SOMETHING ABOUT
DOROTHY CANFIELD
Dorothy ' Canned has so many
I auocesses to her credit and la ao
versatile a person that one despair
.of chronicling even a small part or
her achievements. When little
mors than a slrl aha had won two
degrees, a Fh.B. and a Ph.D., and
It was not many years after that
that she became famous as an au
thor. - ..
Her boojcs are tha type that live.
To speak of one of her latest biff
successes, "Tha Brimming Cup,''
calls up mention of her earlier
work and starts discussion of 'The
Bont Twljr" or "The Squirrel Cage,"
or away from her novels to her
books on the Montessori method. .
When war came. Mrs. Fisher
(arte Is Mrs. Fisher In private life)
went to Franco with her husband
and two chlldrenwhers ahe did
big and Important work. But all
tha time she was working abroad
aha was writing, too, stories that
appeared In our leading magaslnea,
and books ' that were published
upon . her return.
MART STEWART CUTTINO, JR.
I The first time I ever beard the
threadbare saying about a square peg
In a round hole, was when my father
used It In an attempt to excuse Aunt
Emily. Up to that time I had never
heard anyone say anything of her ex
cept that' she was & detestable woman
with- tlie most Infernal capacity for be
ing, perfectly . wretched herself and
making . everybody else 00. What
home she made for poor mild Uncle
Charlie, and - for their three nervous,
scrawny, rabbit-faced children I
. ! You are not to think ahe neglected
her Home or her children. Indeed no I
She house-kept with a fanatical com
petence and expended on the up-brlng-.
lug of her children an extravagant
energy which rilled the house to Its
remotest corner, as a sawmill Is filled
by the strident energy of the saw.
Never were three children so brought
up as my -poor little cousins. Aunt
' Emily was determined that she should
do her whole duty by them, that they
should be perfect, and do everything
exactly right. Of course she knew
much better than they what was right,
and hence had never an Instant of re
pose from her labor of pushing and
shoving them Into the way they should
I .' ! ' v ' f '. v '. ; 1
i 1 Ob, how we hated to be sent on an
errand to Aunf Emily's house. I spare
you the description of what a meal at
''Aunt Emily's table was, with Aunt
Emily teaching the children table man
ners. - There are plenty of Intolerable
-thing! In real life, without dragging
Into story what happened .when
.Uncle Charles spilled gravy on a' clean
tablecloth,
. You notice, perhsys, that I say "at
Aunt Emily's table," and not "at Uncle
Charles'"; and that sets me at an
other angle of their home life; what
that home life meant to Aunt Emily's
husband,, . He was what Is known In
'America as a man "with no head for
.business," and yet there had never
been anything but .business In his life,
lie had' been a handsome, dreamy
eyed, musical-minded young account
ant In Emery's Emporium when Aunt
Emily, . very young herself, bad mar
ried him; married him, apparently for
j the same reason that he was In busi
ness, because there seemed to be noth
ing else to do. But' Uncle Charles was
no money-maker, and Imprisoned In a
- grinding round of petty economies and
lUnescapable ahabblness, bow Aunt
Emily ate her heart out, and what a
life Uncle Charles led I But not even
Aunt Emily's terrible energy could put
Into her husband's gentle, artistic, un
commercial soul, a single gust of tht
stormy ambition which blew like a tor
nado jln her harried heart. Unci
Charles hated all business desperate
ly, and found the only pleasure In his
life in bis children.
My mother always said that those
three Burton children would certainly
just have wasted away, If It bad not
been for their father at Oils time. He
had as great a gift for calming and
cheering them as their mother had for
damping the very life out of them.
Whenever Aunt Emily was away from
home for a few , hours, and Uncle
Charles was there with the children,
