Two Conspicuous Instances of Its

From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
NJ. Challemel-Lacour, distinguished
member of the French Academy. who
died lately, was noted for his tact and
readiness in social emergencies. Both

Challemel-Lacour was sent as ambassa-
dor from France to the Swiss confedera-
ton. He called in due form on his ar
rival on the President. The servant who
opened the door said that his excellency

the visitor should come in and wait. The

The interview being over he went home

or al the qualities once essential to a
sovereign, the one most useful now is tact.
Queen Margherita of Italy, who belongs to
a house trained TO kngcraft for more than
a thousand years is said to be wonderfully
skiful in dealing with sociai difficulties
An incident which occurred at one of her
drawing rooms illustrates her readiness
and delcacy
The persons who are to be presented at
the Roman court are arranged in a .arge
semi-circie in the throne room. The queen
enters and passes around the line attend
ed by a chamberlain who names each per-
son, adding usually a word or two to give
the queen some idea Of their claim to no
tice She asks a question or makes a re-
mark to each and passes on.
On this occasion there was I'm the line
young man from South America whose en-
barrassmeut showed itself In pale checks
and terrified glances as the queen drew
nearer At last she reached him and
stopped. He heard his name, saw her
smile. There was a roaring in his ears
his knees shook. Every eye was bent
upon him with amused interest, his ter
ror was so perceptlble
From Brazil?" she asked "And what
town in Brazi. is your home. Signor?'
"I-your majesty-I don't knowi" he
gasped.
The whole circle smiled; but the queens
face was as "aim as marble. you mean
that our beautiful Italy already has made
you forget your home? An. sgnor. you

him she passed on, leaving him wondering
how he came tc make so brilliant a re-

RUsKIN'S ROMANCE.
Denied n sight Of His Love When She
Was on Her Denthbed.
L


From Leslle'e Weekly.
Very little is heard nowadays Of John
Ruskin, but the venerable sage is stin liv-
ing in retirement at Brentwood, while the
years pass on and art increases without
his heed. He Is dreaming away the last
days of his life peacefully Planning always
for more work 10 be done Tomorrow.
His twilight time is passed by a wide win
dow looking out from his library across
the English landscape. so beautiful always
In his sight. He receives no visitors eX-
cepting a few old friends, and these come
but rarely. His hair and long beard are
white. but his features scarcely show his
great age, while his eyes are as keen and
brilliant as when they gazed upon the
beauties of Italy or the fresh canvases Of
Turner The public has known but little
Of Ruskins private life and there has al
way prevailed an idea that II was filled
with sorrow, from the fact that he was d.
vorced from his wife because Of her hav-
ing fallen In love with Sir John Mllals, his
friend. The story Is really a sad one. and
yet Il was not taken to heart by Ruskin.
10 should be remembered that the young
Mrs. Ruskin was not his FIRST love- the OBJ
feet Of the ardent passion Of his youth
having married another. That was when
the heart-break came. Years after his
divorce Ruskiu met another woman whom
ne loved and to whom he was engaged for
several years, but the engagement was
broken because Of Ruskn's unorthodox
religious beliefs. She was resoute. but Il
Is said the grief OF II al killed her. When
she was dying Ruskin came 10 her. but
was not admitted, for she sent out this
message: "Can you say you love God bet
ter than you love me2" and when his am
swor came. mo" the door was closed up
on him forever. Ruskin's early life was
not one OF great enjoyment, yet IN no way
particularly sad. He was born In Blooms
bury In 1919. He was reared on Puritan
zeal principles. his mother having been q
stern woman with little affection, while his
father was tender. loving and sensitive.
with high principles. but devoid OF ambi-
ton. lie was "a wine merchant OF means.
