Young John d. Rockefeller again
failed to lead his bible class in New
York last Sunday. This repeated neg
lect OF an important duty is, arousing
suspicion that perhaps the young man
has fallen from grace. Not once has he
prayed in public since his hired assassins
perpetrated the Ludlow massacre. 1t is
also reported that four additional gum
men and a bulldog have bee added to
his personal bodyguard at his country
home retreat in Westchester county,

NINE. LAMASURE GIVES
GRAND OPERA READING
Battered Bride" Subject Of Fourth
Series Held at Comstock
Studio.

The reading OF Smetana's "Bartered
Bride" yesterday afternoon at the Com
stock Studio, I34O New York avenue,
made the fourth Of the series OF lectures
by Nine. NIignon Clke Lamasure on
modern grand opera, and afforded an op-
portunity to hear a work Of great inter
est and beauty that has been heard but
once In America.
Nine. Lamasure spoke Of the type OF
the ''Bartered Bride" as national, as dis
tinguished from the romRnticism Of the
German the Iyricism Of the French. and
the realism Of the Italian opera, which
she had given in her repertoire thus far.
or course Nine Lamasure uses these
terms broadly and she pointed out net
only the precious bits of lyric beauty in
this opera of Smetana, but called Rtten-
tion TO some graphic descriptive strains.

Smetana had created in Bohemia, OF the
national spirit that pervades all his
operas She explained the rhythmic and

made a point Of Smetana's free use u
thirds and sixths. The opera is comic;
arias and choruses freely interspersed
with national dances. The PEASANTS

II there is a loud outcry against too
much Classical teaching in the public
schools Of today, at least it is not di-
rected against modern penmanship.
Business men are demanding less Latin
and Greek and more arithmetic and Of
fee training. but the question OF con-
forming handwriting to the work OF the
commercial world was settled long ago.
As a result, present-day writing Is thor
oughly businesslike, and at the same
time is as beautiful as formerly, its
beauty being in its simplicity and clarity.
Its requirement is culture not to be
sneered at, although the old-time -four
Ishes and adornments, once thought
beautiful and clever, have become obso-
lete.
The penmanship now being taught in
Washington schools has been in an evo-
IutIonary state for nearly a half century,
the present method being the fourth
stage. And Washington has been one Of
the centers Of its development
Henry C. Spencer, who collaborated
with three brothers in the originating OF
the famous Spencerian system, was an
instructor here during the early T0s.
The Spencerian method, thought to be
thu last word in penmanship. prevailed
in the public schools of Washington from
1870 to 1885. Then science stepped in and
declared that the Spencerian way was
dangerous to the eyesight, the slant be-
ing too great strain on the ocular
nerves. Its prestige rapidly declined. and
writing changed from an angle Of 80 de-
grees to perpendicular characters.
The vertical system was used longer
than the Spencerian method. and was
taught hare from 1855 to 1905. Its death

OF course white hair and gray al

dull and brittle locks make us think
even young people are old, while a

hair it is not advisable to use make

made for shampooing only. You can
enjoy the best that is known for about
three cents a shampoo by getting a
package of canthrox from your drug

of hot water and your shampoo is
ready. After its use the hair dries
rapidly with uniform color. Dandruff,

Entirely disappear. Your hair will be

FAMOUS
WOMAN
Her
Birthday
And
Yours
December 1-Alexandra Anna

~OuluCud.
One OF the very earliest birthdays on
record is that of Anna Comnena, who
was born on December l, 1888. She was
the daughter of the Emperor Alexius
Comnenus l, and was his especial IA
vorite. Anna Comnena received a re-
markable education, being trained in
poetry. science, and Greek philosophy.
The court in which Anna was brought
up was at a very low plane of voluptu-
business and effeminacy, but Anna kept
aloof from the courtiers about her, and,
though she was intriguing and ambitious
she was not guilty of the follies and ex-
travagances of her time. She married
a young nobleman, Nicephorus Byren-
MUS, and during her fathers last illness
she tried to prevail upon him to disin-
hcrit his son and make Nicephorus his
successor.
The Emperor was firm, however, and
died leaving the crown to his son. This
only whetted Annals ambition. She
started a conspiracy to deprive her
brother of the throne. and would have
succe eded had it not been for her hus-
bands timidity. The plot was discov-
cred and Anna forfeited her fortune and
her property and might have been put
to death but for the clemency of her
brother, the Emperor.
1t was in this enforced solitude that
Anna accomplished the task for which
she has been remembered. She wrote a
history of her fathers reign in fifteen
books, which are still extant, and one Of
the most valuable, though not always re-
liable, sources OF the history Of that pc
riod.
December is the birthday Of another
woman Of royal rank, though one Of very
different disposition. This is the dowager
queen of England, Alexandra. who was
born on December She was married
nfty-one years ago to the British Prince
OF Wales, who became King Edward VII

A Passing Accomplishment

Centuries ago, when women were given
but few opportunities Of education, one
OF the FIRST things that a woman Of rank
or position was expected to acquire was
a clear, fair handwriting. We read OF
old-time queens and noblewomen who
were taught to play the spinst, to work
tapestry, to sing q few old songs In q
pleasing voice, and always to write a
clear hand. OF politics they knew moth
ing. Often they had but a vague Idea
that any other country existed but the
one in which they lived. History was a
closed book TO them. and what they knew
Of science consisted Of a few superst-
tious notions Of the properties Of certain
metals and plants. They were very
ignorant lot from our point OF view, were
these cultivated ladies Of long ago, but
thew were taught to write in hand that
was legible and fair to behold.
Isn't it q fact that We women Of the
u,neteenth century are forgetting how to
write a good hand? The editor OF Tho
woman's Herald often has, in the course
or her daily work, TO read over many.
handvritten lists Of names, lists Of pa
tronesses who are forwarding some event
OF society or charity. lists Of dinner
zuests or club and society members, and
were II not that these names are usually
fairly well known she would often have
10 give the task of decipheTing the names
In in vain. And these lists are written
bv women who have had every advan-
taee OF education and women who do
treat deal Ct writing.
Every one who has to handle a large
rorrespondence in script knows this-the
postal authorities are forever being nam
pered by if, the mail-order departments
NJ large mercantile establishments are
often seriously inconvenienced by it
that the average educated, mature man
and woman Of this country writes very
ilIegible hand.
The recent adoption Of a new system OF
penmanship in the Washington schools
is something for which we ought to be
glad 1t wouldn't be a bad idea, however,
II some of US grown-ups could go back to
our childhood tasks and learn how to
write distinctly.
