THE HoBBLE GIRL

Hobble, hobble, hobble,
Down the street she goes,
Hampered by hobble skirt,
Mincing on her toes.
Better mind the trolley cars
And the autos, too;
Lean upon a husky COP
He Will pull you through.
Hobble hobble, hobble,
Maudie, you're a sight;
Common sense, 1t seems to me.
Simply SHAKEN flight.
Spose you had to run some day.
So you'd not be hurt?
You could never do 1t, dear,
In a hobble skirt!

Marked Improvement

There has been a marked Improvement
in the tone of business within the past
four or five weeks" said r. 8. Dietrich,
a prominent manufacturer of Philadel-
phia.
| Business in many lines of industry
was slack in July and the slumps In
Wall street indicated a nervous feeling
among capitalists. National politics
seemed to be irritating. but what af-
fected financiers, manufacturers and
general trade more seriously than any
one thing. perhaps, was the unfavorable
crop news. But the crop situation has
materially improved and that is natural
ly causing better feeling throughout
the business world. The immense corn
crop alone will stimulate trade all along
the line.
During the last few years have
visited the south four times and on each
visit have remarked substantial prog
ress; more now than ever.
II have been as far as Texas on this
trip and everywhere in the south | hear
of the bumper corn crop. Cotton, too,
Is going to turn out better than was
thought a few weeks ago. The upshot OF
it is, the coming fall is almost sure to
witness solid prosperity in business

But who can be the winner and the

A Member of Parliament

Cecil A. Grenfell of London, who repre-
sents the foreign interests in the diree-
torate of the Southern Iron and Steel
company, after spending nearly two weeks
in Birmingham, left last night for New
York. He belongs to distinguished fam
fly of bankers and Is closely related by
marriage and otherwise to the English
nobility. His wife Is a sister of the Duke
of Marlborough. But Notwithstanding his
environment, Mr.. Grenfell Is a liberal In
British politics and was recently elected
to a seat In parliament by liberal con-
sttuency.
Mr.. Grenfell made a number of friends
here and regret was expressed that he
could not remain longer. He is youngish
looking man and is thoroughly typical of
the educated. high-bred Englishman-
thoughtful, we'll informed. kindly dis
posed, straightforward and plain as an
old shoe"
When some one asked Mr.. Grenfell,
How is it that you, with your banking
connections and family ties belong to the
liberal instead of the conservative party?''
the visitor replied:
ut is q mistake TO MINK tndL all Ddnk-
ers are conservatives. I am liberal
from principle and so are many other
men of the financial world. I believe in
free trade for England and being free
trader. am a liberal"
Mr.. Grenfell is an optin1ist; and his
patriotic ardor, manifested when talking
about the British empire, Is unmistak'
ably genuine. Said he
England is more prosperous today thar
in any former period of its history. The
volume of our trade is increasing; the
large gain in our exports this year is cheer.

and In that way have become greatly In

In the reference department are a
number of valuable books on art, and
within a few days will add to that col
lection a charming volume of 500 pages,
entitled The Aesthetic and Miscellaneous
Works Of Friedrich Won Schlegel' Near
ly all college men are familiar with the
philosophic discussions of August Will
helm Won Schlegel, but few persons, even
those of art tastes and wide reading,
seem to know of his brother, Friedrich,
art critic and romantic writer. The two
brothers had strong metaphysical lean
ings, but August Wilhelm. the older,
was known principally by his metaphy-
sizes. while the latter was so versatile
that he wrote authoritatively and de-
lightfully about almost every thing re-
lating to the true and the beautiful
art. literature and nature.
THE Schlegels were born In the 18th
century but lived we'll into the 10Th.
Friedrich discussed art An letters written
to a friend and these letters are dated
as early as 1902. E. J. Millington, who
translated the Aesthetic and Miscellane-
Gus Works from the German into Eng
fish, says of Schlegel in the preface:
His ideals and opinions on the true
scope and intention of Christian art will.
perhaps, be new to some readers, and
must unauestonably afford matter of
high interest to all. Never has the prop
err sphere OF painting been more beauti-
fully defined, or its lofty Ideally more IN
telligibly or. intellectually developed.
"In this volume is schlegel's illuminat-
ing treatise on Shakespeare's plays, and
also his instructive lecture on the
Niebelungen Lied. Seldom have I found
between the same covers such a varied
store of letters.
"I first read Schlegel's Aesthetic and
Miscellaneous Works many years ago,
