ANcIENTS FOND OF LUXURY
Excessive Comforts of the Present Day
Have All Been Duplicated
in the Past. -

There has been an outcry of late
against the luxurious appointments of
steamships crossing the Atlantic. The
finger of scorn has been pointed at
golf links, squash courts, perfumed
baths, rose bushes, ETC., provided for
the pampered passengers. And there
are some who sigh for the good old
days when flannel shirt without a re-
lieving touch of starched. linen was
the correct thing at dinner; when
women We're as grubs until land was
sighted, and then they appeared On
Gack as butterflies; when a forenight
at sea was all too short a time; when
ship was expected to be uncomfoit-
able; when business was necessarily
left behind on the pier and no mes
cage could come through the air;
when the bath was jet from a hose
held by grinning sailor on a wet
deck
Sumptuously furnished vessels were
known centuries before the Sirius or
the pride of the Collins line The ship
| that Archimedes designed for Hero
H., king of Syracuse, not only was
! wonderfully decorated-the story of
the Illiad was told in marquetry-but
there were. flower beds on the prom
l.sQade deck, a gymnasium. staterooms
!, with three beds, a library, bathroom
with hot and cold water, stables and
horses, fish ponds and many fairrooms
paved with agate and precious stones.
| And this vessel was designed as a
carrier of wheat. 1t was first named
/ the Syracusan; but afterward the Alex
! andrian. Archimelus wrote poem in
its honor. and Hero, in gratitude and
appreciation, sent him thousand
measures of cheese and thoughtfully
prepaid the expense. Moschion gives
detailed description of this ship
Then there was the Egyptian vessel,
the joy of Ptolemy Philopator, with
galleries and promenades. a temple of
Venus with her statue. drinking hall,
belvederes. a grotto the sides of which
were decorated with precious stones
set in ornaments of gold.

Rose and the
Lily
By KATHERINE COOPE
Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.

Derek sank YEARLY into the big
chair in whose ample arms there
usually lurked contentment and
abiding peace. Not so tonight. In
fact, Derek found himself inclined
to hurl brief, unfattering epithets at
himself and the world in general.
A few hours before, Derek Vane
had dressed with unusual care and
had journeyed forth, with flowers
and candy, to the home of Lily Ran
dolf. Once there, Vane had intended
to. take the fair, delicate lily within
his arms and tell her that he could
not live without her.
But alas! when the moment of
making the confession arrived, perek
found that he could live very Licely
without her. He realized, not with
out sense of his own inferiority,
that Lily's white, Unconditional beauty
failed in some way to meet his de.
mands.
He had. at times, during the con.
tentment Of his evening with her,
longed for something stirring to hap
pen. He wanted to feel active and
vital and strong. Instead, Derek ex-
perienced a sense of monotony al the
calm, unruffled hour. He recog-
nized, with sense of shame, that
Rose Davenport would liven things
up.
So he had gone from Lily's pres
ence with a knowledge of his own
unstable affections.
II am a vacillating, blow-hot and
blow-cold, cad," he told himself, and
felt slightly better and sufficiently at
peace with the world to light his
pipe.
after all-perhaps Rose is the girl
for me-" Derek blew a cloud of
smoke and in it he watched a face
develop. 1t was a face that was
framed in a tangle of red brown
hair and the eyes that looked back
at him were glowing with the lure Of
life. Derek blew another cloud of
smoke and the figure of Rose, vital
and palpitating with the very joy
of living, danced before him.
Derek watched the smoke float
away in the distance and his vivid

ones by cross-fertilization, says: "The

Albert Catlin, the man who held the
balance of power, sat near an open
window.
Through the window came small
rubber ball. 1t came slowly, as if
lightly tossed. 1t dropped on Cat
Inns desk. He picked it up, but Pow.
ellis hand caught it from him. Both
men had seen the letters and figures
on the ball.
Ten minutes later the committee
adjourned. In the corridor Powell
met Mildred. "Come with me-" he
said harshly. II want to talk to

closed the door. Here is something

point I do not understand is the

man you professed to love, attempt an
act of bribery"
For moment he looked into her
lace. Then his hands came down on
her shoulders. "You did not" he ex.
claimed, joyously. "You did not"
"You had the proof of my guilt.
What proof have you of my inno-
cence?"
Your face-your true, gentle, wo.
manly face. No greater proof could
any man ask"
The door was pushed open and the
little daughter of the state house jan
itor came in. Have you seen my
ball?" she asked. "Oh, that's it. Miss
Mildred gave it to me- She said
that when she was little girl she
loved hard rubber balls that bounced
high, and that she never saw one

again and could play with one, and so
