 There are two of these figures on each of the candlesticks.. and they are rest Ing on the marble pedestal that supports the reoeptacles for the candles.

 When I studied Latin I decided in my ignorance of things, that they were Rom ulus and Remus, but my old tutor gave me reasons as to why they were not either, but he failed to say what they were. He always had reasons for every thing. He was religiously inclined and tried to discover some Biblical figures. In fact a great many people have said that these figures were Adam and Eve and could see distinctly the semblance of trees In the garden of Eden. And while this requires most vivid imagination the Adam and Eve suggestion was for years accepted as the probable theme of the designer And l suppose that all great, great aunts were excessively pious.

The Smart Set"

The automobile has found permanent place in modern fiction, but no better motor car story has been written than 'The Pink Typhoon,' by Harrison Rob- ertson. which opens the April number of The Smart Set.
 There are stories which will appeal to every kind of reader, for instance, those who like a ghost story will find a par ticularly good one in "The Woman in Cray" which Ethel Watts Mumford tells. A humorous love story, '"The Way of a Maid" by John w. Knapp, will appeal to every lover of youth. and Franco s Lucky Penny" by Frederick Taber Coop CT, is a story of originality and strength. There is a Mardi Gras story, "The Dragon Fly" by M. F. M. Davis. wherein the author has captured the spirit of carnival time. Emma B. Kaufman contributes a thea atrical story entitled The Under study" Gertrude Lynch tells a love story called "The Man and the Bird" and Ellis Parker Butler has never been more hu- morous than in his story Non Compos Ments" Other fiction Is by Arthur Stan ley Wheeler, Clara F. Mcintyre. Roland Franklyn Andrews, q. We're Tyler and Willis Steell The essay by Gelett Bur gess, 'The Sulphitic Theory" Is perhaps the cleverest which The Smart Set has ever published,
 In the poetry there are lyrics from such writers as Bliss Carman, Charles c. n. Roberts, Lizette Woodwork Reese, Wal lace Irwin, Elsa Barker. Edward Wilbur Mason, Martha G. D. Blanchi, Edith M. Thomas and others
