RODIN PRESENTS SCULPTURE TO
ENGLAND

One of the most illuminative ex-
amples of the bond of friendship now
existing between England and France
has been demonstrated by the gift OF
number of pieces of sculpture to
England by Augustin Rodin. the fa-
nous French sculptor. Last July, Ro-
din, who is universally conceded to be
the greatest living sculptor, lent sew
eral of his best pieces of marble and
bronze to the exhibition of modern
French art arranged at Grosvenor
House. He has now presented these
work to the British nation in a brief
note which reads:
THE English and French are broth
ers; your soldiers are fighting side by
side with ours. AS little token OF
my admiration for your heroes, I de-
cided to present the collection to
England. That is ALL"

What the Shops
Are Showing

For rough weather, the Walk-Over
Boot Shop, 226 Market street, is show
ing a very distinctive line of heavy tan
walking boots, and one model of elk
skin, cut in English style, with rather
short vamp and conservative heel is an
especially good style for allaround
wear. 1t may be had in either button
or laced model for $500. A most at
tractive new model in tan boot, has
the winged tip, long vamp and regula-
tion heel, and comes in both laced
and buttoned styles for $500. The
wing tip is very smart new feature
which makes this foot especially de-
sirable. The Norwegian model also
offered by this shop, is decidedly
sturdy in appearance, is as near water
proof as shoes can be made, and is
sold for $500.

AN HARMONIOUS LIVING ROOM

Is your living room really liveable :?
Does the wall paper make suitable
and pleasing background for your fur
nishings? A most delightful living
room decoration is shown at the A. b.
Tack Wall Paper Shop, 1915 North
Third street. The paper is in wood
land tones of browns, tans, reds and
greens, blended into an unobtrusive
color harmony. and as the predominant
ing shade is brown, hangings of rich
deep brown are particularly lovely
with this paper. The soft tones of this
paper, and its freedom from conven-
tional design or set pattern make it
a very harmonious background for al
most any kind of living room furni-
ture. but with oak woodwork and
leather furnishings it is especially sat
isfying.

THE CHARM OF QUALITY

"As soon as she arranged the fitt-
ings of her dressing table, ] knew
that was going to like her" said the
school girl in speaking of her room
mate, for everything she had stood
for quality" That is just what one
might say of the toilet articles shown
at the Rinkenbach Jewelry Shop, 1915
North Third street, for they are more
than beautiful-they are distinctive
and ut-of-the-ordinary For instance.
a new dressing table set of exquisite
French ivory has instead of the usual
rounded edges, a square edge finish,
which makes it particularly attractive.
and so on throughout the line of sterl-
ing silver, quadruple plate and French
ivory, which comprises every requisite
for the daintiest and most complete
dressing table-each has some distinc-
tive charm which appeals to the wo-
man of refinement.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

One of the most significant books
which the great European conflict has
called forth is perhaps Percy Mac
Kayes The Present Hour, which may
be described as a vital expression of
America in themes of war and peace.
The first section (War) contains the
gripping narrative poem Fight: The
Tale of Gunner, and is followed by
a series of powerful poems dealing
Among these are noted American Neu-
trality, Peace, Wilson, Louvain,
Rheims, The Muffled Drums. Magma
Charta, France and A Prayer of the
Peoples. The second section (Peace)
includes Goethals, Panama Hmm,
School, The Prologue and the Epi-
logue to a Bird Masque, The Player
and other representative work.
"Posterity alone can correctly esti-
mate and apportion the right and
says Mr.. MacKaye in the preface
which he has provided for the volume
"At the present hour, we who look on
from neutral America can but judge
the wars issues by the facts and argu-
ments laid before us by the press and
spokesmen of all parties in the con-
fict.
This is an interesting time for the
publication of book on "Bruges" by
Mary Stratton (Scribners). It gives
the history of the city, describes the
public buildings, markets, streets,
houses and churches of the ancient
city which is now the center of the
war cyclone. The book Is profusely
illustrated from drawings by Charles
Wade.
