I'm thinking of Daabit. Dauh;s

About this time he met a spinster
In i'll health, fifty years old, and rich as
Croesus. The spinster was passion

tabby In particular
"Daubit saw his chance. He pulled
the strings and arranged for a bust
ness interview with her. He talked
glibly and persuaded her to sit for
her portrait. She agreed to let him
paint her as she liked best to sit at
home. with the stipulation that If the
picture did not suit she need not pay
one cent.
But our painter wasn't to be baked
or daunted. He borrowed money on
his dress suit and fixed his studio up
and had her easy chair and other
things hauled down and back every
sitting. He posed her in the chair,
and he put beside it the basket in
which her favorite tabby always took
her ease. He painted this basket
empty.
When the picture was done he let
her wait for day or two before he
invited her and her friends to come
and see it. He sent special invita-
ton to the big old tabby, too That
pleased her, but she kept her critical
air and made ready to declare that
she did not want the picture enough

she was ready to speak the tabby ap-

THE spinster changed her mind In

its excellence and bought the picture
at good round price.
"She hung the picture in her home,
and In six months Daubit was there
with her to help her enjoy it. His
marriage to her made him celebrity

sells more than he can paint
How do you account for his sud

"but friend of mine who runs little

before the exhibition and bought some
catnip.

The retirement Of Sir John French
this week from the command Of the
British troops in France and Belgium
lis due to the disappointment Of the
British public at the repeated allied
failures to break through the
German western front. Since the es-
Establishment OF conditions OF trench
warfare in France and Belgium more
than a year ago, no commander, either
French, British or German, has been
ale to overcome the immense ad-
vantages which the trenches and their
protective entanglements give to the
defense.
Sir John French probably has done
all tina tany leader could have accom-
pnshed under the conditions con-
fronting him. His successor Sir Doug
las Haig has been Sir Johns most
trusted friend and confidential adj
visor throughout all the operations on
the western front 1t is highly i'm
probable that he will vary the funda-
mental principles on which the Brit
ish operations in France and Belgium
have been based in the past.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-The retreat
of the Anglo French forces from Ser
via into Greece this week has brought
to a close one more episode of delay
and defeat on the part of the western
allies.
The effort to save Serbia from the
teutons and Bulgars has been so ut
terIy futile that the effect on the 9TH
er neutral Balkan states must be high
ly detrimental to the case OF the
ouadrup1e entente. The Greeks and
the Roumanians cannot afford to take
chances concerning the victors in the
present conflict, nor can they over
look the possibility that the Germans
will continue supreme in southeastern
Europe, even though they ultimately
are compelled to shorten their lines
in France and Belgium.
When the Germans and Bulgar1ans
began their campaign against Serbia,
the British government declared 1T
would safeguard the independence or
the Serbs and the French govern
ment in announcing its own partlcl-
patton in the Balkan operations, as
serted Russian assistance had been
promised. Roumania and Greece can
not be encouraged to count on the Ell
fectiveness Of assurances given to
them, when they now see the non-ful-
flllment of the quadruple entente's
declarations.
A new British campign against Ger
man East Africa, the last remaining
German colony, was announced this
week in London. A large force Of
