Of Military Circles in Germany
Countess Of Warwick Declares That the Morals Of Berlin
Are Forerunners Of All That Has Happened in Bel

Sometimes upon the shoulders OF
a single Prussian man the burden Of
blame for the war has been pressed.
True. it was the Kaiser who enunci-
ated the famous boundary Of woman's
realm over church and children and
cooking.
And now the Countess of Warwick
distributes the blame over all Prus-
sian men. The roots of this war, she
contends, lie somewhere knit with
the whole attitude of North German
Prussian towards the woman.

TODAY'S POEM
MARY OF TIPPERARY

From sweet Tipperary, see light hearted Mary, Her step like a fairy, scarce ruff1es the dew; As she joyously springs, and as joy ously sings, Disdaining such things as a stock ing or shoe. For she goes barefooted, like Venus or Cupid, And wf1@'d be so stupid to put her in silk; When her sweet foot and ankle, the dew-drops bespangle, AS she trips OCT the lawn, at the blush of the dawn, As she, trips OCT the lawn with her full pail of milk. For the dance when arrayed, see this bright mountain maid, If her hair she would braid with young beauty's fond lure, Ger some clean fountain stopping, her dark tresses looping, Diana herself ne'er had mirror more pure! How lovely that toilet! would Fash ion dare soil it With paint, or with patches, when Nature bestows A beauty more simple, in nirth's art less dimples? Heavens light in her eye-the soft blue of the sky=- Heavens light in her eye, and a blush like a rose!

DOES HE COME TO WED?
'tThe mind has a thousand eyes And the heart but one; Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done."

It. is generally a fact that if young

 they visit often, not showing a pref

 In return, he must show his appre- citation by bringing a. box of choco- lates for Maude, the youngest. He l fetches the latest music for Grace, the eldest For Violet, he hands her small picture of himself taken when he was away at the summer camp. It is little or no surprise under the cir cumstances that the mother, aunt and relatives should be puzzled to ind out just which one was the magnet that drew him constantly to their house. I. he was too nice to the young folks and the older ones as well, to offend by getting round to the question they all want to hear: Does he care to wed ?'' The old folks grow more un- certain as they note how~th girls vie with each other to prepare viands such as he seems to care for. How they coax until their pleadings be- come almost unendurable for a new attractive dress and slippers, becom- ing new hat, or cozy corner gilt new furniture.
 Surely since this young mans conn ing the household is not the same. yet there's no possibility as yet of having a son-in-law to settle one of them down. One marriage in family is said to be followed by many more of the single ones. Maude felt certain that when the box of chocolates was placed in her hands and he whispered.
