THE GENIUSES
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

IN the works of scores OF writer's IS
to be found some saying, put
sometimes in one form, some
times in another, to the effect that
the great parsonage bears upon MS
countenance the badge of sovereignty
This is generally true, perhaps, but
there are so many exceptions that one
is reminded OF the little girls re-
mark about the French language
"French would be very easy" she
said, plaintiyely, III 1t only wasn't
mostly made up of irregular verbs
and exceptions"
Our geniuses are largely of this
kind. Some Of them show their genius
on the outside, but a great many do
not. Among those who do, there is a
Fictitious element, who try to look
singular; in the fear, seemingly, that
IL they do not wear long hair or
queer clothes they may be mistaken
for ordinary people. They do not
count, in the accurate classification.
One of our brilliant contempor-
aries has lately announced, with a
great flourish of trumpets, that no
dark-eyed man has ever risen to the
first rank OF greatness. The genuine
geniuses are all blue-eyed, according
to this gentleman, and no matter how
beautiful you may consider the dark
orbs of your bright boy. you may as
we'll lay aside all yaulting ambitions
for him. He can never amount TO
anything very much unless you can
get the color OF his eyes changed

not yet learned how to do.
You can have your nose built over
and your skin taken off by bits and
entirely replaced by new You can
lose your hair and teeth and the
world need never know it, but II
your eyes are black, no human art
can give them the blue of the con-
queror.
II is an ascertained historical fact
that Julius Caesar had dark eyes.
Perhaps our own Daniel Webster
does not belong in the first rank, but
surely his eyes were very dark.
Thomas Jefferson, also, had dark
eyes. Various authorities have as
serted that oliver Cromwell. Raphael
and George Eliot had dark eyes, but
search Of some thoroughness falls
to verify these statements.
The retreating chin, the low fore
head and the small nose have fallen
under the ban. Yet there have been
many great and good men who have
had one or all of these supposed dis
advantages.
In point Of fact genius has resided
in the most unpromislng human
frames. Some have been tall. others
short. Large features, small fea-
lures; red hair, black hair. eyes
OF all colors, noses of all shapes a
merry or a morose disposition-gen-
ius may go with any one Of them.
Therefore, let no RmOther worry
about her children. Their looks may
be against them. but they may be
geniuses for all that.

Window Curtains

Don't overcurtain gindows. Light
enables one to see tAose aceumuln-
tions OF dust and oirt which collect
so rapidly on the appointments OF n
reom, and 1t thus becomes a stimulus
TO cleanliness. Abundance of light
also makes for cheerfulness and thus,
for Its effect on spirits, should DO al
lowed free entry into rooms. That
bright sunlight fades the carpet is
only too true, but careful housewives
may consider whether the injury
should not be tolerated, in view OF
the advantages secured by its intru-
sion. BY avoiding certain shades OF
blue and by buying carpets OF good
quality the trouble may In large
measure be avoided.

Worth Knowing.


Little seekel pears, peeled cut In
half and cored, make q delicious
salad, with French dressing on a bed
Of lettuce. Cherries are sometimes
used with them.
When the hands get hot ana un-
comfortably moist 1t is n good idea to
wash them in hot water and then
rinse them in tepid water to which
q desertspoonful OF borax has been
added.
To remove a glass stopper from q
bottle, pour a little hot water around
the neck OF the bottle. This will
cause the neck to expand, when the
stopper will ft loosely enough to be
easily withdrawn.
A box Of sardines and a can of
shrimps, both prepared for eating,
and served together on lettuce leaves
with dressing of oil, vinegar. onion
juice, salt and pepper. make delic-
ious salad. Mayonnaise dressing may
be used.
A creole chicken sandwich in one
of the tearooms consists of thin

of lettuce, chicken, sliced tomato and
mayonnaise between them. 1t is one
OF the most popular sandwiches of
the place.
Feather pillows may be renovated
in the following manner: A large
pan or boiler half full OF water should
be brought to the boil, and the pill
low placed on the top until thorough
ly impregnated with the steam; It
must then be hung In the wind TO
dry and shaken and beaten from time
to time.
All bar soap for household pur-
poses should be kept FOR few weeks
before being used. II should be
placed in the sun and air as much
as possible, when 1t will last twice
as long as II used at once. This APP
plies equally to cake soap for toilet
purposes.

VOTES FOR
WOMEN

HURIOUSLY enough, the most COM
u prehensiye argument against
the extension of equal suffrage
to wives would be the characteristics
ally feminine one: "Because!"
That is hard argument to meet.
But only because 1t is no argument
at all. Simply 1t represents In
trenched prejudice, perehed upon es-
tablished conditions, satisfied with
thingse as they are and unconcerned
about things as they ought to be.
The rulers of the roost crow lusty
defiance, the lazy hens caekle con-
tendedly: Stop interfering wit the
henyard!"
Regarding the ballot and particl-
patton In government, 1t means that
women must share with men not only
privilege but responsibility. With me
the real question regarding suffrage
Is not whether women have the right
or should have the privilege. but
whether 1t is not their duty in n
democracy to share the burdens of
government.
"The wifes sphere IS the, homer"
Oh, yesl We've heard that before
But casting a ballot will not cost as
much time away from th9 home as
shopping excurHQp.
Many wives are plainly unht to
vote? Yes, yes! and so are many
husbands.
1t is manifestly unfair to have the
law declare that allol men are ut
to vote, but no woman.
In Russia the peeBlaade the
ballot for wives. Score one for "be-
nlghted Russial" n i'i'

Stencil Curtains.

If you are making stencil curtains
for any of the rooms, the little sash
ones that are hung on brass rods,
sew Battenberg rings at the top TO
put over the rod. These little lace
rings can be found in canvenlent
size and they really look prettier
with the scrlm curtains than ruff
fled beading to the material.

ERS CAUGHT IN GREAT
GALE ON LAKES.

Duluth, Dec. "a wireless dispatch
received at 80 a. m. by the Associat-
ed Press from the operator aboard the
steamer Easton OF the Booth line says
"All aboard safe Steam pipes not
damaged and everybody warm We
could walk ashore. but there is moth
ing there but rocks and snow"
The Easton yesterday went on the
rocks 35 miles this side of Port Ar
thur, Ontario. Fifteen passengers and
q crew of 25 are aboard according Ia
the last information from the scene.
The Booth company here this morning
declared tugs were standing by and
they had removed the passengers and
crew. Other Information denies this.
That the Easton will be released to-
day is the assurance of Manager Hog
srad OF the Booth co, owners or the
boat. Hogstad said;
Il can assure YOU that neither the
ship. passengers or crew are in any
danger. | have Captain Hockanson's
assurance that he expects to be re-
leased today and proceed to Port Ar
thur. Hockanson says the passengers
are not alarmed and are remaining On
board"
An all night gale blew the lake into
mountainous waves, while heavy snow
fell. All the way between the 500 and
the American head of the lakes are

Federal barge office stated such delays
are not unusual at this season, and
there is no necessity for apprehension.
The plan of sending tugs to search for

that II any of the crew survived the
