going in disguise to low tavern to
Rillon deciaim a reasonable ballad
with the refrain IF Villon Were the
King Of France" and in resentment
Determines to hang him.
Meanwhile Villon has fallen in love
with Katherine de Vaucelles, beau
tiful lady of the court, and to ayenge
IN insult offered her he fights a
uuel with and severely wounds Thi-
baui D'Aussigney, grand constable of
France.
The king is delighted, because
DAussigney is suspected of treach-
cry. In a spirit of grim sport,
Though not unmixed with supersti-
fion, he clothes Villon with his oppo-
hent's robes of office and makes him
grand constable for one week At
the end of that time he must be
hanged for the reasonable ballads.
upless-and here Louis plans a dou-
BILE revenge-he wins the hand of
katherine do Vaucelles, who has re-
pulsed the amorous advances of the
king. Villon accepts the conditions
and wooes Katherine with all the
fervor of his poetic nature.
There comes a time when he seems
IN danger Of losing her, as on the
eve of battle he confesses that though
temporarily grand constable, he is
only Francois Villon. He is repulsed
with scorn, and I'm the final act the

OF all the gaiety going on this
week 1t seems as though / might
nnd something more interesting TO
talk about than myself. but suppose
that's a subject of unfailing interest
to all US weak mortals. Some place
back in a dark, cobwebby cell of my
brain lies the impression Of hearing
something to the effect Of, Lord.
Lord! how this world is given to
lying and what recalls It ii the num-
Der of times have heard these feeble
articles of mine fnisquoted. Did you
ever realize how hard it is FOR people
in general to stick to the plain and
unvafnished truth? They can't do 1t.
This may mean "you."
s, Heeing - many people as we have
this week of weeks in the social
calendar has called forth this mild
tiraAe upon OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. We
have had plenty of occasions to talk
things over and still over again.
First UP at Mrs. Walter Ogden's at
her lawn party. and 1 don't believe
we all realized what a pretty lawn
they have until it was dotted over
with groups Of pretty and we'll Dress
ed women who were being received
by an equally attractive group of
women, for Mrs. Ogden was assisted
by. first, Mrs. Weeks and Mrs. Cor
bett, who ushered you on to Mrs.
Ogden. Mrs. Paterson, Mrs. Richard
son, Mrs. Sivyer and Mrs. Saylor.
Mrs. Curtis presided at the tea table
and Miss Weymouth and Mrs. Smith
at the punch bowl. Miss Happy
Miss Ella Clark, Edna Smith, Miss
Cook and Miss Merryweather assisted
Mrs. Kimball in dispensing most de-
licious tutti frutti Ice cream and
cake.
But farther back in the week, last
Saturday. Mrs. Porter gave lovely
card party. There were about eight
tables and all went we'll until some
body went around and said, "Oh, Mrs.
Somebody has 1000 points," and, of
course. the players who heard that
dropped out of the race and said
nothing about their scores and didn't
hand in cards and the prize was
awarded and afterward 1t was found
that somebody had a much higher
score, and, would you believe it, the
winner gave up the prize gracefully
Not a bit Of it! And still women say
they would enjoy playing just as
much without prizes. I doubt it.
That reminds me of the enormous
card party Mrs. Kerl and Mrs. Ell
tinge gave yesterday-25 tables I be-
take care of at once. They had beau
tiful hand-painted score cards and the
house was a small edition rose fair
in every corner "Of course" as usual
Mrs. Greenwood walked off with the
prize, a most beautiful bunch of
white roses That's a taking little
way she has of doing generally and
it's too bad she can't consult with
her hostesses before purchasing
their prizes so that she might get
just what she wants. She has be-
come almost professional at this
sort of business-and professionals
ought to be barred.
