III woMAN'5 IDEAL SUMMER RESORT.
nv The. ideal summer resort seems to be
something unattainable to the feminine
u mind. She wants salt water to battle in,
and yet she prefers that the salt water
\ shouldn't be billowy, and knock her down.
N Then she wants q sandy beach, but not
one that's too sandy, and which will cause
Its grains to get into her low shoes, but
still sandy enough for the children to dig
Mis hotel, conducted ON hotel principles,
ifshould be soclable and yet she gets raving
Epad when, after lot of sociability, she
DISCOVERS that her newly made acquaint-
y lnces criticse her as well as the other
.tpeople who are about. Back of the hotel
she wants the mountains, because she likes
the mountain air once in a while, and she
likes the children to go there on a picnic,
put she hopes most earnestly that il wont

b. no poison ivy. Then in the hotels she
\ wishes it distinctly understood that she
desires a number Of closets, and it never
dawns on erthatifsh had as many closets
10 she wanted the hotel would be short
about ten rooms. Then, although it's dis
dnctly understood that maids and servants
are 10 be kept out of kitchens and aun-
dries, she can't be made to understand that
the discipline Of the hotel wont allow her
maid to go in and do a little fine washing
for her. She don't care whether anybody
else's maid gets there or not. oh, lovely

AN AUTHORS EXCUSE PoR JUDAS.
Have you read Jerome X. Jerome's new
book? It's called the "Story Of Pill
tgrimage," and has in 1t the best descrip-
ton of the Passion Play that have ever
lread and have read them until wished
IShat Oberammergau had never existed.
But this one, beside telling about the play,
tells of the impression made by the people
lin it, and Mr., Jerome dares to do that most
t1wonderful Of things-he makes an excuse
Ind 10 hat !, x.+au t-
That although he sold his Lord and Master,
Although he committed the basest of crimes,
a urned traitor and informer, he did 1t for
khe same reason that we are all struggling
= }to.day-to gain money. He did it because
>of the gold, without a realizing sense of
the dreadful thing he was doing.
IN WHAT POVERTY REALLY MEANS.
n Maybe you know, my friend, how hard
lit is to be poor. If you do, get this book
and see what jerome says about It, Maybe
you don't know what it is to be poor,
\ maybe you have got plenty of money. IL
N you have, then, Tor Gods sake, let the
n people who haven't gain some benefit
II from it. Our prisons are filled with men
who became criminals because they needed
II money; our streets are paraded by women
with vice-hardened faces, with bold,
Haunting manners, who have become
II what they are because they wanted money.
III We can't have an honest politician because
n of money. We can't even have straight
n horse race because of money. 1t gets all
II the most beautiful things in the world and
l 1t brings down upon the world all the
most sinful. tell you, it's not easy to
be poor. 1t is easy to be poor in very
grand way, and let oil the world know
about it and die in halo of unhappiness
4 that will set the world a-talking. and then
monument will be raised to you after
N wards; but it's very hard TO be poor when
1you are a pretty young girl. and want a
l-lparty dress; when you are boy and want
J Ito go to a football match and have TO
,tstick in an office. When you are woman
~ and would like to have home Of your
Town, and yet You live in one room among
fhtrangers When You are man and
s3would like to take care of the woman you
seilove and can't do it because you haven't
tifgot the money. II isn't easy to be poor. /
Nam not making special plea for Judas. |
bahayent the ability of Mr.. Jerome. I'm a
d long way after him, but ] ask you did
"a you ever see picture of Judas done by
IN great painterf And when l say a great
painter mean one who can understand
s the hearts as well as the bodies of men,
and who can think out the why and
4 wherefore and put it in their faces.
II JEROME AND RUDYARD KrPLING.
t,i He made Judas look sensitive intellec-
on tual man with just a slight line that told
n you of his desire for money. 1t was
N marvellous piece of work and it gave the
] keynote to the mans character. But
4 there's no use my saying anything about
2 this. Just get the book and then you will
have something that is like rainbow,
s first one color and then another always
with hope in it while it tells of some sad
things and always with an undercurrent
of ioyfulnese that ought to make the bOuks
