If y:- - ' SUNDAY MORNINGJUbi I-J5 SOCIETY NEWS &WEEK :tt!HBi9HapaiPS . ! - By EDNA M. LUNDBERQ Typical of tbe poems of the ultra- modern type, is tbe quotation following, from "Cafe Sketches, " by . Arthur Davison Ficke. which was published in "The Little Re view, a magazine which claim to be the Tery very last word in prose and poetry. Bat some of its poems, and prose as well, to nor mal, healthy minded folks, appear to be as Just so much meaning less gibberish, but they are meant to be serious "deep and dense, and black" with serious. ness, as the quotation from "Cafe Sketches' shows. Mr. Ficke, after telling in the first verse about being la a cafe aurrounded by a "cortege of seven ; waiters,'. mourning for a "boundlessly curl : oua lady," describes the dancing as follows: , ... "Presently persons will come out and shake legs. I do not want legs shaken. I want Immortal souls shaken un reasonably; , I want to see dawn spilled across the blackness, Like a scrambled egg on the skil let; . I want miracles, wonders Tidings out of deeps, I do not know ' That neither you Nor your esteemed consort Nor 1 myself Can ever provide these simple things Fpr which I am so patiently wait t Ing. ...

Now we are not decbrinr mod ,ero poetry. but we do think that ; some or this "ultra-modern" trasb that has. neither rythm nor sense, which is being .published now-a-day. In the name of "art and drama." we could get along very , well without." Some of these mod ernists seem to try to see which can succeed in making his pro duction the most meaningless, the most ugly of expression. No, we are not like the gentleman who said that although he knew nothing of art, or was not an Im a gist yet when he ran across something of this type of "socall ed" art. he felt there ranst be mag.- Enjoy Physical Comfort through perfect fitting cor sets.

For a return to sanitr in nn- etrv and bantv of a wnrH pic ture, read the following, which was DUDllsned sometime aeo in "The Literary Digest." At least we can understand it, and compar ison between the two is totally unnecesary. SUNSET AFTER RAIN The cradle of the valley Is filled with floating mist. The Bummit of tbe mountains Are veiled in amethyst. The trees spread grateful branches Above a smiling sod, For thirsting slacked, for hunger fed AH things are praising God. - And yet they go to the sea shore, to the mountains and riv ers. Salemites are every day an swering 'the call of the wild" and going on outings and vacation trips where they can be "near to nature's heart." Doesn't it make one think (especially you house wives) when living the simple life, in camp and In summer homes, of all the unnecessary things that we do in ordinary liv ing, that we could get along so well without. Of the fret and the worry, and the unnecessary work that we cduld eliminate if we lived simpler lives, and ate simpler food. It has become a "fad" In the last few years, to build homes that do eliminate much unnecessary work and care, and when anything becomes a "fad" it Is much more likely to be brought to the minds of so many more people. We sincerely hope this "fad" proves to be not a passing one, but that when people once see the value in liv ing "the, simple life" they will not be quick to return to tha other. Mrs. Zane Grey, wife of the well known author, was in Salem Friday and Saturday of this week.
