FOUND WAY TO KILL TIME
French Made Many Copies In Long

Of $4,000 Verses.

Today, when there is such a prem
ium on time, one finds 1t hard to real
lie the condition portrayed by William
Wistar Comfort In the BoOkmqn;
I'm its day. and for two OF three
centuries later, The Romance Of the
Rose was the most popular work com
posed in medieval Europe. It consists
Of about $4,000 e%ight-syllable verses IL
the old French original. That forms
n very considerable poem. A poem
in two volumes would be sufficient If
our day to rebuff most readers. Bu1
think of copying out in longhand- sucf
q poem!
"Time was something to be killed
by our ancestors, and hands were
found to copy this endless poem al
most 200 times. That Is to say, We
have nearly 200 French manuscripts
Of the Roman de Ia Rose and thai
does not account for gil those thai

CARRY FLAG OF THE STARS"
Red Cross Men, First at Front, Show
That Emblem Stands for Ten.
,derness and Pity.

It Is a beautiful thing to know that
the first armed contingent that carried
the American flag to the front on the
allied lines was drawn from the men
of the Red Cross ambulance, and that
the first official division Of the Amer.
lean army to land in England for serv-
ice in the great war was d hospital
unit. 1t Is beautiful to think, too, that
the same papers that told of General
Pershing's visit to the tomb Of Ma
poleon, the master soldier, had also the
story of q splendid fund that Is being
raised to furnish and send to France
q complete base hospital in memory Of
General Pershing's wife.
1t is good to feel that d flag Of
the stars" is standing for tenderness
and pity more than for the pride Of
war, and that the blood with which 1t
must 80 soon be stained with the SCARF
and rents which 1t must so soon re-
ceive will be as wounds borne not for
glOry's sake but for the healing Of the
nntiOns.
For we have come ut last to know
that 1t Is sacrifice alone that buys for
us the high things Of the spirit; that
blood is the price Of soul sovereignty
and of national renewal Of heart. We
accept again this i%nscrutable mystery.
1t is Gods decree.
Our starred flag, with its new
wounds. its new stains Of blood, Is the
beacon Of our faith, the emblem Of our
trust in the coming of that war-bought
peace to which our sword is pledged

SILK HAT LOSES POPULARITY
In London, Where Every Man Wore
a"reppsr" Until Recently, Caps
Ars Now the Rule.

Our Grandfathers wore "stoyepipe
hats" and the hats Of politicians were
one time frequently called "plug hats"
This male head.dress. even more ex-
traordlnary than the derby. books Of
etiquette sometimes say should not
call a "sllk hat" but a "high hat" In
London but a few years ago no man
ever went into the city with other
than a top hat, OIL topper" as they say
0ver there.
1t is said that the going out of gen.
eral favor of the silk hat has been 0c.
casioned In a considerable degree by
the popularity Of %raincoats in prefer
ence to umbrellas. If you observe any
great crowd in England today you will
find in it few hats Of any kind; 1t ID
in the main a sea Of caps. The Ameri'
can "dude" and the antebellum British
"knut' always wore silk hats.
