ORE than three hundred expert book handlers and literary con- servators, representing some of the principal university and pub | lic libraries of the country, are in town this week as delegates to the New York State Library Conven- tion. ‘They have as Exhibit A for their professional inspection a great institution whose signifi- cance New Yorkers themselves are only beginning to grasp—our new Public Library, on which the ity has expended $9,000,000, and which has already $3,000,000 worth of books, with the income from $8,000,000 to grow upon. | Contrast this convention and this library with a start in the ame direction that was made a little over a hundred years ago.

This was the beginning of the Dunferm- fine Tradésmen’s Library, and of the Carnegie tradition which to- @ay is so important a factor in making books as free as air for the English-speaking multitudes of the world. It is well to be reminded occasionally of what a library means. (fhe numerous addresses by the visiting librarians and others serve | this purpose admirably, and from a variety of novel viewpoints, Mayor Gaynor is in his element here, and his remarks upon the philosophy of libraries and their influence in communities include the striking observation that the libraries, the schools and the jury system are the three great agencies by which English-speaking so- ciety grows in knowledge—they have “changed the whole intellectual world, by transmitting the best thought of mankind from the very few, to whom it was formerly restricted, to the many.” in the Same Speech at Waterloo, lowa, Sept. 28, The Left Hand Version Is Printed as an Editorial With Great Joy by The Morning World, and the Right Hand Specimen With Equal Pleasure by the New York Tribune To-Day.

But it 1s comparatively easy to show him the kind of women that will not do, and s0 enadle him hy a process of ellmination, to fix his affections upon the right woman. Before describing particular types to be avoided one general word of [counsel should be addressed to all young men seeking wives or whom wives are seeking. Tt is this. Tho self-styled man's woman {s simply one with whom other women do not care to associate becaus unblased by the lure of sex which calls men to her, they have weighed her tn the balance and found her wanting.

But one never hears a man say that he finds all the members of his own sex so trivial, disloyal and uninteresting that be is come pelled to seek his friends among women, ‘Tho girl who brags of having « “man's point of view” is just as much of am incongruity as the plump middle-aged actress one sees occasionally wadding through a boy's part, with the fond delusion that her appearance suggests mas culinity, The woman who has no women friends doesn't deserve to have | Much more frequently met, however, and much more attractive to the average young man {s the type I will characterize as The Perpetual Ingenue, Once an ingenue always an ingenue, for ingenues are made, not born, end the musiin-and-blue-ribbon manner !s never properly worn until it Bas ceased to Be appropriate.
