REAL JOY IN SHORT HAIR
Girl Art Student Declares There Are
Many compensatIons for Being
Without Curls.

She sat there in the center of the
room looking for all the world like
a page in a medieval castle. She
looked that way because, like Sam
son, she had lost her hair. In her
case, however, it came about through
no duplicity. She herself had had it
done.
The hair was not cut close to the
head. On the contrary, it hung about
her delicate pre-Raphaelite face in
short "boxed' strands of childhood.
"Saves me a lot of trouble" re-
marked this girl, who, of course, was
an art student. 81 save | don't know

WRITER'S FrlENDS AND FOES
Work Of Charles Robert Maturin Com
mended and Condemned by Critics
Who Differed Greatly.

We live in days when any man OF
who can be represented as a
literary Influence is sure to find a
.biographer, and it is not surprising
TO see the announcement of a work
on the life and writings Of Charles
Robert Maturin. Mr.. N. Idman
writes to the Athenaeum, asking for
the loan of any letters or documents
relating to Maturin, to be employed
in a study of that writer in which ne
is engaged. Maturin is now chiefly
remembered by the attack made on
his play, "Bertram," in Coleridge's
Geographic Litteraria." C~oleridge
describes "Bertram' as "a superficial
ton of blasphemy upon nonsense,
and saws that cts hero's best deed IS
having saved his betters from the
degradation of hanging him, by turn
ing Jack Ketch to himself" Scott
and Byron took a very different view
of the tragedy, and it was by their
influence that it was successfully pro-
duced by Kemble at Drury Lane. "It
is one of those things" wrote Scott,
(which will either succeed greatly or
be damned gloriously, for its merits
are marked, deep and striking, and
its faults of a nature obnoxious to
ridicule." Among other famous adj
mirers of Maturin we're Balzac and
Rossetti. Balzac borrowed from Ma

SEES HANDICAP IN MEEKNESS
Writer Unable to Figure out In What
Way II May Be Assumed to
Be Blessed.

The other day ! met a man with a
hard luck story. In order to reduce
expenses his firm was cutting sala-
ries. This mans had been cut in
half.
"You threw the offer at them?" l
asked.
"No, how could II"
"Then you practically admitted
that You were only worth the lower
salary?"
"No, but what could | do?"
What could he do? Good lands
What would you do if ehat happened
to you? / know what I'd do! I'd
throw the offer III their teeth and get
my hat and coat and get out if | had
to get a wheelbarrow and peddle shoe
strings. I'd go around to another
firm and ask them to start me in at
the lower wage. until ! made good.
Nc man has to eat humble pie unless
he isn't fit for anything better. The
man who stands for a cut in his sal
ary stands for something worse. 1t
means that the path to success is
closing against him and thRt the
chance OF a future raise is mighty
slim.
Oh, yes, there may be wife and
children, but if they do have to eat
dry bread for a while it won't kill
them. The man who has grit enough
TO refuse a reduction in salary wont
have to struggle long before he's OF
his feet again. 1t shows that the
pioneer spirit within him is still
strong and that he still has some
fight left. Blessed are the meek, bu.
