INTERESTING PERSONAL AND SOCIAL NEWS ENJOY STORIES BY MISS BOOKER Women's CLub of Middletown Invites Organizer of Local Story League to Speak Miss Lois K. Booker, of this city, organizer of the local branch and first president of the Story Tellers League, spoke before the Woman's Club, of Middletown, Saturday aft ernoon, on "Ideals In Story Telling and the Universality of the Fairy Belief and the Fairy Tale." The speaker cited Jesus of Naza reth as the supreme story teller of the agos, through his own Divinity, His divine message and pure sim plicity of narrative as found in "The Parables." She said that "Socrates in Plato's Republic, has bequeathed to all story tellers the Greek Ideal of story telling, which like a piece of sculpture done by Phidias is un equaled in nobility and refinement of conception. Socrates believed in only those stories that give the youth the highest Ideals od divinity, purity, courage,. honor and justice. The story teliter should never imitate, but merely narrate madness of animals, the elements of nature and evil qualities of character. He should keep nearly all the time to the same I simplicity and rythm and within the limits of a single harmony." Among the illustrative stories Miss Booker told was the quaint fairy tale of Thomas of Erclldonne, a lord of I Scotland In the time of Alexander 11, as recorded by Sir Walter Scott. The audience was delightfully re sponsive, enthusiastic and sym pathetic and Miss Booker was given a vote of thanks for her inspiring talk at the close of the meeting.

SCOUT RALLY POSTPONED Following the request of the fuel administrator, the big Boys Scouts rally to be held in the City Grays' .Armory this evening has been called orf. This was the announcement made at Boy Scouts headquarters to day by J. H. Stine, scout executive STRENUOUS LOVEMAKING Duke William Tamed Matilda, and She Got Square on Brihtric A modern lover who resorted to brute force to win his lady would soon find himself in the street. If flot in the police station. But fashions in proposals have changed In a thousand years, and ■ft t hen William the Conqueror set out to make Ma tilda, daughter of the Count of Flanders, the happiest of maidens he adopted measures that were forci ble, to say the least. The New York Sun tells the story of his tempest uous wooing: The suitor Matilda had she did not want, and the man she wished to woo her she could not get. The man she did not want happened to be William, duke of Normandy, and he decided to go to Bruges and con quer Matilda. There were no national roads through France in those days, and William doubtless had a hard trip. Perhaps Matilda noticed the mud on his clothes when she came out of church and found him waiting for her. At any rate, William descended from his horse, and taking Matilda firmly by the back of the neck, rolled her over and over in the mire of Bruges, planting well directed blows upon her royal face and body with his other hand. Life was elemental a thousand years ago. This strenuous lovemaking some how appealed to Matilda. Perhaps it was what she would have liked to do to Brihtric, the gentleman she could not get, who was only the English ambassador at her father's court and not at all a proper person to be snubbing a princess. So Ma tilda sent word to her father that "sick in health and dolorous in body," she had firmly resolved to marry no man but Duke William. Later, after William had con quered England, he offered his queen the estates of any English nobleman she might name. Matilda did not have to think twice. She not only chose Brihtric's estates, but she put him in prison and kept him there all the rest of his life—an excellent ar gument for the wise custom of re stricting woman's choice to one year in four. NATURAL TO FAIR FOR LIFE Majority of Men and Women Require Warmth of Companionship There is something unhealthy and abnormal, in the life of the unmarried when they have reached an age and a condition such that their impulses would lead them to marry. W. L George writes in Harper's. The hu man tendency is to live in counples, there are a few rare people of strong individuality who find all they need within themselves, who. like Narcis sus, can give a pure worship to their own image, but they are few, and nearly all men and women need the warmth of companionship. Now companionship is a peculiar thing, generally not found in families. One can love one's sisters and one's brothers, but it is sometimes very dif ficult; one can love one's father and ono's mother, but as one grows older tills becomes almost impossible if one has to live with them. This because they are Imposed upon one by the ac cident of birth; because one knows too much about them from long asso ciation, so that they cease to interest; because one knows too little about them, never having been quite frank in the presence of those common mas ters, the father and the mother, to whom private lives could be revealed. Brothers and sisters form a com pulsory grouping, and that is nearly always detestable. Likewise, the as sociation between parents and chil dren Is exquisite when the child is young and the parent venerable— only, when one is vigorous and 80, one docs not venerate the people of 60, who have often lost their brightest faculties. A parent does not protect when he Is 60, because he cannot, be cause he Is more likely to want pro tection himself. The relation between parents and children grows absurd when the children turn into men and women. It subsists on auld lang syne, on toleration tinged with impatience.
