BOOKS HAVE A PERSONALITY
u Makes Their influence, According
70 One Authority, Greater Than
That Of Man.

The real population OF the world
Is not composed Of it's human bodies
but OF it's books. Men come and 60;
books remain. Life is merely feeder
Of literature.
Things. which Johnson said are the
sons of heaven, pass away, while
words. which he called the daughters
OF earth, remain.
There is the Bible; the men who
believed 1t and the men who disbe.
lieved It have fallen like autumn
leaves, and the book itself is ever
green.
Here is Dante's poem, still standing
like a cathedral, while the author who
built II and the thousands who have
walked in It lie buried In the church
yard.
Here is Shakespeare's book; the
men and women In It are more alive
today than were the queen who pat
ronized and the crowd that gaped at
his plays.
The characters Of Dickens have
more reality than Dickens himself;
the mobiles and millionaires he looked
up to are already forgotten, while
Uriah Heep and David Copperfield are
intimate realities to each succeeding
generation.
A book has a personality Of its own.
quite apart from It's author, just as
a child cannot be accounted for by
his mother and father. A book leads
its own life. II extends its mastery
over men independently of their strug-
giles against 1t, or 1t dies despite their
most meticulous incubation. 1t wres-
ties not with flesh and blood, but with
other books.

The Princess Colleredo Mansfield
praising the magic of the modern
beauty parlor, said in Boston;
"The beauty parlor, especially the
modern beauty parlor, accomplishes
miracles with our figures. our color
ing, our features.
"A playwright said to me the other
day land almost believe he was in
earnest):
"T introduce a novel touch of real
ism into the second act Of my new
play. It's a touch so simple and so
true, l wonder nobody ever thought of
II BEFORE
what is this touch. Mr.. Fiasco?'
inquired.
my heroine he replied. is In the
first act fat, dark-haired country girl
with snub nose, while in the second
act. after her fight with young Scat
tergood Code to the metropolis. she
is a svelte and slender blonde with o
profile of patrician aquilinity.'"

Girls study Engineering.

Miss Hazel Quick. a student at the
University of Michigan. is the only
woman taking the engineering course
there who has ever worked at the
forge.
Miss Quick wanted to make her
course in hydraulics as complete as
possible and was determined to elm
mate no part that the men students
included. So she goes into the shop
with them and does not avoid the
hardest work.
When she finishes her course she
expects 10 practice civil engineering
IN the west.
Another girl in the engineering de-
partment is Miss Helen Hamilton. the
first woman who has ever specialized
along the lines OF sewer construc
ton.

RENTING OUT THE NOBILITY
Queer Business at Which English So
olety Women Are Said 70 Make
Much Money.

Most mon are too busy to go to aft.
ernoon tea parties. even II they have
the Inclination. But men are in de
mand for these functions and the de.
mand creates a supply.
A lady has been explaining to the
London Daily Mirror how women Of
good social standing earn lucrative
fees by providing male guests for
these afternoon functions. These la
dies make better business of II than
the regular agents who occasionally
supply "a fourteenth" to a hostess
who does not wish her guests to sit
down thirteen at dinner, or from time
to time All up a house party In some
out-of-the-way part of the country
when guest has suddenly fallen out.
In these cases the hired guests re
ceive good fee. But the London art
ernoon tea guests got no pay and do
not know that they are being hired.
AS a rule, It is said, they are impe-
cunious young continental men who
would rather look for an heiress than
for work.
These young men are faultlessly
dressed and their manners are exqui-
site. A lady bearing one OF the oldest
titles In the country. perhaps, invites
them to her house, pretends to be
greatly taken with them and offers
to launch them In London society"
Then she cheerfully takes them to all
the select afternoon tea parties she
attends and they find themselves over
whelmed with invitations to similar
functions. Little do the men suspect
that every time they go to q party
their woman friend receives certain
sum of money from the hostess.
Here is the scale of charges for
guests actually issued by countess:
One marquis. $3.50; one baron, $5.25;
one duke, $40; one duchess, SIS.
Just few days ago Russian no
blewoman visiting London was giving
reception In the afternoon, and you
can imagine how terribly shocked and
annoyed she was when an English
duchess wrote to her offering to sup
ply ten young men and the same num-
Der of women, all bearing titles, as
guests for the sum of 80 guineas.
Young Englishmen, the younger
sons of lords and the like, have been
imposed upon as well as foreigners by
these guest providers"
