OCT. IS, 1900.

Thomas Darlington Macauley was
born in Leicestershire, England, and
gave evidence Of his writing ability at
a very early age indeed. Before he was
5 he had written a Compendium Of
Universal History" which gave fairly
accurate account OF the principal
events from creation until 1900, and
besides this, a romance after the man
ner of Scott. called, 1.-THE Battle OF
Cheviot."
brought him into immediate public
notice. AS he was also brilliant con-
versationalist he became = great social
favorite. Then he discovered that his
father had no money. and that he
could not make more than q few hun
bred a year from literature He went
in for politics and in . short time was
sent to India to oil an important post,
at salary Of $4,000 . year. He was
to stay Ave years and expected to
save three years salary. While there
he read and re-rsad the classics Of
Greece and Rome. Their immediate In
fiucnce on him was to make him write
the Lays Of Ancient Rome"
These classics influenced him. too. In
the desire to write history. When he
went home again he gave some time to
politics but more and more to his
History Of England" This had the
nost enormous success: at one time he
received a check for 100000 from his
publishersAa thing that was . land
mark in literary history. He with
drew more and more from people as
he grew older, and devoted his time to
his writing. He died when he was 50.

NO FOOLS LIKE I'm.


Iowa is trying to get a marriage an
nulIed. The old fellow has $50 acres
of land that he wants to keep and a
new wife acquired thru advertisement
that he wishes he had not. It's the
same old story. A beautiful and re-
fined young woman of "a advertised
her charms and her longing for con-
uuaial bliss. The old farmer INV the
advertisement It seemed nv the
goods were precisely what he - lsok-
ing for. He opened nessahtsons,
brought on the charmer, married aer.
bought her diamond rings and q fur
coat and gave her some spending
money. Next day he had her in the
police station. Said he found her at
the railway station preparing to leave
town. She says the old man has fits
and rolls about on the floor much to
her disuay and discomfort And now
the old fellow is wondering how he can
get out Of his Little flyer in matr1mony
with his pocket book and the $50 acres
intact.
Actually. there are no fools like EN-

CHIC AUTUM STYLES
BY MARGARET ROHE
written for the United Press)

Los Angeles, Sept. l3.-Why go to
Paris for your fashion hints, when in
California you can so easily tell the
forecasts of the mode by the stars
movie stars, of course = whose film
fashibns picture the latest wrinkles
evolved by French designers almost
even before Parisiennes get on to them.
Out in Hollywood, where the stars do
move in their Universal orbits, to say
nothing of Paramount, Pathe and Gold
win courses the Paris decree has the
cinema sanction that the 1919 model
maid and matron will meet the first
tang of autumn in garb of gabardine.
This sounds so different from the in
evitable serge in which she has repell-
ed the first GOODNESS of divers preced-
| ing falls. Yet so alike are serge and
its first cousin, gabardlne, and its Sec
ond cousin trfcotine, that only close
scrutiny can distinguish these three
twilled triplets apart. But oh, what
that subtle little difference does mean
to the tickle feminine! Though last
year s serge frock be smart and chic,
still she will die of chagrin till she
grabs gabardine.
Anything to get away from the navy
i'blue serge that has shown which way
the fashionable autumn wind blew for
SO long time. Though the gabardine
does not surge far from it's family re-
semblance to serge, at least It is draw
ing the color line. With joyous aban-
don, it abandons the blues and goes in
strongly for all shades of tan and
brown In spite of prohibition, fashion
does seem to have dark brown taste
this fall. Of course, blue will not be
DOTTED completely, but it will run sec
ond to the brown shades this year
even though it is guaranteed not to
run. Gabardine of black, too, promises
dark future even as our past has been
