new screen vehicle is none other than
his we'll known stage hit, Seven
Keys to Baldpate,' founded on the
story of that name by Earl Den Big
ger. Heralded as "mystery
farce it offers combination of novel
situations and surprises that keeps
the audience guessing from the be-
ginning to end. Just when the course
of the story seems clear the clever
author gives it a twist that discloses
an entirely unexpected theme. At
times it appears to be a farce of eX-
IRENE humor when suddenly it takes
on dramatic aspect that quickens
the heart beat, ending finally with a
complete surprise that leaves the au-
dience laughing not only at the play
but itself.

TACT AND SUCCESS.

Tact is combination of good tenn
per, ready wit, quickness of percep-
ton and ability to take in the exigency
of the occasion instantly. 1t is never
offensive, but is a balm allaying sus-
picion and soothing. 1t is appreciated
1t is plausible without being dishon-
est, apparently consults the welfare of
the second party and does not mani
fest any selfishness. 1t is never an
tagOnistic, never opposes, never
strokes the hair the wrong way and
never irritates. Tact, like fine man
ner, eases the way, takes the jar out
of the jolts, oils the bearings, opens
doors barred to others, sits in the
drawing room when others must wait
in the reception hall, gets into private
offices when others are turned down
1t admits you into exclusive circles
where wealth abounds, even though
poor 1t secures the position when
merit is turned away. Tact is great
manager. 1t easily controls people
even when combined with small
ability, when genius cannot get along

AN EXPERIMENT WITH BESs.

why, maybe will What sort of
experiment is it, anyway" Myra
asked cautiously.
1t was well to be cautious when you
were dealing with Cecily.
ITS an experiment with Bess.
Caroline Creve said the other day
that she didn't believe Bess ever
criticized anybody. But, of course, she
does. Let's talk about everybody we
can think of, and see how long it will
be before Bess finds fault with some
one. I'll give her twenty minutes.
1T may take longer than that" de-
clared Myra. 1T may take an hour.
Bess does like an awful lot of people.
But as you say, everybody criticizes
somebody, sometimes"
Bess was out on the porch when
her schoolmates arrived, and they sat
behind the screen of vines and talked
and talked. Girls of that age are not
likely to discuss abstruse subjects in
their conversations. They are far more
inclined to talk about people,. And
on this particular afternoon Cecily
and Myra were on the watch, and if
the talk wandered into generalties,
they very quickly brought it back to
some particular individual.
They talked about the schoolgirls
not Bess' especial friends, of course,
for they knew her loyalty too well to
imagine that they could lead her into
criticism of them. They talked about
the teachers, especially one unpopular
teacher of English. They talked
about some new neighbors upon whom
the older residents were inclined to
look askance

LETTRES DE CACHET.

Lettres de cachet was the name
given in France to warrants sealed
with the kings seal ordering persons
to be thrown into prison or eXiled
The first came into use about 1870 and
shortly became one of the popular
terrors of France. 1t is said that nc
less than 5000 lettres de cachet were
issued during the reign of Louis XIV
and $4,000 during the reign of Louis
XIV. In many cases these terrible
documents were secretly sold and
used as a source of illicit revenue
They were frequently signed in blank
and the holder of one of these roya
terrors could write in the name of any
person against whom he happened to
have a grudge. The national assem-
bly, abolished this Ubiquitous privilege
of issuing lettres de cachet on Novem

more these little things count. One or

THE VATICAN ROSE.

Leo X, who filled the Chair OF Peter
from 1913 to 1920, was man of singu-
larly benevolent disposition and rare
affability of manner. In special man
ner he was the friend of children.
He was standing one day at win
dow overlooking the Vatican gardens
when he noticed a boy who was
climbing with great agility the rather
high wall which surrounded the
grounds. Having accomplished the
difficult feat, he ran swiftly toward
rosebush which had been planted
seventy or eighty years before by
Pope Eugenius w, and which was just
then covered with lovely flowers.
Furtively glancing round, the boy
hastily snatched one of the roses and
set off at full speed evidently hoping
to escape as he had entered But he
was pursued. An officer of the Pope S
body guard, who had been an unseen
witness of the larceny, quickly cap.
tured the culprit.
The Pope, whose curiosity was
aroused. ordered the boy to be
brought before him. When the little
criminal stood trembling in his pres
ence, the Holy Father gently ques
toned him.
why did you enter the garden and
take away rose?'

