Made Men and Home-Made Ideals!\\AICAN IN DANGER, Women of To-Day Know Too Much of Tango Par- ties, Dinner Parties and Other Parties, but Not Enough About Their Homes, Says Irving Bachel- ler, Genial New England Humorist—Points to Evil of “Machine-Made’’ Children and Urges Breaking Away From Vicious European Ideals. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Wanted—The old-fashioned “American home. ‘That's the advertisement Uncle Sam {s putting out, according to one of the old gentleman's best friends—Irving Bacheller. We all know Mr. Bacheller as the author of “Keeping Up With Lissie,” “Bben Holden” and other homespun tales and satires. They are not merely “made in America,” they are made in New England; and each and every one is sea- soned with wintergreen, sweet fern and juniper. Also, each in its own way is an honest plea for what the author honestly believes will be the salvation of mod- ern Americs—a revival of the principles and prac tices that made the past of America great. Even if one {s thoroughly convinced of the logic > gy and justice of several of the new “isms,” one may get rather tired ‘of hearing and talking about them. At such a moment a turn-beck-the-clock chat. with Mr. Bacheller appeals to the mental palate; even as a plain home dinner delights, after a surfeit of French restau- rants. SoJ was glad to find him at the Hotel Collingwood, and to receive the messege which he believes New of the U. 8. A. York needs even more than the rest “As pact onan about the coun-@——$—— try I have foted one condition every- where, and I suppose it’s even truer of New York than of most other places,” he said. “American men and women of te-day seem to kne lot about whist parties, dinner parties, tea parties, lunch parties, tango par- ties. They don't seem to know muoh about their homes. They don't seem te be acquainted with their children. And yet, of all of our citizens whe have left thé world in their debt, | can't find one that wasn't a home-made, mother-made man.” GREAT AMERICANS WERE HOME MADE MEN. Mr. Bacheller spoke with a slow, thoughtful drawl, while his fingers caressed his emooth-shaven chin, Yankee fashion. He is a long, le! urely person, with white haf shut as innate kindliness his he: cannot hide. Like Eben, his first and best known hero, he has proved him. self a master fisherman, and even @ brief interview one has glimpses o! the three qualities that mark the true born angler—gravity, tenacity and canniness. It might be added that they are likely to mark the true-born, undeteriorated New Englander. “There was Washington,” rumin- ated Mr. Bach after a brief pause during which he abstracted the door-key from the table in front of ulm, thus supplying his restless fin- gere with a new preoccupation. “He didn't have much schooling, but he bas left it on record that hi mother and father tadght him ail the things that were worth while, There was Lincoln, who educated himself by | ¢ the light of the pine knots from the family hearth.
