BRESLAU PRFNCF-BISHOP'S
 DEATH AFFECTS POPE

London, March 5-Cardinal Kopp. who died yesterday at Troppanin, Si- les1a- was the only German member Of the College of Cardinals. He was the Prince-Bishop of Breslau.
 Rome, March 5-Pope Plus was much affected when informed of the death of Cardinal Kopp, Bishop of BresIau, who died early yesterday.
 The passing of the Cardinal leaves Germany without a prelate of German nationality in the Sacred College, and as Austria is represented by two Hun garians and two Bohemian Cardinals it is believed that at the next consis- tory the Red Hat will be conferred on one or more Germans. A consis- tory is not likely to be held before Easter, however.

Don't marry a man who is a philan-

Don't marry q man who is too

man who is delightful raconteur and

Also. unless a woman is willing to be

make her faults, her foibles, her mis-

subject of ridicule: and few women
have sufficiently well-developed
