What is a royal old time? And why
can't we have young time? I'm
young and none Of us are so very old"
'Ha, ha," roared Muffy. "A royal
time means a time such as Kings and
Queens would have. A fine time, in
short"
I'm glad you say in short" said the
Little Bear. Then Wen get it all the
sooner and not waste time"
''Hush." said the other Bears. "We
mustn't be rude to Muffy."
And say an old time-not because
it's to be an old time, but because l
mean jolly time"
''He doesn't mean an old time. He
means a jolly time" said the Bears
"Old and jolly mean just the same"
"Oh, no, they don't" said Muffy.
Dear me. 1 shall have to have a
spring school class l can see, but now
Wen have our party"
So all the Bears stopped talking and
quietly they began to eat the goodies
which old Muffy had for them. The
best time they did have, and even If
Muffy had said funny things about CON
versation," and "old" and royal" they
all decided he was one Of the incest

The study Of architectural history is
interesting especially in its application
to modern buildings. Aside from the
entertaining development Of styles and
orders of architecture which are re-
counted and associated in the pages of
this history, II of course has a prac-
teal value to the architect. The larg-
er buildings, especially memorial struc-
lures and public buildings, are nearly
always designed To follow some definite
type Of architecture which originated
perhaps, great many years ago. Even
homes show the evidence of influence
of the old masters in this art. COun-
try estates are quite often arranged
| according to the plan of some Of the
ancient estates referred TO in the his

ITALY TO LIMIT DOMINATION
Can Gain No Advantage by Undue Ex~
pansion on Eastern Shores OF
Adriatic, Declares Writer.

It is, of course, evident that Italy
has no advantage to gain from nm I'M
due expansion Of her territorial hold
ings on the eastern shores of the Adj
ratio, Guglielmo Ferrero writes In the
Atlantic. Here the italian population
lives only on the coast, or near 1t, and
for this reason Italy cannot spread
her domination far into the interior
without mourning the risk of coming
into serious and severe conflict with
the subject Slavic population, or with
those Slavic states which will be In
position to intervene in their defense.
Italian mastery of the eastern coast
would therefore be limited to a thin
littoral strip Of land, and one need not
be great strategist to understand
what disadvantage II would be for
Italy to have to defend long line of
frontier n few dozen kilOmeters from
the coast, behind which would lie q
vast hinterland occupied by people
seething with discomfort Mt being cut
off from the sea.
II Italy, then, does not wish to be-
come involved in long and arduous
wars for the conquest Of this hinter-
land, her purposes will be best served
by reducing to a minimum her terri
torial annexation on the further shore
Of the Adriatic.
