WEAVER POETS ARE HUMAN BEINGS. "He doesn't look a bit like a poet!" How many times have you heard that remark? The question is, how should a poet look? And why is there always a shade of disappointment in the voice of the remarker? After all, isn't it about time for the old idea of a poet with Byronic collar and cyclonic locks to die its well -warranted death? Poets are human beingssomewhat extraordinary human beings, it is true, because they look at the world with a bit less casual gaze than does the regular coin have their exits and their entrances; they are subject to all the ills the flesh is heir to, and they dislike the licat with a perfectly normal dislike. We have known a raft of poets in our time, and unless we had discovered the fact from conversation or from description we would hardly have differentiated them from other folks. Take Carl Sandburg, for instance. You'd probably take him for a gentle, genial small-town merchant from, soy, Minnesota.

He always wears an old felt hat pulled down over his eyes and a Pittsburg stogie (unlighted) drooping out of the corner of his mouth. It wouldn't be until he commenced to tell you about life, in that sincere, sympathetic voice of his, that you would really suspect, he might be a poet. E. A. Robinson reminded us of nothing so much as a banker from some town in New England.

Conservative, courteous, very quiet, the first impression is simply one of New England aristocracy. Vachel Lindsay--who would ever take him for anything but a shouting Methodist minister? Alfred Kreymborg looks like an exceptionally keen business man, with his intelligent eye and his little ways. Of course there's Max Bodenheim to be the exception; he couldn't possibly be anything but a poct. But one exception doesn't, we hope, spoil our case. The lady -poets certainly don't betray their occupation in their appearance.

Leonora Speyer and Florence Wilkinson and Margaret Widdemer are seemingly simply very pleasing society persons. Harriet Monroe is a delightful mixture of business and society. The younger minnie-singers are much more personalities than personages. Hildegarde Flanner and Genevieve Taggard and Edna Millay are a sort of glorified prom-girl--utterly charming, exceedingly easy to look at, and intelligent! (This last is what brings forth the The young men who make verses are quite normal individuals. The Benets, Stophen and William Rose, are very carnest and studious looking; they might easily be young lawyers.

John Farrar looks like a young graduate on a lark. (And so he is, and a very fine lark it is, as witness the excellence of the Bookman since he took it over.) Most of them are. for all an unwitting observer might know, bond salesmen or what not? We ourself have been told that we resemble a parlor snake--a compliment of decidedly doubtful complexion. What we are trying to get at is that the old tradition of "poety" looks, of distracted countenance and sloppy clothing, is outworn. The next time you are in a big crowd look around you, choose the nearest exit and say to the man you are sure is a poet, "Pardon me, but where do your verses next appear?" Beyond the shadow of a doubt he will turn out to be a moving picture director.

There is another book of Chinese-quarter pieces which might have been written by Burke several years ago.

It is called "The Street of a Thousand Delights" (McBride), and is the work of one Jay Gelzer. It has many resemblances to the first "Limehouse Nights," in characters and plots (except that these are more original than Burke's), and it is far above mediocrity. We recommend it for light summer reading.

Mrs. Harding did not accompany the President, having decided not to accept the invitation. The President's schedule called for luncheon at the camp and an afternoon in the Maryland and West Virginia hills. Besides Mr. Firestone, Mr.

Under this arrangement shipments will be received at the terminal of the transport company for immediate trucking to any of these lines for forwarding.

The coastwise steamship lines have decided upon this plan after considering the establishment of a terminal on the waterfront.

The Derbyshire countryside furnishes an agreeable and picturesque background for Thomas Moult's first venture into fiction, "Snow Over Elden" (George. H. Doran Company). widely known in England and this country as a contributor to Voices, one of the most brilliant contemporary journals of poetry and criticism and this, his first novel, has much the simple charm and many of the rich mellow qualities of his better known work. There is little of plot or story in "Snow Over Elden:" it is merely a light, delicate bit characdelineation and that of simple countryfolk, their simple loves and pleasures.
