The Love
fof Beauty
BY BEATRICE FAunwAx.

There IL only one form OF extravagance
which Is utterly inexcusable-and that Is
waste.
-atWhen you buy something you do not
ecneed merely because you want It, don't
1condemn yourself utterly. Perhaps your
SsextFavaganee was caused by a longing
Efor beauty. and in satisfying It you may
stbave cultivated something artistic and
asloYely-even II impractical. IN your ma
ture So you avoided waste.
Recently a young friend OF mine saw
and admired beautiful little vase of
blown glass. came into her tawdry little
Z room one day and saw on her desk this
\ exquisite vase with a single red rose in
y st. She asked me guilty. Wasn't I
wiclsedly extravagant to buy that? II cost
me g. and twice q week / just have to
spend 10 cents on a rose to go in It. Well,
get up half an hour earlier every morn
ing ana walk to work. and that makes
up for my little splurge."
Now, as a matter of fact. / think 1t

her to get a brisk walk each day in the

each week a little money for pleasure.

PLAN TO DESTROY LONDON
Germans Reported to Believe De-
structiOn of British Capital
Probable

London, Oct. 23-Evidently the
more fruitless and costly become
the Zeppelin raids on England, the
greater and more boastful become
the promises of the pro-Zeppelinists
Frantic with rage at the loss of so
many of his huge pets, Count Zeppe-
lin is reported to have declared he
would send a fleet of 80 ships TO
wreck London.
Whether they awake sooner OF
later, as the editor of the Stuttgart
Beobachter suggests, to the reality
of things, the German people evil
IDENTIFY have still a belief in the pro-
missed destruction of London, for
which they are waiting with more or
less increasing impotence. If not
80, they will be quite satisfied with
a fleet of so to do the job.
So says William Lockwood, a
Yorkshireman, who, after passing

stored to his home at Harden, near
Bingle, where he arrived yesterday.

NEWS OF THE DAY

Continue the wei
inc premature peace, is the SUBJ
stance of a resolution unanimously
adopted yesterday by the radical
Socialist party of France, the most
powerful group in Parliament, at the
frat meeting held by the party since
the war resolution was affirmed. The
party's intention Of preserving the
sacred political union of France was
also declared and admiration was ex-
pressed for the achievements of the
army. "The party rejects as illusory,
; harmful and likely to lead to an
other war any peace which fails TO
! fully re-establish the rights OF vio-
lated small nations, which fails to
restore the territory torn from
France and which fails to afford this
country the guarantees indispensa-
BILE to her safety" the resolution
read.
A hot counter-offensive launched
hv the Germans south of the Somme
has resulted in what the French war
Iofice describes as a disastrous fail
lure After a night and forenoon OF
terrific fighting, the French hold all
the positions which were under as
sault, while losses of the heaviest
character were inflicted on the Teu-
tons. according to the midnight re-
port. One group of Germans which
succeeded in piercing the French
first line south of Chaulnes wood
were surrounded and completely WHIP
ed out except for $50 prisoners. On
the other sectors south of the Som
me the Germans made no effort to
extend the gains which they claim
to have made in the fighting yester-
day.
Another tragedy of Lake Fries
'black Friday" which cost the lives
of twenty-onc men came to light
yesterday, when life raft to which
Capt. Walter Grashaw of the whale
back steamer James B. Colgate had
chung since she foundered, thirty
four hours before, was picked up off
Rondeau. Canada, and taken to Con-
neaut, Ohio. Nineteen men were
sucked down to death when the
steamer foundered at 10 o'clock Fri
day night off Long Point, opposite
Erie.
It has come to pass that Rou-
mania, whose entrance into the war
was expected to strengthen the en-
tente, is now a chief source of their
weakness according to dispatch
from Berlin. The Roumanians are
in full retreat before Won Falken-
hayn's victorious armies. Instead
of aiding the entente, Roumania IS
now desperately calling for succor
! in every direction.
According to report issued by
the Italian general staff, up to date
I the Austrians have modified 7,40o.-
900 men between the ages of Is and
SO: In twenty-six months Austria's
losses in dead and wounded and pris-
oners totals 100000. Austria'si

cial estimates, consists of not more
than 100000 officers and men.
A sweeping victory on the Halicz
