Her Paper a Heavy Burden.

Lady Bathurst now knows the irri.
tations attending the ownership OF
London newspaper. She enjoys the
distinction Of being the first woman
to own big London daily. and she is
earnest In the wish that the honor
never was thrust upon her. The pa
per has come to her from the estate
Of her father, Lord Glenesk, and her
troubles have been visited upon her
by women friends in society. They
poster her with requests for favorable
paragraphs In the Post. and they ac-
cept no explanation when their names
do not appear. Many Of them have
gone to the length Of sending personal
items Oh scented note paper to Lady
Bathurst. with the gentle intimation
that they would adorn the columns Of
her journal. The situation is funny.
yet has sad side. Lady Bathurst,
through no fault Of her own, finds enc
mics multiplying at an alarming rate.
She IS threatened with the breaking
Of many Of her social ties. and the
prospect is the reverse Of pleasing to
her II she were to encourage her
friends and acquaintances the Post
would be crammed with flattcring
paragraphs and she would be one of
the most popular women In England.
1t is imperative that she refuse
privilege to even one importunate
pleader, and as a result she runs the
risk Of society turning cold shoulder.

About the Glove.

Children. how many OF you know
where the Glove comes from: 1t IS the
flower bud Of an evergreen tree When
the flowers are In full bloom they are
a brilliant red. The little ball at the
top Of the Glove Is formed Of the curled
up petals. At first the buds are pale
green: then they become red. As soon
as they become this color they are
ready for picking and drying. The
trees from which cloves are obtained
are natives Of the Moluccas, or Spice
islands. The trade in cloves once
formed the basis of great fortunes in
more than one nation. About the close
Of the eighteenth century the Glove
tree was transplanted In other coun-
tries than the Spice islands. and now
great part Of the commerce I'm cloves
is carried on I'm Zanzibar. The word
Glove comes from the French word
clOu. which means n nail. Doubtless
the round. hard head caused its name,
as 1t somewhat resembles a small nail.

arc many men who would be equally
Gcsirous Of having the orators wife
for life partner. 1t is IN inspira-
t!on to read Of the romance that held
this couple through the years. Burke
praised his wife in words as eloquent
as any In his career rs statesman.
Her understanding Is not shown In
the variety Of matters 1t exerts itself
upon," wrote Burke, but in the good
ness Of the choice she makes. She
does not display 1t so much in saying
or doing striking things as In avoiding
such as she ought not to say or do.
She IS always without preciseness or
affectation. She Is woman who
glides through all the agitating scenes
Of life with Quaker calmness and an
almost saintlike beauty" Is 1t any
wonder Burke achieved greatness?
