When Eranknesa Hurts.

Candor and frankness are such beau-
tiful things that it is pity they should
ever be allowed to degenerate into
mere bluntness. Sincerity can be kind
and tactful. Bluntness turns the truth
into a sort of bludgeon with which to
beat down and destroy. Frankness
makes the truth helping hand held
out to rescue.

RUSSIA NOT QUITTING.

It was an unfortunate statement which Kerensky made when in refer ring to the load which Russia has been carrying and the handicaps which 1t is experiencing at the present time. de permitted the impression to get abroad that his country was ready to or was getting ready to quit. It Is to be remembered that Kerensky did not say in so many words that Rus sia was to get out of the war. He referred to the fact that it had en- tered the war early. that it was worn out by the strain and that the allies must now do more than they have been doing in bearing the burden and this led to the hasty conclusion that Russia was going to drop out. ar -ange a separate peace or something like that and quit the war. Such, however is not the fact and it We s only the incomplete manner in which the first report of this statement was handled that such an interpretation could be placed upon 1t. And even in that Kerensty does not say that Russia is going to quit but the con ditioas in that couhtry and the disor- eanization of the army taken in con .nectien with his statement encour- aged such an idea.
 What Kerensky was unauestionably endeavoring to emphasize is the fact that Russia needs help, and in spite cf what it has been getting it needs more. It faces not only the conduct of the war but it has enough inter nal trouble to require ai1 its attention even if no war existed. But even if Russia engag ges in no offensives at a time when such could be carried on with good results, it is not believed fha& -r-fH af a1,f nf fha vx-er Ft present government has committed itself to stick to the end and the con fidence of the United States therein is duly reflected in the additional credit which has been granted it at tf1is time

BY ALI MEANS ACCEPT IT..

The Boston Symphony orchestra has been given much additional and not altogether favorable publicity be- rause of the stand which has been taken by it's leader cencerning the piayfng of the Star Spansied Banner Although he has refused to find place on his programme for this great pntriotic anthem, the latest informa- tion IS to the effect that while it's playing on other occasions has been refusEd it has now been agreed that 't will become a part of each even i,i:'s eatertainnsent. but with it Diree- Ter Muck hands in his resignation.
 This doesn't place the director in a very favorable light. He has con- tended that the national anthem had no place in such a progra mme as the orchestra gives and in fact the pro- grammes are made up long in ad- vance. No one will contend that the Star Spansled Banner is in a class with operatic and classical music and under ordinary conditions there would be no thought Of asking for it, but it is ridiculous to claim that 8 place cannot be found for 1t. There is far more reason for 1t than there Is fer eliminating German operas. which some people are cianoring for, and if Director Muck cannot find a place for it on his programme or Is net willing to lead the orchestra when 1t is played then the only thing to do is to accept his resignation and do so at once even if he is a great director and musical artist
 There is little chance that the work of some of the great German com posers will eyer be discarded because of international complications but un- der existing conditions Director Muck 1r n af eli organization ought to be able to ap- preciate American feeling and respond aeeoFdfn ely- There is apparently no danger that it would make him any the less loyal to Germany: A place for our national anthem can be made in most any programme if there is the dfsposikion.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society.
Church of St. ouentin-.swhi

Church of St. ouentin-'While not of such world wide fame as the Ca thedral of Rheims, and although it lacks the sectacElar historic assccia- tions of the great structure which saw the continuation of Joan of Arcs of forts, the Collegiate Church of St. Quentin, so recently ravaged by the Germans, is one of the finest Gothic structures in all France" says to- days war geography bulletin issued ty the National Geographic Society concerning the burning of the St. Quentin structure after it had been stripped of it's art treasures by the invading vandals
 Situated to the east of the Hotel de Vile, the Church of St. Quentin suffers from the fact that it is Cor was) closely surrounded by numerous smaller and unattractive buildings, making it impossible to gain a com prehensive view of the structure. Un- like the cathedral at Rheims, whose Church of St. Puentin has no west facade. but terminates in this direc- tion with a tower and portal of Pomanesque architecture. The sta tues which formerly decorated t-e portal have disa appeared.
 One of the odd features of this great structure, which is 310 feet long nnd 130 feet high. is it's double tran septs rarely found in Gothic churches.
 ''The choir of the church closely re- sembied that of the Rheims cathedral, and was quite elaborately decorated W .th poiychronic paintings, while in bas relief on the beautiful choir screen was depicted the story of the n,artyrdom of St. Quentin.
 Tt took four centuries to complete the St. Quentin cathedral and per haps four hours to destroy it. Work began in 1114 and the choir was finished two hundred years later, and the south portal in 1477.
 'sStril<ingiy beautiful features of the buildings were the seven apsidal chapeis and the wonderful stained glass windows in the principal tram sept.
 f.In the 11th century crypt (rebuilt in the 18th ceTtury) were the tonbs end his fellow martyrs Victorious and Gentianus. Until caius Quintinus came to preach Christianity here in the 3rd century and suffered death at the hands of tns prefectlRectius Varus the town was itown as Augusta Yer nanduorun.
 Tn destroying the church the Ger mans in all probability also razed Lenglet's splendid statue Of Quentin ds- La Tour which stood immediately in front of the church. De La Tour was the famous pastelist, a native son of St. Quentin who received the title If fainter to the King in 1750 and who retired to this city at the. age of
 
