Standards Of Beauty.

In commenting on the antique fur.
niture" craze, Irwin S. Cobb says in a
recent issue of the Saturday Evening
Post:
"One generation buys furniture and
uses f. The next generation finds It
hopelessly old-fashioned and out Of
date, burns it up or casts it away or
gives it away anything to get rid Of
it. The third generation spends vast
sums of money trying to restore it or
the likes Of it, for by that time the
stuff which was despised and discarded
Is in strong demand and fetching fan
CIV prices. The only mistake is to be-
long to the middle generation, which
euriously enough is always the pres
ent. To-day's monstrosity is day after
to-morrow's art treasure"
With all due regard to Mr.. Cobbs
great opportunities for study and OBJ
servation, he is not correct in stating
that "today's monstrosity is day aft
er-to-morrow' art treasure" There is
a standard Of beauty and fitness which
runs through all good furniture. There

The trouble with most Of us is that
we have never learned what beauty

we haven't had the opportunity. We

WRITER PELLEY'S "THE GREAT
Err GLORY"

Those who are lovers of descriptive
writing win find something in their line
in THE Greater Glory" written by
William d, Policy, formerly editor OF
the st. Johnsbury Caledonian, and pub
lished recently by Little, Brown & Co
of Boston. The book fairly teeems
with description description of scenes
OF persons, of events and, apparently,
of the writer's own experiences. In
fact, there is so much description that
the reader waits long time before
getting at the meat of the story or
connects with the plot which later sus-
tains the story. Practically all the de-
scriptions are fashioned to fit Vermont
locale, Vermont character and Vermont
environment; and to add the intimate
touch, the writer has brought in the
names of some Of the chief cities and
towns of the state, as well as of Yer
mont institutions. There are "homey"
writeups Of church sociables, amateur
theatricals, "small- town" activities
newspaper office conditions-for the
scene might be said to be laid in a
newspaper office-and, in addition,
some blood and thunder crimes which,
while startling, do not really add to
the interest of the work. The reader.
while perusing some of the doings of
Mary Purse, nee Wood, printer woman
and mother of six stalwart sons, might
easily imagine himself in some church
sociable or at FIRST night of some
amateur theatricals in his own town.
so wildly are the sketches set forth
and so true to life.
So, as we said in the first place, the
lover of descriptive writing and partic-
ularly as it relates to Vermont would
find much of interest in Mr.. Pelley's
book; and, as also said previously,
when the vital current of the story. is
once struck, deep down in the three
and seventy odd pages of the
book, the quiekening of the story is
quite noticeable. Indeed, there is so
much difference between the first and
the latter parts Of the volume that one
might easily imagine that the first
part was the work of early effort in
Mr.. Pelleys literary career and that
the second, or latter, part had received
the benefit of development in the field
IF letters. There is a more pronounced
about the second part. |
Many good morals are brought out in
.he story and the better side of life is !
5et out in such striking contrast to
he evil in the latter pages Of the vol |
line that there is much to be com
nended concerning the influence Of the /
look, albeit ii did look for a time as |
{ the evil would be set forth in too
llluring manner. Altogether, Mr.. Pei.
ey's "The Greater Glory" is book of |
interest.

MAN OF WHO'S LOONEY
NOW?" FAME CLEARED
% = YEAR LEGAL FIGHT
ENDS AT LAST.
Supreme Court Declares John
Armstrong Chaloner Sane
and Competent.

New York, July 26.-U. N. S)-A
| twenty -two-year legal fight which
| attained nationwide notoriety was
ended here today when Supreme
Court Justice Ford declared John
Armstrong Chaloner, of who's loo
! ney now" fame, to be sane cit-
zen and a man of competence"
All of Chaloner's legal rights as a
citizen of New York state were re-
stored and he will be restored to full
management of his $2,000,000 estate.
The decision was a lengthy one
and traced the history of Chaloner's
case back to 1897, when the young
minor was first committed to Bloom
ingdale asylum at the behest of some
members of his family. He had been
divorced two years prior to that
time by Amelie Rives, the novelist,
who later married Prince Troubetz-
koy.
The courts of Virginia declared
Chaloner sane in 2901 following his
escape from Bloomingdale. and he
was also declared sane in North
Carolina. In late years he has lived
in Virginia, where he has large es-
tates.
The now famous remark. who's
looney now?" was originated by
Chaloner years ago when he learned
that his brother, Robert Winthrop
Chanler, had married Lima Cavalieri,
the opera singer, and had settled on
her n large part of his fortune.
Chaloner's relatives did not op-
pose the present action.
AS a result OF his difficulties with
his family Chaloner some years ago
had his name changed from the orig
inal family name of "Chanler" to
"Chaloner"

Springfiel. Mass, July 26.-Grief-

campers who were drowned late yes
terday, with two men directors of he
Springfield Boys club, will insist
upon a thorough Investigation to
place responsibility for the accident,
it was said here today.
Searchers with graphing hooks
Iabored this forenoon to recover the
bodies from the waters of Big Pond
and recovered six. Search continues
for the rest.
The fiat bottomed boat In which the
boys were riding sank when the
launch which was towing them
turned back to the mainland. A
huge wave capsized the boat and the
struggling boys were thrown into the
water. Witnesses said today all sue
ceeded in clinging to the craft, but
when one let go and started to sink
the other let go and attempted to res
cue him. In the confusion and strug-
gle which followed all went down.
The two directors were pulled down
in the melee while trying to save the
youths.
Leonard Santasiero, 25, one Of the
camp directors, made heroic efforts
to save the boys. He leaped from the
launch into the struggling mass and
seized four, but their weight proved
too much and he sank with them
clinging to him.
When his body was recovered this
forenoon tho bodies of the four bows
were locked to him In death grip.

NO CONTEST OF
JUNE PRIMARY
Action of Supreme Court
Makes Election in Which
Women Voted Legal.
MATTER PROBABLY ENDED
Regular Election of July Be-
lieved by Lawyers to Be
Also Legal.

The opinion OF the supreme court
in holding that the woman suffrage
law is constitutional will probably
stop all action about to be taken In
an effort TO have the primary oi
June 10 declared Illegal. The firm
of Brown, Spurlock g. Brown, which
1t was stated had been employed to
investigate the legality of the pri-
mary, was called Saturday morning
and while a member of the firm
would make no statement regarding
any future action it might take, he
stated that the declaring of the suf-
frage law constitutional by the su-
preme court of course makes the
primary of June 10 legal. However
the member of the firm talking stated
that he had nothing to give out on
the situation at the present time.
It is thought, however. that the le-
gahty of the election of July 8 will
not be questioned on the grounds
that the women were not allowed to
vote. The legality of the regular cleo
tion was not. so much at question as
the primary in which the women
were allowed to vote. The women
were restrained from voting in the
election of July by an injunction of
Chancellor Newman at Nashville.
Moreover, 1t Is stated by many that
the contesting of the legality Of the
final election would be of no benefit
to any one should 1t be declared H.
legal. for the reason that If another
election were called the women would
be allowed to vote, and they are
known to favor the election of the
two members of the city commission
who were chosen. 1t is now thought
the chances for a contest of either
the primary or regular election is not
likely to occur and the matter seems
to be ended.
