GARDEN PARTIES AND READINGS OF EVELYN MILLER.

American High Society thrives on a spectacle and there is no bigger trend in the dinner dances, musicals and garden parties attended by the elites of the era than that of the writings of Evelyn Miller. His musings on nature, simplicity and the rights of savages are all the topics of conversation over a luncheon or mild tea. His ideas seem to penetrate the aristocratic cranium in such a way that readers can speak of little else.

In some circles, they seem to prefer that the thoughts of Mr. Miller become social law. Indeed Mr. Miller spends plenty of time in the social strata where he is a topic of conversation - he is often seen at a garden party and was present at the famed Mayor's Ball in Saint Denis this year, while visiting the region on a sabbatical from his teaching job in New Haven, Connecticut.

While it is surely a delightful social life discussing philosophy while watching regattas or in mansions with fashionable people, it is this newspaper's opinion that at the heart of Mr. Miller's writings is a basic disdain for "others" who due to social position have not achieved his level of enlightenment. He, like others of his kind, is a dandy and fraud masquerading as a man of nature and the arts. We as a people can do better than to worship this false idol.
