WOMEN or THE PAST

Men Who Led the World In

All inspiration comes Fl rom woman
In these words Castiglione sums up
medieval ideas and theories on the

hope and courage on the battlefield
and in the council chamber, in the pur.
suit of art and learning, in the higher
paths of virtue and religion, to point
the way upward and lift hearts from
earth to heaven.
So 1t was that the boy Raphael grew
up in the enchanted air Of Urblno un-
der the fostering care of the good
duchess; so Isabella d'Este heard
young Ariosto recite the first cantos
of his great poem, or gave Mantegna
and Costa themes for their pictures

loneliness of Michelangelo's weary
old age.
BY their delicate culture and refined
taste these noble women brought art
into close touch with life.
BY their gracious and kindly sym.
pathy they cheered the artist souls
that were struggling toward the light,
and helped to produce immortal works.

SEASIDE GAME OF SANDPIPER
Any Player Who Stops Hopping and
Begins to Run Is Liable to Cap

It's lots Of fun to play "sandpiper'
on the beach-or on the city pave
ment, for that matter. But, of course,
II you hare on Just a bathing suit and
are playing in sand 1t seems more
real.
To play it, all the children except
two form a flock Of sandpipers. They
hop up and down and up and down on
the sand, while the two who are hunt
ers try to catch them.
The hunters put forth their very
best efforts to catch two OF the sand
pipers. SO that they may become hunt
ers in their turn. But it's not the
easiest thing in the world to catch a
little boy or girl sandpiper, because.
according to the rules of the game.
they can escape being taken SO long
as they hop on n leg. Any sand
piper standing thus is safe. Let him
stop hopping or begin to run. however,
and once more he is the hunters le-

d Don't use cotton to represent snow
II you must have snow. use asbestos

Don't permit children to light or re-
light the candles while parents are not
present. They frequently set FIRE to
their clothing instead.
DON'T leave matches within the reach
OF children at holiday time. Candles are
meant to be lighted. and IL the children
can get matches they will experiment
with them. They initiate their elders.
Don't allow trees to remain inside
buildings after the holidays. The tree
itself ignites readily when needles have
become dry. large number Of fires
usually occur In January from this
cause"
