That clothes made the man was as
much a trite truth in Dante's day as
now, according to an old story told by
Sercambi. Dante was invited by "a
king to dine with him, along with a
few other chosen friends. but he came

place below the salt and was over

the feast was over, when the king, hav-
Ing recollected himself, asked:
BY the bye, what has become Of the
poet I had Intended to talk to?'' f. "
Dante, offended and hurt by the
slight, had taken his departure, but re-
turned when followed and invited
anew. This time he came to supper
superbly dressed in crimson velvet and
gold and was served with extreme at
tention, but the courtiers observed with
amazement that he poured the soup
down his sleeves, tucked outlets into
his breast and smeared his rich attire
with sauces. 5::. %l.t

It was big sisters wedding day, and
mother was in the kitchen helping the
cook. Little sister was there, too, and
added frayed nerves to the excitement
by demanding to know every other
minute what a marriage was.
Finally mother became exasperated.
If you speak again." she said, sI'll
show You what a marriage is" and lit
tie sister sat down very ,meekiy. i
But little sister had caught the ex-
element and could not keep quiet.
Just as mother and the cook were bust
est she asked her question again. For
full minute the kitchen resounded
with walls, and then mother placed lit
tie sister on the chair again.
''Now," she said, "you know what
marriage is" # #ts.
That night the clergyman stood un-
der the marriage bell in the parlor.
Into the room came big sister on the
arm of her father. Halfway up the
stairs little sister watched her through
the door and cried softly. Finally she
could stand it no longer.

begin form came flying down the
