and certainly the. case of Polly and Mr. Robert
Harrington Pierce was desperate. Only once dur

Ohaperon to poke her pretty nose.

little more fervor than was really necessary.
"Oh, he was willing" Polly fastened to say,
but I'm not familiar with that car" She favored
Mr. Pierce with look that set his heart thump-

He said things inwardly. He had been drifting
too long. Everything had been too easy. Now

smoked his cigarette, and when the Chaperon's

RECLUSE 80 YEARS
IN FAIRY PALACE.
Mime. De Prsvisny Dead After
Her Long Life OF Mourning For
Her Husband.

Nine. De Previgny is dead after
having lived fifty years in her fairy
palace in the Boulevard Poissonniere
without ever looking out upon the
street or leaving the house. writes
the Paris correspondent of the New
York American. Her last will and
testament provides that the palace
and park be turned into a home for
the aged. For the administration Of
the home she left a capital Of 10000.
600 francs (s2.000.000).
After the funeral OF the eccentric
old lady the relatives hired a number
Of mechanics 10 open the windows OF
the house and the gates Of the palace
and gardens. For fifty long years the
shutters on the boulevard side of the
great mansion had been nailed down,
and communication with the outer
world was had only by a small door
in the wall which surrounded the
palace on all sides.
When Nine. De Previgny, nov de-
ceased, entered the palace for ths
first time as its chatelaine, she was
just turning twenty and bride. Al

hour after the wedding ceremony.
her young husband fell from his
chair, dead. The bride, thus sudden.
ly made a widow, dismissed her rela.
tives and other guests, and, calling
her servants together, asked which OF
them were willing to remain under
the following conditions:
The mansion to be closed up tight;
the horses to be disposed of, and no
direct communication with the outer
world was to be had under any cir
cumstances.
Twelve servants accepted the con-
ditions. OF them five are still alive,
having shared their mistress incar-
ceration to the last. During the fifty
years of their residence in the closed
mansion they never saw a newspaper.
never talked to an outsider. They
never. heard of the downfall of Napo-
leon, OF Bismarck at Versailles, OF

of the invention of the telephone, BIZ
cycle, automobile orthe electric light.
The servants were content to vege-
tate, hoping for their final reward in
the shape of a capital of half a mill
ion francs which the rich recluss
promised to all who remained with
her.
During. these fifty years Nine. De
Previgny ordered annually of one OF
the big man milliners twelve white
silk gowns, with undergarments and
slippers to match. for she chose to be
always attired as on the day of her
bridehood and widowhood. On ths
first of every month she donned a
new bridal robe. OF this years sup

Long waists and short waists all look

that the model can be moved up and

Roadless America.

From the maledictions scattered
broadcast in the mire OF roadless
America by despairing bicyclists
fifteen years ago hopes of better
things have taken root. No gift OF
prophecy is now required to foresee a
time when these hopes will have so
far materialized that a team, IL ii is

empty wagon over the gumbo roads
of the Mississippi Valley in spring.
and the public highways of the South
will be so we'll buoyed that light
draught automobiles may navigate
them in comparative safety.
From every part of the coupxry
comes the same encouraging news.
Sixteen States now have highway
commissions that are trying in va
rious ways TO supply the greatest
need of the nation, which is good

which. in 1905, voted TO expend $780,
900. 900 in bailding roads. Under
the plan adopted the State will build

the principal cities. and pay one-half

At the other extreme is Iowa, the

Ages of Cabinet Ministers.

A calculating Canadian has been
reckoning up the ages of Cabinet
ministers in his own country and in
ours. lie arrives at the conclusion
that Mr.. Asquith's government is con-
siderably the more Juvenile OF the
two. The average age OF the British
Cabinet is fifty-two. whereas that of
the Canadian is sixty-one. There are
ten British ministers under fifty and
only three Canadian. No Canadian
minister is under forty, whereas We
have two in the thirties-Mr. Church,
i'll and Mr.. Runciman. The youngest

forty-two. He recently went on
