THE WOMAN OF as.
The Power and Charm That Can
Come Only With Maturity.

A certain staid contemporary has
just discovered the power and the
charm of the woman of As or so years
of age. The world discovered it long
since. The greatest poem mankind
has known is that which tells Of Helen
of Troy. and the mighty ills that fol-
lowed on young Prince Paris's law
less love of her. And the face that
launched thousand ships and burnt
the topless towers of Ilium" was the
face of woman of As. A Athousand
years later another woman plunged
an empire far greater than that of
legendary Troy into general battle.
She was than a woman of 40, and an
Oriental 40. Her name was Cleopatra.
Nor do we imagine for one moment
that Cleopatra would have exercised
over a character and an intellect as
powerful as those of Mary Antony SO
boundless a sway had she been a green
girl. however beautiful. History at
tributes her victory over Antony not
to shallow, perishable loneliness, but
to the grace and winsomeness of her
disposition, to the witchery of her
cOmpanionship and to the enchanting
skill in fitting herself to the moods"
Of the>man she loved and sought to

in which he advised that in their difficult

Crane made the speech of presentation

Mr.. Griffiths said in part:
The imagination of an American is
stirred more perhaps in Northampton
shire than in any other part of England.
The ancestors of Washington and Frank

the pilgrim fathers contended for liberty
of conscience and freedom to worship
God unmoested. For three hundred
years and more, the fathers of Franklin
lived and t0iled and died and were buried
in the parish of Ecton, never dreaming
that the name they bore would be re-
nowned in the annals of a nation then
unborn. like to think of those sturdy

voted down resolution to permit
cremation in Prussia. The main
argument against the measure was
that burial was an ancient Christian
tradition authorized by Christ and
His apostles of the early church, and
that If cremation were introduced
serious blow would be struck against
the Christian doctrine of the resur-
