to talk and display new gowns, and
whenever there is a meeting Of the
clans that club which produces the
best gowns is invariably referred TO as
the most progressive. Md yet nine
times out of ten it is the badly gowned
woman who makes a good speech.
From this / have drawn the conclu-
sion that the feminine mind cannot
compass gown designing and speech

The kind of club that I like most is

seventeen years he led the Liberal
party and alternately succeeded HIM
self and Lord Salisbury in the Prem-
iership-as one went down and the
other rose.
Upon his resignation, in 1895, he fa-
vored the Earl of RosebeTTy for Prem
Ter, and in his memorable speech in
the House of Commons, bidding fare
we'll to English public life and politics,
he himself placed the Queens proffer
of the Premiership in Lord Roseberry's
ossession-placed the sceptre of his
own power in Lord Roseberry's right
hand.
Since then, although out of public
life, he has been In it, and from time
to time has made stirring speeches in
favor of his old hobbies. Irish Home
Rule has been the aim of his life; and
for that he has spoken when he
should have been silent, has warred
when the instruments of strife were
forever laid down by him. He has had
the longest political career, by fifteen
years, of any Englishman, and by ten
years of any in the world.
Bismarck is a boy beside him in
point of time of public service, and
many of the prominent members OF
the House of Commons were boys at
Elton when Gladstone was the old man
"about to retire. Seventeen years
ago he was reported dying from old
age, yet to-day he comes out firm in
intellect and the author of new books
of prose and verse. But at last his
physical self is yielding, and he says
his life work will be done when he
makes one more speech on Home Rule.

Stuart Mill said of him: "He towers
SO high above us that we must view
him from the vista of history"
For the first time in his life, the
old Liberalist has been showing signs
Of weakness. In his long career of
sixty-five years of public life he has
never known one day Of real illness,
and would at this time be Premier of
England were it not for the distress
Ang malady that afflicts his eyes. He
Is dying of old age. His organs are
giving way all together, and one will
hardly wear out before the other. All
will 20 at once. Like a house with
uuicksand beneath it, he is gradually
sinking, and his measurement to-day
shows him to be feet inches, just
one inch shorter than he was last De-
cember, when he stood erect and
strong. In his vigor he stood feet IL
inches.
The career of this man has been as
threefold as it is possible for any one
life to be. His whole life has been
divided into periods of three. He is
a great believer in the luck Of three,
and he purposely had three steps con-
SLruCJcQ luJO ulo oCOAC al OOA III Inv
luck that three brings him. He reads
three books at one time to give his
mind three channels of thought. and
he invariably writes three letters be-
fore laying down, his pen. He reads
only three hours at time, and the
only variation in the rule is in favor
Of seven, for he takes seven hours of
sleep day and seven hours of recrea-
ton.
William Ewart Gladstone was born
In Liverpool, December 20, 1909. He
was the son of rich merchant of Lam
cashire. The family was of Scottish
descent, with an illustrious pedigree
In Burke's Peerage. In Gladstone
toyhood George Canning was the con-
trolling influence, and the years OF his
boyhood was passed during the time
that Wellington won Waterloo and
Napoleon became an exile. He was
student at Elton in 1921 when Napoleon
died, and for six years he was pupil
under Dr. Turner, afterwards the IA
nous Bishop of Calcutta.
In 1882 his public life began. He
was elected member of Parliament,
and in 1888 became force, at the age
Of twenty-four years. At twenty five
be became Junior Lord of the Treas

these then they want man to fall back