what a good time they had In those
short hours of respite, Uncle Charles
la an easy chair, the children piled
on top of him, his arms around them
tight, while they had what they called
a "visit." This meant a chatter, of
little voices, birdlike and free, which
Aunt Emily had never heard In her
life. Or perhaps they'd all sing to
gether, for they had Inherited Uncle
Charles' gift for music
If he had only had time he would
have given piano lessons to all the
children. But, dear me, he had no
time except for that account keeping,
and they bad no money to pay a pro
fessional music teacher. Uncle
Charles always looked ten years
younger after such a visit with his
'children, whereas a rainy morning
pent with the children In the house,
always made Aunt Emily look a thou
sand years old, "they wore on her so,"
they upset so the perfect order of ber
wonderfully kept bouse. And yet they
keening away from her as much as
possible. They never went home fron
school until It was actually supper-
time, and always played In our yard,
not their own.
The result wss that Aunt Emily was
left quite to herself In a Sahara des
ert of "lonely housekeeping and des
perate economies with the poor pit
tance which was all that Uncle
Charles could' earn. Her thin face
grew grim and dark, as she mended
and patched and turned and dyed and
performed miracles on tough necks of
mutton and cheap curtain materials.
All of It she did with superlative skill
but burning and raging Inwardly (and
many times not so very Inwardly)
against the necessity of doing It at all.
and crying out bitterly with many fits
f hysterical tears that she was killing
herself for tier rurally, and nobody
gave ber a bit of credit for It
Oh, yes, everybody dodged when
Aunt Emily hove In . view, father as
much as .the rest, in spite of all his ex
tenuations. Whenever .we did have to
go there, on unavoidable errands, we
children would stand In the doorway,
and assure ber volubly that we
couldn't come In, because our feet
were muddy. This brought about the
desired result of being told severely
to hurry along then, end not get the
whole house cold, with that door stand
ing open. ......
Then came the climax In their mis
fortunes, as If they were not already
sufficiently singled out' for misery.
Uncle Charles fell on the stairs, and
hurt himself terribly, threw several
could use It to serve her ambition
and because she was passionately In
terested In It, she mastered It, and
owned It, and put It In ber pocket.
Everybody In that line of business la
that part of the country soon knew
her; she was hall-fellow-well-met with
all the traveling men,' who, liked her
bluff manners and sharp tongue,
feared her piercing eye, and respected
her capacity always to get the better
of tRem. . '
She was detested ' but admirably
served by the staff of the. store, who
were bewildered by her. -really .inhu
man capacity for endless . exactitude
of detail, angry at the everlasting high
tension of her demands, but placated
by the growing fame of the store and
by her Instant recognition of business
ability in a subordinate. "Business
ability I" How , Aunt Emily adored
It I What a starved, wolflike appetite
ahe bad for all that it stood for. How
intensely she lived In her new life I
Before long she had 'developed
new Hue, advertising (this was before
the modern science of advertising was
dreamed of) and while I dare say it
would be an exaggeration to claim
that she was the first to expand the
present principles of psychological nd
vertlslng, I know a good many people
who think she came very near doing
so. Merchants from other cities came
to see her window displays, and talked
with her about advertising. Aunt
Emily, who never did anything for
nothing, soon saw that slie'had a mar
ketable product there, and proceeded
to put It on the market. She organ
ized what I'm sure was the first ad-
to. me before, as though 'something 'ox

