Most girls know this. Many do
not. The latter sort carry themselves

to make a good marriage. In fact,
they create a bad impression every

Thus there was a girl-a Fassar

Help came at last in the shape Of q

Il portrait with which he was familiar
because he had seen it thirty years
before. On consulting his catalogue he
discovered that the portrait was de-
scribed as being that of 4 man un-
known, and, further, the artist was
also unknown. Now, he knew that the
portrait was that OF famous actor by
a famous English painter. He longed
to buy it, but decided that it would
go at too high a price. He went to the
auction with very little hope. The
Whistler and the Sargent were sold,
and then it was the turn OF this picture.
Nobody recognized it. Finally he had
to start the bidding himself, and this
he did. Only one man bid against him,
but he soon stopped, discouraged, and
then the picture was knocked down to
the man who had never expected to
get it. He hurried to the desk to pay
the small amount and to carry of his
prize. "Do you happen to know any
thing about that portrait?' the auc-
tioneer asked him as a porter took 1t

the inventor selected to make the eX-

He had had little experience with the
Turtle and was therefore lneXpert.
Lee. however, successfully navigated
the Turtle under the Eagle. he at

Nothing could be said in greater
praise of a people than that they like
sweets. It shows Il wholesome. vigor-

not jaded from excessive indulgence.
The child whose appetite has not be-
come polluted or calloused by false
relishes, smarting sauces and burning
drinks loves sweets: SO does the girl Of
bright eyes and untainted youth, as IS
evidenced BIZ her fondaess for ice
creams and desserts. The young ath-
lete among men loves sweets nearly as
well as does the child. But the bar
room lounger, the cigarette fend,"
the "dope fend" and the depraved of
all other classes do not like sweets.
Long ago their minds and appetites
lost the desire for everything pleasing

himself for the advancement Of art,
his keen perception Of beautiful char

Incident Of many, says Harper's Week

help to illumine masterpiece Of his
which has perpleXed some minds that
may be worth the enlightening. "The
work is the figure of 'Nirvana' in the
Rock Creek cemetery at Washington.
st. GaudenS was in Washington IN
the winter of 1902, making his beauti-
full relief Of Wayne MacVeagh and
Mrs. Macveash, and Hildesarde Haw-
thorne was there, too, and visited more
than once that dreaming figure in the
cemetery. At last she was moved to
write some verses, which she sent to
q magazine, but the editor thought that
he had seen verses on the sculptor's
work that better expressed its sentl-
ments, and returned the verses with
the stimulating suggestion that some
day he would show the young woman
some real poetry about the figure. St.
Gaudcns, too, had seen both poems,
and when he heard of this expression

said that Hildegarle Hawthorne had
OWNED his intention as no writer had
done, and therefore the verses are in
