The resignation of Premier AS
quith probably will be hailed with
some jubilation in Berlin as evidence
of weakness in the British govern
ment which will result in benefit to
the central powers. But in the capi-
tails which hope for the triumph of
the entente, the news of the stepping
down of Mr.. Asquith will be receiv-
ed as an indication of the determina-
ton of the British people to win the
war. Only recently there was strong
evidence of this British determination
in the appointment of Jellicoe to the
board of sea lords and the appoint
ment OF Beatty to supreme command
of the Grand Fleet. Apparently the
people want war council that will
inject new life into the conduct of
the war. Mr.. Asquith has been un-
able to provide such a council, it is
stated, and therefore has resigned to
make way for a man who can.

NOW AND HERE.
Took a little patch OF earth.
Faced it all about with Mirth;
Planted it with Love and Cheer;
Weeded out all hints OF Fear:

Gave it all the loving care
I could gather anywhere;
And-perhaps you'll doubt the same,
But ft's true-AN ANGEL CAME
Flying by one morning bright;
Paused a moment in his flight,
Gazed upon that garden fair,

Seen and Heard
By GEORGE MINER.

New York, Dec. 6.-There are few,
if any, Frenchwomen easier to look
at than Mime. Valentine de Saint
Point.
She is conspicuous for several
things in addition to her good looks.
One is that she is the granddaughter
of a marquis and another that she
doesn't wear corsets. Also she writes
poetry and dances, and has some
unusual ideas on a number of things.
She comes legitimately by her poeti-
cal talents, as she is the granddaugh-
ter of the famous French poet La
MARITIME. Her dancing seems to be
almost illegitimate. At least, it ac-
knowledges no parentage. 1t does
not spring from any known school.
She calls it geometric dancing and
she has come over to this country to
do it. l don't believe it makes any
difference what she calls it. Nobody
cares, but lot of people will care
about this pretty Frenchwoman.
Her clothes are as eccentric as her
dancing. When she landed from the
French steamer, the customs officers
insisted that her clothes were the
atrical costumes and sent them to
the public stores to be appraised.
Thy wouldn't believe that a woman
would wear clothes like those except
upon the stage. 1t left Nine. de
Saint Point with a shift, but thor
oughly clothed in anger and indig-
nation.
In discussing this raid on her
clothes, Nine. de Saint Point said:
81 think modern fashions deform
woman and make her unfit for her
supreme duty, which is to bear chill
dren. In fact, fashion has made
women the enemy of the human race.
The corset is a horror. Woman ma
turally has no waist. The waist is
hideous deformity."
She is going to make one mistake,
for she says she will wear a veil
whenever she dances. If her man
ager is wise he will make her take
that veil off. Nine de Saint Points
face is too attractive a feature to be
covered up. Lots of men will just
look at her face and not give a rap
whether she dances or not Hiding
her physical charms seems to be
fad with her, for continuing, she said:
"All those parts of the body where
flesh predominates over muscle must
be concealed. l keep only the most
essential lines. A woman's undraped
body is perfect only when motion
less. For that reason the nude dance
is very inartistic."
Stingy thing!
On the subject OF love, she is
equally far away from the ordinary
and accepted ideas.
81 believe in nothing" she said,
(which causes man or woman to be-
come slave, to lose that cerebral
control without which he becomes
an animal. A person in love is a
person who has lost control of him
self. l have no interest in him.
Women love more than men, or at
least they have more time to give to
live than men. If love is controlled
it is cerebral. If it admits the DOM
ination of the mind then l accept it,
but not otherwise.
"As to marriage, l believe in that
which is reasonable and which is
entered into by two human beings
old enough to know whether or not
they will complete each other. What
does girl of I8 know of such things?
A woman should be 80 at least be-
fore she marries.
"a young girl is not interesting.
In France, a divorcee has twenty
times her opportunities to marry.
Men prefer the woman of experience.
1 don't blame them. l would if I
were a man."

lNTl ny do so many husbands run

49, trying TO answer the question.
After investigating thou
sands OF cases OF desertions he ends
that the husbands action can usually
be ascribed TO one OF the following
causes:
Ill health and peeyishness OF the
wife.
Slouchiness OF the wife either In her
own person or In her housekeeping
methods. or both.
The w!fes habit OF nagging or gos-
siping.
Dislike for children on the wires

This statistician found that the
strongest incentive TO reconciliation In
cases Of family discord Is almost in
yariabiy the child. He also found that
very few wives are deserted who are:
Physically big aud mentally cheer
ful.
Able 10 contribute to the family In

frugality In homo management.
Anectlonate and home loving.
Sympathetic and considerate OF their
husbands.
The very interesting and valuable
statistics which he collected prove that
native American husbands are more
prone to desert their wives than are
the foreign born.
They also show that married life IA
the happ'est when husband and wife
are nearest alike In age. nationality,
religion. moral standards. tempera-
ment health and physical strength.