never tell anybody else what you have

of It "again, not even to me. Just put
it right out of your mind, as If you
had not seen It, . Lift your hand and
promise." ' .
As soon as I could recover from my
awe at the solemnity of his look, I
lifted my band and promised, and a
silence fell between tu.

that, ha lay almost . wholly paralyzed
from the waist down. And not a penny
of'savlngs to pay the doctor, not even
for the grocer's bill at the end of the
month. It was disaster, absolute black.
Irreparable disaster. Aunt Emily was
stunned into silence, a dreadful gray
silence, as of Borne one whose grudge
against fate Is rising to mania. I re
member hearing father say to mother,
after he came baek from bis turn at
spending a night of care for Uncle
Charles, "I'm afraid of the woman, I
positively am. She looks as though
she'd go mad." "Well, It's not out of
sympathy for ber poor husband, that's
sure," mother answered acidly. ,;,
What do you suppose was the result
of that terrific accumulation of emo
tion In Aunt Emily t Wbut was the
momentous, tremendous decision to
reach which, In 1888, It was necessary
for her to rise to that pitch of frenzy t
Why nothing more nor less than this
. and In those days 1 It was a de
cision 'both momentous and tremen
dous for any married woman with chil
dren . ' . . she put on her bonnet,
yes, bonnet. It was In the last days of
bonnets, when only young girls wore
bats . . . and marched down town
to ask for work In Emery's Emporium.
She got It, of course. Even If It had
not been Aunt Emily, the humane bead
of the firm would have felt under some
obligation to the wife of a faithful em
ployee of such long standing. And. In
addition, to this, It was Aunt Emily
of course she got what she
went after. ' :"'..
She was put . . well, I don't
know that I ever heard Just In what
small corner she was put at first, as
an experiment; something easy and
simple to suit her supposed Inexperi
ence of business and her supposed
feminine Incapacity for It The life at
home was organized somehow, any
how, as best they could with different
cousins taking turns to go In and help
out with the work. Uncle Charles did
not suffer any pain, and was quite
himself as far as his head was con
cerned, his body like a log In the bed!
but his eyea bright, his fine sensitive
face pale, but calm and philosophic as
always. He was quite able to direct
the children as they dressed and un
dressed themselves and studied their
lessons and learned to do the housework.
As Uncle Charles got better so that
he could sit up In bod, things ran more
smoothly. His bed was moved down
to a corner of the dining room, where
he could look Into the kitchen. He
could work with his hands now, which
he had always loved to do, and they
were newer still from morning till
night My father gave him a wheeled
tray which . was always piled with
work, done or to be done. He did all
the mending and darning and he and
Phoebe did the cooking and the kitch
en work together. The children all
brought their school books to their
father's bedside, and "did" their les
sons there, to a running accompani
ment of such sympathetic, helpful com
ments from him, . as they'd never
known before. By mid-winter of that
year, .Uncle Charles was well enough
to sit In a wheeled chnlr, which Aunt
Emily bought out of tha first raise In
her salary, and presented proudly to
him 011 Christmas day. After this, he
was all over the house at once, active
and cheerful.
He always ant beside Phoebe, as she
practiced her music lesson, to listen,
to play the bass In a simple duet and
to teach. My mother says she never
saw a child get forward with her mu
sic as Phoebe did, after her father be
gan to teach ber. In no time Bbe wss
playing the - accompaniment for his
light clear baritone, and then the little
house , rang with music llket shell
with the murmur of thesea. We all
used to love to go there, as soon as
school was over to "have a concert"
Sometimes they sang Scotch aire
the tears we have shed over
"Loch Lomond," the zest for battle
poured Into us by "Scots wha' hae' ; or
It might be Irish, . . . how we have
laughed over "Father O'Flynn," and
yelled out the chorus of the "Cruls
keen Bawn" : ... or negro. There
neverwas anybody who could sing
'spirituals" like Uncle Charles. Oh,
they were great concerts, we'll never
forget ...
And what was Aunt Emily doing all
this time? You know as well as I do
what Aunt Emily was doing. 8 he was
rising like a rocket through every
plane of the management of Emery's
Emporium. She was passionately In-
because she
menu of ber busy days.
She was up and off to work early,
reading the morning paper as she ate
breakfast, which Uncle Charles had
seen to. Then they saw her no more
till night, when she came home walk
ing strongly In the door, looking vejy
uistinguisnea ana cnic in tne Deauu-
