have heard from time to time, says a
woman who knows whereof she
speaks, that you and your mother
are beginning to worry bit because
none of the nice young fellows who
call on you come back more than once
or twice. Your mother ought to
know the reason, and I think it is
about time for you to know, too. 1t
isn't because the young man doesn't
like you, honey-almost any nice
young man would do that. It's be-
cause they find out, after a short ac-
quaintance, that you know more
about clothes than clotheslines; that
you know how to see a powder puff,
but know nothing about how to build
a cream puff; that you know how to
paint and fire china but never tried
your hand on painting the Kitchen
Dashboard nor attempted to bake a
loaf of bread; that Mrs. Vernon Cas-

OLD WORLD NEWS

Valuable Frames.-Perhaps the
most valuable frame ever made for a
picture is that which encloses The
Virgin and the Child in the Cathedral
of Milan. 1t is of massive hammered
gold, with an inner moulding of lapis
lazuli. The corners have hearts de-
signed in large pearls and precious
stones are inlaid around it. It's esti-
mated value is $125,000. One of the
pictures in the Vatican is enclosed in
a frame studded with jewels, SO that
it's value nearly equals that of the
painting. Many continental churches
have pictures with similar frames Of
great value. -
A Shameful Traffic.-There have
been found persons mean enough to
take advantage of the activity of the
Holy See, in helping the afflicted, to
dishonesty advance their own ends.
According to the "Osservatore" the
Holy See has become aware of the
fact. These persons, it appears, are
posing as agents of the Holy See and
making money bargains with persons
interested under the pretense that
they will obtain through the Holy See
the homecoming of prisoners, or in
formation concerning missing soldiers.
Against this unspeakable and shame
full traffic" says the NOsservatore, .

altogether one of the most picturesque