 of his life in the distribution of his fortune to the worthy charities of the community. This La Tour was no relation to that matchless soldier La Tour D'Auvergne, whose singular bravery and n,cdesty won from Napo- icon the title of First Grenadier of Trance" and whose memory is still Kept alive in his regiment of the Guards the 46th by having his name called at all psrades when a non- commissioned officer answers, Mort au champs d'flonneur.' This is in compliance with a decree issued by Napoleon more than century ago."

with the large number of vessels which are getting past the underwa- ter boats and the big tonnage which is being put forth to replace those sunk that there is diminishing prospect that the submarine policy will be able to accomplish what was expected of it.
 Although he made no direct men tion of that fact, the reference of Lord Geddes to the destruction Of more submarines in the past three months than fin all of 1918 is open to the in ference that this country through its devices and destroyers is playing it's part in beating the U-boats since it is within that time that our help has been furnished. But whether it is through American or English opera tions or the combined effects of both, it is gratifying to learn that the sub marines are not having everything their own way.

A BR REAkFAST ROOM.

If you have little room that seems to be impossible for anything else, why rot convert it into. little breakfast room? Breakfast is usually such a disjointed meal. one eating at one hour and the rest at another, that a little cheerful room where one can breakfast at ally hour without disturbing the main dining room is a comfortable convenience. The expense need not be very large, good taste and little time being more in this case than actual cellars and cents. Such a room seen recently was so charming, so delight fully quaint that the family got in the habit of taking their lunch there, too. using the dining room only for the lowish cream color and the furniture consisted of a table and chairs painted :, dull olive green. Yellow nasturtiums decorated the backs of the chairs and the sides of the table.
 Hand painted furniture is of course rather expensive but a vicarious painting can be effected by cutting out the flowers from wall paper, past ing them on the furniture and go- ing over all with varnish. Cheese cloth was used for the curtains, gNen with a double thickness of yellow. A simple centerpiece consists of a bowl, green or yellow, holding either vel low flowers or a green fern. A few shelves were run around the walls and on these were placed bits of china and pottery in colors to har- monize with the room A few potted plants placed or: the window sill and the addition of a canary in it's cage or gift all helped to make the room a spot of beauty and cheer. Could one find a room better fitted in which to start the day?

ALL ABOUT COLOR.

. Midnight blue holds it's own.
 Black is in demand by those who want to dress well in the afternoon and evening, but it does not hold a high place for street suits or freclAs.
 Dark green is serious rival to dark blue, and the French dressmak- CTS who exploited it last year are now reaping a reward because the public Is accepting it. Know yourself well, however. before touching any tone of green. If you're picturesque. you can wear it in any -cne of the shades that are variously known as jade, Egyptian snd lettuce.
 The woman who can wear jade clothes and jeweilry has a successful season before her. for many of the best materials are woven in this all turing but difficult tone, and the or iental shops gre filled with bits of fine. jade made into earrings. hair combs and necklaces. There are fans of peacock feathers with jade sticks and also buckles of this Chinese quartz for slippers. Soft gold tis- sue gowns are embroidered with jade beads, in the Kyzantine fashion.
 Red hickers through the color scheme or bursts upon the vision like the flame from the artillery at the front, It is against the accepted psychology that the colors of war should be exploited while war is on-
