the French have to be themselves and

successfully, to initiate others, and as

not to attempt it. You won't see a

Possibly. But it's blind policy. The
Frenchwomen are attractive becau use

be as attractive if we follow our own

1T may be interesting to know that

the best builders in this country was
first exploited by the W. w Kimball
company of Chicago. more than Il

the methods of construction of the big

And there is another thing about this
lack of directness. I saw it in a play
recently. and it made me so impatient
I could hardly sit through it. People
seem to be the playthings of fate more
than of their own inactivity. A woman
goes through four whole acts in
wretchedness because she doesn't know
whether a certain man is dead or not
1t seems almost impossible that she
couldn't find out in this age of steam
cars, teIegr2Qhs and telephones, not to
speak Of mail service. But suppose she
needed the money to travel with? Well
couldn't she earn it and then go on,
stopping to earn some more and then
so on again if she wanted information
that was SO vital to her? But instead
of that she whines through four mortal
acts, crying, oh, me, oh, myl" and
wringing her hands, and, to cap the
climax, she has a father whose dignity
seems to be his first consideration (and
no wonder, for he has it in the stead
of brains). He does nothing but stalk
around and call down the blessing and
pity of heaven on her bowed head
Which is all very well, but 1 notice that
the blessings come quicker if you bestir
yourself ana do something. Well. am
not surprised at that in a man and
perhaps even less so in a father: lots
Of them are pretty Incompetent. And
men, too. are bound down by circum-
stance almost as much as women. with
this difference in favor of the woman
when she does cut loose and decide
to shoot straight for what she wants
she does it with the rapidity of chain
lightning and the thoroughness of a
surgical operation. And. as a rule, it
takes mans breath away.

it was not fairly won. The rules of
the contest provided that the rifles
used should be those regularly issued

charged that the rifles which the
Americans used were not of the pat
tern so issued. 1t is because there is
some ground for this charge that the
American association has decided that
it ought not to keep the trophy. The