THE TEMPERING OF BRONZE.

When King Solomon had reached a
certain stage in the building of the
temple of Jerusalem he wanted the
help of metal workers, for his people
knew little of that art. Therefore
he sent to his neighbor, Hiram, king of
Tyre, traditional descendant of Tubal
Cain, the pioneer of workers in brass
and iron. Brass in those days was
not brass, as it is understood now, but
properly bronze, observes the New
York Sun. So King Hiram sent his
master of craft, Hiram Abif.
The Bible relates that The was a
widows son of the tribe of Naphtali
worker in brass, and he was filled with
wisdom and understanding and cum
ming to work all works in BRASS
Masonry holds Hiram Abif as its
founder and Masonic tradition has it
that this master metal worker was
murdered by jealous artisans in Solo
mons service.
1t seems that Solomon wanted Hi
ram Abif to teach one of his men how
to fashion and to mix that wonderful
bronze so that he, too. should have
master of the craft in his own king
dom. News of this came to the ears
of a lesser artisan, who also had as
pirations. Therefore when the temple
was finished and the night before the
man of Tyre was to return to his ma
tive city he was waylaid and muir.

The hour was long over when
Cecily happened to mention Minna
Barclay. And at once Bess' pretty
brows drew into a slight frown.
Cecily exchanged glance with
Myra. She looked hopeful.

FATHER ScHoUvALoFF.

Among the number of noble Rus
century to the bosom of the Catholic
Church, one Of the most distinguished
by birth and piety was the late Rev.
Augustine Count Schouvaloff.
He was born in st. Petersburg in
1904, and after many Affections and
interior trials. was converted at
Paris, after the death of his wife, and
made his abjuration in the hands of
the sanity Jesuit Father de Ravignan
on the 9th of January, 1S43, in the
verts, Madame Swetchine and Prince
Theodore Gallitzin.
A few years later he retired from
the world, and being admitted into the
Order of Barnabites, some members
of which he had learned to love and
respect many years before in Milan
he made his VOWS of religion on the
End day of May, 1857, and on the 18th
of September of the same year was
ordained priest. He was Immediately
sent to Paris by his superiors, and
during the rest of his life, which
alas. was only too soon to end, he
was perfect model of humility, char
ity and zeal for the conversion OF
sinners.
He was an eloquent preacher, and
perfectly familiar with French, Ger
man, Italian and English, and used to
hear many confessions in these Ian
guages, besides giving missions in
French in Paris, Orleans, Amiens and
other cities of France. He never
ceased to love and pray for Russia
and after his conversion he used to
offer his life every day to Almighty
God if he would accept of it as some
sacrifice for the reunion of Russia to
the Holy See. 1t was for his fellow
subjects particularly that he wrote an
account of his conversion and voca-
ton, which has been translated into
several languages, and recently into
English with the following title: MY
Conversion and Vocation. BY the
Rev. Father Schouvaloff, Barnabite.
Translated from the French, with an
Appendix, by Father c. Tondini, Bar

there. He had been sent by the Holy
Father himself to see the sick woman.
Having inquired into her case, the
doctor prescribed suitable remedies,
and before long the poor mother re-
gained health and strength. Her dream
was verified
The Pope was so pleased with the
boys flial love that he arranged for
his education. He never had cause to
regret his benevolence. His protege
became holy and learned priest. He
always retained the most grateful
recollection Of his benefactor; and III
the extreme old age to which he lived
it was one Of his chief delights to
relate the story Of the Vatican rose.
