That was the headline and the story. It is an interesting citation of comparative news values. In London of the eighties snd nineties, fame was bestowed when Auband rey Beardsley, Burne-Jone- s Watts painted the portrait of any new entrant. Thus Lily Langtry was converted from a singularly inactress to a ept and fumble-foote- d great lady of the atage. Sarojini Naidu was both beautiful and intelligent. Ignoring veil and caste, the first of her Brahmin line to do so, she entered Girton, at Cambridge. Sir Edmund Gosse discovered her poetry and gave it hie august literary sanction. The above painters rushed in with their mahl sticks and brushes, and the poets with psnltery and harp Ernest Dowson among them Richard Le Gallienne and Max Bcerbohm in their wake. Her poems were recited, sung, chanted at all great salons. Like Lindbergh, then in times suspense file, she climbed down from her Pegasus to a blare of fame and adulation. Her gorgeous native dress, her beauty, her silken sari, her exquisite voice, her enchanting verse were more familiar to the empire than the growing tension of Johannesburg, Algccirns, and Agadir. She went back to India to war on the incoming machine age which was to make the later I.indhergh the Siegfried of its iron nlebelung. She put aside her silken gown snd wore the coarse "khaddar" of Gandhis early civil disobedience movement. She went to jail, two or three years altogether. She married out of her caste, assailed the caste system, led crowds through the city streets, gave her property to the nationalist movement. In 1925, she became president of the Indian national congress. In England they still sing her poems, set to music by Liza Lehman and Coleridge Taylor. She is fifty-si-x years old, the mother of four children, with a slight figure and lined, gentle face, an ally of Annie Besant in the swaraj" movement in the latter's years. A strange transit of epochs and cultures, this, stirring an astronomical blush over the seven seas. salon was SaroThe Burne-Jone- s jini Naidu's Le Bourget field. It would be interesting to eavesdrop at a heart-to-hea-rt talk between the colonel and the poetess about conformity and dissent and whether it is better to go to glory or to jail, and whether she is sorry she ever put aside her silken gown. At any rate, in Lindbergh, she hymns chivalry and courage, no matter what she thinks of his epoch. Those last-minu- te alibis for are not always true ones. The real facts may be: A thin syrup of sugar and water flavored with almond essence is good to sweeten fruit cup.
