Every idea we have is run into a consti- 

 tution. We cannot think without a chair- 

 man. Our whims have secretaries; our 

 fads have by-laws. Literature is a club. 

 Philosophy is a society. Our reforms are 

 mass meetings. Our culture is a summer 

 school. We cannot mourn our mighty dead 

 without Carnegie Hall and forty vice-presi- 

 dents. We awe the impenitent with crowds, 

 convert the world with boards, and save 

 the lost with delegates; and how Jesus of 

 Nazareth could have done so great a work 

 without being on a committee is beyond 

 our ken. Where is the man who, guileless- 

 eyed, can look in his brother's face; can 

 declare upon his honour that he has never 

 been a delegate, never belonged to anything, 

 never been nominated, elected, imposed on, 

 in his life ? —

Dependable Evergreens 



For September Planting 



CONFIDENCE is the basis of all business. To feel beyond 

 any doubt that every evergreen, large or small, that you 

 buy of Bay State Nurseries will be top notch stock, several 

 times transplanted and lifted with a ball of earth, gives you an 

 assurance of exactly what you most want to be assured. 



To know that the packing of all Bay State Stock will be done 

 in the liberal, careful way that reduces losses to the minimum; 

 is a certainty of which you know you can feel certain. 



Evergreens transplant successfully in September. Try it with 

 some Bay State Dependable Trees. Send for catalog.

Elizabeth Calvert Hall 

 Says of "Virginia" 



"'In this world,' says Maeterlinck, 'there 

 are thousands of weak noble creatures who 

 fancy that sacrifice always must be the last 

 word of duty; thousands of beautiful souls 

 that know not what should be done and seek 

 only to yield up their life, holding that virtue 

 to be supreme.' 



"Virginia is one of these 'beautiful souls.' 

 She spends her time searching on 'the dial 

 of life' to find 'the hour of self-sacrifice,' 

 and the story of how she yielded up her 

 existence to her husband and her children is 

 told with Ellen Glasgow's most finished art. 

 It is a story for any man and any woman."
