Of all that remarkable sequence of sonnet5 written by George 1\Ieredith, ca11ed · 1\Iodern Love. S"·inAn Excellent hurne selected so nnet 47 · as his favorPoem itc . And certainly if so generally accepted a ma ster of m~Iodi.ous verse as Swinburne put his stamp of high approval on a poem. that poem must have a real claim to excellenrr. :\Teredith's recent biographer, J. R. Prie st le y, says of the stanza. that the "range of the man who wrote this one poem is clearly heyond that of all but the three or four · g-rr~test poets in our literature." He al~o ralls attention to its "melodious fullness and romantic. beauty." The line s pre~ent a picture of an estra nged husband and \\'ife who for hut a mom ent seemed likely to reunite hut \\'hose likelih ood of reun ton was merely m.o men ta ry. \\·e sa\\' the swallow s gathering in the s ky. ~'\ncl in thr osier-isle we heard them tlOtSe. \Ve had not to look hack on su mm er joys.

Love. that had robbed us of immortal things, This little moment merci f ulh· ga Ye, \ Vhere I have seen acro ss the twilight wave The swan sa il \\'ith her her wings. ~ up to annex as little dust as possib1e is enough to prove that our ancestors must have been very queer creatures. Nowadays auto tourists are not so very funny looking. At least s.o far as costumes go. To be sure. one .of the auto womencampers is an alarming spectacle with her khaki blouse and knickers. This combination is often enhanced by a cap usually several sizes · too large. Little does she look like .o ne of the gentler and lovelier sex. A " ·oman of this genus when burned a deep brick red and togged out as detailed above is no sight to allure an ordinary man into courtship and marriage. Whether she is funnier looking than her sister of the ealier epoch must be decided by someone niore competent than the present writer. Does the T -T. \Y. C. L. company appreciate the fact that auto touring- calls for a special outfit? Especia11y for the so-called fair sex? A society helle can't go on a two hundred mile spin clad in ballroom costume. :\nd the cream that she applies to her fare is a prophylactic rather than a beautifier. 1\Ioreo,·er. the man dridng beside her is usually her s hy due pro~ess of law; no need to fix up for him! 1\Iaybe she also senses the fact that when she does realiy g-et the · chance to impro\·e on nature, the contrast will he all the more e ffective. So. ma\·he auto touri sts are "funn,· Iook;,~ cr fulks."" hut thev are not nearly s~ funny lo oking as they u~ed to. · . The \\·omen of the party ma,· he fiercer loo king.

YOtmo· b beneath The \Vinnctka Coal-Lumber company in a recent ad remarked that "auto tourists are funny looking folks." Auto \Vell, maybe they are, hut they are not anyTourists where near so funny looking as they used be. Remember way hack when the men who went touring used to wear goggles and dusters? And the women! I-f ow can a tnere man describe them? V\' ere those dusters that they wore? And what were those qu~er things they wore as headgear? Boudoir caps? A J)hotograph of one of those touring parties in an open car all fixed to On · the north shore roads there are se\·eral da.ngcr points. To name on ly a fewthe section of Sheridan road Danger that runs along- the east edge Points of Calvary cemetery. Sheridan road where it tneets Ridge a venue n car \i\/ilmette, Sheridan roarl where. in north \Vilmette. it makes a sudden turn and runs northward. Sheridan road again at Hubbard \Voods hill. \Ve have often wondered wln· more accidents do no t occur at Sherida-n road and l\1ichigan avenue in \Vilmette. \Ve have often noticed that south bound cars instead of turning west at this junction continue straight south on Michigan. \Ve have several times narrowly escaped running into one of these latter cars. Hubbard \Voods hill . has always been a menace to life and limb. V\T ith its steep narrO\\' inclines and its winding course it deliberately offers death and damage to all drivers, careful and reckless. The three sailor boys. Chester, O'Grady and Lesser, recently more or less severely injured when their car went over into the ravine beside thi~ dangerous hill, experienced what others have experienced and will continue to experience. Fortunately in the "·inter the hill is usually shut off by police order. The highways. especially those most often used, ought to be made so safe that accidents "·ill be rare. The broadening of the most traveled highways is not only advisable but urgent. Green Bay road north of Tower road is dangerous because of its narrowne~s. its high cro\\·n and its winding nature. People will continue to drive, and many will continue to drive carelessly. Punish offenders but also make it hard for accidents to occur on our main traveled roads.
