In the ancient Forum in
Rome are ruin of the celebrated
Temple of Vesta, the Goddess
of Fire, worshipped BY the Ro.
mans in olden times.
In those days, 200 years
before the discovery of the lu-
offer match, the care of fire was
with great ceremony, k ep t
burning in the Temple of Vesta
and it was never out,
1t has taken these 5000
years to produce a fire insur-
ance company whose world
wide business is so large that
the fires for which it is paying
are NEVER OUT.
Nineteen nine was simply
an average year but, because
of its vast business, the Royal
Insurance Company, Limited,
incurred losses at the rate Of
one every s minutes aud 80 sec
onds the whole year round.
This means that before one
fire is put out new one starts
somewhere else in property in

Frank Thorndike as a police officer.
The dance is really a part OF the
opening burletta. Midnight Paris.
There is plenty OF go and a surfeit
OF comedy of the knock-down-and-roll-
over variety. The chorus is well
drilled and sings well. but the produc-
ton is not strong in tuneful melodies.
The closing burletta is called CIR

PARIS, Jan. s.--Natufally the per-
Baroness Vaughan. the petite annie
md morganatic wife OF the late king
Of the Belgians. constitute a subject
which for many reasons is particu
jarly interesting to Parisians.
Her movements Immediately aftel
her return 10 France after the king !
death were invested with as much
mystery as possible. Notwithstanding
TIE assiduity with which the story OF
her religious marriage with Leopold
has been printed and reprinted, public
Qp1n1on here has not seemed TO accord
her much greater respect than was
shown her In Brussels on her depar
(ure. the difference being that the
Trench had not the motive or the fan
cied motive TO prompt them TO any
thing like positive hostility such as
that which led to the throwing OF
etones in her direction at the Belgian
railway station.
She does not stand before the
French public in sympathetic light
such as that In which Leopold, with
M his recognised demerits-not eN'
cepting his meanness in money mat
fGrs--was regarded. II Is told OF the
King that at the time OF his notorious
affair with a Partisan vaudeville ac'
treas the concierge OF the house IN
which she lived and where he was

dress and without an escort OF any

Paris as a city he preferred above
all others In spite OF his protestations
OF patriotic love for Belgium, and the
Parisians were fiattered by this fact
and had every sort of indulgence for
his faults, even for that everdominant
commercial instinct which made of
him anything but truly royal ngure.
Comment Cold and Critical.
The struggle which confronts the
Baroness Vaughan for the retention
Of the many millions he lavished on
her awakens here only cold. critical
comment. The baroness even appears
for Paris journalists and their read
