taste In tt*s* things as nothing
else ran." In speaking of the number*
of school children In the East who have
attended the performances of "Every
man" and the Elizabethan presenta
tions of Shakespeare, Mr. Greet re
marked: "I believe that this Is the
surest. sign of educational progress.
When the curriculum of a school em
brace* the best that comes along In the
way of drama nnd art nnd music, when
these tldngs conic to be considered ns
necessarily n part of education as Is the

Sirs. Vendery Akin has returned from
K e e ly C ompany
algebra or the geometry lesson, why,
then, we are getting along."
Asked what had Influenced him to
make such radical departure from con
ventional presentations, and to create
for himself a place so unique in the
theatrical world. Sir. Greet only said:
"I was nearly thirty before I became
Imbued with a desire to do these thinqs
differently. I had been for some time
on the stage, and It seemed to me that
I was vegetating Instead of developing.
So I became my own manager, and—
that |e all there Is to It." But, of
course, there is much more, though
Mr. Greet himself would be the last
person to tell It to you.
One may summarise hts work by
saying that his art Is perfect nature,
feel that we must live the lesson It
teaches, because It has made Its ap
peal, not more as a wonderful piece of
art than as a human truth. S. A.
