In approaching a god the Romans

In pagan times the king was always

evolution. There are those who sneer
A. the society and all kindred organiza-
lions. and, while cannot rid myself of the
snspicion that there is something of sour
i grapes in the sneers, I am willing to con-
cede that most of the cheap sarcasm on
the subject arises from ignorance of what
the society has really accomplished.
at cannot be doubted that the present
vide-spread interest in colonial and revo-
iutionary history is due to the influence
Of the Daughters. The number of histor-
ioal places they have rescued from obliv-
ION and the number of historical docu-
ments they have saved from destruction Is
vastly greater than the outsider guesses.
Thirty thousand-I believe the member
ship of the society reaches something near
that figure-SO,O0O women do not delve into
family history without turning up a great
deal of interest and Importance. Thirty
thousand women do not set out to foster
something. and $1,000 women do not meet
here and there all over the country with
out learning a valuable deal about paria-
mentary usage.

Stronger far than fame or glory

When the violets star the pillows

Coming when the winds together

The most historic rings in existence are
the four which We're presented by Pope In
nocent to King John. The monarch was
urged to note with extreme care the shape
of the rings, their number, color and mat
ter.
The number four, being a square, typi-
fed firmness of mind, fixed steadfastly on
the four cardinal virtues. The blue color
of the sapphire denoted faith, the green
of the emerald hope, the crimson Of the
ruby charity and the splendor of the to-
paz good works.
The rings themselves represented eternity
with neither beginning nor end. and the
gold, according to Solomon, the most pre-
cious of metals, signited wisdom, more to
be desired than riches and power.
The New York Press has the following
reflections of a bachelor.
Most women would rather be pursued and

When woman finds a sentimental play
too long it is either her shoes or her stays.
No matter how much a man likes differ
