Luckess playwrights of low degree who have ex-
perienced the humiliation of benoding their work pro-
duced before cold and unappreciative audiences may
find quite deal of comfort in tho recent joint failure
scored by Rudyard kipins and Poet Laureate Austin
creators of footlisht literature.
1t is true that, in this instance, Kipng repre-
sented only by one of his stories, The Man Who
Was. and that the dramatization done by an
other hand. Still. remembering that success would
have been credited the storys author it is but fair
that the failure should be charged to his account And
it 4 deplorable failure. something which a

"Flodden Field that effort must have been even
worse than Mr.. Austins poetry. if such thing We're
possible This play produced at the charita-

Duration of Beauty By the Late Max OReM

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPU Bile
Descarter, Montesquleu. Scribe. Stahl and
many other famous writer's of modern
times. not to speak of philosophers of an
tlquity. have decred beauty and warned
mankind against its illus ms. and especial
ly its short duration. without succeeding.
| must say, in disgusting the world out Of
II.
True. beauty does not last forever: but
who would think of singing the praises
Of ugl!ness because It does last? And,
for that matter. am of the opinion that
beauty does last
| have known men quite hands me at 70
and women quite beautiful at the same age.
And even if it did rot last. what OF that?
Are We not to admire the sun because it
is followed by night and obscUrity? Are
We to despise spring because it is replaced
by winter one day?
Wise parents say to young men: Be
sure that you do not marry woman for
the sake of her beauty. Marry woman
FIR her lasting qualities. not for such an
cphcmeral one beauty
Upon my word. to hear some people talk
YOU would imagine that the beauty of 4
woman is a thing that lasts year at most.

POEMS WORTH KNOWING.
LINES TO THE STORMY PETREL.
ANONYMOUS.

The lark sings for joy in her own loved land.
In the furrowed field, by the breezes famed;
And revel
In the furrowed sea,
As joyous and glad as the lark can be.
On the placid breast of the inland lake
The wild duck delights her pastime to take:
But the petrol braves
The wild ocean waves,
His wing in the foamins billow he laves.
Tho halcyon loves in the noontide beam
To follow his sport on the tranquil stream:
He fishes at case
In the summer breeze.
But we 90 angling in the stormiest seas.
No song note have We but a piping cry.
That blends with the storm when the wind
Is high,
When the land birds wall
We sport in the gale,
And merriiy over the ocean we sail
