"Grass Widows"

The term "Grass Widow" very like
ly originated from the wording Of a
Canon law of the eleventh century,
which ordained that widow should
remain under Gods protection and
Craze" for Il full year after her huS-
bands death, and then marry If she
pleased. Such women were widows
Of grace" and In later parish regis
tiers they are described as "Grasse
WidOwes." In the time Of Sir Thomas
More the term ''grass widow" was ap-
piled to unmarried mothers, and in
this sense it was used in most of the
Teutonic languages. In modern times
the term lost that reprOach, and has
been applied to the wives of men long
absent from home. Another explana-
ton Of Its origin Is found here In the
United States. During the days of
gold ruShes 1t was common for men
to board out their wives until they
had made enough to start home III
the West, and this, In the picturesque
speech Of the time, was termed "put-
ting ones widow out to grass"

WHERE FLAPPER IS UNKNOWN
Life in Japan Seems Largely a Matter
Of Negations for Both Girls
all Women.

In Japan the "fapper" has net ar
rived. The majority of Japanese
young girls never exchange Il word
with man of marringeable age out
side their own immediate family.
There is no masculine audience for
young feminine cOquettes and there is
no masculine eye to admire the little
personal adOrnmcntS, the choice OF
which fills such Il large part of the
frivolous western sisters exciting life.
1t would seem indeed that life for
the young Japanese girl is mainly
matter Of negatiOnS. observes the New
East Magazine. She has no real clothes
problem. Her dress har been designed
by some mysterious power long be-
fore she was born. 1t has been de-
creed that Mt II certain age she shall
wear certain cOlOrs, which must be
changed ut certain seasons. Her
kimOnO shall have longer or shorter
sleeves on this or that occasion. Her
obi shall be so high and Of such and
such colors. She has not even to think
OF how she shall arrange her hair, for
the sumo lnysteriOus power has decreed
that the hair shall be oiled, stiffened,
combed and twisted into given pat
tern. AS this mysterious power has to
be obeyed,H hairdresser has to be en-
ployed regularly for the right fixing
of this cOiffure.
A Japanese girl is scarcely an indi-
vidual, but IS rather part of pldn,
and her silhouette must correspond
with the plan. A husband having been
obtained for her. dowry provided. her
wardrobe filled. she has not even to ex-
ercise originality In the furnishing OF
her home. The same mysterious pow
'er has decreed how this home shall
look.

HOW WAR BONDS
60 Up IN VALUE
History of All Loans for a Cen
fury Shows That Advance
Has Always Gene with
Peace.

Will history repeat itself? That
question is in the minds OF many bond
buyers these days. Records show that
the prices OF bonds were way down
during war times Of the past but soon
after peace was declared advanced
rapidly.
During Napoleonic wars prices OF
English 3 per cent. consols ranged
from 67h, the high and SAN. the low,
in 1914 to 967s the high and SAN the
low. in 1924. During the same period
80. the high. in 1914 to 1913 in 1924.
They also went as low al 45 in 1914.
French 5 per cent. rentes during the
Franco-Prussian war ranged in price
from 751 to S7.3 and sos to 81.
United States bonds during the Con.
federate war sold for 95N. the high.
and SO. the low. in 1861. but from then
on they had practically a steady rise
until 1873. at which time the high was
123B and the low 111h. The ten.
forty-year bonds. put out in 1864 ad.
vanced from 103h to 11GM in ten
years.
-Four series Of Liberty Bonds have
been issued and the f1fth-to be
known as the Victory Liberty Loan
will soon be offered. These securities
have behind them the mighticst pro.
lection ever devised-the resources
and the pledge and the faith Of one
Of the great nations OF the world.
The investment value OF the bonds
can never. decrease, for the interest
will always be paid and the bonds
will be redeemed at full face value
at maturity:

MAY AGAIN BECOME NATION
Possibility That Arab Tribes Will Be
Reunited az One Result Of
the Grea. War.

One Of the most interesting figures
mt the opening Of the peace conference
was Prince Emir Faisul. son of the
king Of the HedjaZ. the latter known
as "the grand old man Of the East" He
Is very handsome and his picturesque
headdress was we'll suited to his style.
AS the prince strobe up and down the
room before the opening of the session
he was perfect type Of Arab beauty
and dignity. The representation Of his
fine race In the pence conference and
their present effort to establish their
ancient Kingdom recall the general
opinion which. I believe, is held among
Orientalists that the Arabs are des-
tined ultimately to play big part In
the world. l have seen them in the
districts around the Suez canal and
the Red sea and have wondered wheth-
er they would not again become a
great people. Individually. It seemed
to me that they were finer than any
other Orientals. AS Il wandering race
they have lacked the cooperation and
cohesion which enable nation to
make Roadway. 1t would be one of
the historic rOmances if out Of the
world war the Arabs emerged as an
organized people prepared to assume
heavy responsibilities in the near
East. New York Times.

HIGH AMONG WORLDS GREAT
Despite His Admitted Fraiities, tho
Name Of Robert Burns 10
Deathless One.

One hundred and sixty years ago
there was born In Ayrshire In Scotland
n poor mans son who spent his own
life In poverty or the next thing to 1t.
He was born and lived In an out-of-
the-way place Mt a time when out-of-
the way places were hard to find. And
yet he Is remembered still. though all
the rich men of his time are forgotten.
The world made q beaten pathway to
his door and still travels the path in
cvcr-increuslng numbers as the years
60 by.
Also, this man. as n mar. was rs
weak as wafer. IF he were living to-
d;:y in any half strait-laced commun-
ity he would be branded as social
Cntcast. He was prOfligate.
Yet, with all thot, and more, no
memory Is more beloved than the
memory Of him now, century after
he passed into the silence and charity
Of the grave. No other name Is better
l.rown or upon more lips today than
Lis. Among the palm-crowned COM
pany Of the poets, he stands with the
five greatest.
The man was Robot Burns, and all
that we have heard said concerning
him merely proves that song Is the
most deathless Of all thirgs. The
songs that Burns made touched the
deepest depths Of the human heart.
They lcaped the quiet boundaries Of
obscure Ayrshire and swept the whole
world with their wondrOus music.
We have mentioned his faults only
tn prove that human frai)ties have
nothing to do with divine genius. God
could have chosen a saint upon whom
to bestow the gifts that he bestowed
on Robert Burns, but he did not do
50. He chose Il sinner.
Wherefore. "There are more things
in heaven and earth, Horatio. than are
dreamed Of In our phffosophy."-Los
