VISITING THE LOUVRE

sculpture. To the man who has visited
it but once; who, in the space of a single
hour or SO, has walked literally miles
along its galleries and seen literally acres
of paintings, the recollection Is often
confused, and not always happy. Every
now and again, he remembers afterward,
he saw picture he had known from
his earliest childhood, and, being just a
plain man, with plain mans ignorance
Of such matters, he remembers he had
just time to gasp out, "Oh, that's where
that is!' before he was hurried on to
the next.
But that is, Of course, Just the way not
to see the Louvre. Many people, again
Of course, have not the time to see 1t as
1t should be seen. But the Louvre needs
to be treated much as one would treat
a beautiful domain one might have close
at hand, and to which one had at all
times free access. It is eminently place
to be visited Often and not too long at
a time. and at leisure. There should be
no sense Of having to see everything, or
Of being compelled to see the great fea-
lures. and to discover whatever great
ness there may be In them. The man
who would know to the full the de-
lights which the Louvre has to offer must
assert his freedom to like what he likes,
and to like 1t in his own time and in his
own way.

HOTEL LOBBIEs


1.-THE result of the Auburn Mississippi
Agricultural and Mechanical game shows
that no dope on any football game is
worthy of being looked on as infailiole,
said Sturgeon, prominent real estate
man, after the conclusion OF the Auburn
Mississippi game yesterday. II really
thought that Auburn would have COM
paratively easy time In defeating the Mis-
sissippi crowd. A small college, which
has never figured prominently in football
defeated this same crowd Of boys who
held the Auburn machine to the score Of
7 to 8. The team that put over the sur
prise OF the season by defeating Missis-
sippi was no other than Mississippi col
lege.
The consensus of opinion previous to
the game this afternoon was that Auburn
would use most of her scrubs against the
Mississippi Aggies. AS it was tho VIC
tory of Auburn demonstrated the fact
that football is an enigma in every sense
of the word The betting before the game
was that Mississippi would not score.
Many placed odds that Mississippi would
be defeated by at least three touchdowns
AS it was, the Auburn football team had
to extend itself to defeat it's opponents
No one can tell me anything about dope
on football teams FROM now on l am
convinced that football is the trickiest
game of the whole lot of American
sports

TRoTTING CHAMPIONS FEW

From the New York Herald.
With the close of the Lexington meet
ing the harness racing campaign of 1916
was virtually ended, SO far as the grand
circuit trotters are concerned. 1t has
been a season of brilliant performances
all along the line. but the one that over
shadows all others in lasting Importance
was that Of Lee Axworthy on October z,
when he trotted mile on the Lexington
track in 1:5SA, setting the record for stall
lions nearly three seconds below the best
performance of any other horse.
When a new champion of trotting stall
lions appears it is of much more interest
from the breeders point of view than the
advent of new champion among mares
or geldings.
Between the 2:43 of Andrew Jackson
and the 1854 of Lee Axworthy there is
gap of Az seconds, which represents
the progress Of 81 years In developing the
speed of the trotting horse. From An
drew Jackson to Ethan Allen, the first
stallion to trot in 2:3O. was "a years; from
Ethan Allan to Mambrino Gift, the first
to trot in 2:20, was 16 years; from the
latter horse to Allertvn, the pioneer 2:la
stallion, II more, and from Allerton to
Lee Axworthy, 20 years.

LUKE M'LUkE SAYS.

Ii the girls are going to insist on wear
ing those low-necked waists, a girl can't
expect a man to turn his head the other
way when she stoops over to pick up
something.
When there is trim little figure ahead
OF you, whose face you can't see, but
whose skirts are almost knee-high, and
whose high-laced boots have three-inch
heels, and whose stockings are so thin
they are almost invisible the betting is
about even as to whether she is a debut
tante or grandma.
Maybe they are going to wear the sum-
mer kind all winter. But, anyway, we
miss the cuts in the underwear advertise
ments in which corn feds and fudge feds
pose around in union suits.
Once in while we see a girl who is so
pretty that we feel like walking right up
to her and telling her how much pleasure
it gives us just to look at her. And we
would, too, but for the fact that we hate
patrol wagons and hospitals and black
eyes and SIGH things.
After a man has been married for Is or
20 years he would like to have a dollar for
each time his wife has said to him: you
used to take me out once in a while, but
now you don't know I'm on earth" And
he would like to have time for each
| time his wife has said to him: I'D like
| to have something decent to wear like
other women
| When a girl has good figure and is
wearing thin waist with an uncorseted
effect, 1t Is hard for her to look uncon-
cerned and pretend that she doesn't know
about the uncOrseted effect as 1t Is for the
| man who Is passing her.
| After all. there is nothing else in life
that matters so much as having the love
| of a good woman. Mother may fuss with
| father and may not demonstrate her
affection for him as she did during the
| honeymoon, but away down in her heart
he comes first in everything. She may
bawl him out now and then, but just let
| anyone else say mean word about him
| and see what happens.
| After a woman gets through reading all
