that Royce was color blind?
She would not lower herself to de-
mand an explanation OF Royce's rude
ness; that 1t was deliberate and cruel
was obvious. Furthermore. such an
observation could have been prompted
only by some hidden motive-whether
of resentment or pure malice she did
not know and did not care. The result
was the same. and selfrespect left her
no alternative but to break the en-
gagement at once and without the
abasement Of words or scene. This
she did by returning by express a dry

A Lesson for DIPLOMATS,

Elihu Root, at the luncheon in
Providence preceding the dedication
of the John Hay Memorial library at
Brown university, said of John Hay:
His diplomacy was gracious, and
1t was prudent as we'll. l remember,
In an argument about certain inter
national complication, how very
warmly and aptly he once insisted on
prudence.
ut w.s the Christmas season, and
he said that we might learn a lesson
from a little girl who was naughty in
the early part of December.
dear me- her mother said, If
you're going to be naughty I'm very
much afraid Santa Claus won't bring
you any presents
"The little girl frowned.
"Well,' she whispered, you needn''

A Prime Cause of III Health

A famous physician on being asked
recently what is the chief cause Of i'll
health, replied: Thinking and talk
ing about it all the time. This sense
less introspection in which so many
of the rising generation of the nerv-
Gus folk indulge is certainly wearing
them out. When they are not worry
ing as to whether they sleep too much
or too little, they are fidgeting over
the amount of food they take or the
quantity Of exercise necessary 1or

themselves a moments peace"

accept her rebuff as final, maintain
something of her own silent proud

At this point Fate solved the prob

telegram unmoning him west at
once on important business. He would
have to take 6:10 train for Chicago
and there was enourN work at the
Office to keep him busy the entire aft
ernoon. Perhaps by the time he re-
turned his nebulous thoughts would
have assumed rational form. Perhaps
Eloise herself might repent. Possibly
Providence would come to the rescue
and show him the way! With sigh
and an undisguised heart-pang. he
locked away the discarded treasures
and went fercely to work on his

Two hours later. on the way to

A Deadly Error.

DR.. W. B. Cannon OF Harvard, dis
cussing anti-vivisection literature at a
dinner in New York, said with a
smile:
This literature, in part at least, is
as flagrantly erroneous as the medical
department conducted by young col

pie reply in this department ran:
