The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1915-06-12

OAYl have you ever noticed that the
- bug called Vanity a cook up
more trouble for human beings
than any germ that ever built Its nest
In a brain cell?
It's a subtle little disease, this fever
we call Vanity. No man eve knows
he has 1t but he can always recognize
the symptoms in his neighbor.
Sometimes IT breaks out in diamond
rings on the fingers; sometimes 1t
takes the form of ragtime clothing &C
companied by rainbow neckties, and
sometimes it drives a man into politics
who should remain at his post as the
chauffeur of a garbage wagon.
And then again there are occasions
when it never shows in a man until
after he is dead and his will reads,
Il give and bequeath the sum of thirty
thousand dollars for the purposes of
scattering my ashes from the highest
peak of the Himalaya mountains"
Hep Hardy has 1t for keeps. Around
at the club the other night l saw him
drink seven Scotch highballs because
somebody swelled him all up by telling
him he never showed the effects of
liquor.
Then he had to lean against the
buildings all the way home.
Even friend wife isn't proof against
the Vanity microbe.
Not long ago some fresh friend told
her that she was getting stout and
Peaches promptly fell for every obes-
ity cure known to modern science.
During her calmer moments Peaches
has the general appearance of a fetch
erizing canary bird, but when some
amiable idiot told her that day by day
h was growing to look more and
more like a public building she ut
tered a few shrill screams and started
after that obesity proposition with a
tomahawk.
/ tried to flag her and talk her out
of 1t, but she waved me back and said
she wasn't going through this world
chaperoning a double chin.
So Peaches started in to put the
sabots to the fatty tissues, and for a
week u erstwhile peaceful home be-
came two reels in the Movies entitled
"A Rough Night at Sea-"
When l reached home on the eve
of the Battle of Embonpoint / found
Peaches strolling around the campus
made up to look like a lady scarecrow.
Her face was concealed behind a mus
lin mask, there was a feverish glitter
in her eyes and in both hands she
clutched a book which proclaimed
itself The Road to Beauty; or, How
to Get Thin Without Calling in the
Coroner"

on me and burned me to a standstill.
Then she threw both herself and the
book on our nearly-Perslan rug and
began to roll around the room. Seek
ing new worlds to conquer, she rolled
out into the dining room, bumped into
the sideboard, and exit, rolling into
hall with glass-crash.

friend wife rolled hack into my life
again and dropped anchor in a Morris

At Potsdam, however, under the or

The emperor OF Austria is, perhaps,
more richly endowed with official resi-
dences than any other monarch except
the king Of Italy, who seems to have
a palace in every city in his kingdom.
The important palaces at Vienna are
two, the Hofburg, in the heart of the
city and Schoenbrunn, in the suburbs.
The former is the chief official resi-
dence, the latter the usual abode OF
the emperor when at the capital of tho
empire. The Burg is not imposing

been burned down, the only suitable
remaining palace in Paris was the
Elysee, and there the presidents of the
third republic have succeeded one an

he bore the name of president. The

In England there has been retained
for the king a palace which has
evolved out of a medieval fortress and
still preserves many of its authentic
features. Windsor is, in part at least,
