TAKING FERRY TRAFFIC CENSUS What Youthful Patron of Froo Library Really Wanted Was "Inside of the Cup" ) FLAPPER FICTION FLUFFY The Philadelphia flnpper lefuses to be outdone by her siMers In pnrts east, west, north and south in these Cnlted i States. Site insists she can be just ns cnpnble a low-brow ns librarians as sembled nt this moment in Chicago, from nil pnrts of tho country, declare that their youthful const ituents nre. r'rlnstnnce. One librarian nt- the convention credits this conversation to n young person with a leaning toward knee frocks and tortolso shell wind shields for campus tisp only: "Oh, look. I've gf)t to rend some books. It's for my English semifinals. Look, hnve jou got the 'Four Horsemen With the Erysipelas,' by thnt Spanish caveiunn? And I want n hook of poetry, too. Something kind of jnzzv. See?" But the little Quaker City girl who did all her heavy reading in high school is renlly doing the very best she can to live up the national flapper reputa tion. According to Mrs. Buth Duncun, li brarian nt the West Philadelphia Pub lic Library, Fortieth and Walnut streets, where hundreds of young people (ilo in nnd out dnilv fop fond for thought, she of the short skirts nnd tliev unueniably pretty face still rushes in nnd asks for that book by David Cop perfield. She hIso prettily inquires : "Have jou that thing by Dickens you know what I mean, 'The Scarlet Pimple'?" Another enigmatic but interesting call for n book was this: "Hnve ou got something called 'The Inside of the Pup?' " The librarian was able to make out that the youth, with a sudden spur of ambition, wns calling for Winston Churchill's "The Inside of tho Cup." On tho whole Mrs. Duncan's opinion wns that 1'hilndelpliln girls of average .voung nnd tender yearn have not made nnv more striking strides up the literary lnddtv than hnve girls iu any other part of the country. "They want the lightest and fluffiest things," Mrs. Duncun snid. "Tlicv usually ask for the newest: fiction anil that is more often than not the lightest. After they leave school they luive very little use for any serious rending. "This npplies pnrtlculhrly to Ameri can girls. The foreigners care for other types of books. They like more sub stantial fiction. They read Alexandre Dumas, for instance, and Scott nnd Thackeray. A librarian nt Bryn Mawr College added further indictment against the modern trend of the literarv taste of youth. "We do not linppen to have a great deal of fiction here, as our books mostly furnish collateral reading in connection with class work," she snid. "But when wo do linppen to hnve new books of fiction the girls 'gobble them up.'
