ROMANCE THAT YET is REAL.
History Records Facts We Hesitate to
Set Down as Such.

A peasant girl called half-witted did
promise TO defeat the yictors OF Agin-
court. and did it; ii ought TO be a
legend but 1t happens TO be fact. A
poet and poetess did fall in love and
eloped secretly to a sunny cline; il
is obviously three-yolume novel, but
it happened. Nelson did die in the act
of winning the one battle that could
change the world. II is grossly ing
probable coincidence, but 1t Is too
late to alter II. now. Napoleon did win
the battle Of Austerlitz 1t Is unnatur.
al, but IL Is not my fault. When the
general who had surrendered d repub.
lican town returned saying easily: Il
have done everything" Robespierre
did ask, with AN air of inquiry: Are
you dead?" When Robespierre eoughed
in his cold harangue, Garnfer did say:
The blood OF Danton ehokes you"
STAFFORD did say OF his own desertion
of parliament: II ] do 1t may my life
and death be set on hill for all men

The time will come when you shall

The heroic is fact, even when IL is
a fact of coincidence or of miracle;
and a fact is thing which can be adj

cul, Of Beauty In Bosnia.

Half century ago a traveller in
Bosnia found the poorest peasant
woman an adept In the arts and ad-
iuncts Of the toilet.
Her store OF cosmetics was said to
be astonishing" comprising oil Of
roses, rose water, extracts of musk.
saffron and amber. She dyed her hair
black and dressed with with "kna"
while her eyebrows and eyelashes were
iarkened with a powder made from a
green nut burned black (schisehlrk).
She painted her cheeks with powdered
aower Of the iris and her nails with
yet another floral product For a de-
pilatory she used lime and alum.
In spite Of these aids. however. the
beauty of the Bosnia woman was a
tading thing at 80.

he doesn't work at it regularly because

His wife takes his name, his credit.
ors take his money, his tailor takes

him seriously.
He takes pride TO himself In his in
domitable will. but it only needs an
S9-cent alarm clock to wake him up
in the morning.
He stands at the altar with his bride
and is pleased with his looks. And all
the time her relations are wondering
where she ever ran into him.

potatoes and few to the hill, and
usually about as necessary as

WHY HIS ADVERTISING DID NOT

He did not know that a fatal reac

He did not make his advertisement

He did not follow up his advertise
