LEARNING TO FORGET BEAUTY
Difficult Lesson for Woman, Asserts
 English Writer, in Describinuthe Aged Queen Alexandra.

"There is no more difficult lesson for a woman to learn than that of learning how to forget that she has been beauti- full" writes clever English woman.
 'sOne afternoon I saw Queen Alex andPa driving slowly in her open motor through the. gates at Hyde Park cor ner. For the first time it occurred to me that this rarely lovely queen is now an old woman nearing fOnr-score years of age. Perhaps she had forgotten to he alert, as is her usual custom, or per haps the heat of the day had fattgued her. But at any rate there was touch of tragedy in the thought that Queen Alexandra is learning slowly, but surely, that extreme beauty can fade although the charm of person. ality can challenge the attack of time.
 ''I fancy it must have been the queen mothers costume that brought this idea most surely before me. She was wearing a mantle or cloak made of some material in shade of iridcScent blue spangles with a close frilllng of black lace all round the edge. Her hat or bonnet was of the usual royal shape and built of jetted stuff to match her cloak, with a small white aigrette standing erect ill front.
 "Undcr ordinary circumstances one would regard this quaint nineteenth century toilet of the queen mothers as characteristic cOnventionality, but somehow on this sunny afternoon it represented to me a sacrifice to the in- evitable."

Private, Unable to Speak English, Gives Explanation After His
 Second Reprimand.

A private of foreign extraction re- gently appeared at reveille with his Overcoat unbuttOned. contrary to reg ulatiOns, relates a caDt0nment core sDondent. The colonel, who happened to be on the scene, noticed this dis crepancy; he called the man out of the ranks, took him to his office and delivered a stern lecture on the neceS- sity of military exactitude. During the admOnitiOn the private maintained a dignified silence. When the colonel had finished, he pointed to the door The man went out.
 The following morning he appeared at revellle with his coat again unbut- toned. When the formality was con cluded, the captain called him to one side.
 "Didnt the colonel tell you to keep your coat buttoned?" he demanded.
 The private regarded him bIanEly
 q say, didn't the colonel tell you to keep your coat buttOned?"
 The man looked at the officer with a puzzled expression:

Camera Lenses Wanted.

The United States signal corps has issued an appeal to the owners of all high-grade cameras. The signal corps needs the lenses of their machines for war work. It is known that the Unit ed States bureau of standards has solved the problem of manufacturing high-grade. optical glass for aircraft camera lenses, but apparently they cannot be produced in quantity fast enough to equip our fleet of airplanes' The United States has always been a great field for amateur photographers. and there are large number of high grade European-made lenses scattered about the country. These lenses the signal corps wants to buy. Long fo' GUS lenses working at large apertures are the only kind which can be used.
