How to ] N this city of New York, what working? According to the Rev. John Roach Btraton, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, these young persons can: Play guessing games and authors; attend gobd concerts; sing hymns and old-fashioned songs; take tramps in the country; go boating; go swim- ming; play baseball, football and basketball; play tennis; play billiards (at home or under proper auspices); attend candy-pulls; go on straw- rides; entertain their friends at home; &5 to church and Sunday school; visit museums; court each other—if they are ready to get married. I went to Dr. Straton to find out what, in his opinion, young men and women MAY do, because it is he who has given us such a long list of things they MAY NOT do—unless they wish to commit a sin, In Dr. Btraton’s sermons he has many times called attention to the wick- edness of golng to the theatre, going to the movies, wearing fashionable frocks, attending ‘boxing matches, playing baseball on Sunday, playing bridge, and indulging In other popu- lar pastimes. His opinion of dancing is probably best summed up in the following famous: limerick: “Said the Rev. Jabez McCotton, ‘The waltz |s devil-begotten.’, Said Jones to Miss Bly, ‘Don’t mind the old guy— To the pure, almost everything's rot- In Dr. Straton’s own recently Quoted, statement, “dancing must be g because \t means hugging.” ‘But young people must have some amusement,",I sald to Dr, Straton, when I found him in his study at No. 128 West 57th Street. “Just there 1s where you're wrong!" he declared, triumphantly. ‘That's re this age 1s wrong. It !s amuse- t mad. “Although [am a Baptist, I belteve in the old Presbyterian Shorter Cat- echisin.

It says, ‘The chief end of man ts to have a foo! time. Where do we go next?’ “Young people," Dr, Straton sald, not need amusement. They need ation—re-creation,” he repeated, ing the syllables, “which ts and a different thing.” , then, what are some of vour suggestions for re-crea- sted. “I should like to write a presertp- tion for the young people of to-day declared Dr. Straton. “Revive the old- fashioned candy-pull, the old-fash- foned straw-ride, the old-fashioned social gathering with games, the old- fashioned schvol commencement. Those recreations are far better and really far happier than the shimmy-shake, the commercialized sex plays, the pet- ung parties. “I'm not,’ the doctor insisted, “an 014 fogy.

They can go to the parks and boat, and play all the athletic games—baseball, foot- pall, basketball, tennis, They can go on long tramps Into the surrounding country.

Sparkling rubies and amethysts—no Jewels equalled the varied hue When quite young the ivy began to creep, But surely and unfalteringly she wound herself round Until she had covered branch and twig. And the branches grew hollow and weak, While the tvy waxed more beautiful every year, A man und a woman sat tn the sunset’s golden glow—in silence To-morrow they would leave the roof that had sheltered them, For all was gone and the future looked blank and bare. A rustling in the leaves of the ivy And the spirit of the tree came forth Through the fluttering leaves and knelt by the woman, whispering “You are like unto my poison tvy-—deautiful as a goddess; Her soft, clinging arms have enfolded me And made coward of me—I could not shake her off. More lovely every year she grew—yet always her eoft tendrils entwined me And drcw from me all my strength and power, Until lam hat a shadow—enough to bear her—no more.
