The fortune which the former

for agriculture.

saying: "lf Marble house had been

The ancient seat of the Szechenyi
family at Horpacs is surrounded by

acres, while in the entire domain Of
the family estate there is over 10000

In Hungary.

A Woman of Mystery

that leans toward any of these to an
abnormal degree is not we'll balanced
as too much sadness brings on ckron.
ie melanoholia, while too much jallity
makes sacred things appear to the too
joyous mind in light that is incon-

A mind well balanced enjoys a pie

human nature in its variations as
they occur in our daily lives.
That truth is stranger than fiction
is not true, to the author who under.

he sees it although the incidents may
