are needed to make part of the-hap-

thctic, without ever having in her
life been touched; Carcssing, without
ever having known what love was in
the course of her thirty-odd years. The
nearest approach to reality had been
her sentiment for the man to whom
for several years she had given her

HA|RDRESSER WORKS
RICH AUNT SWINDLE
FrenChman Succeeds in Marrying
Rich Young Woman and
Then Deserts Her

PARIS, July "a hairdresser has
succeeded in perpetrating clever
swindle at Lille by pretending to be
the heir to a great fortune. His eX-
ploits resemble thome Of Nine. hum
bert on q smaller scale.
The hairdresser, who is 80 years OF
age, established himself in Lille some
months ago. He had neither money nor
good looks, but his manners were plau-
sible. and he started his tonsorial es-
tablishment on the strength Of myth
ical inheritance Of two and hair mil
lions which he expected to get on the
death of an aged aunt.
He then announced his wish to mar
ry, and Lille society paraded its most
beautiful heiresses for him to choose
from. He selected a charming young
lady of twenty-five who was very
rich and very beautiful. Then he con-
fided to a friend-M. Matthew, who
was to be his best man-that he was
short of ready money and Matthew
lent him $500.
The marriage took place last Thurs
day, and the bride and bridegroom left
for Paris. Matthew went with them.
After a few days Matthew and the
bridegroom were to call on the BRIDE
groom's aunt, so that the latter might
be repaid his $500. But on the day
when the visit was to have taken place
the hairdresser had vanished.
Then 1t was found that both the
fortune and the aunt were mythical.
The discounted Matthew has taken the
bride back to her parents.

SUBJECT VATICAN To
FRIENDLY CRITICISM
Latin Monopoly in Political Affairs
of Holy See Causes
Dissatisfaction

ROME, July 9.-The triple difficulty
in which the Vatican is involved at
the present moment-with Germany,
with Spain and with Portugal-has
drawn attention to the lack of knowl-
edge of other countries which has for
some time past been characteristic OF
those who conduct the political affairs
of the Holy See. 1t is pointed out by
friendly critics that the great mistake
OF the Vatican under the present
regime has been to concentrate all
power in the hands Of the Latin ele-
ment alone, and to take no account of
the Teutonic and Anglo-Saxon nation
alities, which "Latins'' can only inner
fectly understand. OF the twenty-five
cardinals permanently resident in
Rome, twenty are Italians and the
other two Spaniards; of the seventeen
cardinals created by Plus x, all but
one have been "Latins."
Now, for church which has to deal
with men of many races, this almost
complete exclusion of the non-Latin
representatives is considered unfair
Naturally, under such circumstances,
the Vatican authorities take narrow
views and are accordingly surprised
when an error Of tact suddenly creates
a storm. In secular governments
minister who has made bad mistakes
has to resign; but Cardinal Merry del
Val, despite the criticisms of his pol
icy by other Roman Catholics, goes on
and he and Cardinal Wives y
