It IS, after all, as old as Eden, this
question of beauty in Eve and all her
daughters. 1t is ever discussed and
brilliant phrases, classified in text
books, measured by scientists,
preached by creeds, grasped almost by
poetic hands, yet the essence OF it
escapes us still. Through the vegetable
and mineral worlds some sentient
force produces beauty which at last
attains its conSummat ton in the form
Of woman And in its contamination
1t rules the world, striking with its
wand all natures and nations, how
ever diverse The poet mingles the
airs of Heaven, the mysteries of in
animate nature, the breath of flowers
with his definition of the loveliest
woman:

Of cloGdless chimes ana starry skies;

not been withered by the bitter fruits

he said. And 50 the matter goes, con-
fusing us all. until our own sage of
Concord gravely settles it thus:
Beauty is the moment of transition,
as If the form were just ready to flow
into other forms. Any fXedness,
heaping or concentration on one
feature-a long nose sharp chin--is
the reverse of flowing, and therefore
deformed.'

A Copfe..lon FROM Miss wiIEIn..

Mary E. Wilkins 'fesses up" to
the following story about her youth
full days: When Miss Wilkins was a
young girl, she was invited to a
party, and she yearned with great
yearning for a blue sash to adorn
herself for the occasion. But her
mother thought differently, and Mary
was obliged to content herself with q
blue ribbon tied around her waist.
But another little girl was more
lucky and appeared in the full glory
of wide blue sash. Miss Wilkins
at once took all the life out Of that
other little girl by telling her, in a
superior way, that sashes were all,
oh, all out of style, and ribbons were
the only garniture self respecting
waist would acknowledge. Miss Will
kins characterizes this conduct OF
hers as "a piece of cattishness" and
processes repentance. Exchange.

April through the streets Of the metrop
Oils, cheered at every step on their way
by admiring thousands. 1t was q spec
tacle TO bring tears to the eyes, and
makes one confident Of the coming Of the
golden age of fraternity. But the most
striking thing about this parade, as also
it was in the mustered crews on ship
board the preceding day, was that the
crews to us did not look like foreigners.
The simple reason of this was that there
was no nationality on display Of which
we have not abundant types in this coun-
try with which we are perfectly famil-
lar. The tars who marched, whatever
their features or complexion, whateyer
flag they carried, could find their own
kind among the admiring throng that
cheered them.

he writes upside down. The letters
are all inverted as he looks at them
when writing And again, in per-
forming this feat, which one thinks
would require all the power and at
tention of his brain, he is not dis
turbed by carrying on a conversation

subject may be.
Maier's performance would make
one almost believe the theory recent

the sentence verbatim, starting at
the last letter of the last word and
finishing it Though to the first letter

natural to bim to invert his mind in
his work, for he never falters or
stops to think, but writes as rapidly
as person writing in the ordinary
way.
