place after the explorers had discov-

the expedition was to complete the

MEMORY A MATTER OF HABIT

Memory, according to psycholo-

habit, and lack OF it arises largely
from a special kind of lazlncSs. We
see the truth of this when We OBJ

some of the men of letters a century

which now prevails. When We won

that in childhood they formed, per-

What we need nowadays is a sort
Of mental training analogous to this
older schooling. Let us by>all means
keep TO our filing cases and memo

To this day Spanish women are
the most beautiful in the world; they
have the little feet, the long, white,
wonderful hands, the Incompatible

Gautier went to Spain in 1910 or
Madame d'Aulnoy in 1879. Other
women veal a flower detachably, and
it is usually ~unlovely or unbecom-

A Spanish woman, though she may
come in to wash your floors, puts it
on as she would put on a jewel. 1t
becomes an essential part OF her
dress, as much a piece of her person
as her curved, dark eyebrow, OF the
soft tip of her ear. She is all put
together with a perfection no out
slider can master; her embroidered
shawl, smooth over the arms and
close to the 1.-THE, shapely back, never
slips; under her lace mantilla the
smooth, brown hair is dressed high,
the tall comb planted firm, and the
cunning folds and falls are never dis
placed. When a lady gets down
from her carriage to walk in the
park the coachman reins in his sleek
pair and crawls up and down in
sight. her walk is as free and sinuous
as that of the girl in a~lpargatas who
brushes against her with a basket Of

CONSTANT DEMAND FOR GOLD

Share of the Riches Taken

Few people realize the extent to
which gold is boarded in India, or
the strange uses to which it is put.
The bulk of boarded wealth in In
dia is buried, so that at the present
time nearly all the gold dug from the
earth in South Africa is by a fresh
digging operation deposited again
beneath the soil in south Asia. 1t
seems practically assured that the
total imports of gold to India dur
ing 1912 are not only a fresh record,
but will attain a total not less than
$l35,O00,0 00, or % per cent. of the
worlds output.
Consumption of gold does not inn
ply in America the actual swallowing
of extremely thin gold leaves for
medicinal purposes, but it is so taken

of piety is to rcgild the domes of
