An Ordinary Man. , EXAMrtiES of what Is known aa at Art. today, aro constantly help brought to the attention of the public. When I was In vited to the home of Mrs. Trump for the purpose of seeing: examples of the works of Matisse and others I did not realise whatwas In store for me. Mrs. Trump has a way, y'upderatand, of getting first everything that is new, In this way she manages to keep Just a, little bit ahead of everyone else. Of course after we catch up with her. J then are Iota of people In our set who far excel her In Ideas and understand ing, but I'll have to hand my congratu lation to Mrs. Trump. She always gets there first And Just now THERE! hap pen! to be, art. Bo It was a trick thoroughly In keep lag with 'her other ways to Invite our set to an exhibition without telling about it beforehand. We Just went and were confronted with the things. No one could say anything. It Was the most embarrass ing thing you ever heard of. Freddy Flamm Just stood with his mouth open and so did nearly everyone else. Nobody Could Speak. With Mrs. Trump was an artist who seemed to be sort of a nurse or Bae- decker for the 'pictures. And ho Just walked around and smiled and rubbed his nose with his finger, and Mrs. J Trump swished along behind him and grinned. We Just stood, and said "how wonder ful." I pledge you my word that that is all. They strike you dumb. Be cause YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT THEY ARE MEANT TO BE. e That Is the mean, low part or It. As Frank Morse would say, only a mean, low person would think up such a trlcK. m Just as soon as you would pick out atfi arm or' a leg and say, "What a WONderful, WONderful portrait.' ,the artist, who looked like n vegetarian since birth, would como up and say, "Oh. that Is an out-of-door sketch. That's a scene. The motif Is a barn. Now, over here and over there you see the same motif again. Here Is the rep resentation of the sound of water, here a composition, meaning bird music." And there wouldn't bo a darned thing (ixcuso met) In the picture but a bunch of red and blue and green and yellow. A sort of scenic goulash. A piece, from the kind of world which the Democratic f tarty predicts would exist If the HcpuD. Icnns got In, or vice versa. m m w Well, every one of us perspired in agony for twenty minutes. Oh, It was horrible, horrible! And then-that Freddy Flamm, who has never' done anything before In his lire, saved the lny. He deserves a cross of the Legion of Honor, a Victoria Cross, and a free ticket to the Lady Duff Uordon spring opening. Up to the time he made his famous remark, the human Baedeckcr had only tnlkeo occasionally, ilo was talking German to our English, and nobody could understand. Finally . little Miss Wimple she's so small you wouldn't think she 'had the nervo came, forward and said: , "Well. I can't see what any of it Is or what It means." . Yes, she did. And then she knew that she had cut off her own head, and that she might as well go, Bho was queered on Mrs. Trump's list. But Just then Freddy turned to all of us and said, In his slow, fat way: "But, oh, don't you see, we can't un derstand It all; It's like muslc-and symphonies. But, oh lord! Look how It does hold together!" And that was the cue. The artist nurse leaped at Freddy from clear across the room, and safd, "You understand."" And from then on Freddy would prod the artist with remarks and we all stood around and took the cues, and the first thing we knew we were all talking tho same talk again, and every thing was so homellkot Then the artist showed us a pamphlet and we all took turns reading; it, and then some of them went up to Mrs. Trump and talked to tier, and she hadn't seen the pamphlet, and It almost ended In a riot. Freddy Flamm Just seemed to fit right In. Oenlus, I suppose. Clear genius. And we thought him such a fool. Saved our lives fat rascal. Imagine his not telling us all these years! Almost routed Mrs. Trump. Sho tried to get the pamphlet, but Sarah Rack got It and hid It In the front of her dress. Oh, yes! I almost forgot what Freddy atd. It works like a charm. You can do It. Now listen: Every time the nurse (those pictures always have a nurse) stops, just put In ono of these remarks. How It holds together! Take one line oway An, li would all be going out of tTlo frame! How the frame holds It Inl Just like a creat symphony! Artistic Improvisations. Suoh color. And that niece of plaster Stuck on there. Doesn't It give character and notion. Bets un an entirely new line of har monies! And balance! Such bnlance. A line out. and It would be quite awry, quite awrv.' Follows the law of design. Yes, a leaf here, a stem there. Works llkn mathematical Most Important of nil. When suing to a new picture, assume a sountt'mr tttltude. and bo toward It cnreVullv. ook at If for several moments. Then, without bring too loud or much, tro for ward, touch the picture, so as to make sure of tho one you mean, and say softly to the nurse-artist: "And this is tV with rlflna. Inflection, and he will give you the answor. Then follow with the above remarks.' Oh. don't thank me. Thank Freddy Flamm. ' THE CONDUCTOR.

