years. Plus TX, at the request OF a
number OF continental journalists, is

of st. Francis de Sales, whose body
has just lately been transferred, with
great pomp and amidst popular re-
1ofcing, to new church at Annecy,
In Savoy. his native place. The choice.
our contemporary thinks, was an apt
one. for St Francis was a man OF let

HAD A NAUTICAL CHRISTENING
Sea Captain Knew Only One Form Of
Ceremony and Did His Duty as
He Saw X.

Some years ago a slow sailing YES
sci. wheL some 500 miles out from
Liverpool, picked up a lusty young
ster of five years dashed to mast.
The captain took a great liking to
him, called him his son and decided
that the little chap must be christ
ened-one of the few things which
he know must be attended to In the
case Of children.
OF course there was no chaplain
aboard, SO the captain himself under
took the ceremony. He gathered the
nen about him, and with q mixed
knowledge OF his duties he glared
about him and asked whether any
one knew just cause why the boy
should not be christened.
If there Is" he roared, speak up
like man or forever hold your
tongue"
Then he suddenly cracked a bottle
Of wine above tho boys head and
christened him.
The ocean waif is now settled down
"a steady longshoreman, but he still
relates with satisfaction the story of
his christening.

Try a SINGLE Rose.

I'VE read" said Lucinda, about
how Adolphus brought Luella a great
bunch Of roses, and we can imagine
their beauty, we are left to guess at
their cost, but do you know it isn't
really necessary in order to make
home beautiful to have bunch of
roses as big around as barrel; that
single lovely rose will do?
TRY this: If you have spent all your
money for hats and gloves and Adolf
plus hasn't come-my brother Claude
would say hasn't come to the bat
stop at the florists and buy a single
rose, 1t will cost very little, and take
that home and set 1t In the proper
vase, its red petals and green leaves
to please the eye and its fragrance to
I'LL the room, an individual flower OF
grace and beauty and Joy.
IF you can't have bunch try
single rose"

Liberal In Expendlture for Fad.

Emile Grigsby, whose arrival In this
country with iewelry amounting to
100000 again put her in the public
eye is an ardent collector OF prayer
books and religious rituals. Her In.
tonse interest In religious philosophy,
on which she has written a great deal
In letters, is SO great that she has a
library devoted entirely to books on
the subject. In her travels In Eng
land and In Europe she has visited
old book shops and has collected old
Bibles, translations OF the histories
written about the early Christians,
works in pen by the old monks. She
usually has had with her connois-
seur on such books and also has en-
ployed scholars to translate the books
to her and to discuss with her the
meanings OF the different writer's. For
all those things she has paid highly.
and her lavish spending Of money Ger,
tainly startled the scholars who al
ways have been content with small
remuneration for their services.

CHARACTER DOLL IS LATEST
Each Type Is Made After the Portrait
or Photograph Of Real
Child.

Perhaps the most interesting feat
ure about the Joined child dolls IN
the fact that each type is made after
the portrait or photograph of a real
child, and is often a copy of a living
model. One traces the incentive to
realism In doll manufacture to a love
ly elderly lady In Munich She is an
artist, and one with a deep love for
childhood. 1t seemed to her that
when one considered all the passion
OF love which doll inspires In the
breast Of its owner, that little girl
ought to have pet that looked moro
human than dolls have been wont to
look With this idea she developed.
In plaster. dolls that were exact imi-
tatons of the various peasant folk
who came to Munich from Bavarian
and other provinces OF Sunday. The
holiday attire OF each native village
was represented. These delightful
little figures of peasant life attracted
the attention Of the Empress of Ger
many three years ago-at the time
when they first appeared-and she
made Christmas presents of them to
of the royal household. She
was delighted with the human looking
manikins. and this fact did not take
long to spread throughout the EN-
pire and reach the ears of Americans.
Now the artist In Munich has several
artist assistants to aid her In develop
ing new peasant faces and types. and
factories eagerly await models from
1er studio to dress according to her
esigns.-Harper's Bazaar.

OLD ENGLISH INNS REMAIN
These Charming Places on the rost
Roads Have Changed Little
In Many Yeart-

A history OF the coach roads out OF
London would be history OF England
and the stories OF the inns alone would
make a fat volume. They are sui
charming inns, with the same OAK
rafters and oak wainscoting, the same
stuffed trout and foxes In dusty glass
cases. They are as they were when
shey sold brandy In casks that nao
been thrown shorewards on Brighton
and washed into the hands OF waiting
smugglers; as they were when az Gay
broke. a masked gentleman on gray
mare would rap gently with his whip
ON their green shutters. And, then the
inns themselves, what could be more
charming than their names?
Such names as the Angel of the An
nunciation, at Staines on the last
change into Windsor, which dates
back to the days OF the monaster1es
when the innkeeper OF that tavern
was lay brother and on the last
stage to Box Hill, the Robin Hood Inn,
which dates back to that man himself,
and those other inns that celebrate
the stars of the animal kingdom In
specific colors: The White Hart at
Henf1eld on the Brighton Road, the
Dun Horse Of Manning's Heath, the
White Horse OF Dorking, the Bull at
Woodbridge. the Bear at Esther, the
Lion at Guilford, and at Wimbledon
the Dog and Fox. Great men have
stopped at these inns, and while We
change horses the landlord will point
out the windows of the rooms In
which they rested-the first man OF
Europe on his way to Brighton. Lord
Nelson on his way to join his ship at
Portsmouth, and Sheridan, Pope, Mr..
Pepys. Walpole. Dick Turpin, Capt
Henry Esmond, Mr.. Pickwick. Sam
Weller and David Copperfeld.-Rich-

one a quarter of an inch from each
end and one in the middle. Fastep
into the bottom of the door three
small screw-hooks and hang the rings
to them. You will have a perfect pro

moved and kept busted.
