THE RUINS ON THE HILL.
Where Richard of the Lion Heart

DweIt 1n France.
 Perhnps the loveliest spot in all the winding miles of beauty along the river Seine between RDuen and Paris is Petit Andcly. Ragged and shattered looking. the stony hills rear proudly un above the placid river and sleepy town. and st1!larely upon it's crest looms the ruin Of Richard the Lion Hearts Castle Gallant. great, burst keep and few bits of massive wall Once the castle Haunted it's mcnacing leopard standards against the blue and white and gold of the Franlisll skies but that was before Philippe Angnsie stormed and smashed 1t and smashed the townsfDlk while he was doing it.
 Now, ghostly and wan. the stark ruin shimmers upon its hill. with never single spear to glint from keep or barbican The spears nre still grow ing far belOW--the stout young poplars on the river bank and island sentinel ing through golden days when the riv CT is glcamIg jade; in the fiery sun sets, when it mirrors back every sturdy limb and feathery frond. and all the silent blue nights. when the stars bend cracking down to whisper and coquette and the ripples chuckle softly against the rich brown banks.-' Arthur Stanley Riggs in National Geo graphic Magazine.

Minnesota Girls Particular

Minnesota Girls Particular
 The Minnesota Daily, the student newspaper of the University of Min nesota, which had asked the women students of the institution the ques- tion, "How much salary must a man receive before you would consent to marry?" today received replies that from $500 to $10,000 year was re- quired. Most of the girls were con- servative in their demands, however, and the general average was about $1,600.
 One girl wrote, What is money to me? Give me a true loving husband and cottage" A large majority of the girls demanded that their future husbands be good dancers, some said they must know the latest steps, and one went so far as to say she would marry only man who was dreamy dancer. Smoking would be permitted, oven demanded, by large number of the girls, but drinking would be prohibited.
