And that was just what Miss Chandler

looks and speech. But the advent of
Jack brought about startling change.

That nursery tale which has
charmed generations of children and

was written by French author. The
original of the character of Blue
Beard was marshal of France, who
lived in a Brittany, and who was
charged with numbering several wives
and over one hundred children. Being
convicted of sorcery, he was burned.
A singular popularity of his hair and
beard was its inky glossiness, which
in certain light appeared of an indi-
go tinge, and so won him the appeila-
ton which has rendered him immortal.
