which stands near the New York city
hall. Neither had any portrait of Hale
upon which to work, for none exists.
They had to be guided by the descrip-
tions of the hero which have been
handed down and by their own con
ceptions Of his appearance and express
sion.
Each statue has its own special ad-
mirers. Hale was twenty-one at the
time Of his cruel death. Perhaps he
seems more boyish in the statue by
MacMonnies. Partridge has succeeded
well in expressing in the features OF
his Hale the patriotic fervor OF the
Young enthusiast in the cause of the
new nation and his athletic qualities.
The hero was about six feet tall and
could put his hand on fence as hlgh
as his head and clear it with bound.
The spot on the Yale campus where he
made the famous jump that marked
him as the best all around athlete OF
the college was shown for years after
his time. He Is said to have possessed
not only ideal proportions, but grace
and charm which endeared him to all
he met. Yale men are enthusiastic
over the manner in which Mr.. Par
fridge has met their ideals in the por
trayal Of Hale.

Horizon.

A man calls it the horizon where the
earth and the sky seem to meet, but a
woman's notion Of the horizon is the
families she can see moving in from
behind her front window curtains. IT.,
further, they hang out their washing
In a spirit of candor, they are, OF
course, all the more so. The horizon
is caused by a number of things, chief
among them the gregarious instinct.
Only for this next door would mean as
little as tariff revision or pure food OF
international arbitration. 1t takes a
star or something Of that sort to rise
above the horizon, but very ordinary
woman may feel above it.-Life.