Column Formerly Ruled by Annie Laurie An swers the Question of a High School Girl. In the vicinity of her adored one. It la neither wholesome nor normal No Task Too Mental. At colleges and "prep schools for, girl the association can be much closer. No task Is too menial for the poor crush. Her particular and per sonal duty usually ilnqtudea turning back the covers of the "crushe'e's" bed every evening, and leaving pas sionate good night! notes under the pillows. 1 The most pitiful feature Is that the hapless crush doesn't realize how absolutely silly she looks, while If the older -girl la sensible, It will be likely that she Is much embarrassed by all this attetnlon. She may hint, first gently, then openly, that the flowers and the candy and the notes don't appeal to her at all, and, growing desper ate, lose all chance for a sane friendship by losing all patience and sending the crush off furious. It's simply Impossible to tell how many real, honest-to-goodness friendships, aro broken off, 'Just because of this same crunh system, if it could be called a system. It may be that the older girl and the younger girl have a great deal in common. They may bo thrown together for reasons the rest of their "friends" know nothing about and do not attemptito explain.

It may be that the associates of the younger girl possibly a bashful little thing begin to teas her about her regard for the older girl. andto escape this, she breaks off what may be a very promising friendship. Sad, Rather Than Ludicrous. I personally think that this crush habit Is a very strong argument for the coeducational system. As I have said before, the high school crush Is rare and the coeducational college crush even rarer. Young peoplo still In their toens are bound to havo very high Ideals about other persons. In the. high school It may take tho form of Idealising the cap tain of the football team or the president of the dramatic associa tion, or the'school'afstsr dancer. All E RECIPES Raisin Rice Mold.

"Crushes" thh is more or less harmless, and In, a way. natural, for young people outrht to havo Interest In people of the opposite sex. Hut when It comes to showering nil this affection and there is no lovo moro passionate while It lasts then first love upon a person who may net be a worthy model. It Is not co much ludicrous ss It Is sad. Of course, my little lady, of the telephone, will say that I haven't given her a bit of advice. She'll Just hae to fight the opinion of the other girls for herself. At first they'll any "crush," and do all they can to make your friendship some thing different from what It really is. hut If the girl Is really congenial. It will br worth all this criticism to find a real, true friend. Three-Minute Journey I N the "bush" districts of West Africa tho peoplo nro steeped In super stition. Witchcraft, "Ju-ju" magic, and tho strangest beliefs In snlrlts good and evil seem to permeate the very alr The natives believe that every man poarasscfjaor Is possessed of, two souls. One of Tils souls animates his body, while the other, by the taking of a magic draught, the necret of concocting which has been handed down for un told ages, can Irhve the body In which U usually dwollH and float Invisibly Into tho depths Of the forest. There It takes on Its "were-shape." This shape may be tho body of an -elephant, or oven a crocodile. Tho Calabar river Is sup posed to be the home of many a crocodile-soul, which tho natives call "efuml." Near one of the fords of the Calabar there Is a large, ovnl-shnped atone, half embedded In the ground. This stone Is one of the altars of Nlmm, the naturo goaiicss or me hkoi peoplo. When a woman is anout to rord tho river, she goes to this stone and prnys. If she drowns. It sometimes happens that a man or maybe nnother woman Is ac cused of having caused her death. In the were-shape of a crocodile. Only the Intervention of some kind providence, a. white man. for Instance, can then savo the occuned. Yes, It Is. Indeed, a favor ite way, tho natives havo of ridding themselves of their enemies. Naturally such ever-present dangers rauso the natives to band together. Borne of them confess to being elephant nouls, some buffalo-souls or the other animals, and band together according to their were-shapes. To guard against these dangers, and others space does not permit describing, nearly ever' village and almost every house Is guarded by a "Ju-ju," The composition of a typical domestic "Ju ju" Is most mysterious. Its rites In setting It up are even more strange. While thn natives 'Understand every part of the rites, they are really Incompre hensible to white men. "Faith" Is In deed necessary for "Ju-ju," (Copyrlsht, INI. Newspaper Feature Fric).