fully cut tailor suits of the best mate
rial that money could buy
am speaking now, of course, ' of the
times after that difficult beginning.
That period lasted, after all, only till
she could get her bearings. In the new
world. Very soon, ahe was earning
more money than Uncle' Charles
had ever dreamed of making. By
the time Uncle Charles' was around
on crutches, there was a , good
competent girl In the kitchen. ' This
left Uncle Charles more time and
strength to give, to the children, more
leisure to perfect bis own music, and
more energy to. plan the thousand In
genious variations, on the theme of
domestic life which made their home
tha most delightful one to visit In, you
can Imagine. ,
Aunt Emily fitted In It all very com
fortably, She was' always agreeably
tired by night, and relieved of her sur
plus energy, she was astonishingly
good-natured and easy to get along
with. - There was plenty of money
these days, for competent help, which
Uncle. Charles, managed smoothly;
there was plenty of money for good
clothes, and good food, and nice china,
and pretty glassware, and fine linen,
all of which Aunt Emily enjoyed . with
a hungry pleasure which, was never
blunted by ceaseless repetition. She
was happy for thi first time In her
life. Aunt Emily was, and although
she was by this time, middle-aged and
gray-haired, she was handsomer than
she had ever been In youth. She grew
and grew in acumen and business abil
ity, and ripened with experience, till
our small city was not big enough for
her. She . soared off to New, York,
carrying the family with her to an ex
pensive apartment anr from there to
Paris, where they lived for . many
years, Aunt Emily being the PaTls rep
resentative of a great New York de
partment store.
To the day of his death Uncle
Charles always kept the children close
to his heart, and directed their growth
Just as lovingly and wisely as ever.
Phoebe Is a professional planlBt now,
well known all over America and Eu
rope. For years she was usually com
panioned by her father, crutches and
all. Charlie Is a successful architect,
with a lovely B'reneh wife and two
babies. It was beautiful to see Uncle
Charles, with . big grandchildren j
Bobby . would certainly . have gone
straight to the dogs, If he had not had
the most Inspired handling at his fa
ther's hands. He was a wild, tempera
mental, unreasonable, warm-hearted,
hot-tempered boy, who could not get
on an Instant with his mother. But
Uncle Charles held to , him through
everything, made a man of him at last,
for he Is a noted field worker for the
New York Natural History museum. .
This story sounds as though it were
petering out doesn't It, and as though
this was about all there was to It? But
there Is' something else, something I
never told anyone but father. It was
the great shadow secret of my child
hood, something father 'and I knew,
and nobody else. But now that Uncle
Charles and Aunt Emily are gone, I
can tell It .
This Is what happened: When I,
was nine years old (ubout three years
after. Uncle Charles' accident) - I
chanced to stay at their house over
night. I had a bad dream, out of
which I woke up with a start and un
able to get to sleep afterward, I got
out of bed and wandered to the win
dow to look out Into the moonlight
And, there an front of the bouse, walk
ing round the garden paths, what do
you suppose I saw? You will never
guess. I saw my Uncle Charles, walk
ing nimbly and briskly without hit
crutches. '
I went home the next morning In a
maze of bewilderment, and climbed up
to my father's attic stud;. Speaking
all in an excited hurry, I- told him
what I had seen. His first expression
was one of utter amazement, "Your
Uncle Charles walking without bis
crutches I"
And he foil Into a long, thoughtful
brooding silence, looking over my
head, and not listening to my rush of
exclamations. Finally he glanced down
at me, with a strange, anxious look
and with a voice, of deep earnestness,
such as I have never heard addressed

motor car operation. - A few years back
It was advisable to drain, not strictly
necessary; today it is essential that-we
drain and refill the crankcase with fresh
oil, else we can look for very poor en
gine performance nnd rapid depreciation.
And it is for this very reason that
practically every motor car manufactu
rer today' urges close attention to: the
correct lubrication of the car; urges the
use of the best oils obtainable, and oils
suited by -grade' and by character to the
type of engine which is used. , And urges
the correct usage of these oils as to

Many of ajhe manufacturers, realizing
the importance of these instructions
above all else in the operation of the car,
bring them forcibly to the attention of
the driver by means of a lubrication

or to the engine side of the dasb.

, more pieces of alloy steel are used in
' vital parts than normal wear requires.
