The Romance Of a Composer.

Benedelto Marcello. one OF the most
famous Venetian composers, fell in
love with beautiful girl named Leo.
nora Manfrotti, who married Paolo
Seranzo, a Venetian noble. She died
a short time after her marriage, a VIC
tim to the harsh and Jealous treatment
of her husband.
Her body was laid out in state in
the Church of Wei Frari and her lover
actually succeeded in stealing the
corpse and conveying 1t to a ruined
crypt in one of the islands, and here
he sat day and night by his lost love,
singing and playing to her as though
by the force of his art he could recall
her to life.
Leonora had twin sister, Eliade,
who was SO like her that her closest
friends could scarcely distinguish
them. One day Eliade heard singer
In gondola singing so exquisitely
that she traced the gondola to the de-
serted island, and there she learned
later the fate of her sisters corpse
and the identity Of Marcello. Aided
by servant Eliade substituted her
self for her sisters body, and when
he found out the deception, was quite
satisfied and married Elaide, but his
happiness was short lived, as he died
few years afterward.-Home Notes.

Notes and
Comment
SHALL Welded WOMEN WoR {,
Eminent Authorities Discuss the Cues.
or Interest to Women Readers

Eminent Authorities Discuss the Cues
ton Of "The Woman's INVASION"
shall women work after marriage?
That is so large a question that 1t Will
be merely suggested and then laid on
the table for future discussion" says
William Hard.
Only three incidental remarks will
be here made about it.
First 1t is question that may set
tie itself without much help. Many
students think so among them the
President of Bryn Mawr College. who
said not long ago that everything
seems to indicate that women will not
only make their way into all except a
few trades and professions, but that
they will be compelled by economic
causes to stay in them after mar
riage."
Second: Work after marriage, aside
from its economic aspects, has seemed
to many persons who have given it
much thought to have possibly an in
tellectual and moral value. In his au.
thoritative book on Sex and Society,""
Professor w. |. Thomas seems to
adopt this view. The remedy" he
says, for the irregularity, pettiness,
i'll health, and unserviceableness Of
modern woman seems to lie, there
fore, along educational lines; not in
general and cultural education alone,
but in a special and occupational in.
terest and practice FOR women, mar.
ried and unmarried. This should be
preferably gainful, though not oner-
Gus nor incessant."
Third: Virtually every mother who
can afford it has nurse-maid who re-
lieves her of the children, and the
children of her, for part of each day
tt night. This is thought proper.
Also. IT is thought proper for a fam.
lily to live at fashionable hotel and
have its meals sent up to it from the
cafe. In this way the family avoids
having foodfactory in it's suite of
living-roons Now If at some time in
the remote future. when society Is
somewhat better adapted to social
needs there should be cooperative
nurseries and cooperative kitchens
which would leave women free for
four hours day to do work which. as
Professor Thomas discriminatory
says, should be gainful but not o.. er.
GUS nor incessant, would society then
be any more shattered at its founda.

A GymnastIc Maine Hen.

zenas. Dudley, Of Hampden. has q
hen that will lay every day, provided
she can lay where she wants to, and
that is sitting on top of a pole. The
reason why this hen wished to perch
on the tip end of pole when laying
can be accounted for only by the fact
that she laid her first egg on top of a
pole. When she was a small pullet
she was frightened one day and flew
to the top of tall pole in the yard
The dog kept her there for some time,
and during the time she laid her first
egg. Never time since then has she
laid an egg except when she has been
on top of some pole. A pole has been
set up in the henyard where this hen
can make her daily layings A small
net bag is placed around the pole Ia
catch the eggs.-Kennebec Journal.

a demand on the part of tourists who
think visit to that city is incomplete
without a ride in one of these anci-
ent crafts propelled by a gayly-clad
gondolier. They have long since been

Indeed, the statement has been made
that the natives of this section have
long been inclined to depart from
their old-time style Of apparel, but
they realize that it is drawing card

they cling tenaciously to the baggy
breeches and voluminous skirts which
the men and women Of that country
have affected for centuries.

All. little Inn of Sorrow,

What of the ghostly chambers,
So | be sheltered?
'Tis but for a night, the freight
That gasps on thy cold hearthstone;
Tomorrow my load and the open road
And the far light leading on.
All! little Inn of Fortune.
What of thy blazing cheer,
Where glad through the pensive even
ing
Thy bright doors beckon clear?
Sweet sleep on thy balsam pillows.
Sweet wine that will thirst as
suage--
But send me forth DER the mornins

Strong for my pilgrimage!
All! distant End of the Journey,
What if thou fly my feet?
What If thou fade before me
In splendor wan and sweet?
Still the mystical city lureth-
The quest is the good knights part
And the pilgrim wends through the
end of the ends
Toward shrine and a Grail in his
heart. Charlotte Wilson.

Settling Down.

i'vc roamed the earth e'er since my
birth.
And made the most OF time.
BY sun-baked sand and frozen land
And every other cline.
And I've discerned and dearly learned
A truth that kills unrest
The simple thought my elders taught:
The old place is the bestl
I've chucked the Hindu maiden's chin;
Bronze goddesses I've wooed;
In velvet eyes of tropic skies,
I've often misconstrued;
But this. at least Romance's feast
Has taught-tho' somewhat late:
The northern hue or gray or blue
Is trusty for a mate!
I've learned the grip of fellowship
In stole fatalism;
I've quite a store of Eastern lore
And every other schism.
The Spaniard's way I've learned to
play.
I've dallied with the Turk,
But | must say | like the way
A white man does his work!
I've roamed the earth e'er since my
birth,
And made the most of time
I've learned lot that's good-and
not,
And here's my little rhyme:
MY wild oats sown-a roof my own;
A wife with binding hair,
And just chance to break a lance
In fighting fair and square,

Middle Age
When youths desire of pleasure c,ov,
And life has reached wiser sta,,
'Tis sweet to count the placid jovs

No more the love of frenzied spor,
No more the things TO do and daro
With mild philosophy l court
Ny easy chair.
There with my soothing pipe sit
And watch its graceful rings ariso
Feeling my vision and my wit
Grow ripe and wise.
No more join the weary wights
Who dangle in a maiden's trail.
Giving their daytimes and theb
nights
To woful wall.
I seek no mad emprise to log
And goad me in a perilous way.
But mediate that every dog
Must have his day.
| note the price Of stock and share
With cautious speculative ends.
And to the credit side bear
Life's dividends.
Perchance to golflng fields I fare,
To enterprise with putt and tees
And scorn the caddie's furtive stare
At what he sees.
I never ask OF life too much;
And she rewards with ample wag,
or peaceful joys that are in touch
With middle age.
