BARK FROM AFRICA
HELPS OUT TANNERS

London. Aug. BIN view of the fact
that shipments of quebracho from Ar
gentine have been restricted and the
French chestnut bark supplies are not
available, tanners are glad to hear
that the shipping controller has au-
thorized the importation of 5000 tons
OF waffle bark from South. Africa
monthly.
Works are said to have been cstab-
lished in Natal for the extraction of
tannin from the bark and in view of
the fact that waffle wood is being
used in the manufacture of explosives
acctone being extracted from it. the
wattlewood industry promises large
developments.
Prior to the war most of the wat
tewood bark imported into England
was re-exported to Germany.

or INTEREST TO WOMEN
SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
BY Helen Rowland.


Copyright. 1917, by III Press Pub. Co.
tThe New York Evening Worldly
Behold. my daughter, a bachelor OF
Babylon came unto me saying:
How. oh mother. shall choose a
Wife?"
For 10, the damsels OF my acQuain-
lance are as the rugs upon my floor,
all Of which are beautiful and fas-
cinating. but none perfect or flaw
less!
Behold. on the floors of my bache-
Tor den there are four rugs Of great
price and wondrous weaving, and each
IL the delight Of mine eyes and the
pride Of my heart;
Yet, were called upon to choose
one among them, could not do so.
For like unto a woman, each is full
Of charms and full Of faults
10, the first rug ID perfect in col
oring and beautiful in>weave, yet ex-
ceeding small Withal. 1t could not fiji
my room more than q light and friv-
olous minded woman, however lovely,
could fill my life.s
And the second rug is big and
brilliant and Of q striking pattern; yet
there are times when its loudness and
its gayety crate upon my nerves and
are exceeding wearisome to my sight,
even as a brilliantly and scintillating
woman!
And the third rug is OF rare
quality, exquisite and wondrous rich!
Yet, it Is an antique, and will shortly
be passee and ready to be laid away
upon the shelt--even as a beautiful
woman that hath reached the ripeness
Of maturity.
And the fourth rug is faultless in
weave pleasant In coloring. and SUBJ
stantial in quality, yet OF pattern
so commonplace that it afforded me
neither delight nor thrill, nor any
thing save comfort-even as q dull.
good, stupid woman.
How then could choose one of
these from out the lot. even as must
choose wife from among the damsels
Of Babylon?
For, verify verify, man findeth
one woman beautiful and alluring yet
short Of brains or character, and an
other woman dazzling and inspiring.
~ SNSS~Nsh5 tACoOlACs dtIlO LIlOlHCl,
rich and gracious. yet passee; and an
other solid and comforting, yet a bore.
And. In women, as in rugs, there
is nothing perfect, save IN novels and
the Imagination"
And | answered him gently, saying:
BE of good cheer, my son! For
thou shalt not stand the chance even
of a Monaghan. Thou shalt have no
choice: but shall wed the first damsel
who chooseth to marry thee!
And afterward, thou shalt become
so accustomed to her charms, even az
to her faults, that none other would
satisfy thee.
Verify. verify, he that goeth
through the world demanding perfec.
tton Is doomed to eternal misogyny!
And his life shall be emptier than
q summer girls head and flatter~th,
a last years flirtation!
but wise man accepteth a wife
as is.' and rcjoiceth that she Is not
perfect.
"For. peradventure, he himself is
not flawless!"
Selah.
